Chapter 1

Grendill University's director of admissions, Dean Whetten, was briefly stunned before a smile broke across his face."Really?" he exclaimed. "That's wonderful news, Marcus! We promise to give you a full scholarship, waive the school fees for four years, let you pick any major you want, and assign you to a single dorm. We'll also give you a 1,000 square feet apartment and secure a job for you after you graduate."I thanked Dean before hanging up. I was the only one left in the house.Just then, my phone vibrated. My sister, Jillian Hawkins, sent a message in the family group chat with over 100 members."Congratulations to my dear Terence for scoring 700 points on this year's college entrance exams. He'll be enrolling in Laville University in September!"Countless messages flooded the group chat to congratulate Terence."Terence is amazing. My kid only got into a second-rate university.""Terence is truly bringing glory to the Hawkins family!""What about Marcus?" someone asked.

Jillian grabbed her laptop and shot a glance at me. "Give me your exam admission ticket. I'll fill in your university application form for you. Tell me your password too. I'll change it. You don't need to do anything."When I didn't budge an inch, Dad gave me a rough shove and snapped, "Stop being so stubborn. I get annoyed just looking at you!"He then stormed to my room and grabbed my exam admission ticket.Jillian logged into my account. "We'll only list Laville University on the form. The admissions director mentioned that she'll send your application to the universities that are listed."She put on a gentle expression as she looked at Terence and asked, "Which major do you want to pursue, Terence?""An Esterion major sounds good. I like languages," Terence replied with a bright smile.I scoffed upon hearing his words.It was blatantly obvious that it was just an excuse. He was probably scared he would be exposed as a fraud on the first day if he picked a science or engineer

Two weeks later, the mailman's voice disrupted the peace of our meal."Two acceptance letters for the Hawkins family!"Dad hastily brought the two envelopes into the house, looking like he was going to tear them open on the spot.I tightened my grip on my fork. The acceptance letter from Grendill University was in one of the envelopes.However, I didn't expect Terence to suddenly dart forward and grab the two envelopes, tossing them into a corner of his suitcase."No need to look at them, Dad!" he exclaimed. "Marcus' name is on the letter. I'll get upset if I see it, so I don't want to look at it!"His intentions were so obvious, but none of them found anything amiss with his behavior.Jillian shot an affectionate smile at him and said, "Alright then. We won't look at them. You can just complete your registration when you're at Laville University. It doesn't make a difference whether we look at the letter beforehand."She then looked at me and asked, "Am I right?"The corners

Dad suddenly summoned me to the living room days before the semester began."You're going to a local community college, Marcus," he said. "So, you're not going to be spending a lot of money. I'll give you 700 dollars for your monthly allowance."I clenched my fists but didn't say a word.Dad then looked at Terence. "You're going to be spending a lot more money since you'll be staying in Basillion, Terence. The cost of living in the capital is much higher. After some discussion, your mother and I agreed to give you 5,000 dollars for your monthly allowance for now. Let us know if it's not enough."Jillian, who was sitting on the couch and working, also chimed in. "I'll also give you another 2,000 dollars every month, Terence. Just spend it whenever you need to. No need to be frugal.""Thank you, Mom, Dad, Jillian," Terence said while sniffling.I stood to the side, feeling like an outsider as I took in the harmonious air surrounding the four of them.Fortunately, Grendill Universi

The next day, Terence put on a suit and traveled to Laville University while chatting happily with the others. A murmur of awe rippled through them as they stood before the gate."It's no wonder this is a top-tier institution. Even its gate looks better than the other universities!""You're right. Hurry and take a picture for me! My life will be worth something if my son manages to enroll here!"Although Terence smiled warmly, a trace of disdain crossed his face. "What a bunch of country bumpkins," he thought to himself.Jillian stepped forward and ruffled his hair. "You have to study hard once your classes start, Terence. But remember that you have to prioritize your health above all else."Terence schooled his expression and obediently hummed in response.Just then, a volunteer approached them. "Good morning. Which major are you enrolling in?""The Esterion major," Terence immediately answered."Esterion majors can register over there," the volunteer said, pointing in a certa

Terence was utterly flabbergasted. "What? The acceptance letter isn't from Laville University?" he exclaimed.Jillian snatched the acceptance letter out of the teacher's hand as the other members of the Hawkins family looked on with wide eyes."How could it be from Grendill University?" she muttered to herself. "I personally filled in the university application form!"The teachers frowned as they looked at the long line behind Terence and the others. "Please cooperate with us and move to the side."They were then unceremoniously ushered to the side. Their excitement quickly morphed into awkwardness and helplessness.Ethan pursed his lips and asked, "How did you confuse which university you applied to, Terence?"The color had completely drained from Terence's face. Tears spilled down his cheeks and splattered on the floor.Mom was utterly heartbroken as she took in his miserable expression. "That's enough. There must be a mistake."They made their way over to a seating area in a

I halted my footsteps but didn't turn around.Terence and the others approached me and stood before me. Jillian gave me a once-over, looking as if she had something to say. "Why didn't I know that you had this side of you?"I scoffed as I looked at her, saying, "What side? The outstanding one? Or the one that tricked you?""Marcus Hawkins!" Jillian hissed in a low voice.She swiftly regained her composure, pursing her lips before stepping forward to ruffle my hair. "That's enough. We're a family. There's no yours or mine."She shot a glance at Mom and Dad before continuing, "We've already bought a plane ticket back to Romilla for you. Terence will be taking your place here from tomorrow on."I looked up. Instead of feeling angry or upset, I only thought that the entire situation was incredibly absurd."Is that so? Go ahead and try. I've already met several professors today. I also publicly announced that I have a spoiled twin during my speech. I've enrolled in an engineering maj

Chapter 8

Terence and the others were unceremoniously kicked out of Grendill University by the security guards. The university also blacklisted them.Dean patted my shoulder and said, "Everything's alright now."I sniffled and nodded solemnly.…My phone chimed endlessly when I returned to my dormitory. All of the messages were from Terence and the others."Let's talk, Marcus," Jillian said."Marcus, you bastard! How could you treat me that way?" Terence demanded."Are you sure that you don't want me anymore, Marcus?" Mom asked."You have some nerve, Marcus!" Dad exclaimed.I didn't reply to any of the messages. I just deleted them and blocked all four of them.…Meanwhile, Terence and the others weren't even given a chance to catch their breath after they returned home. They saw the rest of the Hawkins family standing outside the door, waiting for them.Terence shrank into himself, feeling a little guilty.Aunt Penelope was the first to step forward. Her words dripped with sarcasm
