Chapter 160
Summer didn’t just withhold Aiden’s phone. She actually took a step back,
defiance etched on her face. “Give me back my study notes, or you can kiss your
phone goodbye.”
Aiden stared at her, his expression a mix of confusion and disbelief. “Study
notes? I'm an eighth—grader. Why on earth would I want your notes? Are you
kidding me?”
With a scoff, Summer shot back, “Play dumb all you want, Aiden. Who else would
swipe my competition prep if not you? Remember how you suddenly turned all
saintly at the Education Association and offered to walk me out? Was it then that
you hatched this little plot?”
“Accusations without evidence? That's low, even for you,” Aiden sneered, clearly
irritated. “I told you, I didn’t take anything. And since you're so high and mighty,
why would you even need those notes?” He added impatiently, “Now give me
back my phone.”
As he advanced to reclaim his device, Summer, livid, hurled the phone towards
the doorway with all her might. It shattered into pieces upon impact.
Aiden’s face went ashen, his fists clenched in a brief moment of rage, but he
managed to rein in the urge to strike back. With a venomous tone, he spat out a
single word, “Scram.”
Summer's confidence faltered under Aiden’s intimidating glare. She bit her lip
and demanded one last time, “Where are my notes?!”
He watched her coldly, then unexpectedly, his lips curled into a mocking smile.
“You want to know where your precious notes are? Apologize to me, and admit
you were planning to cheat in the competition.”
At his words, Summer huffed, “I knew it was you.”
Shrugging nonchalantly, Aiden’s rebellious smirk returned.
Taking a deep breath, Summer faced him, her pride unshaken as she declared,
“You just want to see me humiliated, don’t you? Well, I'll never give you the
satisfaction!”
With that, she strode toward the door. Pausing at the door, she tossed a scornful
look over her shoulder. “Even without my notes, I'll excel.”
“We'll see about that,” Aiden retorted dryly. His gaze then fell on the remnants of
his phone, and his expression soured once more.
“Women,” he thought bitterly, “are truly an infuriating species.”
The next day, the competition was still set at the local Education Center.
Shawn and Delilah took a break from sprucing up their new villa, and decided to
accompany their daughter, just like they had for the previous round.
Before leaving, Delilah opened the storage cabinet to grab some things and
noticed an

After watching Mirabella enter the examination hall, Delilah and Shawn planned
to wait at a nearby café. However, they'd barely taken a few steps when
someone blocked their path.
