Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 315

Penelope bit her lip and muttered under her breath, “There’s no way she memorized nothing in three days. It’s only the first five pages—that doesn’t prove anything. I don’t believe she can keep it up later on.”

Shirley’s expression finally eased a little, clearly sharing Penelope’s skepticism.

A faint glimmer of surprise flickered in Mr. Jerome’s eyes, but she didn’t react much. She, too, seemed to think that reciting just the first few pages wasn’t much of an accomplishment.

“Continue,” she said, her tone even. “This time, let’s try ten pages.”

Penelope immediately volunteered to go first and delivered all ten pages flawlessly. As soon as she finished, she shot a challenging look at Anastasia.

Anastasia met her gaze with a cool, impassive smile, then, without missing a beat, recited all ten pages, word for word, just as perfectly.

Penelope’s face darkened, but she still refused to believe Anastasia could possibly get through the entire book. It was just the first ten pages, after all!

Mr. Jerome glanced at Anastasia. “Continue. This time, twenty pages.”

Now, Penelope hesitated. She didn’t want to go first anymore. Herbal Remedies Unveiled was a hefty book—she’d never actually memorized the whole thing.

Years ago, when she studied it with her sister, she’d become quite familiar with the material. But that was ages ago; she hadn’t even cracked it open in years and had forgotten most of it. She’d only reviewed it now because of the competition.

But because she’d underestimated Anastasia, she hadn’t prepared much. Beyond the first fifteen pages, her memory grew shaky.

Still, since she’d insisted on going first the last two times, it would look bad if she suddenly asked Anastasia to start now. Wouldn’t everyone think she was just getting cold feet?

While she hesitated, Mr. Jerome made the decision for her. “Penelope, you may begin.”

Penelope shot a nervous glance at Anastasia, sweat breaking out across her forehead, but she had no choice but to start.

This time, everyone noticed her pace had slowed. She stumbled over a few lines, pausing more often, making it clear she was less familiar with the later pages.
