The Heiress’s Revolt Chapter 2

"Yes, this is the Harvard Admissions Office. How can I help you?"

I asked word by word, "May I ask how many guaranteed admission spots your school has given to Hua Xin First High School this year?"

The person replied, "One."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. Based on Hua Xin First High's past performance, our school didn't intend to give them any spots. But this year is special. A student from Hua Xin ranked first in the city in this joint exam. After discussion, we gave the spot to this student."

"Then may I ask, is this student named Chloe Chen?"

The person hesitated. I heard the sound of a mouse clicking on a computer.

Then they replied, "No, it's Lily Vance."

When my name came out of the phone, the whole class went into an uproar.

All the students' eyes were fixed on Mrs. Chen and Chloe's faces.

And the voice from the Harvard Admissions Office continued.

He said, "This student, Lily Vance, not only ranked first in total score in this joint exam but also ranked first in every subject. Especially in the final bonus question in Physics, she used a theory recently proposed by international physicists to solve it, which shocked our grading teachers. That's why Harvard specially named Lily Vance for admission from Hua Xin First High."

"Thank you, teacher. Thank you for Harvard's recognition."

"You? You are Lily Vance?" The voice on the other end became excited. "Did you already know you were admitted to Harvard, so you called to verify? Haha, we were actually afraid you wouldn't come..."

"No," I interrupted him.

Then, I explained, "My homeroom teacher said the Harvard admission spot was designated for a student named Chloe Chen. They said Harvard values overall quality more, and wouldn't look at a nerd like me who only knows how to study."

The person was surprised. "Chloe Chen? Who is that? Harvard never intended to recruit this student. Besides... this name seems to have been disqualified from the joint exam for cheating!"

Mrs. Chen and Chloe's faces were already beet red.

Especially Chloe. As arrogant as she was just now, she was that ashamed now.

But she was still quibbling, "He's lying! I-I didn't cheat! I didn't..."

The classmates looked at each other, and various voices arose.

"It's one thing for Mrs. Chen to favor Chloe usually, but daring to openly steal an admission spot is shameless enough."

"Cheater. If someone like that can be admitted to Harvard, Harvard must be blind."

"Exactly. What is Chloe? If she weren't the teacher's daughter, she'd be nothing."

"Disgusting. If Chloe really got the Harvard admission, I'd report it to the Education Bureau immediately. There's no justice."

Whispers ran rampant.

I wasn't sure if the person on the phone heard them.

But his voice clearly became serious.

He said, "Student Lily Vance, as an admissions officer, I promise you today that no one can take away your admission qualification. If they do, then that person, and the student you mentioned who was 'admitted,' will definitely receive appropriate punishment."

"Okay, thank you."

The call ended.

I looked at Mrs. Chen again.

Mrs. Chen couldn't keep her composure, but the class was still going on.

With so many eyes watching her, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Lily, there might be some misunderstanding here. What's yours is definitely yours. I'll clarify with the school later. Maybe I read it wrong."

"Really? My name doesn't look like Chloe Chen's."

I narrowed my eyes.

Mrs. Chen coughed lightly twice. "Maybe I heard it wrong."

I didn't let this opportunity go and pressed on, "Heard it wrong, huh? Then why don't you just leave the mistake as is?"

Mrs. Chen was stunned. "W-what do you mean leave it as is?"

I smiled and said, "I don't want this admission spot anymore. Give it to whoever you want! Anyway..."

anyone other than me who gets the spot will be punished accordingly!
