Chapter 65 Offer
William was puzzled. If Isabelle scored better than the state’s top student, why didn’t she become the top- student herself?
Ethan was still in shock at Isabelle’s scores. She didn’t write the essay, he thought to himself. If she had. there wouldn’t be a competition for the top spot.
“Principal Burton, why are you here in person? This is the first time I’ve seen you personally recruiting students. All of the admissions officers were curious.
The exams were indeed tough this year, but even if this student scored a perfect 750, it didn’t seem rare enough to warrant the principal of Taragon University coming personally.
“Last month, my old man had a relapse and almost died in the street. Ms. Jenkins saved his life. Today, I’m here to welcome her to Taragon University and express my gratitude to her for saving my father’s life. I brought my father with me; the Vice Principal, who is also the Dean of Taragon University’s Medical School, will be coming too, Magnus declared, hoping the other admissions officers would back off.
The rest were shocked to learn that Isabelle knew Principal Burton privately and had such a significant favour to her credit.
When he heard that she had saved the principal’s father’s life, William hadn’t even fully processed Isabelle’s scores being better than the state’s champion.
“The Medical School? This student scored perfect marks in math, physics, and chemistry. Isn’t it a waste to send her to medical school?” An admissions officer asked, thinking it was a waste of her talents.
“You don’t understand,” Magnus waved them off and said, “You all can go home now. Ms. Jenkins has already told me she’s committed to Taragon University.
*Principal Burton, we haven’t even seen her yet. Isn’t this a bit…?”
Those were empty words without proof.
“You don’t believe me? Magnus turned to question William and Ethan.
responded honestly, “Isabelle did say she wanted to go to Taragon University.”
Magnus said with a smile, “Did you hear that?”
“But students can change their minds,” they protested, unwilling to give up. “Principal Burton, we al respect you, but in the matter of recruitment, it should be about skills.”
“Fine, just so no one accuses me of bullying. But let me remind you, if Ms. Jenkins agrees to join my medical school, I will personally give her a house in Taragon in any location she chooses.”
At this point, everyone who was eavesdropping widened their eyes in shock.
A house in Taragon?
Any location?
That could easily be worth six million!

The admissions officers felt their hearts sink. They couldn’t compete with that kind of offer.
In no time, three or four of them left.
Magnus nodded in satisfaction. He leisurely asked Ethan for Isabelle’s phone number.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t get through.
Meanwhile, George had just returned to the hotel and was still in the lobby when he received a call from Magnus.
“Guess where I am?”
“Someone is in a good mood today.”
Magnus chuckled and said, “Remember the young lady who saved me? I’m at her house now,” he said, waiting for the Dean of the Medical School.
George raised an eyebrow.
“Do you know her college entrance exam score?”
“How much?”
“690 marks, ranked 12th in the whole state for the science stream.”
“Not bad, George replied.
“Wait, there’s more. Do you know why she only scored 690?”
“What do you mean?” George asked as he entered the elevator.
“She didn’t write the essay!” Magnus’s voice was full of excitement.
So, she got everything else right except for the essay?
Gee wasn’t too surprised by her scores.
it was something Isabelle could do.
Magnus continued, “I didn’t know who else to share this with, so I called you. After all, you and I are the only ones who have met her. You must understand my excitement.”
As the elevator doors opened, George took out his room key.
Magnus continued, “It’s a pity, though. She’s out of town, and I can’t reach her by phone.”
Entering the room, George saw Isabelle sitting on the couch with her laptop. He walked over and sat on the other side of the couch.
He told Magnus, “She’s with me.”
Magnus paused and asked, “What did you just say?”
George replied. “She’s right next to me. Do
