Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 762

"Is there a cash prize this time?"

The old lady asked excitedly.

"Not this time, but there might be a university scholarship at the end of the term."

"That's fine. You'll definitely be number one at the end of the term too."

"I'll borrow your good luck, Grandma. If I get the scholarship, I'll give it all to you for your card games. You can play as much as you want, buy whatever you want, and spend it however you please."

"Perfect. I'll be waiting."

Grandma Evelyn's eyes sparkled.

Anyone else listening might have thought she was broke and desperately relying on her granddaughter's pocket money.

"Rachel, I heard a new card room opened in our neighborhood. Is that true?"

"It is. If you want to play, I can take you tomorrow."

"Ah, not tomorrow. I'll wait until Mira gets her scholarship."

Rachel was speechless.

She desperately wanted to tell the old woman she'd just give her the money to play. It wasn't like Evelyn was actually broke—any single bracelet she wore was worth the price of a house.

But she couldn't say it.

Even Mira hadn't expected her grandmother's response.

"Grandma, are you out of money? I can transfer some to you right now. You can go play cards with Rachel tomorrow."

"Who wants your money? I have plenty of my own.

I specifically want to use your scholarship money so I can show it off to all the other old folks."

She stuck her neck out stubbornly, looking exactly like a smug child.

No wonder people said the elderly turned back into kids. Grandma Evelyn was the perfect example.

"Grandma, I still have the bonus money from when I was the top exam scorer..."

Mira ventured.

"Stop right there. That's old news. I've already bragged about that to all my friends. I specifically want your next scholarship."

Mira finally understood. Her grandmother was using this to motivate her.

"Alright, I'll do my best to win it for you."

Even if she didn't win it, she'd just use her own money and pretend it was the prize.

But Grandma Evelyn seemed to read her mind. "Study hard. Don't try to fool me when the time comes. I'll be checking."
