“You want to kick me out of the Lincoln Family now, just because you’re afraid that Dean Franklin will be angry and cause trouble for you.”
“Well, what if I get first place in the grade on the entrance exam?”
After Marie spoke, everyone around was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, sarcastic looks fell on Marie.
“Heh, first place? You really dare to say that!”
“If you can get the first place in the First Academy, I guess even a monkey can get into the Imperial University!”
Kenny shook his head and sneered, “I advise you to be more down-to-earth, don’t embarrass yourself.”
Mike also looked at Hayley with mockery in his eyes.
“That’s right, don’t talk about getting first place, if you can get in the top 100 of the grade, I’ll write my name backwards!”
The exam paper of the First Academy was already the most difficult in all of Brooklyn City.
Marie would be lucky to not be in the bottom ten.
Marie ignored the harsh voices around her and looked straight at Old Madam Lincoln.
No matter how much the others made a fuss, ultimately it was up to Old Madam Lincoln to make the decision.
Old Madam Lincoln frowned and looked coldly at her.
“You’re unrepentant!”
“But since you’re not convinced, I’ll give you a chance!”
“If you can get first place in the opening test of the First Academy, I’ll temporarily let you stay in the Lincoln Family.”
“Even I, an old woman, can apologize to you proactively. If you can’t do it, pack your things and leave the Lincoln Family!” Marie raised an eyebrow slightly.
“If i can’t do it, I can leave the Lincoln Family, but you’re just apologizing to me… These two conditions don’t seem equal, do they?” Kenny’s face suddenly turned cold.
“Marie, you need to stop!” Old Madam Lincoln gave her a contemptuous look.
“Fine, if you want fairness, I’ll give you fairness! If you can get first place in your grade, then this old lady will kneel down and apologize to you personally!” This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
“Mom!” “Mom, please think this through!” Old Madam Lincoln’s words scared everyone around her.
Even Madam Lincoln’s face turned pale, and she quickly spoke up: “Mom, she’s talking nonsense. You don’t need to stoop to her level. Even if I directly kick her out of the house, she won’t be able to resist. Why do you need to argue with her?” Old Madam Lincoln waved her hand.
“You don’t need to say anything!” She turned to Marie.
“Are you satisfied with this condition?” Marie nodded.
“Okay,” Marie agreed readily.
However, Old Madam Lincoln quickly added another condition.
“But I have one more condition,” she said, glancing at her grandson Reed beside her before continuing.
“If you can’t get first place in your grade, then you must voluntarily drop out of First Academy and transfer your enrollment spot to your cousin Reef.”
“Okay,” Marie agreed again.
However, the others present had different reactions to Old Madam Lincoln’s words.
Marie’s third uncle’s family looked pleased, while Madam Lincoln’s expression turned extremely ugly.
If the old lady just wanted to kick Marie out of the Lincoln Family, she wouldn’t say anything.
But this was clearly favoring her grandson.
However, even if she was unhappy, she dared not show it to Old
Madam Lincoln.
All she could do was vent her anger on Marie.
“You useless piece of trash! You have no skills, but you’re tough now! Let’s see what happens when your exam results come out!” Madam Lincoln’ features twisted in anger.
If Maria hadn’t boasted about being able to get first place and said that the spot would be lost if she didn’t get it, Reed wouldn’t have benefited!
At this moment, she had forgotten about Marie getting the spot, and had nothing to do with her.
All that was in her heart was an infinite anger towards Marie’s overestimation of herself.
“Sister-in-law, don’t be too angry. Cutting ties with Marie and having an extra room for a dressing room would be nice.”
Mike sneered, “Bets that have a predictable outcome are indeed boring.”
“Yes!” Reed father, Justin, Marie’s third uncle, laughed loudly.
“Thanks to my sister-in-law, my son had the opportunity to enter the first academy.
Reed, don’t forget to thank your auntie.” “Thank you, Auntie!” Reed promptly lifted his glass and signaled to Madam Lincoln, a happy smile on his face.
In Madam Lincoln’s eyes, this was clearly a demonstration, but she couldn’t lash out.
A surge of anger accumulated in her heart, making her feel like she was going to vomit blood.
“Grandma, I have to go to my tutoring class soon. I’ll take my leave now.” Marionette stood up at the right time and bid farewell to Old Madam Lincoln.
Old Madam Lincoln kindly nodded, “Marionette is still sensible. You should go now!”
“Okay.” Marionette smiled as she picked up her name-brand handbag.
As she passed by Marie, she deliberately asked, “Sister, do you want to come with me?”
“You go with Marionette!” Madam Lincoln interrupted before she could respond.
Marie would only cause trouble here and subject herself to ridicule from her relatives.
Madam Lincoln had long wanted to send Marie away but had been struggling to find a suitable reason.
Now that Marionette’s had offered to take Marie with her, it was just what she wanted.
Sigh!
Her youngest daughter was always the most sensible.
Indeed, having just one outstanding daughter was enough!
Marie’s behavior after returning did make Marionette feel a little uneasy.
After all, she didn’t expect Marie to no longer be the weak and pitiful girl she remembered.
Marie had learned to fight back.
However, Marionette’s unease disappeared when she saw Marie daring to confront the elders in public and even confidently stating that she would be the top student in the first academy grade.
