Lily couldn’t help but feel uneasy under Nina’s gaze.

She instinctively took a step back, putting some space between them, and only then did she finally dare to meet Nina’s gaze head-on.
It felt better to look Nina in the eye on equal footing.
She hated having to look up at Nina. It always made her feel like she was beneath Nina.
Lily took a deep breath and gave a light laugh. “Nina, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean anything else. Aunt Linda mentioned it, and it made me realize that you haven’t even graduated high school yet, right?
“You’re the CEO of SN Corporation, after all. Even though the company’s doing fine now, as the boss, you really need some proper education.
“Otherwise, how are you supposed to lead SN to greater heights? Let’s face it, people still judge you by your diploma these days.”
Nina let out a light, almost mocking laugh, her smile dazzling. “A diploma?”
Just then, Anna came downstairs carrying a black bag and handed it to Nina.
Nina opened the bag and pulled out a stack of certificates, laying them out one by one in front of Lily. “Are you talking about this double Ph.D. diploma from Betrico University? Or maybe the Grade 10 Piano Certificate?
“Or perhaps the medical license? The Distinguished Professor title from the research institute? The lawyer’s license?”
Nina laid out the certificates one by one in front of Lily, her gaze unwavering. “So, are these credentials enough for you?”
Lily stared at the dazzling, gold-embossed certificates laid out in front of her, completely floored. For a long moment, she just stood there, frozen, unable to wrap her head around what she was seeing.
After what felt like an eternity, Lily finally managed to stammer out, her voice shaking, “H-How… How do you even have all these?”
‘What the hell? How did Nina end up with so many certificates?’ Lily thought. ‘For most people her age, having just one certificate would already be impressive, but Nina had a whole pile.
“The craziest thing is, Nina’s double Ph.D. diploma from Betrico University is actually legit. How is this even possible? Seriously, how did Nina pull all this off?’
Vivian was left completely dumbfounded as she stared at the pile of certificates.
She never would’ve imagined that Nina, barely in her early twenties, could have racked up so many certificates.

And these weren’t just any certificates. They were the kind that were notoriously hard to earn.
‘Wasn’t this brat raised in a nightclub?’ Vivian thought, ‘How the hell did she end up this amazing?’
Vivian had always considered Nina an embarrassment, while Lily was her pride and joy.
And now, Nina had just trampled all over her pride, crushing it under her heel.
Vivian’s face burned with humiliation, as if she’d just been slapped hard across the face.
Linda, Luna, and Sarah were all totally stunned by the mountain of certificates Nina had just dropped on the table.
They knew Nina was talented, but they had no idea she was this amazing.
She was still so young, and yet she’d already racked up so many certificates.
Seriously, Nina was just full of surprises.
Nina was clearly pleased with the looks on Vivian and Lily’s faces. She curled her lips into a smirk. “Mrs. Swanson, surprised?
“The daughter you threw away, the one you always looked down on and left to grow up in a nightclub, is now making waves in every field. And the daughter you’ve always cherished and pampered? She’s still just nobody.”
“I…” Vivian tried to speak, but her voice was so hoarse that it barely sounded like her. She wanted to say something, but the words just wouldn’t come.
She could even see the way Nina’s eyes sparkled with mockery.
Vivian could feel Nina was laughing at her, at how the daughter she’d devoted everything to raising couldn’t even hold a candle to her.
Vivian was left speechless, while Lily stared at the stack of certificates, each one feeling like a slap in the face.
Nina hooked a finger under Lily’s chin, her voice indifferent. “So, you think just getting accepted to Betrico University makes you hot stuff? Try showing off when you can actually stand on my level. But you’d better hurry. I don’t think you’ve got much time.”
Lily bit her lip, forcing out a smile uglier than crying. “Turns out you’re really that impressive, Nina. Looks like I don’t need to worry about your education anymore. I’m exhausted, I’ll go upstairs and rest now.”
Lily shot upstairs like she was running for her life, not daring to look back.
Vivian opened her mouth, but in the end, all she could say was, “Do you really think flashing all these certificates is going to change how I see you?
“Let me tell you, it won’t. It never will. I just don’t like you, Nina. If you want to blame someone, blame fate for putting you in the wrong family.”
With that, Vivian stormed upstairs. She had to get out of there before she snapped. If she stuck around any
