Chapter 36
As Gerard mentioned, Gordon, as Carlisle’s father, understood Carlisle’s academic performance better
than anyone else.
After Carlisle ate and drank his fill, he retreated to his room to rest.
He laid on his bed and logged onto the MSN messenger on his phone.
Wanda still hadn’t accepted his friend request.
He sighed helplessly and retrieved the pink letter hidden beneath his pillow, reading it once more.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious mansion, Wanda sat in front of her desk in her pajamas. There was an LCD desktop computer on the desk.
The cell phone on the table rang.
“Zac,” she answered.
“Your results are in. You scored 1350!” Zachary’s voice lacked excitement, tinged instead with a hint of
anger.
Given Wanda’s academic performance, she could have scored above 1450.
A score of 1350 wouldn’t secure her a spot in any Ivy League universities.
Wanda blinked her lovely eyes and exclaimed, “That’s not bad. I can still get into Riverland University!”
Zachary almost exploded with anger. He sternly interrogated, “Tell me, are you seeing someone? Are yo

planning to stay in Riverland for some guy?”
“Zac, what are you talking about? This year’s SAT questions were exceptionally challenging. Being able to get into Riverland University is already quite an achievement!” Wanda said with an aggrieved voice.
Zachary sighed, “Never mind, do as you wish. After all, you are my one and only sister.” He chuckled bitterly, tinged with a sense of resignation.

“What is it?”

With Zachary’s sharp intellect, it wasn’t difficult for him to discern something.
Zachary fell silent for a morfent. “Carlisle, that brave kid from last time? You’re quite intrigued by him,” he remarked coldly.
Back then, when Carlisle got beaten up, Zachary noticed that Wanda seemed very concerned.

It wasn’t the usual concern between classmates. It felt more like that of lovers
“Zac, don’t talk nonsense. Carlisle is just a student I tutor. I’m only curious to see if he’s improved.”
Wanda made exeuses.
“I’ll check it later. I suspect the exam papers haven’t been graded yet. We don’t have any connections at the Education Bureau. It took me a lot of effort to expedite the grading of your papers,” Zachary sald
coldly.
“Alright then,” Wanda pobited, disappointment evident in her eyes.
“Give me three days. I’ll tell you that kid’s results in three days!” Zachary was overly indulgent to his sister. He couldn’t stand to see her upset.
Wanda suddenly felt uplifted by Zachary’s promise. “Thanks, Zac! You’re the best!”
Time passed quickly.
In just over twenty days, the day for the release of SAT results arrived.
Back then, the internet wasn’t as advanced. The candidates had to visit the school to check their scores.
As fate would have it, Carlisle and Sean ran into Sienna and Sarah at the school gate.
“Carlisle, are you here to check your scores too?” Sarah asked.
She w
wore a short–sleeved shirt and extremely short shorts. Her fair and long legs captivated anyone who
saw them.
“Yeah,” Carlisle replied calmly.
Sarah chuckled and asked, “If you don’t pass, will you retake the exam?”
“There are no ‘ifs‘ involved, Carlisle stated calmly, then strode into the campus.
Sienna snorted loudly from behind and said, “I hope you won’t walk out of the school crying!“”
Carlisle didn’t bother to respond.
Instead, Sean turned around and quipped, “You’ll be the ones crying later!”

Sienna immediately retorted, “Sean, I bet you won’t even get into a Tier 3 university!”
Seeing Sean ignore them, Sienna stomped her foot in anger. “Sarah, look at them.”
Sarah hook her head and chuckled. “How could people like them possibly get into university? They’re

Suddenly, Sienna said, “Sarah, perhaps you shouldn’t be so cold toward Carlisle. He’ll definitely go to work if he doesn’t get into university. That way, you won’t have to worry about finances when you attend university!”
