Chapter 642
Albert was a veteran He had always known that putting all his eggs in one basket and not having a backup plan was not the
wisest move
Over the years, he appeared to be on Reign’s side, but he had helped Philip by allowing him to have shares in the family company, considerable influence, and actual power.
He was also quite pleased to see Philip flourishing and becoming toore influential
When Philip was determined to compel Albert to agree with his idea, Albert felt very proud. He believed Philip was a promising student who showed character development and would do anything to achieve great things!
Because of this, Albert had made great efforts to protect Philip. He wanted Philip to endure this brief moment of humiliation and return stronger.
However, Philip’s behavior today truly disappointed Albert.
It turns out that Philip was just a helpless dunderhead!
“How wonderful it would have been if you were in charge…but sadly.”
Albert looked out of the window, feeling nostalgic and melancholy. He shook his head in disbelief.
After witnessing the demise of Philip and his father first–hand, he began to miss Reign’s father.
Albert wouldn’t have been worried at all if Reign’s father had been in charge of the company, He sighed deeply and looked at the time. He had a grave expression on his face.
Graham Walton gave him three days. Would he be able to solve this matter in three days?
“I must think of a solution, Albert expressed. He banged his hand on the table and fell into deep thought.
The following morning. Haylan woke up early. He went for his morning walk and bought breakfast and groceries for his family.
When he returned home with the groceries and breakfast, Felicia had also woken up.
When Felicia saw Haylan with the groceries and food, she looked at him in shock. She asked, “Why’re you up so early?”
Haylan chuckled and said, “I had nothing better to do, so I thought of doing you a favor. Should I expect you to buy groceries every time?”
“I always knew you were a sensible man. Put those groceries down. I’ll put them away. It’s Sunday. Do you have to go to work today?” Felicia asked with a smile.
“You don’t need to.”
Haylan smiled and nodded. He placed the breakfast on the dining table, put the groceries in the kitchen, and turned to leave.
Felicia abruptly said, “Wait a minute. If you don’t go to work today, please drop Queenie off at school when you’re done eating your breakfast“.
Haylan nodded and replied, “Sure.”
“Also, remember to slice up the wild ginseng you brought. Queenie needs to add it to her drinking water. Her SAT exams are coming soon, and she is under immense pressure. Water and ginseng will help her feel more energized, Felicia said.
“No problem,” Haylan said as he continued to nod.
There were 25 days left before Queenie wrote her SAT exams. She had been living in school to study better. She spent most of her days in three places, the dormitory, the cafeteria, and the classrooms.
Felicia missed her daughter dearly. Yesterday, she had asked Charlie to bring Queenie home. She made Queenie a delicious. meal and refreshments to ensure she was well nourished.
She was also worried that Queenie’s short visit would affect her study schedule. This was why Felicia decided Queenie had to return to school the next day.
Haylan picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth. He walked upstairs, knocked on Queenie’s door, and said, “Queenie wake up: it’s time for breakfast.”
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard her muttering something to herself. It sounded like Queenie was reading.
The muttering stopped abruptly. With a sweet voice, Queenie answered, “Okay, I’m coming.”
Moments later, Queenie opened the door smiling and said, “Brother, you’re early.”
“I’m not as early as you. You’re already up and reading while our brothers are still asleep,” Haylan stated.

“Ti there is anything that you don’t understand and have questions, feel free to ask me I did not write the SAT exams, but Im were high school questions won’t be too complicated for me. Haylan Jaber said
Queenie grinned and said. “Sure”
Haylan did not mention anything else and reminded Queenie to hurry and go downstairs for breakfast.
The two of them finished their breakfast Queenie grabbed her school bag and got into Haylan’s BMW They headed straight
to school
On the way to school, Haylan asked. “Queenie, what university do you want to attend?”
“I don’t know yet. It will depend on my exam score, Queenie uttered.
“Okay, do you have any thoughts on what you want to do? Or maybe I should say, what major do you want to study at university:**
Well____”
Queenie was stunned by Haylan’s questions. For a moment, she did not know how to answer his questions.
Her whole life, her parents taught her the importance of going to school, studying hard, and getting good results. They also told her the significance of attending a good university and becoming a valuable member of society.
However, she still did not know what she wanted to major in. Neither did she know what career she would pursue after graduation. She only knew how to study.
Haylan saw Queenie’s reaction to his questions and frowned. He did not ask her any further questions.
The domestic education system is exam–oriented. Schools don’t nurture students‘ interests and guide them to choose future.
careers.
Many high school students are clueless when it is time to choose a college major. They are more focused on getting high SAT scores than the thought of their careers.
Many people listened to their parent’s advice and chose majors their parents thought were good.
Once they entered society, most people realized that they didn’t like the majors their parents chose. Many people have lived unhappily, working a job they didn’t like with no passion and little success.
Some students halfheartedly enrolled in a major and were unfazed when they lost their jobs.
People have spent their entire lives looking for the path that leads to the best life, but they never find it!
Only a few college students knew what they wanted to become and had clear career goals. They were never lost!
Queenie seemed to be one of the lost students!
“What’s the point of school if some things that are taught can’t be used to help you in real life? Is this done to reduce the number going to college?” Haylan whispered.
Honestly, he felt that the domestic education system had a lot of disadvantages.
