Elizabeth’s thoughts were quite simple; since they had rented that store for many years, and the mother and daughter were living in Grandma Johnson’s house, they wouldn’t be able to separate in the short term. Living under the same roof, they might as well get along well.
It was time for Whitaker Scarlett to go to school again.
She didn’t deliberately hide her whereabouts, strolling leisurely along the street in front of the school gate.
Maria had been waiting anxiously, staking out the place like a hunter waiting for prey. She had only managed to catch Whitaker Scarlett after several days. These days, she was so distracted that she couldn’t even concentrate when making food. Customers complained that the buns were either too salty or too bland, so Maria simply handed over that task to Rogers Lucia.
In snack shop, Maria was still the best cook. She had been running a snack stall in the county for three years, and even though her food was terrible at first, she had gradually improved.
For the sake of the shop’s business, Maria didn’t dare to slack off even as the boss. Her younger brother, Jude, was in charge of kneading the dough, Rogers Lucia did various odd jobs, and Maria controlled the flavor, deciding how much seasoning to add and the ratio of vegetables to meat. Maria had the most experience… but now, her mind was completely focused on Whitaker Scarlett.
She originally thought that finding Principal Ben would ensure that Whitaker Scarlett would be expelled, but who knew that she had delivered gifts to his door for nothing? The principal’s wife had even come to lecture them the other day.
Whitaker Scarlett had become a good student?
She even said that Whitaker Scarlett had overcome many difficulties to pursue her education, and that the Whitaker family should abandon their prejudices and help her more.
Maria was so angry that she almost had a stroke!
Help Whitaker Scarlett? She’d have to be crazy.
With this matter weighing on her mind, Maria couldn’t eat or sleep well. Could Whitaker Scarlett really become a college student? She asked Whitaker Albert to come up with a solution, but Whitaker Albert was also furious. Whitaker Scarlett and Elizabeth had even moved their household registration away, so the Whitaker family couldn’t control Whitaker Scarlett at all. Whitaker Scarlett didn’t rely on the Whitaker family for support, and she didn’t need them to help pay her tuition, so Whitaker Albert and Maria had no means of manipulating her.
“Should we get Whitaker Chris to step in?”
Whitaker Albert shook his head. His second brother wasn’t smart, but he wasn’t that stupid either.
Whitaker Scarlett wasn’t asking the Whitaker family for anything, and if she got into college, her biological father might even benefit. might be a blockhead, but he wasn’t an idiot. Why wouldn’t he want Whitaker Scarlett to go to school? Besides, Whitaker Chris couldn’t control Whitaker Scarlett anyway. That dead girl was too wild.
“Wesley from Techspire Village was sentenced to life imprisonment…”
Whitaker Albert was very regretful. Wesley had been lusting after Whitaker Scarlett for a long time. If he had gone to the school and made a scene, talking about his scandalous affairs with Whitaker Scarlett, she probably wouldn’t have had the face to stay at County East High School!
Besides Wesley, where could they find a suitable person?
The crackdown was still in full swing, and the street vendors were all behaving themselves, afraid of being reported. Not to mention those lewd hooligans who dared to harass women, they were all hiding, afraid of being caught by the police to meet the crackdown quotas.
“Maybe we should ask Rosalie for her opinion?”
Whitaker Albert and his wife had originally wanted to solve this matter themselves. They didn’t think they were fools. How old were they combined? Surely they could outsmart a mere girl like Whitaker Scarlett. But that’s exactly what happened. Ever since Whitaker Rosalie left her hometown to study in Washington, without her daughter’s advice, nothing they did went smoothly.
When Whitaker Rosalie borrowed Principal Ben’s influence, she didn’t give any gifts. Principal Ben took the initiative to offer his help.
Whitaker Albert had sent so many things to the Sun family, only to be criticized and lectured by Principal Ben’s wife. Maria had learned a few tricks from her daughter Whitaker Rosalie, but she was ultimately just a clumsy imitation. It was no problem for her to put on airs in the Whitaker family, but once she left Larkspur Village, her scheming skills weren’t enough.
“Let’s wait a bit longer. Ask Rosalie if she’s coming back for winter vacation first.”
A telegram couldn’t explain things clearly. Unless Whitaker Rosalie came back to see for herself, how would she know how much Whitaker Scarlett had changed?
