Chapter 44
Kelly started crying. “He got Into Riverland University.
Everyone in the room was flabbergasted.
Riverland University? Carlisle got into Riverland University? This was unimaginable!
Kelly’s score of 1225 could
Kelly’s score of 1225 could only get her into Tier 2 universities.
Yet, Carlisle was able to get into a Tier 1 university? What was his score then?
Maria’s face became twisted. “Are you trying to trick us, Kelly?”
Kelly shook her head in tears. “Riverland TV station even came to interview him!”
Upon hearing that, Gerard turned on the color TV in the hall and switched to Riverland TV Station’s channel. The scene in which Carlisle was interviewed was shown.
“Carlisle’s college admission party is about to begin. We won’t take up too much of his time. This will be all for today’s interview!
“When we have time, we will have an exclusive interview with Carlisle’s parents to better understand the kind of family that’s able to bring up such an outstanding child!”
Gerard stared at the television blankly. Waves of emotions surged within him, and he couldn’t calm himself down even after a long time.
Maria looked as if she had lost her soul. “That’s impossible… There’s no way that Carlisle got into Riverland University. He must have cheated!”
He scored 1400 even though he handed in his papers within 30 minutes? Who would believe that?
“Gerard, I’ve also received Gordon’s invitation. I’ll go over to give him some money to congratulate him!”
“Oh, right. I received his invite, too. Please bring 50 dollars over on my behalf. We’re a family. Even if I’m not going over, I should at least deliver my wishes!”
‘I’ll head over to have a look too!”
The villagers of Helios Village spoke up one by one.
Riverland University was way more prestigious than the Tier 2 universities that Kelly got into. They had to forge good connections with Gordon’s family.
Naturally, Gerard wasn’t able to hold them back. He simply sat in his seat and smoked his cigarette.
A moment later, the lively hall became much quieter.
However, soon enough, the villagers returned because there weren’t enough seats at Sunago Restaurant.
Even though there were more than ten tables of quests, all the tables were full. The villagers were also tactful enough to avoid mentioning Carlisle’s family.
Chapter 14
Even so, Gerard and his family couldn’t bring themselves to smile. They had also lost their appetites.
Xander Zahn was chewing on some ham hock and had its grease all over his mouth. “Dad, is Riverland University that great?”
There was a loud smack. Kelly had landed a slap on Xander’s face.
“Shut up…
Right now, it made her apnoyed to hear those two words–Riverland University.
Xander started bawling immediately.
