From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

Chapter 22

Jordan’s eyes seemed to see through her.

Debra’s breath hitched.

She indeed intentionally wrote the wrong answer to the last question. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

But she had calculated other questions beforehand to ensure her score exceeded the graduate pass line.

After all, in the eyes of others, she had never received any financial education. If she suddenly produced remarkable results, it would surely cause controversy, and Juan would become suspicious

She wondered how Jordan found out.

“You peeked at my paper?” Debra said sternly. “It’s forbidden to peek around in the exam room. It’s cheating.”

Jordan found it amusing. He leaned closer to Debra and lowered his voice. “What I submitted was a blank sheet.”

Unfazed, Debra looked up and said, “So, you don’t know the answer to any of the questions?”

Jordan furrowed his brows.

“If so, how can you say I deliberately answered the final question wrong?” Debra said

Before Jordan could speak, Debra added, “Dude, I admit your approach to chatting up is unique, but I’m not interested in people with poor academic performance. See you.”

Debra slipped out from between Jordan’s arms.

Jordan couldn’t help but laugh at this maneuver.

‘Chatting up to her? Poor grades?

The bodyguard outside said, “Sir, your brother wants you to go home after the exam.”

Jordan whistled.

Initially, he had no interest in coming to Arcane Academy.

But now, it seemed somewhat intriguing.

“Tell my brother I want to enroll in Arcane Academy.”

The bodyguard was taken aback, almost thinking he had misheard.

When they left home earlier, Jordan adamantly refused to come to Arcane Academy.

Debra arrived home in the evening and found that the lights in the living room were on.

Melody sat on the sofa with a serious expression, and beside her was Juan, reading the newspaper.

“Grandma, why are you here at this hour? You didn’t even tell me in advance, so I could have Sophie prepare,” Debra said with a smile.

“If I didn’t come, I don’t know what would become of this household.”

Debra glanced at Juan.

His expression was cold.

“You went to take the exam at Arcane Academy. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Grandma, going to the exam was my own decision. I want to expand my knowledge and experience” Melody slammed the table, raising her voice. “You’re the hostess of the Nichols family and Juan’s wife. After marriage, you still go to take exams. What kind of image does that present? I’ve told you before. The Nichols family will take care of you. Your actions have affected our reputation.”

Debra fell silent.

In her last life, before marrying Juan, she had indeed promised Melody to be just a housewife.

Melody’s traditional views were deeply ingrained, and to win Melody’s favor, Debra had given up her academic career of studying abroad.

But now she didn’t want to go down that path anymore.

“Grandma, Debra just went to take the exam for fun. There’s no need for you to be angry.”

Juan took a sip of coffee.

Anyway, he never believed Debra could pass.

Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from the school office.
