章 26: She Is More Adorable Than Claire
編集者: Henyee Translations
In the Smiths' mansion, the atmosphere was somber.
Allen Smith was sitting in the living room, throwing a tantrum.
"I never asked her to get a high score in the exam. Why did she go and create such a big scandal? She is simply a disgrace to our family!"
Ada comforted him. "Okay, okay, calm down. You know why we took her back. Let's endure her for some more time. After she marries Hunter Johnson, we'll have nothing to do with her."
Allen snorted coldly. "If it weren't for the sake of Phoebe…"
He didn't continue, but they both knew what he wanted to say.
Ada was also angry when she got to know about this, but then she felt it was good.
It was because of Claire's scandal that Phoebe had the chance to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad competition.
Hotel.
Phoebe was wearing a beautiful dress and had her long hair pulled behind her ears, revealing her pretty face.
Carrying a backpack, she looked cute.
She rang the doorbell.
Soon, the door opened.
Adam stood in the room, and asked in a puzzled tone. "You are…"
Phoebe bowed to him with a sweet smile. "Hello, Professor Cooper, I am a student of Lance Middle School."
Since Claire could build good relations with Professor Cooper, why couldn't she?
She was more adorable than Claire, so Professor Cooper should like her more.
"Well, what can I do for you?" Adam asked her.
Phoebe blinked her pure eyes, her voice soft. "Professor Cooper, I'd like to ask you about a math problem, can I?"
"Sure." Adam turned sideways to let her in. "Come in."
Phoebe walked into the room, smiling triumphantly.
She had thought it would be hard to hook up with Professor Cooper.
But it turned out to be nothing more than a few soft words.
Phoebe put down her school bag and stood aside obediently with her fingers clenching the hem of her dress.
At this time, Adam's cell phone rang.
"Sit down please, I'll answer the phone."
With that, he walked into the bathroom.
Phoebe sat at the desk and saw a few books scattered on the desk. To please Adam, she decided to help clean up the desk so as to impress him.
She picked up a book.
A piece of paper fluttered down at her feet.
She bent down to pick it up and spread it open. Suddenly, her pupils constricted.
There was a very difficult Mathematical Olympiad problem on the paper, and below was the answer written neatly.
Isn't this…
Phoebe's heart flipped twice, and she glanced back at the bathroom. Seeing that Adam hadn't come out yet, she took out her cell phone and took a photo of the paper.

The Smiths' mansion, dinner.
Ada put vegetables into Phoebe's bowl. "Do you need me to accompany you to the Mathematical Olympiad competition in Los Angeles next week?"
Phoebe pouted and said childishly, "No, Mom. I'm not a kid anymore."
Allen said, "Take the test well. Don't be naughty."
Phoebe obediently nodded. "Don't worry, Dad, I'll come back with the trophy."
Ada smiled proudly.
If Phoebe could win this competition, she would be eligible to become a member of the International Mathematical Olympiad Association.
She believed in Phoebe's ability, so she had already begun planning a victory party for her.
Sheldon patted Phoebe's head. "I prepared a gift for you too."
"Really? I love you, Sheldon!"
Phoebe hooked Sheldon's arm and leaned on him, giggling with joy.
"I'm going out next week too."
At this time, an indifferent voice sounded.
The four of them looked at Claire
As if they had just remembered that there was another person on the table.
Ada's face darkened. "Phoebe is going to attend the competition, but what about you?"
"It's a private matter."
Dropping the words, Claire got up. She left the dining table, and went upstairs.
"This darn girl!" Allen threw his chopsticks on the table in anger.
