Three Systems Made the Fake Heiress Unstoppable

Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Reward for the First Rescue

Henry Ford glanced at Chloe York, his tone serious. ”Chloe York. Six poems, all of them correct, without a single error.”

The moment he spoke, the laughter-filled classroom fell completely silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief, their gazes shifting between Henry Ford and Chloe York. They had all just seen Chloe glance at the book for a second before pushing it away. How could she possibly have written all six poems from memory?

”How is that possible? All six poems correct.”

”See for yourselves if you don’t believe me.” Henry Ford held out Chloe York’s notebook.

Clara Bell snatched it and, sure enough, saw six poems written neatly on the page.

”Chloe York, did you memorize these beforehand?” Clara Bell’s sharp voice dripped with suspicion.

”What, can’t admit you lost? Trying to get out of the bet?”

”Clara, I was the one who chose these six poems. Are you suggesting that I conspired with Chloe?” Henry Ford frowned at Clara Bell, his tone laced with annoyance.

”No, Class President, that’s not what I meant!” Clara Bell quickly and anxiously explained. The class president’s family was not to be trifled with; he wasn’t someone she could afford to offend.

”Alright, that’s enough, everyone,” Brooke York said, cutting the conversation short. Having lost, she didn’t want to continue the topic; it was too humiliating. ”Chloe, congratulations. I know when I’m beaten. This Saturday, I’m treating everyone to a big dinner.”

”Brooke’s so generous!” the students cheered.

Brooke York glanced sideways at Chloe York. ’I can’t believe I actually lost to her,’ she thought. ’What went wrong?’

The bell rang, and everyone returned to their seats.

Chloe York paid rapt attention during the last class. After all, the college entrance exams were only a few months away. ’Even if this is a novel world, the spirit of an overachiever is to compete, no matter the time or place.’ Throughout the class, questioning gazes landed on her, and even the teacher was no exception.

To everyone, Chloe York paying attention in class was as unbelievable as the sun rising in the west, to say nothing of the fact that she had also beaten Brooke York today.

After school, the York family’s private car was already waiting quietly at the gate. Brooke York was already sitting inside.

Physical System: [Host, if you reach 10,000 steps for two consecutive days, you’ll be rewarded with a constitution that lets you eat whatever you want without gaining weight!]

The moment Chloe York heard that, she reached the car door, turned around without a second thought, and started walking away. ”I’m not taking the car,” she called out.

”Sister, is it because you don’t want to ride with me? In that case, I’ll get out,” Brooke York said. She slung on her backpack and made to leave, but someone suddenly grabbed her arm.

An accusatory voice rang out. ”Chloe York, have you forgotten your place? Brooke is the true heiress of the York Family! What right do you have to stop her from taking the car?”

A boy pulled Brooke York behind him protectively, his eyes wide with anger as he glared at Chloe York.

”Ethan, don’t say that about Chloe. After all, she was the one who always used this car before,” Brooke York said, slowly lowering her gaze. She looked utterly aggrieved.

That name—Ethan—told Chloe York exactly who this was: Ethan Prescott, the male lead of the novel. He went to the same school as her, but unwilling to be too close to the original ’her’, he had requested a transfer to a different class.

Brooke York’s words only further convinced Ethan Prescott that Chloe York was bullying her.

”Chloe York, I’m warning you, don’t waste your time. I will never like you.”

”Yeah, got it. If there’s nothing else, I’m going.”

Without waiting for a reply, Chloe York turned and walked away, completely ignoring whatever else he might have had to say.

Ethan Prescott was stunned that Chloe York had just walked away. ’Whenever I said things like that before, she would get furious and demand I take her side. Why is she so cold today?’

Seeing Ethan Prescott staring after the departing Chloe York, Brooke York tugged his sleeve. ”Ethan, my sister is in a bad mood today. She only scored one point on every subject... Don’t be too hard on her.”

”One point? Hah. What an idiot.” Ethan Prescott’s momentary confusion vanished, replaced by pure disgust.

His expression softened as he looked back at Brooke York. ”Brooke, my grandmother is coming home today. I’m going to tell her that the engagement should be between you and me.”

”Okay,” Brooke York replied, nodding shyly.

Godly Rich System: [Host, an elderly person is having a hypoglycemic attack on a bench 100 meters ahead. Hurry and help them.]

Chloe York, who was in the middle of her Physical System task, heard the prompt. She pulled out the yogurt drink she hadn’t finished that morning and rushed to the elderly woman’s side. ”Ma’am, I have a yogurt drink here. Please, have some.”

She carefully inserted the straw into the yogurt and brought it to the elderly woman’s lips. The woman began to drink slowly through the straw.

After drinking the yogurt, the color returned to the woman’s face. She grasped Chloe York’s hand. ”Thank you, little girl. If it weren’t for you, this old life of mine would’ve ended right here today.”

Looking into the woman’s cloudy but grateful eyes, Chloe felt a little shy. ’If it weren’t for the System, I wouldn’t have dared to approach a stranger so boldly.’ ”You’re welcome, Ma’am.”

”What’s your name, little girl?”

”I’m Chloe York.”

”Chloe York?” The old woman paused to think. ”Are you Nathan Sheridan of the York Family’s daughter?”

”You know him?”

The woman didn’t answer her question directly. ”Young lady, I still have things to attend to today. Once I’m free, I will be sure to pay a visit to your home to thank you properly.” Her gaze on Chloe York was filled with approval.

”That’s very kind of you, Ma’am.”

Godly Rich System: [Congratulations, Host, for completing a good deed. Reward: 1,000 yuan.]

Chloe York pulled out her phone and saw her balance was now 1,000 yuan. Her mood instantly brightened.

When she got home, she found Alice Cole and Brooke York sitting on the sofa, having an affectionate mother-daughter chat.

Ever since her biological daughter had returned, Alice Cole had found fault with everything the original ’her’ did. If Nathan Sheridan hadn’t been thinking of using her in a future marriage alliance, she would have been kicked out of the house long ago.

Not wanting to disturb their touching mother-daughter moment, Chloe York walked past them and headed upstairs.

”So disgraceful,” Alice Cole sneered with a sideways glance.

”Mom, don’t be mad at my sister. She’s in a bad mood, probably because she only scored one point...” Brooke York quickly clapped a hand over her mouth, as if she’d let a secret slip and was afraid to say more.

”What? One point! She’s going to completely disgrace the York family name!”

When Brooke York had first returned, she’d wanted to kick Chloe York out. But with Chloe’s biological parents gone, kicking her out would have damaged the York family’s reputation. It turned out that letting her stay wasn’t much better.

「The Prescott Estate」

”Grandma, you’re finally back! You haven’t been home in more than a decade,” Ethan Prescott said, helping Miss Prescott to a seat.

”It’s true. A decade has passed in the blink of an eye, but the house hasn’t changed a bit!” Miss Prescott sighed, her gaze sweeping around the room with emotion.

”Grandma, how’s your health?” Miss Prescott’s health had been poor lately, which was why she had decided to return for a family reunion.

”Not what it used to be. I even fainted from low blood sugar today. Luckily, that young lady from the York family came to my rescue. She’s the one your grandfather arranged for you to marry, isn’t she?”

”It is.”

”Hmm. Not bad. Kind and beautiful. She’s a suitable choice to be a daughter-in-law of the Prescott family.”
