Chapter 120
On TV, they were showing all kinds of moments as students checked their scores.

Some students burst into tears from excitement when they saw their results, some families hugged each other and celebrated, and some students calmly announced their scores while their families went wild, screaming and shouting.
The living room fell silent in an instant.
All six of them turned to look at Natalie at the same time, holding their breath. No one bothered with the vegetable soup
inymore.
We’re doomed… What now?!‘ everyone thought.
3lake, sitting nearby, was the first to react. He reached for the remote and switched off the TV.
William took a deep breath, thinking to himself, ‘Always screwing things up, never getting anything done right!
With the TV off, the living room was swallowed by an eerie silence.
Every eye in the room was locked on Natalie.
Some looked nervous, some were cautious, and everyone seemed a bit awkward, like nobody knew how to break the silence.
They’d checked out Natalie’s records at Seaside City High School.
She was always at the very bottom of her class.
t wasn’t that they looked down on her for her grades, but they all knew Natalie was fiercely competitive.
Whether it was playing the piano or writing books, whenever she set her mind to something, she always gave it her all and imed for perfection.
Her grades…
it’s not like she didn’t want to do well. There must be some other reason.
Now that the SAT results were out, nobody knew what Natalie scored. But if she didn’t do well…
Would Natalie be upset?
How were they supposed to make her feel better?
Charlotte opened her mouth, trying to say something to break the awkward silence.
Hey, Natalie um, about the TV. Why did it just turn on out of nowhere?” she said, trying to sound casual
Ryan scratched his head and awkwardly jumped in
“Yeah, seriously, this remote’s acting up I swear. I’m gonna throw it out later!” he said
Jason cleared his throat softly
“The SAT is just one small chapter in life, it’s really not a big deal,” he said

Ethan pushed up his glasses, trying to sound casual.
“Yeah, plenty of successful people didn’t ace the SAT back then, either,” he added.

Natalie, have you ever thought about pursuing the arts? With your piano skills, any music school would be lucky to have you,” Wilham said.
William felt there was no point dragging this out. What mattered was solving the problem, so he just laid it all out.
“Which school do you want to go to? Dad will reach out for you!” he declared.
Natal e paused, a little surprised by their sudden shift, but quickly realized what was going on.
She gave a light laugh and replied with a smile, “Well… Redvale University.”
“Redvale University? Absolutely!” William said.
William nodded. Redvale University wasn’t exactly famous for its arts programs, and getting in through connections wasn’t easy. But if that’s what Natalie wanted, he could always donate a couple more libraries to make it happen.
Money could make anything happen, even the impossible. For once, he was genuinely glad to be loaded.
Andrew Mitchell asked with a serious look, “So, which major do you want? Music, literature, or something else?”
Natalie thought for a second. “I guess… Physics.”
“Physics?!”
Ryan’s eyes widened in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but ended up just shutting his mouth.
‘Wasn’t Natalie always at the bottom of her class? And now she’s aiming for the Physics Department? Isn’t she just setting herself up for failure?‘ Ryan thought.
Besides, Redvale University’s Physics Department was the top spot for physics prodigies nationwide. The standards were sky–high. Money alone wouldn’t cut it.
Even the Mitchell family, one of the most influential in Harbor City, would struggle to pull strings there.
Even if you offered to build them a library, it’s not guaranteed they’d actually accept it.
Ryan kept his thoughts to himself, not daring to say anything out loud.
He glanced at his brothers, who all had different expressions, but it was obvious they were all thinking the same thing.
William just brushed it off, totally unfazed.
“Physics Department? No problem! Dad’s got your back!” he said, full of confidence.
Andrew nodded, too. “Yeah, as long as Natalie wants it, we’ve got her back all the way”
Ethan pushed up his glasses. “Redvale University’s Physics Department is tough to get into, but there’s still some room to
maneuver
“I remember a few alumni working over there We could get in touch with them.”
Ryan frowned, muttering under his breath, “Natalie, I’m not trying to knock you down or anything, just being honest here

Redvale University’s Physics Department is insanely hard to get into.

“Last year, they only accepted thirty people from the entire province, and every single one of them was a national olympiad
old medalist.
Tim not saying this to discourage you, it’s just that the standards are crazy high. Honestly, it’d be super hard for you.”
He hurried to add.
“But hey, if you really want to go, we’ll totally support you! I’m just worried it’ll be too much for you.”
Charlotte nodded, looking at Natalie with genuine sympathy.
“Mom’s not saying you can’t go, honey. I’m just worried it might be way too much pressure for you.
“I heard that place is packed with physics prodigies. If you end up there, you’ll be constantly competing with those geniuses every single day. It’s gonna be exhausting,” she said.
Ryan chimed in, “Yeah, seriously, physics is just insane. Who keeps torturing themselves with it after high school?”
Natalie blinked, genuinely confused. “Physics… is it really that tough?”
Her words left everyone floored. Nobody could believe what they’d just heard.
Ryan tilted his head, mouth forming a perfect O. “Physics… not hard?”
Natalie shot back, “Is it though?”
Everyone was lost for words.
How are we supposed to gently tell her that her grades might not be a good fit for the Physics Department?‘ everyone wondered.
It wasn’t like the Mitchell family couldn’t get her in. Sure, it’d be a hassle, but if they really wanted to, they could pull it off.
But honestly, they were genuinely worried about Natalie’s abilities in this area. The Physics Department just wasn’t the right fit for her.
Ethan hesitated for a moment, then cleared his throat awkwardly. “Of course, Natalie, I totally believe in you. But honestly, the department doesn’t really matter.
“What’s important is that you’re happy, don’t you think?”
Natalie nodded, agreeing. “Yeah, you’re right, Ethan.”
Jason let out a sigh of relief. “So, Natalie, which department are you going for?”
“Physics, Natalie answered.
Everyone here was stunned.
Andrew took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and said, “Alright, big brother will handle it for you
Natalie smiled “You guys don’t have to worry about it. I already put Redvale University’s Physics Department as my top pick on my college application.”

All seven of them stared at her, their expressions were all over the place, like someone had splashed every color on a palette.
Ryan’s mouth was hanging open so wide, you could practically fit an egg in there.
“You… you already applied?!” he blurted out.
Natalie nodded.
“But Natalie, just because you applied doesn’t mean you’re actually in…” Ryan said, biting his lip, sounding super embarrassed.
Ryan felt awkward as he spoke, his words coming out hesitantly.
Blake’s long fingers drummed rhythmically on his thigh as he thought for a moment, then looked up at Natalie.
“Natalie, how… how many points did you get on the SAT?” he asked.
Natale took a sip of water and said casually, “1599.”
“What?”
“Wait, what?”
“How many points?”
When the seven of them heard Natalie’s score, stunned was an understatement. Their jaws practically hit the floor.
Ryan practically jumped off the couch, his eyes wide as saucers.
“H–How… how much?! 1599?!” he stammered, completely floored.
Jason’s phone clattered to the floor, but he didn’t even notice. He was too busy staring at Natalie in shock.
Blake’s mouth twitched, and his fingers, which had been drumming on his thigh, froze in place,
Ryan swallowed hard, barely able to get the words out.
“N–Natalie, you you gotta be kidding me, right? The SAT is out of 1600, and this year the top scorer in the whole country got 1599, just one point shy of a perfect score! That makes you the one and only person in SAT history to ever pull that off
