"I'm sorry, I..."
Tears were on the brink of spilling from Nichole's eyes, but this time, James was determined not to soften his heart.
"You should know the rules at Eastwood College. If your grades slip like this again and you fail to make the top ten in the department, you will lose your scholarship and will have to pay the full tuition yourself."
Nichole had always been aware of this rule, but she never imagined these words would come from James.
Stunned, Nichole stared at James, momentarily lost for words.
James’ message was clear: if her grades continued to fall, he would no longer help her, nor would he assist her in staying at Eastwood College. She would have to bear all expenses herself.
"Mr. Burke, I'm sorry. It won't happen again," Nichole quickly capitulated.
Currently, all of Nichole's expenses at Eastwood College were charged to James’ account, and on top of that, James provided her with a monthly allowance of $3,000 so she didn’t need to work and could focus on her studies.
However, losing this support meant she would have to find a job. The tuition fees at Eastwood College were exorbitantly high. There was an annual tuition of $90,000, and with housing and other miscellaneous fees, the total cost per year was $120,000.
She could never earn that much money on her own.
"Good that you understand," James said, diverting his gaze. "Go back now. Study hard. If the grades in next month's exams are still unsatisfactory, you'll have to figure things out yourself."
Nichole got out of the car, her expression dazed. She couldn't bear to think about surviving without James’ support.
James’ car pulled up to the entrance of Eastwood College. Through the car window, he could see the upscale residential area across the street.
"Stop here."
Colt halted the car and asked, "Mr. Burke, are you going to see Mrs. Burke?"
From the rearview mirror, James gave Colt a sharp glance, silencing him immediately.
James noticed that the lights were still on in the apartment as he dialed Sophie’s number.
