Although Evelyn Grant was suspicious, she didn't let her brother notice.
She just asked nonchalantly, "So, the school didn't say anything else?"
"Nope! They just called me into the dean's office alone. They said my grades are excellent and that I'm the school's great hope, so they've decided to give me special support."
'Only Alex would believe that.'
'If they really wanted to focus on his development, they would have stepped in long ago. How could they wait until right before exams to offer him extra teachers, and just for him?'
"Oh. So, have there been any big events at your school recently?"
"A big event?" Alex thought for a moment. "The school announced it's going to be expanded. Does that count?"
"An expansion. That must be because someone made a donation."
Alex nodded. "Yeah, but that's just what I've heard. I don't know the specifics! In any case, I'm about to graduate, so I won't be around to see it whether the school expands or not."
