Translator: 549690339
They didn’t know that the crushing victory in the PK match was arranged by their mothers.
With a rigid face, Richelle, Timmy, Timothy, and Tifanny stepped up to the podium.
The principal gave them a total of ten questions.
Timmy and Timothy got all ten questions right, with a perfect score.
As for Hizkia and Anderson, one got one point, and the other got two points, being left far behind by the brothers.
However, this result was actually normal in the eyes of their classmates and teachers.
It’s just that Hizkia and Anderson, losing so badly, couldn’t help but hang their heads and search for comfort from their parents.
Mrs. Kingston and Mrs. Kirby, how could they bear to watch their children suffer?
When it was their turn to compete against Richelle, the principal asked them about their preferred subjects, saying each person had the right to choose five questions.
These two chose their areas of expertise, while Richelle said casually in response to the principal’s question.
“I’m fine with anything, just follow the subjects selected by the other two parents.”
Mrs. Kingston was confident, considering she was a doctor in biology.
“Timmy’s mom, biology is my strong suit, so you should pick one too. That way, it’s fair. Otherwise, people will think I’m bullying you.”
Mrs. Kirby also expressed her confidence, “That’s right, mathematics is my strength too, Mrs. Lewis. You should choose one subject as well. Though we’re sure we will win, we don’t want our victory to be seen as unworthy.”
Richelle laughed, “Since both of you are experts, it would be a dead end for me to choose subjects anyway. I might as well give up and let destiny decide. Maybe the heavens will pity me and create a miracle for me!”
Mrs. Kingston and Mrs. Kirby showed smug smiles on their faces.
The principal knew the background of the parents, and at this point, he couldn’t help but worry for Richelle.
He confirmed Richelle’s opinion once more before discussing the questions with other teachers.
The parents present started to discuss among themselves.
“Mrs. Kingston and Mrs. Kirby are both quite impressive in their fields. They both seem to be high achievers who graduated from Abbey University. Mrs. Lewis is most likely to lose this time.”
“I think it might not be so. Mrs. Lewis is a very talented architect. Her first design defeated many experts and won the grand prize.”
“That’s right, I also saw that news, but why is she so silly? Can’t she just ask the examiner to give five questions about architectural design? That would be fair!”
Many parents present secretly worried about Richelle.
Then, amidst the sympathetic chatter, Mrs. Kingston and Mrs. Kirby proudly picked up their answer sheets.
There were a total of ten questions: five in biology and five in mathematics.
When the first question came out, Mrs. Kingston wrote it down quickly after a brief thought, while Mrs. Kirby hesitated a bit before putting down her pen.
As for Richelle, she didn’t even think; she just wrote her answer directly on the answer sheet.
The same thing happened with the next four biology questions for all three of them.
When they got to the sixth question, which was a mathematics question,
now Mrs. Kirby answered quickly after some thought, Mrs. Kingston hesitated but still wrote her answer.
Only Richelle continued to write her answers directly on the answer sheet as if she didn’t need to think about it.
There are usually two situations in which people like Richelle answer directly without thinking.
One is, they know the answer, so they’re quick.
The other is, they don’t have a clue, so they guess, and it’s also fast.
Seeing Richelle like this, most parents present thought she was the latter.
Only Timmy, Timothy, and Tifanny remained unfazed, eating, drinking, and playing as usual.
As for Richelle, she remained calm and collected from the beginning to the end.
She didn’t show any signs of joy, smugness, or inferiority.
After the tenth question, a teacher collected their answer sheets, sorted them into three areas, and posted them side by side on the blackboard.
As soon as the answers were posted, there was silence in the hall, and then people began whispering among themselves.
“No way, it looks like Mrs. Lewis got all the biology questions right. Mrs. Kingston’s answers seem to be incomplete, probably only three points, and Mrs. Kirby seems to have got them all wrong!”
“In mathematics, it seems Mrs. Lewis got them all right, too. Mrs. Kirby managed to get four questions right, but not as good as Mrs. Lewis. Mrs. Kingston seems to have got only one question right!”
“So, it means Mrs. Lewis got a perfect score of ten while the other two got only four points each?”
After discussing with each other for a while, the parents present gradually understood why the three children had always been at the top of their class in such an elite class.
Because their mother, Richelle, was also an unattainable presence among these parents.
Soon, the principal and the teachers on stage graded the answers and confirmed the scores.
Richelle scored a perfect ten with textbook-like answers.
Mrs. Kingston and Mrs. Kirby both scored four points.
Staring at the answers on the blackboard in disbelief, Mrs. Kingston and Mrs. Kirby couldn’t believe their eyes.
Their once prized professional achievements were instantly crushed by Richelle, a layman in their fields.
This Richelle wasn’t even a college graduate, right?
It was said that she hadn’t even attended her graduation thesis defense, and had only recently been awarded her diploma.
How could such an ordinary woman possibly come up with those answers?
“Alright, now I announce that the winners in the children’s division are Timmy Lewis and Timothy Dunn.”
“As for the parents’ division, Mrs. Lewis is the winner.”
Applause erupted from the audience..
