Chapter 228
228 Top Scorer
On this particular day, Victor just couldn’t sleep well. He approached Abel for a chat. “Do you think
Wynter will pass?”
Abel, visibly tormented, replied, “Grandpa, you’ve asked me this like ten times already. Yeah, she’ll
pass!”
Victor couldn’t shake his worries. “Did I perhaps set the bar too high with a CGPA of 3.5? Your brother
didn’t even score that much.”
Abel, stifling a yawn, quipped, “Grandpa, you can’t exactly compare Quinton to Wynter.”
Quinton was left speechless. Quinton remained defiant, his voice cold, “Grandpa, I just don’t
understand why you’re standing up for her.
“Yeah, they both share the last name. But compare Yvette’s grades to Wynter’s. It’s not just about
being at the bottom. Wynter cheats too!
“Remember how she confidently copied answers to those tough questions? She’s not even afraid of
getting caught.”
“Shut up!” Victor exploded in anger. “If I ever hear you spouting this nonsense again, you’re out of the
Lopez family!”
Quinton stood his ground. “We’ve all seen how she treated Yvette before, acting all different behind
closed doors. Right, Abel?”
“Don’t drag me into this.” Abel quickly waved off. “I barely know Yvette.”
Quinton couldn’t figure it out. “Abel, why do you always seem to have a problem with
Yvette? Don’t you see how talented she is? She’s already treating patients in Kingbourne.”
“Uh–huh,” Abel replied half–heartedly. When it came to treating patients, he firmly
believed that no one could compare to his boss.
Even though Wynter hadn’t replied to his messages in ages, she definitely wasn’t someone Yvette
could match up to.
Victor had never looked this serious as he warned, “Stay away from Yvette.”
Quinton felt annoyed. He couldn’t believe his brother and grandfather couldn’t seem to see people for
who they really were.
Adding to his frustration, Yvette had raised the question in the group chat about whether the Lopez
family needed her to facilitate connections in Kingbourne. Now they were all up
228 top scorer
late, waiting for Wynter’s results.
Quinton wasn’t even interested in the whole thing and was about to leave when, out of nowhere, the
phone on the table started ringing.
As Quinton was about to leave, he couldn’t help but overhear Victor’s anxious tone as he answered
Ivana’s call, “Hello, Ms. Kowalski, it’s me. How did she do? I can handle it, just tell
me…
Suddenly, Victor’s voice boomed, “What did you say?”
“Except for language arts and history, she aced everything else!” Ivana spoke rapidly.
“Mr. Lopez, you’ve got to figure out a way to keep Wynter. She’s not just the top scorer in our city but in
our whole state! “She could easily aim for a top university!” Ivana exclaimed excitedly.
Victor braced himself against the table, taking a deep breath. If Wynter aced it again this time, then last
time… it wasn’t just luck!
He realized that Wynter had always had this talent. She just kept it hidden. As Victor pondered this, his
hands trembled slightly. If that were the case, their school would be on the brink of something
incredible!
They wouldn’t have to worry about next year’s admissions at all. Even though they were a vocational
school, having the top scorer at the state level was a big deal.
Despite Victor’s expertise, especially in the medical field, nurturing a top academic achiever like Wynter
would make his lifetime worth it.
Quinton observed his grandfather’s struggle to speak and knew immediately that Wynter had messed
up.
It was pretty obvious. Wynter could only practice medicine online. There was no way she could achieve
a CGPA of 3.5. Quinton scoffed and sent a message to Yvette.
“She messed up the exam. The old man is probably figuring out how to cover for her now.”
“I should have shared my notes with Wynter.”
te, you’re too kind. Even if you share them with her, she won’t understand a thing.”
