Russ handed the bouquet to Larissa with a warm smile. “Larissa, congratulations. You’re the pride of our family now. These are for you.”
Larissa accepted the flowers and gently hugged her brother. “Thanks, Russ,” she said softly.
Across both her past life and this one, it was the first time anyone had ever given her flowers.
They smelled sweet and fresh, and she liked them instantly.
For the first time, she truly felt that she had a family–people who cared about her and stood by her.
With that warmth in her heart, the old sense of regret she once carried quietly faded away.
Reporters captured the entire moment. The footage was uploaded online almost at once.
Within minutes, Larissa’s name appeared in the headlines again.
The internet quickly filled with comments.
[The genius who brought honor to the country! Larissa is incredible!]
[She’s so beautiful. From today on, she’s officially my idol.]
[Mine too. I’m going to work even harder in school because of her.]
[Who would have guessed that Smeana would produce such an amazing dark horse this year?]
[The Turners must be out of their minds. They forced such a brilliant student out of their family. I wonder if they regret it now.]
In just a few minutes, thousands of comments poured in. The post was shared again and again across every platform.
Soon, the phrase “Genius Girl Larissa” climbed straight to the top of the trending lists.
When Wesley saw the news, a faint smile touched his lips.
In the video, Larissa stood confidently under the lights. She looked calm, bright, and full of life, as it’ intelligence itself shone from her.
He took out his phone and sent her a message.
“You looked beautiful today. You were practically glowing. Let’s have dinner together sometime:
Watching her stand beside her family, he could see how happy she looked.

Chapter 266 Lucky Star
Meanwhile, Morris was struggling to figure out how to save the company. The business was already hanging by a thread.
For years after adopting Larissa, everything had gone smoothly. But only a few months after she left, Turner Group was already sliding toward bankruptcy.
Larissa had always been his lucky star.
Yet because of blood ties, he had trusted Julia and treated Larissa unfairly. In the end, it was that blind favoritism that pushed Larissa away.
Just then, a news alert popped up on his phone. “Genius Student Larissa Sowle Wins First Place in the Global Academic Competition! She’s Bringing Honor to the Nation!”
“Smeana’s Dark Horse–A Secretly Trained Academic Prodigy?”
Attached below the headline was a video from the ceremony.
In the video, Larissa accepted the flowers with a bright and genuine smile. She looked truly happy.
Morris stared at the screen, stunned.
Was Larissa this outstanding? How could that be possible?
Hadn’t she only finished elementary school?
She had never even attended middle school. How did she suddenly become a top student?
Weren’t her grades always terrible?
How had she turned into the dark horse who brought honor to the country?
Because of this news, Sowles Group saw its stock price shoot straight up.
A deep wave of regret rose in Morris’s heart.
He had been wrong.
Larissa had always been exceptional, but no one had ever bothered to see it.
If they had treated her even a little better back then–if she hadn’t cut ties with them–she would have brought enormous benefits to the family.
The mistake had been his.
They had driven away such an outstanding daughter.
The more he thought about it, the heavier the regret became.
