Chapter 259 Who Takes the Crown 

An hour slipped by silently, and, almost in sync, they all put down their pens. 

They finished right on time, not a second over. 

Now, it was time to score their work. Jordan was the only one on deck who could reliably mark the answers instantly, so Lucius sent her test to Jordan for a look- 

over. 

To keep things balanced, Milly and Xavier had their tests scored by Lucius, which seemed the most impartial method. 

The living room dropped into an even more profound quiet than during the exam, as everyone kept silent to preserve the serious mood. 

The older men, in particular, looked on edge, closely watching Jordan and Lucius’s every move, anxiously waiting for the outcome, knowing it would decide who would end up shining someone else’s shoes. 

On the other hand, Milly seemed totally at ease, even taking a moment to mess. around with Apollo after loosening her wrist, showing zero worry about the 

outcome. 

Or maybe she was just that confident. 

Although he couldn’t show outright bias towards Milly, Jordan, already known for his sister complex, paid extra attention to Lucius’s test, ensuring he didn’t miss a single mistake. 

Lucius was just as focused, glaring at Milly’s paper without a blink, worried he might miss any slip–ups. 

When he reached the end, his face suddenly went blank, a flicker of emotion passing through his otherwise serene eyes, gradually intensifying 

Thomas was the first to pick up on the shift in his mood, asking with curiosity, “What’s up? Too many mistakes?” 

Lucius’s response was a silent one, with his lips sealed. 

His grip on the test paper tightened until his fingertips blanched, his voice coming

“I lost.”

“What?!” Thomas shot back in disbelief, “How can that be? Your paper’s not even been fully checked yet, has it?” 

Lucius’s eyes sharpened again, clear as day. He took his time to answer, his gaze wandering to a figure not too far off. 

There she was, completely at ease, casually playing some silly hand–slapping game with another lad on the couch. Despite the simplicity of their game, they were themselves. 

The cosy living room light cast a glow on her face, her lengthy hair pulled back to show off her smooth, delicate skin, and a soft smile played on her lips. Her eyes bowed like the bright moon shining outside, and if you looked close enough, a tiny dimple was just visible at the corner of her mouth. 

Dimples are unique facial characteristics resulting from variations in the cheek. muscles, essentially a distinct facial feature. Lucius was never one to find beauty in flaws or enjoy coming second to anyone. 

This is precisely why Lucius aimed to reclaim his top position once he discovered he was second. 

However, his views began to change when he saw the girl with dimples. Suddenly, he thought getting to know her better might not be a bad idea. 

But then, seeing another boy holding her hand triggered a cold feeling within him, as if he was losing something precious. 

Lucius looked away, returning the pen to its holder, accidentally marking the paper with a deep line a bold streak across the exam sheet that seemed almost aggressive in its neatness. 

“I’ve lost. Her way of tackling problems and her cognitive skills clearly outmatch 

mine.” 

Thomas was visibly shocked, and the idea of polishing shoes made his old hands quiver. “Lucius, do you want to try again? Grandpa here is old and can barely take the suspense.” 

The atmosphere was mixed; some were thrilled, and others were nervous, a contrast between tension and sheer joy.

On the other hand, Philip was overjoyed, wishing he had the space to display his military boxing prowess. “Ahahaha, amazing work, Thomas, Doug, and Frank! You guys will be shining my shoes for a month!”
