Karen immediately handed Anthea a napkin, her face filled with concern. "Ann, are you all right?" "I'm fine, I'm fine! Just went down the wrong way," Anthea reassured them as she wiped her mouth with the napkin.
Hearing that Anthea was okay, both of them relaxed.

Anthea looked up with a smile, "Adah, Mrs. Christensen, taking shortcuts isn't the right way! It wouldn't be fair to others who've worked hard for their SATS. Don't worry, with my smarts, I'll definitely get into Harvard on my own merit!" Karen beamed at Anthea. She couldn't be prouder. Her granddaughter-in-law was simply the best. She had the option to take the easy path but chose to rely on her abilities! How many people in this world would do that like her granddaughter-in-law? Truly, she thought, Anthea was the world's best granddaughter-in-law.
"Exactly, Ann! With your intelligence and awesomeness, you'll definitely get into Harvard!" Adah added, "Annie! I believe in you too!" Meanwhile, in Capital City.
Though Darleen had been in a car accident before, she had recovered well over tand was now back to normal. With the SATS approaching, Darleen was more determined than ever! Even though her grades were already top-notch, she couldn't afford to slack off.
In the circles of the wealthy, few heiresses actually had stellar grades; most got into prestigious colleges through hefty donations! She was determined to stand out with her scores, to make everyone take notice and to make her mother, Edna, incredibly proud! Edna brought Darleen ssnacks, "Darleen, have something to eat before you hit the books again." "Thanks, Mom." Edna watched Darleen with satisfaction. Her daughter had always been exceptional, mastering the arts and academics alike. She never had to worry about Darleen, who would spend her free tenrolling in various classes.
"Darleen, how do you think you'll do on the SATS?" Darleen responded, "Better than Gerard, getting into an Ivy League should be no problem." "Really?" Edna asked, surprised and delighted.
Darleen nodded. Gerard's grades were decent but not top-tier. Darleen, on the other hand, had been consistently among the top three in her class. Gerard? Not even close to her level.
Edna knew her daughter well. She knew Darleen never boasted without reason; if she believed she could outperform Gerard, then she must be ninety percent sure of it. What could Gerard amount to? Born to a less distinguished family, he might grow up amidst wealth but would never have the pedigree or bloodline to compare with Darleen! Soon, Jwould have to acknowledge that only the child of her and Jonah could be the rightful heir to the Lindsay family. Everyone else was just inferior by birth! Edna squinted, then said, "Well, Darleen, you get back to studying. I won't disturb you."

Upon entering, she could hear Janet's laughter.
Edna frowned slightly, wondering who else could make Jso joyful. In the living room, she found Gerard chatting with Janet. Since that incident, their bond seemed to have grown stronger.
Edna squinted her eyes. "Janet." "Edna's here," Jgreeted with a smile.
Edna then greeted Gerard, "Gerry."
Gerard ignored Edna, turning back to Janet, "Grandma, I've got a basketball gwith sclassmates. I'll head out now. Basketball? Edna's eyes flashed with sarcasm. Ashburn X
