“Never thought Mr. Robinett, who’s famous for keeping women at arm’s length, would actually have someone he likes.
“But can you really handle not touching her?
“Does she even know you’re sick?”
“My situation isn’t your concern.”
Wesley folded his arms, his gaze sharp and cutting.
“If I remember right, you have a sister you dote on. Right, Mr. Bennett?
“You two are practically attached at the hip.
“But she’s not your blood sister. I doubt anyone would be completely fine with that.
“As for who ends up with Larissa…
“That depends on who’s capable. But Mr. Bennett, you should worry about keeping your business afloat first. Don’t let me crush you so hard you can’t even think about chasing girls.”
The two were still locked in a tense standoff when Lucas’s phone suddenly rang.
“Mr. Bennett, Ms. Bennett isn’t feeling well. Do you want to come back and check on her?”
“You’re useless. If she’s unwell, call the doctor traveling with us. Why are you calling me?”
He picked up the call, and his expression immediately darkened.
Wesley let out a faint, mocking laugh. “Well, I didn’t expect Mr. Bennett to bring your precious sister along on a business trip. You really can’t stand being apart from her for even a second, can you?
“I wonder whether your future girlfriend would mind that.
“Since you care so much, you should hurry back and check on her.
“Honestly, with your situation, Mr. Bennett, it’d be smarter not to pursue other women at all.”
“I’ve got something to handle. We’ll settle this later.” Lucas’s face was tight with anger as he stood abruptly and left the restaurant with his people.
Wesley watched his retreating back and gave a cold snort.
Someone like that wasn’t even qualified to be his rival.
That night, Larissa slept like a baby.
Early the next morning, she went with Herbert and the others to the exam venue to check the results.

Chapter 246 Don’t Celebrate Too Early
A large crowd had gathered, all waiting for the scores to be posted.
Among them was the same group of Yucriesalians who had made the bet yesterday.
She stood quietly with Herbert and the others in the crowd, waiting.
+5 Pearls
At that moment, the Yucriesalians walked over, smug smiles on their faces as if victory were already guaranteed.
“Oh, you’re still here. I thought you’d already run off with your tails between your legs.
“What’s this?
“You’re actually waiting here for a miracle?
“You seriously think you can make the top 50? Keep dreaming,” one of the Yucriesalians sneered.
“You’re just humiliating yourselves. If I were you, I would’ve left already out of embarrassment.”
“Exactly. You Smeanans just don’t measure up.”
“You might as well admit it now and apologize properly. Otherwise, when the results come out, you’ll only feel worse,” another Yucriesalian student mocked.
“This exam was insanely hard. With how clueless these Smeanans are, they’ll be lucky to score a few dozen points. They won’t even make the top 200, let alone the top 50.
“Staying here just means you want everyone to keep laughing at you.” one of the Yucriesal team’s chaperone teachers joined in with a mocking laugh.
Hearing all that, anger surged inside Larissa.
Herbert glared at the Yucriesalians and said to them.
“Don’t celebrate too early. The results aren’t out yet. No one knows who’s won or lost. When the time comes, you’d better be ready to honor the bet.”
“Hmph. Just wait and see. You really think you can win?”
The Yucriesalians said dismissively.
“You Smeanans always refuse to admit defeat until the very end.
“With your IQ, getting into the top 100 would already be pure luck.”
