Back to Before My Husband Was Bound by the SAT Score Change System

Before tutoring Miya, I first took Yori to the school to handle the overseas study procedures.

The head teacher was a bit confused. "Yori's grades are so good that she might become the top scorer and win a huge bonus."

I smiled and explained, "Studying is just a part of life. As long as my Yori grows up happily, that's enough for our family. We don't lack money. Please keep this news confidential, as I'm afraid it may affect other students' preparations for the SAT. Yori will also take the TEST as a formality."

The teacher agreed. "Yori has been outstanding in studies and has won numerous competitions. It's good that she is going to study at a prestigious university abroad. The only worry is that your parents may not be willing to spend the money. Your open-mindedness is better for her future."

Yori asked doubtfully, "Mom, wasn't your and Dad's biggest wish that I could get into a key university? So I studied hard since I was young just to fulfill your wish."

Silly girl.

I hugged Yori's slim body tenderly.

"Mom's life goal is for you to have a safe, smooth, and happy life. Whether you can get into a good university or not is not that important. I have saved money for you, so you can pursue the life you truly want."

Yori seemed to understand but was not sure. "Mom, I promise to get a high score on the SAT to make you happy."

"No, sweetie. Promise me that you aim for the lowest score in the test, and try to get a zero. And all of this must be kept secret, especially from your dad."

Yori was silent for a moment and agreed.

"Okay, mom. Dad actually doesn't care about my affairs. I won't tell him."

Looking at Yori's disappointed face, my hatred for Ted grew even stronger.

I will get back what you owe our daughter, with interest.

With only one month left until the SAT, Miya started coming to my house for tutoring.

I tested Miya's grades and she was a complete failure in terms of academic performance.

Not to mention the difficult questions, she also got all the easy points wrong, which made me suspect that Miya might have got something wrong with her brain.

Yori was already working on the extension questions, while Miya was still staring at the first page of the multiple choice questions.

I tapped on her desk, and Miya gave me a confused look.

"Mrs. Smith, my foundation is weak. Are you intentionally giving me these difficult questions?"

I smiled and said, "Your foundation is weak, so just memorize all the answers, and you'll understand."

Miya naturally refused, pointing to Yori and saying, "Why is Yori doing the latest quizzes, while I have to memorize old ones?"

Getting new quizzes was easy.

I used Miya's mother's name to order a large batch of the latest quizzes from the bookstore downstairs for Miya.

"Shouldn't that be enough? Yori has also memorized them, and if you memorize them too, you can be as good as her," I said.

I didn't miss the flash of jealousy in Miya's eyes.

Yori had indeed memorized them, but she had been doing it for three years, and had learned to apply similar concepts and solve problems in different ways.

Miya would never be able to catch up to Yori.

What I was doing was just wearing down Miya's last bit of study enthusiasm.

Miya grudgingly memorized the quizzes, and in the evening when Ted came home, I heard Miya complaining to him.

"Uncle Ted, Mrs. Smith is so strict. She's making me memorize such thick quizzes, and I'm so tired and stressed out," Miya said.

Ted immediately got angry.

"Vivian! Are you purposely not teaching Miya well? She's just a little girl. She can't bear such exhaustion. Don't you have an easier way? You're a master, but you're so useless!"

I pretended to be innocent. "This is already the fastest way. There's no easy way to study. Yori used to do the same. Since Miya is smarter than Yori, she can definitely do it too."

After thinking for a while, Ted realized that what I said was true and couldn't refute it.

He had to turn back and comfort Miya, asking her to persevere.

Miya was unwilling.
