Nina Sinclair was a well-known figure in her department.

Never mind the two web dramas she’d acted in before—just being Chloe Sinclair’s sister was enough to draw attention.

But unlike Chloe Sinclair, Nina Sinclair hadn’t managed to earn any goodwill from her professors.

The only reason all the professors remembered her was that Nina Sinclair frequently skipped class and was never present for roll call.

Eventually, nearly every professor in the department knew about her.

"From what I hear, Nina Sinclair has already failed four courses, and there’s still no word on her English grade."

Four required courses for her major, and she hadn’t passed a single one.

Professor Myers’s face flushed red. He scoffed, "How can two people be so different?"

Everyone knew who Professor Myers was talking about, of course. Someone shrugged. "They aren’t biological sisters, after all."

They weren’t clear on the details of what happened on social media, but they had heard bits and pieces from the students.

Professor Myers had no fondness for Nina Sinclair whatsoever. He shut the test booklet without another word.



News that Chloe Sinclair had ranked first in her major quickly spread through the class.

No one was surprised. In fact, it felt more natural for Chloe Sinclair to be number one.

"Chloe Sinclair is the GOAT. I heard that back in high school, she was ranked dead last and was even bullied. Then she staged this incredible comeback, acing the entrance exams with the highest score in the country to get into the Ivory League. That alone makes her a total legend in my book."

"Right? And her acting is great too. I saw the behind-the-scenes clips for *Rivers and Mountains*, and they looked really good. I’m definitely going to watch it when it airs."

"I was just walking past the professors’ office and heard that Chloe Sinclair is transferring to the math department!"

Someone suddenly made the announcement, and the classroom fell dead silent.

"Holy shit, which professor told you that? She’s going to the math department? Is she quitting Physics?"

"You must have heard wrong."

"Yeah, I remember Chloe Sinclair saying she loved Physics in an interview."

"You probably misheard. Chloe Sinclair *is* going to study math, but that’s because I saw Professor Myers hand her a dual-degree application. She’s probably doing a double major?"

At this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sigh, a Genius is a Genius."

"Sigh. The person who scored highest in the country really isn’t human."

Everyone watched Chloe Sinclair with a touch of envy as she sat in the front row, seemingly spacing out.

Suddenly, someone appeared at the classroom door. They scanned the room and called out, "Chloe Sinclair, someone’s here to see you."

Hearing her name, Chloe Sinclair turned her head, a puzzled look on her face.

She glanced at the classmate who had called for her. After a moment’s hesitation, she stood up and walked to the doorway, but she didn’t see anyone there.

The classmate opened his mouth to speak, a strange expression on his face.

"He said he was your brother and was looking for you. He’s waiting downstairs in front of the building."

’When he’d heard the guy was Chloe Sinclair’s brother, he’d taken a closer look, but the more he looked, the less he liked him.’

’The guy looked shifty and narrow-minded!’

’Chloe Sinclair is so brilliant, how could she have a brother like that?’

The more the classmate thought about it, the less sense it made. Hoping he’d somehow gotten it wrong, he quickly said, "Why don’t you go downstairs and take a look?"

Chloe Sinclair nodded.

’This was supposed to be the last class of the semester. I can’t believe *they’d* pick this exact moment to show up.’

She looked at the classmate who had delivered the message, her eyes softening. "Thank you."

The classmate was taken aback by her kindness and quickly shook his head. "No problem, no problem at all."

Watching Chloe Sinclair’s retreating figure, the classmate grew even more confused. He muttered to himself, "But I thought Chloe Sinclair didn’t have a brother...?"
