Chapter 33 Looks Like Tilda's Doomed The title of being the first person to ever beat Shaun's program still stuck to Wade like a badge . He knew better than anyone how insanely complicated that program was . And every single year , Shaun updated it , making it different . So , trying to copy what worked before wouldn't work . Back when Wade had passed , it was right at the one - hour deadline . And honestly , luck had helped him , too . That was why Wade knew - this challenge was brutal . It was pretty much impossible . If it were anyone else , Wade wouldn't even care . But this time ... it was Tilda . And suddenly , his feelings were all tangled . He didn't even know if he wanted her to pass or fail . Of course , Clive wasn't going to let such a chance slip by . He nudged Wade with a grin . " So ? Think your sister can actually do it ? " " How would I know ? " " Oh , come on . You would know . You're the only one who's ever passed . You know exactly how hard it is . " Wade paused for a while before he finally said , his voice steady , " She's not gonna make it . " " Damn , Wade . That's cold . It's not like you . Even if you two aren't close anymore , she's still your blood . " Wade shot him a sharp glare . " Don't be stupid . If I went back to sophomore year and tried Professor Manning's program again , I'd only give myself 60 % odds . " You need both skill and luck . And sure , Tilda's attitude has changed a lot lately , but her actual IQ and coding skills couldn't have magically leveled up overnight . Clive's eyes lit up with mischief . His lips curled . " Then wanna bet ? " You re convinced she can't pass , so I'll bet she can . " The loser owes the other a month of lunches . Home - cooked . Deal ? " " Lame " " So you in or not ? * Fine " To Wade this was basically free food . There no way Tilda is gonna make it Meanwhile Kyla couldn't resist sneaking near Tilda's classroom She tucked herself into a quiet corner in the hallway , staying out of sight 11.19 AM PP . Chapter 33 Looks Like Tilda's Doomed From there , she could see groups of students crowding outside the room . And of course , everyone was talking about whether Tilda would pass the ultimate test . " Do you all think she's actually gonna succeed ? " " Maybe . Back in freshman year , she was at the top of our class . " And now she's with the Jensons . Maybe Wade even taught her a few tricks ." O Finished " Yeah , Wade's the only one who's ever cleared it . And look at Tilda now - walking around like she's confident . She must have something planned . " " She's wild . She was all quiet one minute , then suddenly - boom , turns out she's the real Jenson daughter . Talk about rags to riches . " " I saw Wade and Kyla riding to campus together this morning . I didn't see Tilda , though . What do you think that means ? " " What else ? The fake daughter was keeping the spot warm , but now the real one's back . Guess who's about to get replaced ? " Laughter broke out . Hidden in her corner , Kyla's face burned . Fake daughter? Replaced ? No. I AM the Jensons ' daughter . I've always been , and I always will be . Nobody can take that away . The one who will be pushed out isn't me - it's Tilda . If this had been before , Kyla wouldn't have been worried . She would've thought Tilda taking Shaun's challenge was just her being cocky . Even Wade had barely passed , so what chance did Tilda have ? But lately , Tilda's whole vibe had shifted in ways Kyla couldn't explain . So the second she heard the news , she found herself sneaking over , almost without thinking . Please, please fail . Tilda . If she succeeded , people would compare them . And Kyla couldn't stand the thought of that shame . Just then , the classroom door opened . Una came out , head hanging low . Right away , classmates rushed up to ask " Nope , " Una sighed " Professor Manning's program is way too tough . I didn't even know where to start " Everyone gasped Una was always one of the best students . She was easily in the top three in the class And if she couldn't solve it and gave up that fast , that just showed how cruel the challenge really was . Looks like Tilda's doomed to " Yeah , there's only one hour It's already been 40 minutes . " P P Chapter 33 Looks Like Tilda's Doomed " Exactly . If it were easy , Wade wouldn't still be the only one who ever passed . " Una's temper snapped . " Hey ! Don't talk crap ! Tilda can totally do it ! " Everyone knew how close Una and Tilda were . And seeing her this mad , they all shut up quick . But Kyla saw everything . Send Gifts 560
