10-Point Trap

Ethan Reed's parents always favored his sister, Iris. Every time he took an exam, her score was exactly ten points higher—and whenever he missed one, hers mysteriously tanked. Suspicious but silent, Ethan decided to expose the lie. He studied in secret, aiming for 741 on the finals. That would force Iris to score 751—the maximum possible score. His family, desperate to protect the scam, locked him at home and tried to destroy his admission papers. But Ethan fought back, broke free, and rewrote his own future at a top university.
