Fake heiress Real heroine

Chapter 154 88% 58 Chapter 154 Calvin was dressed in a shirt, vest, and bow tie-he looked sharp, like someone who really paid attention to detail. The stylist was working on his hair, but Calvin was too absorbed in his book to notice.

Quinlyn recognized it right away-it was a foreign classic, the Mordorian version. She'd read it before.

As Calvin flipped through the pages, he made notes in the margins with his pen, which made the stylist stop and stare in amazement "Such beautiful handwriting! I can't believe you understand these tough Mordorian words!" the stylist said, wide- eyed.

Calvin glanced up and gave a small, polite smile. "It's really kind of you to say," he replied, his voice soft and humble.

He carried himself so gracefully that even the stylist blushed a little. She quickly turned her attention back to Calvin's parents.

"Your son is incredible. How did you raise him? Does he take tutoring classes?” the stylist asked.

"He's never taken any classes. He just reads books on his own. We didn't really teach him anything," Calvin's mother, Laura Meyers, said with a casual wave of her hand. Though her words were modest, it was clear from her expression that she was proud.

"Yeah, it's all in the genes, Calvin's father, Brent Meyers, added in a humble tone. "His teachers aren't even as smart as he is. We're here for the grand prize today-we could really use a new fridge at home." The stylist caught on quickly-they didn't actually need a fridge, but what they really wanted was the win. And honestly, with so many kids around, none of them stood a chance against this little guy.

Niklaus wasn't about to let Quinlyn sit off to the side like everyone else. He led her to another table and asked the stylist to do her makeup.

"Wow, Niklaus, is this the lead actress in your new movie? She's got such a unique look, and her vibe is amazing. Don't worry, I'll make her look perfect, the stylist said, trying to butter him up after finishing Calvin's makeup quickly.

The stylist noticed that Quinlyn wasn't paying much attention, and Quinlyn was just playing a gon her phone, so the stylist couldn't help but shake her head in disbelief in her mind.

If you want to promote a movie lead, you should let her walk the red carpet. Coming to a show like this makes her look out of place. She'll be labeled illiterate before the movie even comes out. It'll be awkward, the stylist thought.

Niklaus was fully aware of the consequences. He'd been on edge ever since walking into the room-way more nervous than Quinlyn, the contestant.

Seeing Calvin so focused on his book, he couldn't resist offering, "How about I get you a book to read?" At that, Quinlyn shook her head and pulled Niklaus into the gwith her instead. It was a new gfrom Stanley's company, and it was still in the testing phase. The levels looked easy, but they were surprisingly hard.

At first, Niklaus wanted to remind her not to get too distracted, but a few minutes later, he was just as hooked, battling monsters on the screen.

When Quinlyn's nwas called, she looked back and saw that Niklaus was still playing. Not wanting to interrupt, she just walked straight into the site for the preliminary round.

Inside the small room, three judges sat on one side, while a big screen showed the competition. There were ten contestants in total 1/3 11:28 Thu, 27 Mar A.

Chapter 154 88% +58 The first round was a fast-paced multiple-choice quiz. The second round was multiple-choice questions. The third round was fill-in-the-blank. It was an elimination-style competition, which usually took about half an hour. But just 15 minutes later, Quinlyn walked out. She headed back to the makeup room and pulled out her phone. "Back so soon? Did you make it through?" Niklaus asked. He had noticed she was missing, and after asking the stylist, he learned she was already in. He hadn't even finished a round of his gyet, and she was already back.

"Mm." Quinlyn nodded, continuing to play her game.

Seeing how calm she was, Niklaus assumed the questions weren't too tough, so he wasn't really worried.

On the other side, Calvin's parents were starting to get anxious. They had seen Calvin and Quinlyn go in for the test together, but now Quinlyn had passed, and Calvin was nowhere to be found. This had never happened before.

"I'll go check." Laura stood up.

"I'll cwith you." Brent followed her.

The two of them got up and walked out, only to find the hallway filled with students crying loudly.

"The questions were way too hard. I've never seen anything like that." "Those questions were way over our heads. Totally unfair." These students were all top-tier contestants, selected from schools acros the country. They excelled in their academics, even participating in math Olympiads and being called geniuses. But now, after just one round of eliminations, they were all falling apart.

A few minutes later, Calvin appeared in the second room.

"Calvin, how did it go? Did you make it through?” Laura asked.

Calvin, who was pulled into the conversation by his parents, saw how nervous they were, so he didn't try to hide it. He just nodded and said, "I passed. The questions were tough, so it took a little longer, but it's fine." Normally, Brent and Laura should've been happy, but as they thought about the little girl in the other room, a strong sense of unease started to build in their hearts.

"Calvin, during the official competition, you need to pay extra attention to one person..." Laura warned.

***** The official competition was being held in a huge tent, surrounded by machines, with a hundred spectators in the audience. According to the rankings from the preliminaries, Quinlyn was the first to compete.

"Calvin, Calvin, we love you!" "Calvin, you're the best!" The cheers from outside were deafening, but when the crowd finally saw a small, unfamiliar figure walk out, the cheering died down for a second. The audience looked completely shocked.

"Wait. Did they make a mistake? Who's this kid? Is she better than Calvin?" someone asked.

As people murmured in confusion, the host took the opportunity to introduce Quinlyn. The crowd grew louder.

What? A lead actress in a movie? Who cares? We're here to see something special and watch the next generation of geniuses, not srandom show, they thought.

11:28 Thu, 27 Mar Chapter 154 "Get off the stage. We want to see Calvin!" "Yeah, get lost!" Seeing Quinlyn's appearance stir up such anger, the host seemed taken aback. He looked at Niklaus for guidance.

Niklaus was equally confused. 'Has Calvin's fan base gotten this intense already?' he thought.

In fact, this was all thanks to Brent and Laura's careful planning. Ever since they they qued Calvin's talent, eir jobs to focus entirely on getting him famous, putting him on shows, and quickly building up a fanbase. With their incitement, Calvin's fans learned that there was a strong opponent today, possibly with sbacking.

With all the hype around it, Quinlyn's appearance had the fans immediately causing a scene.

11 58 Before the fans could even shout again, the door to the stuwas violently kicked open, and a big group of people stormed in.

Devin, who was wearing sunglasses, walked in behind Joseph, Larry, and Stanley, and he looked like a total lackey. He turned to the crowd and shouted, "What are you yelling for? Say one more word, and I'll have you all thrown out." "Still staring? The TV station's owned by my uncle, so bear with it. Clear the room!" With a snap of his fingers, the security staff rushed in to start pushing those fans out.

Those fans, who had been shouting just moments ago, were now stunned, standing up ready to fight. But before they could even make a move, they were hit by a baton.

"You actually hit us? We're suing you! Just because your uncle owns the station, you think you're untouchable? We've got everything on camera!" a fan shouted.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Larry casually leaned back in his chair in the first row tumed with a smirk, and said, "Ladies, when you were cursing and getting violent with Quinlyn earlier, I didn't hear any talk about the law. "But go ahead. Sue us. I've got plenty of lawyers. Let's see what the judge trusts more-your ugly insults and violence against a kid, or our reasonable resistance to your aggression." Larry was just as cocky as Devin, maybe even worse. He had a rough, intimidating vibe, and it was clear that he wasn't someone people would want to mess with.
