She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 335

Spurred on by Desmond's urging, Mrs. Gable finally looked anxious and immediately agreed. "Fine! I agree!"

She looked at Hulda. "We have a deal. You pay off all my family's debts, and then you send over living expenses and tuition every year!"

Seeing that Mrs. Gable had finally yielded, Hulda nodded quickly. "Yes, it's a deal."

She knew that the living expenses wouldn't all be spent on Katherine. But that didn't matter. As long as it improved the child's life, allowed her to attend school properly, and let her grow up normally, it was enough.

A heavy weight finally lifted from Hulda's heart. She was in such a good mood that she ate two large sandwiches at the government canteen that evening.

In the mountains, it got dark very early, and there was absolutely no nightlife.

But far away, in the bustling Aldercy City, the night was just beginning.

At that moment, Herbert and Sylvie had just arrived at Director Chambers' house with the two children.

As the department head, Director Chambers had always thought highly of Herbert.

"Herbert, you know I have very high expectations for you," Director Chambers said earnestly across the dining table.

Not only had he become an associate professor at a young age, but he was also on track to become a full professor in just a few short years.

Herbert nodded. "Thank you for all your guidance and support over the years, Director."

Director Chambers smiled and waved his hand. "I can't take the credit; you're simply excellent. The official recommendation date is coming up soon, so you need to prepare thoroughly. Your promotion to full professor is the priority right now. You can put other matters on the back burner for a while."

"Understood," Herbert nodded. Since they were jointly bidding on the institute project with Zenith Data, their chances of success had increased significantly. Everything was proceeding smoothly, and he didn't need to worry about it too much. He would focus entirely on his promotion for the time being.

"Of course, you're outstanding in your own right, and the students love you. This promotion is basically in the bag; it's just a formality." Having said that, Director Chambers shot a teasing look at Sylvie. "Isn't that right, Sylvie? Mr. Jewell's got nothing to worry about, right?"

As the department head, Director Chambers naturally knew Sylvie. After all, her grades had been exceptional back in the day, and she had been Herbert's direct mentee.

He just hadn't expected the two of them to end up together.
