Destined to Rise – Chapter 98

Drenched

They pedaled furiously, arriving in Wellwater village drenched in sweat. Carson knocked for a long time, but no one answered the Miller Family’s door.

It turned out that William was planning a trip in a few days and wanted to help Whitaker Scarlett before he left. Now that the autumn harvest was over, after sending Michael to school, all three adults went out to collect eels for Whitaker Scarlett.

Although they delivered about 100 kilograms of eels to HarborfieldCity every other day, they already had hundreds of kilograms stored in their water tanks.

Whitaker Scarlett was short on cash and couldn’t afford to buy meat and ribs every day. Their family mainly ate loaches, which were cheap and easily caught while collecting eels.

The two teachers waited until their throats were parched.

Carson took the teachers to his house for water and rest.

A teacher home visit!

Carson’s family almost treated the two teachers like gods. Uncle Daniel gave the order, and Carson’s mother was about to slaughter a chicken and buy meat, but George quickly stopped her: “We’re not here for a meal. We just want to find Whitaker Scarlett as soon as possible. Every day we delay might cost her a few points. That’s unacceptable!”

George was wholeheartedly dedicated to his work.

Even Uncle Daniel’s hospitality couldn’t change that.

“Scarlett is a sensible girl. Her family isn’t well-off, but thankfully, she’s still striving to improve herself.”

Uncle Daniel then sent someone to find William.

William was so excited that he knocked over the basket of eels:

“Scarlett passed the exam? She can really go to university next year?”

Eels were crawling all over the ground, but William didn’t care.

Money was important, but in the long run, a little money meant nothing. If Whitaker Scarlett could go to university next year, it would change her life!

George patted William on the back, reassuring him:

“She still has a few months left. If Scarlett studies hard, a bachelor’s degree is within reach.”

Normally, informing the family of Whitaker Scarlett’s exam results and asking her to report to County East High School would have completed the teachers’ task. But last year, only 8 students from County East High School got into university. George wasn’t exaggerating; he genuinely valued Whitaker Scarlett as a promising student.

He wanted to meet Whitaker Scarlett.

This desire was so strong he couldn’t wait until tomorrow.

William slapped his thigh, “Scarlett went to HarborfieldCity to deliver goods…”

“Then let’s go to HarborfieldCity.”

Teacher Sophie was also incredibly curious. She also wanted to meet Whitaker Scarlett and give her some advice!

Whitaker Scarlett stayed longer in HarborfieldCity today.

With hundreds of kilograms of eels stored at home, Whitaker Scarlett was anxious. Storing them for a few days was fine, but if they got thinner, she would lose money. Besides, hundreds of kilograms of eels tied up a lot of capital. If she didn’t sell more, she wouldn’t even have the money to buy more eels! She had spent all the money from selling oil residue on buying eels. Today, she carried an extra hundred kilograms, rushing to the south and north farmers’ markets to sell them early in the morning. She also went around asking restaurants and noodle shops if they wanted to buy eels. It was noon before she finally turned the extra eels into cash, stuffing it into her pockets.

She had wasted half a day. If she went to deliver the goods now, she would be late.

At the Yellow River Hotel, Parker Jace knew Whitaker Scarlett would definitely come today. They hadn’t set a specific delivery time; Whitaker Scarlett delivered goods every other day without fail. Even when she had something to do, she had her uncle deliver the goods. Whitaker Scarlett’s business integrity was evident.

Parker Jace’s mother was quite annoyed. She was a person of some status and planned to meet the little vixen who had captivated Parker Jace.

Parker Jace’s mother dressed meticulously, from her clothes and shoes to her carefully styled hair. Her composed demeanor clearly set her apart from ordinary workers.

Parker Jace, a mama’s boy, thought his mother valued Whitaker Scarlett, but she actually intended to intimidate her.

However, as time went on, Parker Jace’s mother’s confidence waned. Whitaker Scarlett hadn’t even appeared yet, and it felt like Whitaker Scarlett had already intimidated her. When Whitaker Scarlett appeared in sight, riding her bicycle, Parker Jace’s mother’s eyelids twitched wildly:

No, no, she’s even more alluring than she imagined! The Parker Family can’t afford such a vixen!

A full, heaving bosom, a waist so slender it could snap with a pinch, a fair, delicate face, and a pair of captivating eyes.
