The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 617

When it came to Claire, though, the reporters couldn’t help but pry a little deeper.

“Claire, you even competed in the Math Olympiad during your senior year. How did you manage your time so well?”

“Frankly,” Claire replied, “I didn’t manage it that well at all. I just powered through on sheer will.”

The reporter raised an eyebrow. “What kind of willpower is that?”

“Uh… I guess I just wanted to do my part for the national team?” Claire blurted, not even sure herself—she’d made it up on the spot, never expecting the reporter to run with it.

“It sounds like Claire is a real patriot,” the reporter declared, quick to seize the angle.

“So you chose to take the college entrance exam—was it to prove something to yourself?”

“No, not really. I just wanted to switch majors. I didn’t want to study math,” Claire answered, completely candid.

The reporter stared into Claire’s wide, honest eyes, almost dazzled by her sincerity.

How do you even explain this?

It was almost unbelievable—she just didn’t like math! She turned down an automatic admission offer because she wanted to major in something else, and casually aced the toughest exam in the country on her own just to do it.

The reporter remembered her own struggles with those exams—she’d barely survived.

Was this what it was like to live in the world of the truly gifted? Choosing whatever field you wanted, breezing through with effortless confidence?

“Do you have any advice you’d like to share with the students coming up after you?”

Claire smiled. “If studying doesn’t kill you, then study like your life depends on it. The results will speak for themselves. Good luck!”

The reporter let out a nervous chuckle. “Claire really does get straight to the point.”
