The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 218

Claire locked eyes with Carr. “Don’t tell me you only got your spot here by cheating. Otherwise, how could you not even follow the solution in front of you?”

Her words hit their mark. Carr let out a cold snort. “Fine, show me. I bet you didn’t really solve it.”

But as Carr looked over her work, something clicked in his mind. The logic just made sense. It felt like a lightbulb went off over his head.

So that’s how you do it.

He didn’t want to admit it, but Claire’s approach was spot on. Even without double-checking, he knew she had nailed it. Still, there was no way he could openly admit he’d lost to a girl.

His grip on the test paper tightened until his knuckles turned white. The sheet looked like it might tear any second.

The kids who’d been sitting with Carr were dying to see Claire’s answer.

“Come on, Carr, did Claire really get it right? Let us have a look.”

Everyone crowded around. Someone reached out—nobody could tell who started it—and tried to tug the test from Carr’s hands.

Carr wouldn’t let go. The paper ripped in two with a loud tear.

He snapped. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

The person who’d grabbed for the paper flinched and quickly apologized. “Sorry, I thought you were going to hand it over.”

“This is my test! Why would I just give it away?” Carr’s neck was so tense the veins stood out.

Norris watched, more disappointed than ever. First Carr bullied a girl, then spread nasty rumors about her, and now he was throwing a fit just because someone else solved a question he couldn’t.

If he couldn’t even control his emotions here, how could he handle the pressure of an international competition? He was just asking for trouble.

Norris cleared his throat. “I’ve already seen Claire’s answer. She’s correct.”
