Two Reborn, One Throne novel Chapter 158

158 /199

Today had been the absolute best day of Lucian's life since his rebirth.

Mainly because Joanne was visibly thrilled.

Joanne was happy for two reasons: first, after her exams tomorrow, she was going on a yacht date with Miles Yates; second... Amber had actually missed an exam!

Hahaha! Just thinking about the panicked looks on Vance Leavitt and Tillie Taylor's faces made Joanne want to throw her head back and laugh.

*That bitch stole Lucian's resources and the competition spot, and now she wants the number one rank?*

*As if she deserves it!*

So what if she got lucky and bagged a Madison Group sponsorship? It wasn't that big a deal.

She acted like she owned the number one spot. Disgusting.

"Lucian, hurry back and study! The fifth practice test might not be the real Exam, but the school takes it very seriously. You have to do your best!" Even though Amber missed an exam, Lucian still needed to crush it with his own skills, otherwise, she wouldn't even have the confidence to mock Amber.

Lucian stood below her on the slope. She was fixing his uniform collar. He gently pulled her hands down. "Don't worry, Joanne. I'm definitely getting a perfect score on this mock exam."

In his previous life, he hadn't gotten a perfect score. This time, he would—otherwise, he couldn't wipe away the humiliation of the competition.

Hearing this, Joanne's eyes lit up. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "You're amazing, Lucian."

She playfully added, "You have to do great on the real Exam. Make sure the people who laughed at you can never laugh again."

"Alright, I'm going inside. See you at school tomorrow."

Lucian was reluctant to leave her, but he had to. After watching Joanne go inside, he turned and walked down toward his apartment. As soon as he reached the bottom of the slope, he saw Amber standing under the streetlamp in the alley.

She was wearing her backpack, the neon lights casting a ghostly glow over her, especially when she flashed him a bright, chilling smile.

Lucian frowned, not knowing why she was acting like a ghost, but since she missed the afternoon exam, if his calculations were right, his mother must have successfully brought the Sutton family over.

*Heh, is she here to beg for mercy?*

Before he could smugly say, "Amber, all you have to do is get on your knees, admit you were wrong, and come back to serve me," Amber slapped him hard across the face.
