Fake Daughter Is The Real Legend (Iris Sutton) novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Manipulation

Meanwhile, Colin happily shared the news in a group chat.

The president of A University could hardly believe his luck.

Compared to Capital University, they weren’t particularly competitive.

Yet somehow a simple exchange program had attracted the nation’s top scorer.

And then Colin added another message:

[We already know Iris personally. There’s a very high chance she’ll choose us.]

The president became even more excited.

Unable to resist, he immediately sent a message to the president of Capital University to boast.

The reaction was immediate.

When the president of Capital University saw the message, he nearly jumped out of his chair.

How was the chicken that had already flown into his mouth suddenly escaping?

At that moment, he was in a meeting with several professors.

Among them was Professor Joe from one of the university’s laboratories.

Everyone watched as the president’s expression visibly darkened after reading the message.

“What happened?” someone asked.

The president sighed dramatically and looked toward Professor Joe.

“The national top scorer was planning to enroll at Capital University. Then an exchange program showed up out of nowhere. Now it looks like she might choose A University instead.”

No one had expected a rival to appear at the last minute.

The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became heavy.

Professor Joe had a good relationship with the president.

He offered a few words of comfort.

“She’s only one student. Missing out on a top scorer for one year isn’t the end of the world.”

Then he leaned forward.

“By the way, what did you think about that proposal I mentioned last time?”

“What do you mean, what do I think?”

President Wade had just suffered a major emotional blow. His brain wasn’t functioning at full capacity

Professor Joe frowned.

“I’m talking about Miss Zero–the young woman who’s been helping our lab. She took the coller trance, exam this year too.”

“I think bringing her to Capital University is far more important than recruiting some top scorer

“Miss Zero?”

The name sounded familiar.

President Wade thought for a moment before finally remembering.

The girl who had single–handedly solved one of the laboratory’s biggest technical problems.

The same girl who had embarrassed him quite thoroughly in the process.

Still…

She was undeniably talented.

“She wants to attend Capital University?”

“We don’t know what her exam score is yet.” Professor Joe pushed up his glasses. “My thought was that we should prepare a special admissions offer first and then approach her. It would show sincerity.”

“With a mind like hers, her grades can’t possibly be bad.”

President Wade was busy thinking of ways to reclaim the top scorer who was slipping away from Capital University’s grasp.

Without much thought, he waved a hand.

“Fine. Go ahead.”

The meeting was effectively ruined anyway. He dismissed everyone early and personally called Iris.

“Hello?” A man’s voice answered.

President Wade froze.

Why was a man answering her phone?

The voice sounded oddly familiar too.

Maybe it was her boyfriend.

His thoughts immediately shifted.

If her boyfriend’s grades were good enough, perhaps they could create a special admission arrangement and bring both of them to Capital University….

“President Wade, what can I do for you?”

The title hit him like a truck.

President Wade instantly remembered why the voice sounded familiar.

It was Ares Barclay.

Had he dialed the wrong number?

He hurriedly checked.

No.

This was definitely Iris’s phone number.

“M–Miss Noir…”

The voice on the other end remained calm and quiet.

Yet President Wade felt an inexplicable pressure.

“She’s asleep.”

“If there’s something important, you can tell me.”

“Oh. Right. Of course.”

President Wade suddenly found himself tongue–ticed.

The carefully prepared speech he had rehearsed disappeared from his mind.

Ares Barclay knew Iris?

And apparently not casually.

That made her even more valuable as a recruit.

Just as he was considering calling back later, Ares spoke again.

“If this is about university admissions, she hasn’t made a final decision yet. There’s no need to rush.”

“Understood.” President Wade nodded instinctively despite being on the phone. “Then I’ll call again lat

He ended the call immediately.

It took him quite a while to recover.

Meanwhile, Professor Joe left the meeting room in excellent spirits. He had never cared much about the top scorer. What excited him was the approval for the special admissions proposal.

Now he could finally recruit Miss Zero.

No sooner had President Wade hung up than Professor Joe dialed Iris’s number himself.

Ares glanced at the screen.

The number wasn’t saved in Iris’s contacts.
