moment Julie heard that Iris had rescued Emma, she planned to visit the Barclay residences thing
the next morning
As soon as she stepped out of her room, she spotted a familiar outsider sitting on the living roofa downstairs
The instant she recognized the woman’s face, her good mood for the day vanished.
Chloe?
Why is she here again?”
Chloe was sitting on the couch chatting with Rumi. Julie had been about to storm downstairs, but another thought crossed her mind. She quietly crept to the staircase and hid there, eavesdropping on their
conversation.
“Don’t be so upset. Chloe. It’s perfectly normal to have an off day during the exams
Rumi set down a plate of Chloe’s favorite pastries and gently comforted her.
“But… I still wanted to go to Capital University.”
“Aunt Rumi, you know me. I’ve been planning to attend Capital University ever since I started high school…”
Chloe forced out a few more tears, making Rumi’s heart ache.
Seeing that the emotional appeal had worked, Chloe stopped beating around the bush. She affectionately wrapped an arm around Rumi’s.
“Aunt Rumi. I heard you’re friends with Capital University’s president. Could you… help me think of a way?”
At acafe near Julie’s design studio, Julie and Iris sat across from one another.
“You called me out just to tell me this?” Iris calmly took a sip of coffee before nodding approvingly. “This coffee is pretty good.”
“Oh. seriously?” Julie looked at her in disbelief. “You’re worried about the coffee right now? If Chloe ends up at the same university as you, it’ll be such a headache!”
“My mom is pretty close to the president of Capital University. What if she actually manages to get Chloe admitted? Although honestly, I don’t even know how they’d pull that off. If Chloe had the grades. it’d be one thing But I heard she bombed the entrance exam and missed the cutoff by a mile. If she still got accepted, the students would riot.”
While Juhe continued venting nonstop. Iris leisurely helped herself to another pastry.

way.”
Come to think of it…
The admission letters should already be in production.
Besides Chloe…
There seemed to be someone else who wanted to attend Capital University as well.

Julie sighed dramatically. “I seriously don’t understand why my mom agreed to help. She doesneven fuss over me this much. Sometimes I wonder who’s actually her biological daughter.”
Iris paused briefly at the thought.
But she quickly dismissed it.
Chloe and Rumi looked nothing alike.
Their personalities couldn’t have been more different, either.
There was simply no resemblance between them.
“I’ve got to go. I already paid the bill.”
“My professor just texted me.”
Iris finished the last bite of her pastry, then asked the waiter to pack another order to go.
“Didn’t your company finally settle down? How are you busy again already?”
Julie pouted but let her leave.
Inside a laboratory at Capital University, Iris handed the box of pastries to Professor Joe.
“Thank you, Miss Zero!”
“I’ve been craving pastries from this place for days!”
The professor beamed as he accepted the package.
The moment he opened it, the graduate students working with him caught the aroma and wandered over.
Each grabbed a piece.
Within seconds, more than half the pastries were gone.
Professor Joe stared at the nearly empty bag in disbelief.
These kids.

“Is something wrong with the experiment?” Iris asked.

She mentally reviewed every project Professor Joe had been working on recently but couldn’t think of any obvious problems.
“Oh, no. Nothing’s wrong with the experiments. The project you participated in finally produced results. I wanted you to join me while we report everything to President Wade.”
Every time Professor Joe saw Iris, he couldn’t help feeling a pang of regret.
If he’d pushed the approval process a little harder back then…
Maybe she would already be studying at Capital University.
If she were actually a student there, asking for her help would be so much easier.
Losing that shortcut remained one of his greatest regrets.
“No problem. Should we head over now?”
“Yes. President Wade doesn’t have any appointments at this hour. It’s perfect timing.”
After changing into a fresh lab coat, Professor Joe left the research building with Iris and headed toward the president’s office.
Although Iris had technically come to present the report as well, Professor Joe did most of the talking while she quietly stood nearby.
Before they had gone very far into the presentation, the president’s assistant entered.
“President Wade, a couple is here to see you. They said they’d like to discuss making a donation to the university.”
Professor Joe immediately stood up. “In that case, we’ll come back later.”
“No need.” President Wade waved him down. “You two can wait in the lounge next door.”
He was puzzled.
Who made a donation appointment by simply showing up without scheduling ahead of time?
. Sull…
Although Capital University already had plenty of investors and donors, in President Wade’s eyes, there was no such thing as too much support.
He instructed the assistant to let them in.
“Miss Zero, look over here.”
Professor for pointed toward the electronic display mounted beside the door
