How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 486

The incident at Verdant University made a small splash.

Posts about Elodie, the academic prodigy, were all over the campus forum, and she’d suddenly become a legend in the eyes of many students.

When Lucinda Howard caught wind of it, she was genuinely surprised.

After taking the time to piece together the whole story, she found herself even more astonished.

No matter how she tried to look at it, the entire situation was almost unbelievable.

Today, Elodie was absolutely dominating the academic scene—no one even came close.

“Mom? Where’s my brother?” Octavia rushed in, her face anxious.

“He’s in the study, I think,” Lucinda replied, remembering that the housekeeper had mentioned Jarrod was back to collect his seal—he should still be in there.

She hesitated, then decided to head over herself.

But Octavia was quicker, darting down the hall with barely a pause.

The study was Jarrod’s private sanctuary—no one else usually ventured inside.

He’d just set down a book when the door burst open.

Octavia stood on the threshold.

He shot her a cool, unimpressed glance. “Ever heard of knocking?”

Octavia shrank back, voice small. “Sorry, big brother…”

But she couldn’t hold back and blurted out, “I just heard from my friends—something happened at Verdant today, something about Elodie. Is it… true?”

She was honestly stunned.

According to her classmates, Elodie had practically been hailed by all the brightest minds at Verdant University. She’d even heard that Sylvie—her idol—had been completely overshadowed by Elodie.

It was utterly inconceivable.
