My Family Bets on My Adoptive Brother

Jeremy Stewart, my adopted younger brother, and I have both applied to the same postgraduate program. However, the advisor, Professor Suzanne Graham, tells us there's only one spot left.

I hesitate a little. "Will Jem be sad if I get the spot?"

The rest of the family laughs. "In situations like this, everything is fair game. We'll be happy no matter who gets it."

However, on the day of the interview, Jeremy pulls out the recommendation letter our mother, a renowned academician, has written for him.
