THE EXAM RESULTS HAVE ARRIVED!

— Amaranta might have been too excited last night. He couldn't sleep until very late at night. As such, she had fallen asleep. Fortunately, Grandma had woken her up, or she would still be sleeping right now.

—"Amaranta, I thought you were afraid."

Mariana couldn't help but make fun of Amaranta when she saw her.

— She couldn't wait to see Amaranta doing the rabbit dance on stage and at the last moment force her to dance in a more sensual way, with her school uniform no less!

— She had already asked to borrow a camera. She would take a photo of Amaranta and give it to her as a gift.

Mariana wanted Amaranta to see how fun she looked while she danced.

— Meanwhile, Amaranta was in a very good mood. He was confident that he could surpass Mariana at any time.

—"Mariana, I'm not afraid. I accepted the bet, so even if I lose, I will still go ahead with the penalty. I'm just worried about you. You are not trustworthy, and I'm afraid you won't do what we agreed to!"

—"Oh, don't worry about that. The person who will lose the bet won't be me!"

Almost everyone in class knew about the bet between Mariana Cid and Amaranta Cid.

— That was why everyone tried to avoid laughing when they heard Amaranta say that Mariana was not trustworthy.

Were they laughing at Mariana for not keeping her commitments or were they laughing at Amaranta for being too confident?

— The first class of the morning was biology.

Amaranta focused on answering the practice questions. She would not be at ease until the results of the college entrance examination were released.

— The college entrance exam was the turning point of her life.

She had to work hard to change the terrible fate of her.

— During break time, a student from another class ran up and shouted, "The mock exam results have been released!"

"Oh really?"

All the students ran out to see the results.

— Mariana looked at Amaranta calmly and asked, "Aren't you going to check your scores?"

"There's really not much to see. You're going to lose. I'm sure of it."

— Mariana started to laugh. "Amaranta, you know very well what your grades are like. I think you're afraid of losing to me and embarrassing yourself. That's why you're not going to go look at your scores. But don't worry. It's just a rabbit dance. It's not nothing shameful."

—"Mariana, sometimes being too confident is not a good thing. If I were you, I would go and check your scores. It won't be too late to be humble. What do you think?"

She felt that what Amaranta was saying at this moment was a pretence: she was worried deep down Mariana

Amaranta approached her and grabbed her arm. She said, "Come on. Let's see the results together!"

Some people really didn't know when to give up.

They would not surrender unless they were seriously injured.

—"Amaranta, are you sure you want to see the results with me? It would be uncomfortable if the results were not in your favour."

"Worry about yourself!"

There were many students crowded in front of the blackboards. When they saw Mariana and Amaranta approaching them, they moved aside to give them way.

Amaranta was especially sure of her results.

There were a hundred names on each board, and Mariana was sure she was in the top 10.

Mariana dragged Amaranta and looked at the list from top to bottom. They were both surprised by the results.

First place: Amaranta Cid, 740

Second place: Alberto Ortega, 631

Third place: Juan Sánchez, 610

Fourth place: Mariana Cid, 580

— MARIANA CID collapsed when she saw that she had taken the first position, AMARANTA CID

That was impossible!

How could that be possible?

AMARANTA had the worst grades in the entire class. How could she get such a good score?

No one had ever earned a score as high as 738 in the entire history of Deifont High School.

As? What did Amaranta do?

"It must be a mistake!" Mariana's face was pale as she muttered to herself.

"They must have written 740 instead of 140. There must be a mistake!" Mariana turned around and looked at Amaranta. "You can't get a score that high!"

— Such a score was too high for a girl who did not get a good grade in the other school years, it is simply impossible for this to be happening. There was no way Amaranta could have got that score. It's not possible!

— The person with the highest score had received 110 more marks than the person in second place. What kind of difference was this?

—"Amaranta, be a kind loser!"

Mariana Cid was enraged. She refused to believe the scores. She wouldn't accept defeat, especially from her cousin!

There must be a mistake. Surely, there was a mistake.

—"Amaranta, be honest. You know in your heart that this is not your true score!"

Mariana's empty words did not embarrass Amaranta

They made her angry. Instead, she smiled.

—"Mariana, use your brains. If this is not my real score, would it be posted on the board? Consider this. When I got high scores on the exams, our teachers would surely have doubts. I think they had already reviewed my exams several times. Believe it or not, those are my scores!"

The other students reflected that Amaranta was right when they heard what she said.

— Think about it, if a bad student suddenly achieved such high grades, the teachers would naturally doubt the results.

The teachers would definitely check the tests again and again until they were convinced that these were the real scores.

Perhaps, the teachers believed that this student had opened his notes while he was taking the exams.

However, even if the student had opened notes on the exam, it would take a lot of skill to do so discreetly.

Furthermore, having notes for these topics was useless.

The difference between her scores had messed with Mariana's head.

"Amaranta, you must have cheated! You cheated!"

"Did I cheat?" Amaranta laughed softly. "So who gave me the answers? Was it you?"

Was it you?

This question was like a slap in Mariana's face.

It wasn't her.

She only scored about 500. She didn't even get to 600.

Could she have given Amaranta her answers?

"Who helped you cheat? How would she know?" Mariana laughed sarcastically. She continued: "Anyway, your cousin is so rich. It's not impossible that he gave you the exams in advance!"

Amaranta snorted. She was surprised by Mariana's reaction.

"Mariana, I think you're pathetic. If you think I cheated, I can retake the exams. But are you willing to bet with me?" Amaranta smiled. Then, he continued, "Even if you dare to bet with me, I don't want to bet with you again. After all, your moral character is too rubbish! You are a painful loser. You keep making excuses because you couldn't accept that you lost!"

"Amaranta, I'm not trying to find excuses. I have reasons to doubt your scores."

Mariana had always been in love with her cousin Amaranta, she had always despised her, her mother had always let her know that Amaranta was a girl without parents who deserved nothing, that she was a girl who had parents and deserved to have everything, so who felt like he should have the world at his feet.

She had a deep-rooted hatred towards her, she didn't like her at all, and now that she had shown that she could be a great student and not that dumb and lazy girl that she had shown herself to be until a few months ago, she is beyond furious.

She felt like destroying it with her own hands right then and there.

The grudges trapped in her heart surfaced.
