Chapter 43
Originally, Gerald–made a reservation for eight tables. However, almost all the villagers from Helios Village had gone to the other side of the road, so he had four empty tables.
Coincidentally, Carlisle’s schoolmates were able to fill the empty seats.
At this time, Carlisle was seated in front of Riverland TV Station’s camera, preparing to be interviewed. The reporter held Carlisle’s score report in her hands.
The shock was evident all over her face.
She could not believe that Carlisle was the student who submitted his exam papers within 30 minutes. He
even managed to get into university.
Not only that, but he achieved a score of 1400.
“Isa, it’s almost time…” prompted the cameraman. He was done setting up the camera.
Isabelle Clarke took a deep breath. Her mocking look had disappeared. She calmed down, adjusted the microphone, and began interviewing Carlisle.
“Good afternoon to all our audience who are watching and listening in. I am your longtime friend, Isabelle
Clarke.
“We interviewed a student before the end of the SATS. I believe that all of you remember that student
who always used on
30 minutes to hand in his papers, right?
“Today is the day the SAT results are announced. We’ve contacted this student and will interview him!
Isabelle was giving her opening statement eloquently while facing the camera.
Kelly arrived in front of the private room and bumped into Fletcher, who was walking out with a cigarette
between his lips.
“Uncle Fletcher… The party is about to begin. We’re waiting for you before we start eating!” Kelly smiled
sweetly.
Fletcher took out another 100–dollar bill from his pocket. He smiled perfunctorily and said, “Kelly, Carlisle has also qualified for university. It doesn’t matter which party I attend. Here’s my congratulatory money.
for you. Keep it…”
“What? Carlisle got into university, too?” Kelly widened her eyes and asked.
She didn’t know what to say. How could he have qualified? What made him qualify? Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Fletcher then continued, “Not only did he get into university, but he was accepted by Riverland University!”
Kelly felt like she had been struck by lightning. Her face ran pale. She couldn’t believe that Carlisle was accepted into Riverland University.
She wondered, ‘H–How is that possible?
She snapped back to her senses in a flash. In a shaky voice, she asked, “Mr. Moore, you’re pulling my leg. aren’t you?”
Fletcher sighed. “A reporter from Riverland TV Station has even come here to interview him. Go in and have a look for yourself!”
After shoving the 100–dollar bill into Kelly’s hands, Fletcher went to look for a waitperson to ask where the
toilet was.
Kelly walked into the private room. There were many people standing around the sofa by the window.
She walked on over and tiptoed to take a look.
She saw a reporter facing the camera. She had a transcript in her hands as she introduced Carlisle’s results.
“To our audience watching this right now, do you see this? These are the results of that student who always only used 30 minutes to complete his exam–a score of 1400.
“According to our interview with him, the only university he filled in on his college application was Riverland University. And this score of 1400 has exceeded Riverland University’s admission score by 60
points!”
The Youngs gasped.
Before this, they had come for Carlisie’s college entrance party with doubt. They assumed that he was just lucky to get into a Tier 3 university.
Much to their surprise, he had achieved a score of 1400. This was 60 points more than Riverland
University’s admission requirement. With a score like this, he could probably also get into an Ivy League
school!
Carlisle’s schoolmates looked at him in admiration.
At the same time, Sarah was feeling very conflicted. She was pondering on whether she should accept
Carlisle’s confession.
Carlisle was now being interviewed by a broadcasting station. He was certainly going to catch the
attention of some businesses. He definitely had a bright future ahead of him.
Kelly returned to the hotel opposite, looking dejected.
The moment she entered the hall, everyone directed their gazes toward her.
Gerard furrowed his brow and asked, “Where’s Mr. Moore?”
Kelly looked pale. She shook her head. She wanted to speak up, but the lump in her throat stopped her from doing so.
Marid could tell that Kelly didn’t look too good. She went up to Kelly and asked, “Are you alright, my dear?”
“Carlisle got into university…” Kelly finally uttered in a shaky voice.
Maria’s jaw dropped. “What? He managed to get in?”
