Carla pulled her luggage tightly while her lips couldn't help but twitch. For her, right now was obviously not the right time for her uncle and aunt to visit her
because she and Terence were not in a good place. He hadn't been home for two days. How could she call him right now?
"Carla, you're my cousin. Just do me this favor, please?" Lynn begged as she walked over to Carla and held her hand. She looked straight into Carla's eyes and continued, "Carla, I'm dying for a chance to study at JA University. If it's impossible for me to study there, then the Medical University of JA will be fine as well."
Lynn's major was medicine. The medical department of JA University was well known to be one of the most prestigious schools in the country. However, if she tried and still failed to enter the university, she would be happy to go to the Medical University of JA instead. After all, it was still a decent place to take up medicine.
As a nineteen-year-old girl, Lynn had just finished high school. She was wearing a thick pair of glasses, but that did not hide her exquisite features. Both Hasen and his wife thought their daughter was very beautiful. So, they were trying their best in helping Lynn to stay at JA City. They also hoped that in the future, their daughter could snatch a rich husband there.
In their eyes, Lynn was far more proper and therefore, a better choice for the rich men than Carla. To them, Carla was just a mediocre girl and on top of that, she had a younger brother to take care of. They thought, 'Since Carla has been associated with the An family, then it wouldn't be difficult for Lynn to find a rich husband.'
Seeing their expectant faces, Carla glanced at her luggage and smiled bitterly.
"Carla, where are you going?" Hasen's wife quickly asked when she noticed the luggage behind Carla. Then, she and her husband looked at each other for a short while.
She thought, 'Did we come too late?
Has Carla been driven out of the An's mansion by Terence?'
"Carla, you know we had been staying at JA City for several days and it had cost us a lot of money. Moreover, it wasn't an easy task for us to find you here. Anyway, since we're here now, can you just do this for us? After all, I'm your aunt and Lynn is your cousin,"
Hasen's wife begged loudly as she held Carla's arms tightly.
As the same way her daughter did earlier, she looked straight into Carla's eyes and said, "If you successfully help Lynn in entering JA University, I promise we will pay you back. Would you be so kind as to help your cousin just this one time?"
Carla removed her arm from her aunt's grasps. She was aware that her aunt was already suspecting that she was kicked out of the mansion by Terence. So she decided to exploit that.
She replied miserably, "Auntie, I really want to help you. But just as you have seen, I've already moved out of Terence's villa. How could I go back without his permission?"
Upon hearing Carla's words, Hasen's wife knew that her speculation was right. She became really worried but she managed to say, "Don't refuse us, Carla. I think you can still do something. Even if you're done with Terence, you were together as lovers, right? I'm sure that must meant something. Please help us this time. How about just asking him out to lunch? So that we can talk with him. Don't you think that would be a great idea?"
