Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 

To be honest, I could have better career prospects if I directly pursued a PhD after my undergraduate studies at Lincoln University. However, I wanted to be closer to my parents. 

Jesselton College was just my backup option. I didn’t think studying there was anything to boast about either. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given up Jesselton College and chosen 

Lincoln University for my undergraduate studies back then. 

I didn’t expect that studying at Jesselton College would make these wealthy mothers so proud. 

Perhaps in these socialites‘ minds, Jesselton College should only be reserved for the children of high–ranking officials or the wealthy elite. At least, someone as normal as me shouldn’t be studying there. 

It seemed that they had been looking down at me from the start. Perhaps in their hearts, I had seduced Matthew with my looks. They didn’t think I was as talented as their daughters. I 

didn’t deserve to study at Jesselton College, let alone date Matthew. 

Well, excellence and social status didn’t necessarily go hand–in–hand. In my eyes, they were only belittling me as they were jealous I was more talented and beautiful than their daughters. 

Jealousy was truly an ugly trait that could make one lose one’s elegance and poise. 

“Mrs. Johnston, Lulu is studying watercolor. Her artwork has also won major awards. She was originally offered direct admission to Lincoln University, but she chose to apply to Jesselton College as she wanted to be closer to Southsville. 

“She’s very talented. She got admitted to Jesselton College, top in her class.” 

Matthew sincerely praised me. This caused the two wealthy ladies, who were very proud of their daughters who were studying at Jesselton College, to be utterly ashamed. 

However, I didn’t feel joyful after seeing their embarrassed expressions. Instead, I felt even 

more burdened. 

Today was the Loxley family’s party. Matthew’s parents definitely didn’t want to offend their guests, especially for a nobody like me. 

As expected, Matthew’s parents frowned. They felt even more disdainful of me and sent 

scornful 

gazes my way.

“What’s the big deal? She can’t even afford to buy decent things for herself, Matthew, you bought the dress for her, right? I knew it. Women nowadays are too materialistic.” 

The woman watching the show tutted and shook her head. She made it seem like I was setting a bad example for all the women out there. 

Brenda glanced at me scornfully, causing me to feel angered. 

The woman’s words were extremely humiliating. 

It was not like I couldn’t afford to purchase a dress. Most of the time, I preferred to buy clothing that was comfortable and decent. I didn’t think that expensive clothes were the best.
