After covering the quilt for Luke, Winnie turned off the light. At this time, Brian had gone upstairs with
Megan in his arms. They came to the room of Megan.
Brian did not leave, but stood by and watched as Winnie arranged a pillow and covered the quilt for
Megan.
"I like Megan after getting along with her for so long. I don’t want to leave her."
Brian said in a soft voice.
"People get apart all the time. Just get used to it."
He was reluctant to leave Megan, but he had to face the reality.
"If only she were my daughter, then we have no need to be apart."
Brian said tentatively, hoping to see Winnie panic look.
Winnie froze for a moment, and then she spoke.
"Your thoughts are cruel to me. If she were your daughter, would you let me leave alone?"
Winnie asked Brian, which made Brian speechless.
If Megan was his daughter, would he let Winnie leave alone?
"Go downstairs, Vanessa is still waiting for me."
Winnie knew that Brian would not answer her questions. She knew that he would selfishly keep the
child and let her leave alone.
So Winnie must put down all at this time, and strive for the custody of the children. She would never let
her children grow up with a stepmother who didn't like them.
Penny had hurt Luke and no one could guarantee that Wendy would be kind to children and that
Megan would suffer what happened to Luke.
When it was time to announce the score, Vanessa felt nervous. She closed her eyes and her heart
thumped. She dared not look at the computer screen.
However, when Winnie accessed the website, there was an accident. She failed to access it.
"Sister, are there too many people to check the score, so the server broke down?"
Vanessa was worried. She had been waiting so many days and now there was problem with the
computer.
"Check if anyone in your class has got the score."
Looking at the state of the web page, Winnie felt that the server was not down, but rather was attacked
by hackers.
Vanessa hurried to check.
"Sister, they do not get the scores too."
"I know, the server has been hacked. I'll fix it now."
"Mr. Bennet, go upstairs and ask Luke to go down. I'll show him how I fix it."
Winnie would not miss this good opportunity for her child to learn. She looked up and said to Brian.
Although she often called his name before, Brian felt strange now, because they had broken up,
because they were only connected due to Luke.
Brian did not speak but directly turned to go upstairs. Winnie told Vanessa to take another professional
computer.
When Luke got down, the computer was ready.
"Luke, watch attentively, remember attentively."
"Well, I'm watching."
In the fastest speed, with the most skilled means, Winnie began to fight with the hacker.
At the moment she was nervous, because too many people were waiting for the results after twelve
years of hard study. The faster she was, the less nervous the parents would be.
Winnie was quite fast, like a rocket to the sky, like a meteor across the sky. Several people around
including Paul and his wife gathered around to see, but they did not understand, only Luke watched
without blinking eyes. He could understand Winnie's every step of the operation.
The hacker was so great that it took Winnie a full 40 minutes to successfully attack the hacker, and the
website was recovered in a split second.
Winnie sighed with relief and looked at Luke.
"Do you understand?”
"Yes, I understand what you're doing, but I have something don't understand."
Luke said clearly.
"It is ok, because you have to learn how to hack before you can attack hackers. Tomorrow I will teach
you how to hack."
"Vanessa, input your ID card number to check scores."
Winnie got excited again, but Rufus looked at Winnie thoughtfully.
He knew that she was a software expert and that she had some achievements in the appearance
design of mobile phones. To his surprise, Winnie was also a computer expert.
Rufus was thinking Winnie was a all-around talent. If Brian dismissed her, it was the Bennet Group's
biggest loss.
"Sister, I am nervous and my hand is shaking. You do it."
Vanessa was nervous when her classmates had announced their scores.
"You make me nervous."
Affected by Vanessa, Winnie did not dare to check the score. Then Brian volunteered.
"I'll do it."
He sat next to the computer, entered Vanessa's ID card number, soon the computer showed Vanessa's
scores.
When Brian saw the score, he was shocked.
"Vanessa ranked first in the province with a total score of 731."
"Champion in science!”
Rufus could not calm down hearing that. He knew she had good performance in study, but he did not
expect that she would rank first in the province.
"Yes, top scorer in science."
Brian recovered from the shock and repeated.
"Really?"
Vanessa had been covering her eyes and could not believe what they said.
She went to the computer and looked at her score with a nervous heart.
After confirming her name, ID number and test number, she looked at her score.
When she saw that the total score of 731, she screamed.
"Really, I really was the first in the province. Sister, Sister, you see that?!"
Vanessa announced excitedly. She was happy and could not restrain the excitement. At this time,
Winnie did not shout excitedly but cried.
Vanessa came up to hug her sister.
"Don't cry, it is a happy thing."
Vanessa comforted her sister.
"I cry because I am glad. You have been studying hard for twelve years. I'm proud of you."
Winnie knew how hard it was for Vanessa to get over the mental torture of losing her parents and the
damn phobia. She did not go to bed until she learnt to one o'clock in the morning.
It worth though.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm proud of you, too."
Vanessa comforted sister with excitement. After her parents passed away, they did not have an easy
life.
"Vanessa, good for you. You are the best."
Brian could not restrain his excitement. He also felt that this was the highest honor and worthy of pride.
"Congratulations, Vanessa is the pride of us all."
"Congratulations, Vanessa."
"Congratulations, you are great."
Everyone congratulated her and Luke could not help but feeling joyful.
"Congratulations, Auntie. You are my pride and my role model. I will study hard to become the number
one in the province."
"Good boy, Luke, you are the best, you can do better than me."
Vanessa endured for a long time, and finally she cried by the words of Luke because she was moved.
“Now stop crying, it's a good thing, and everybody should laugh.”
Rufus comforted the two sisters, feeling that they cried not only because of excellence, but also their
past bitterness.
"Vanessa, made a call to aunt, she has been waiting."
She was so happy that she forgot her aunt.
Vanessa picked up the phone to call her aunt, and then the voice of Megan suddenly was heard.
"Oh, you skunks. What did I miss?"
Everyone looked up at the top of the stairs on the second floor and saw that she was rubbing her dim
eyes, which made everyone laugh.
Vanessa achieved good scores. Rufus proposed a celebration and held a small family dinner the next
evening in the suburbs.
In addition to their family, there were Kevin and Daenerys.
As promised, everyone came. They congratulated to Winnie and Vanessa. It was barbecue.
"Our champion is the leading role today. She must drink."
Kevin raised his glass to propose.
"No, I'll drink soda."
Vanessa refused in embarrassment. She never drank wine and she hated the smell of wine.
"It is such a happy day, you can drink."
Winnie advised her sister, afraid to let everyone upset.
Vanessa agreed. Although she hated wine, she drank one glass of it.
"Vanessa, you are amazing, we are so proud of you. The person I envy most now is your sister,
because she has such an excellent sister."
Daenerys could not restrain the excitement. Since Vanessa made such good performance, Winnie’s
efforts of many years did not pay in vain.
"Thank you, Daenerys. I'm not that good. It is my sister’s credit."
Vanessa was very modest. She though she had been influenced by her sister for so many years, and it
was her sister's constant encouragement and support that made her motivated to study hard.
"You are modest. You need not speak of such civility. If you don't drink, I won't force you. We'll drink
soda and propose to your sister."
Daenerys' proposal was approved. Vanessa filled the soda and handed a cup to her sister.
"Sister, after parents passed away, you are the only person supporting our family, you must be very
tired. I will study harder, find a good job and then I will support this family and you can rest."
"Sister, I propose to you. Thanking for your meticulous care when I was sick, thank you for your help
and encouragement in my study!"
Vanessa finished her words and could not help but shed tears.
Thinking of their hardships when their parents died, she could not help but shedding tears. Her sister,
aunt, Megan and she were not easy.
She had never been so serious to say thank you to her sister, but today she must say, because without
her sister, she could not rank the first.
"It is ok. I didn't do anything. It's aunt's work. No need to say such polite words with family."
Winnie hugged Vanessa and patted her back. She felt gratified for her sensible sister. It was good that
she was grateful.
