Chapter 320 The Lindt Family Scandal
Lillian watched Natalie running toward her and smiled. “Still in such a rush. There’s half an hour left before the exam starts; there’s no way you’d be late p>
Natalie, slightly out of breath, waved a hand. “Don’t even start. Spring’s mom insisted on driving us today. What should’ve been a thirty-minute ride turned into almost an hour and a half. Can you blame me for panicking? Thank God we left early; otherwise, we’d have missed the exam p>
Spring caught up, her expression apologetic. “I’m really sorry. My mom just got her license, so her driving isn’t great yet. She only wanted to drop me off at the exam hall p>

Natalie straightened and shook her head. “Forget it. Let’s just not talk about it p>
At that moment, a woman approached. She was delicate and graceful, wearing a simple white dress with a light yellow cardigan draped over her shoulders; her long, straight hair fell perfectly down her back.
“Natalie, I made you breakfast,” the woman said softly, handing her a lunchbox.
Natalie glanced at the box in her hands, her voice flat. “No need. Give it to Spring.” Without another word, she grabbed Lillian’s hand and led her toward the school.
Spring caught the flicker of hurt on her mother’s face and snatched the lunchbox. “She’s a rich princess, Mom. She can buy whatever she wants; you don’t need to go out of your way to please her.” Then she turned sharply and walked inside.
Her mother stood frozen at the gate, watching her daughter’s retreating figure. A faint, unreadable glint passed through her gentle features.
“Who was that?” Lillian asked curiously.
Natalie’s face tightened with impatience. “That’s Spring’s mom. I don’t know why, but ever since she came to live at our house, my parents have been fighting all the time p>
“My mom wants her gone, but my dad refuses. He keeps saying my mom’s imagining things p>
Lillian frowned slightly. “What about your brother? What does he think?” Given what she knew about Carson, she didn’t believe he was someone easily fooled.
Natalie lowered her head, kicking a loose pebble as she muttered, “He’s talked to my dad, but I don’t know the details. Nothing’s changed, though, she’s still working at our house like before p>
“Did you ask him about it?” Lillian pressed.

Natalie nodded, looking a little deflated. “Yeah, but he told me not to get involved. He said I should just focus on studying and let him handle the rest p>
Understanding flickered in Lillian’s eyes. Clearly, Carson had his own plans. Smiling faintly, she said, “Then stop worrying. Right now, what matters most is the SAT. Focus on your exam and getting into Kingston University; that’s the real priority p>
Natalie’s mood shifted, her expression brightening as she nodded earnestly. “You’re right. I will get into Kingston University. Just think-if we go together, it’ll be amazing p>
The cloud of worry on her face vanished, replaced by a wide smile.
Seeing Natalie’s cheerful grin return, Lillian finally relaxed. “Then here’s to both of us acing this exam p>
“Right, acing it together p>
The two days of SATS passed in a blur.
The moment Lillian stepped out of the testing hall, she finally let out a long breath. No one would have guessed that the hidden power behind Skyreach Group had been nervous about the SAT.
Outside the school gates, the scene was chaotic-some students were elated, others were brimming with confidence, and some were crying their eyes out. Every emotion imaginable was on display.
Not far away, Daylen was surrounded by reporters, being peppered with questions for interviews.
