Ewan couldn’t believe his ears.
“50 thousand dollars?” he blurted out, stunned. “Mr. Tilton, I run such a large company, and you’re only
offering me fifty thousand dollars?”
Larry shrugged indifferently. “Not Interested? Sult yourself.” With that, Larry abruptly ended the call,
leaving Ewan feeling utterly confused.
Ewan had spent the whole day reaching out to all the influential families he knew. But none of them
was willing to give him the time of day.
It was the first time Ewan had felt the gut–wrenching feeling of hitting rock bottom. The satisfaction he
had felt when he ousted Margaret was now replaced with deep discomfort.
Having been used to everyone addressing him as “Mr. Yates“, Ewan suddenly lost everything
overnight.
Feeling overwhelmed by the pressure, especially with debts looming and over a hundred employees
waiting for their pay, Ewan quickly called Larry again, saying, “50 thousand, Mr. Hilton!
“I’m ready to sell! But I need to sign the deal right now!”
With each day that went by, Ewan felt the weight of his problems piling up. Taking the money and
leaving seemed like the smartest choice.
He could go find Yvette in Kingbourne. With his abilities, Ewan was confident he could make a fresh
start and succeed in Kingbourne.
Inside the car, Larry glanced over at Wynter. With a nonchalant smirk, Wynter said, “Just say yes.”
Taking her advice, Larry said over the phone, “Alright, bring all the documents to the Chamber of
Commerce building.”
Ewan was in no mood to wait around. As soon as the call ended, he hit the road. The SUV
conveniently stopped at the end of the alley.
Who would’ve guessed that after finishing her exam, Wynter would end up acquiring a company on her
way home? Entering the clinic, she remained casually indifferent as usual.
Margaret asked about her exam and how difficult it was.
Wynter chuckled. “I think I did pretty well.”

Margaret visibly let out a sigh of relief but ended up burning the fish while cooking that evening’s
dinner. Wolf, who hadn’t been home for dinner in a while, frowned as he ate.
At the school, the grading teachers sat together in a group. To ensure fairness, they kept surveillance
cameras running throughout the process.
As they took turns grading papers, they usually didn’t encounter any issues with scoring.
However, the accuracy was unusually high. It was so impressive that Ivana, one of the graders,
couldn’t help but pause and take a deep breath.
“I have to ask, has Wynter made any mistakes up to this point?”
“Not in math!”
“And not in Emstian either!
“Her handwriting in language arts is a bit messy, so she might lose points for presentation. And there’s
a spelling mistake in the recitation section, which seems like a careless error, but then-”
Ivana interrupted, “So, apart from some minor issues in language arts, she hasn’t made any mistakes
in other subjects?”
The office fell silent. The teachers suddenly grasped the significance of this revelation. They were
almost done grading the papers, with only the final major questions in each subject
left.
If Wynter hadn’t made any mistakes even in those major questions… The grading teachers exchanged
glances. Their excitement was clearly written all over their faces.
it was pure enjoyment. They each
If at first, it felt like working overtime. But now, it was pure e continued to review the answers.
The language arts teacher tried to speak, but the math teacher cut in. “Full marks! Wynter aced math!
No, she’s even better than perfect! She even got the bonus question right!”
The Emstian teacher stayed quiet, but her beaming face said it all. She’d been rooting for Wynter all
along, and now her eyes practically sparkled with joy.
As the language arts teacher kept going on about Wynter’s handwriting, everyone else ignored him.
They were grabbing their phones to call Victor. They couldn’t afford to let such a promising student like
Wynter sl*p away.
After Karina failed to mentor her properly and the unjust way she treated Wynter, they were committed
to giving Wynter the recognition she deserved.
