Destined to Rise – Chapter 106

Connected

“Are you worried about that? It’s okay, my English is good. If you need help, just ask!”

“Scarlett…”

Carson’s face was full of emotion.

Whitaker Scarlett thought, Brother, you blush so easily, how are we going to be classmates?

What other choice did they have? She scored 457 points on her second try.

Students speak with their grades. Greenfield County East High School quickly processed Whitaker Scarlett’s enrollment. She only showed up on the first day, assigned to Carson’s class, sending shivers down the spines of everyone in Class 3. They just shrugged it off and continued with their lives.

Whitaker Scarlett had her own review plan.

She only needed to appear regularly, take various exams, and let the school teachers know her grades hadn’t dropped.

Teachers George and others were still quite regretful, believing that if she studied full-time at school, she would achieve even better results next year. However, Whitaker Scarlett was firm in her decision, and she had also convinced her elders at home, so no one could do anything about it.

Seeing Parker Jace again was a little awkward.

Comrade Parker Jace had no major flaws, but his mother was incredibly high-minded, and Whitaker Scarlett didn’t want to be looked down upon by her.

She truly had no feelings for Parker Jace; it was simply a case of bad luck.

Parker Jace hadn’t heard his mother’s words at the time. His attitude towards Whitaker Scarlett remained warm. Whitaker Scarlett thought for a moment and dropped a hint: “I might stop delivering goods soon.”

The yellow eel business could last until November, but Whitaker Scarlett was ending it early, which Parker Jace certainly wouldn’t be happy about.

But what could Parker Jace say? Whitaker Scarlett hadn’t said she disliked him or that she didn’t want to make money; she was going back to school. Compared to running a private business, going to university was the right path. Parker Jace wanted to confess, but the words were stuck in his throat.

He only had a junior high school education.

His family was well-off, and his salary was good, but it depended on who you compared him to.

The children of true officials would never be allowed to only finish junior high, even if they encountered a year when the college entrance exam was cancelled. Without a degree, how could Parker Jace have gotten a purchasing job at the Yellow River Hotel?

Parker Jace’s family was considered quite well-off among ordinary urban workers, enough to look down on rural people, but it was just a little bit of power.

“Scarlett, I wish you get into your dream university! If you’re too busy, you can have someone else deliver the goods. I’m still a purchaser at the hotel, so this business won’t collapse.”

Parker Jace still wasn’t giving up.

He was leaving a memento, just in case Whitaker Scarlett didn’t get into university.

The person Whitaker Scarlett arranged to deliver the goods would likely be her uncle.

By building a good relationship with Whitaker Scarlett’s uncle, wouldn’t he also be connected to Whitaker Scarlett?

Parker Jace was quite proud, but definitely not stupid.

He had put it this way, so what could Whitaker Scarlett do?

Leaving the Yellow River Hotel, she couldn’t help but pat her face. This kind of preferential treatment based on her looks was something she wouldn’t have dared to dream of in her past life.

Parker Jace was wrong. William wouldn’t be delivering goods for Whitaker Scarlett indefinitely; he had his own family to support.

With Amanda and Elizabeth buying yellow eels everywhere, even the oil residue Whitaker Scarlett brought back could be sold by them, Whitaker Scarlett didn’t need to go to HarborfieldCity every other day. She concentrated on selling all the hundreds of kilograms of yellow eels she had at home. Since oil residue was in short supply in the countryside, she quickly recouped several hundred Dollars.

Elizabeth learned to ride a bicycle.

The supply channels were still maintained; who delivered the goods to HarborfieldCity didn’t matter. When Parker Jace found out that Whitaker Scarlett’s mother was delivering the goods, would he dare to be negligent? With other motives in mind, Parker Jace could only be more enthusiastic towards Elizabeth… he would listen to whatever she said, but he believed that his daughter’s most important task now was to get into university. No matter how good a partner was, could it compare to getting into university?

Partners could break up, but university graduates were guaranteed jobs.

Elizabeth had her own simple and crude, yet effective, values.

William was going on a long trip.

Before that, Wesley and those thugs were sentenced. The thugs who had blocked the road were sentenced to 20 years, while Wesley received a life sentence. Even if Wesley were beaten to death, he wouldn’t dare to falsely accuse Whitaker Scarlett of having a relationship with him again, adding a charge of hooliganism would change his life sentence to the death penalty!
