Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
The other teachers became anxious upon hearing this. He just said everything they wanted to say!
Mirabella knew the admission score for Morrowind College was never lower than 680, but she politely declined, “I’m sorry, I haven’t decided yet.”
The teachers from Morrowind College knew the chances of her choosing their college were slim, especially with professors from Helgen College and Summerfield College present.
But he didn’t give up. He immediately said, “If you change your mind later, you can contact me anytime. Here’s my card with my contact info. Do you need me to show you how to save phone numbers?”
Mirabella, though speechless, responded politely, “No, thank you.”
“Hey there, Mirabella I’m a professor We could really use a bright spark like you at our school. Have you ever considered enrolling with us? Whatever Morrowind College just offered, we can do it too Plus, there’s a $200,000 scholarship on the tabler
The crowd was stunned 200 grand? That’s an unprecedented offert
Even the national top students in the past only got around 20 grand in scholarships
But Mirabella was different. She was the only one to score full marks in the past seven years. The last one was Romeo, who aced the entrance exam at 15!
It had been seven years since anyone else had gotten full marks in the country!
And today, this honour was claimed by this girl.
“Sorry, I’m not interested in your school right now.” Mirabella politely declined
The professor felt bummed out and couldn’t help but ask, “Could you tell me why? Whatever Helgen College and Summerfield College can offer, we can match. Plus, our most famous professor, though retired, we’re confident we can persuade him to come out of retirement to personally guide you! Also, if you want to study abroad for a double degree during university, all the expenses will be covered by us.
The crowd thought this was a sweet deal!
Even Serena, on the side, was somewhat green with envy. She didn’t expect the professors to make such appealing offers, and they seemed really eager to recruit Mirabella.
Tve already got a school in mind.”
She wouldn’t say she was super keen, but because of an old friend, she was planning to attend his school.
“It’s Summerfield College, right?” The professor from Summerfield College, full of hope, said excitedly, “As long as you come to our school, you can choose any professor you want, pick your dorm, and the amount of scholarship is no problem at all!”
The crowd was gobsmacked by his grand promises. This offer was even better than the previous one! After all, some schools didn’t allow students to choose their professors, and there’s a scholarships limit.
“If you like doing experiments, we can even set up a private lab for you!”
Hearing this, even the servants‘ jaws dropped. That’s some serious cash!
A lab just for her.
Summerfield College really valued talent! They were willing to give such lucrative offers!
“Helgen College can offer all that too! Not just a lab, but also the piano room, research room, dance room, painting room, anything you’re interested in, we can provide!!”
The crowd was stunned once again. This was the first time they’d seen such prestigious schools going all out to recruit a student!
“Sorry, I’m more interested in Westerly College.”
“Westerly College?”
Not only were the professors taken aback, but even the family and servants were also dumbfounded.
While Westerly College’s reputation in the country couldn’t compare to Summerfield College and Helgen College, their admission score was always above 660, still 40 points lower than Helgen College and Summerfield College.
She scored 750. Shouldn’t she choose the best university?
What was she thinking?
When the professor from Westerly College heard the news, he was over the moon, “Mirabella, our principal has already said, whatever others offer, we’ll do our utmost to match. Also, the principal asked me to relay a message to you.”
Everyone eagerly looked at him, wanting to know what the message was. What else could allure this straight–A student to their school?
“Our principal said the school just bought a top–notch drug research device, H30, which is internationally renowned. I believe you’ll be interested.”
The device was a big ticket item that the principal splurged on just to lure Mirabella into applying for his school!
He shelled out five hundred million dollars!
The device was perched in his school, with only two of its kind worldwide, one in the National Research Institute of M Country and the other in his school!
This device could be a game changer, bringing about colossal transformations in drug research!
Mirabella gave a smile. The principal sure had some tricks up his sleeve, knowing exactly what she needed.
“The principal mentioned, apart from the H30, he’s also stocked up on other rare equipment in the school lab for you to use whenever you fancy! Plus, he’s thrown In another deal“”
Everyone was all ears. What was the deal this time? Mirabella seemed quite keen on the previous one.
“He’s saying it’s cool if you want to skip classes and do your own research. The school won’t give you hard time.”
In other words, she can come and go as she please. Feel like attending classes, go ahead. Don’t feel like it, no sweat. She’d still get full attendance at the end of the term
Such a sweet deal. It’s like every student’s dream come true!
Other teachers were grumbling about how crafty this move was. If students didn’t attend classes and went off gallivanting, what would they learn?
If the top student went there, they’d definitely slack off!
This deal was a total waste of such a bright talent!
“I choose Westerly College.” As soon as Mirabella said this, the other teachers sighed in disappointment and left shortly after.
The teacher from Westerly College was dumbfounded. The principal had quite the foresight to predict that Mirabella would apply to their school. His face was flushed with excitement, and he was all fired up!
He chatted non–stop with Mirabella and kept reminding her to spell the school name correctly when she applied before he left.
Once the teacher from Westerly College left, Serena’s face turned sour. She didn’t expect Mirabella to be so popular, let alone that she was daft enough to apply to Westerly College!
Kenneth and Louisa were about to shower their daughter with praise, but Edith beat them to it.
“Ms. Bella, the internet was down at home just now. Nothing to do, so I bet with Martha!”
Louisa’s attention was quickly diverted, “What bet?”
Mirabella was also surprised and looked at her.
“Martha thought Serena had a better chance of coming first, but I thought it would be Ms. Bella. The loser has to do all the housework today!”
“So, you won?” Louisa smiled, “Martha, it looks like you’ve got your work cut out for you today.”
“Not at all.” Martha gritted her teeth inwardly as she exchanged glances with Edith.
Edith gave her a smug look and said, “Hang on a sec, Ms. Bella, I’ve got something to fetch.”
Everyone was clueless about what she was up to until she came back with a pair of shoes and bent down to put them on Mirabella.
Mirabella was puzzled.
“Ms. Bella, you probably didn’t know. Someone just said if you came first, she would kneel down to shine your shoes!”
Edith looked at Martha with a triumphant smile, “Now that the shoes are here, you might as well help Ms. Bella put them on before you start shining them.”
Martha was taken aback that Edith would bring this up. As a nanny, she had a higher status than the other servants, but now, she had to shine shoes for Mirabella in front of all the servants.
How was she supposed to hold onto her dignity?
“You were all cocksure when you made the bet. Now you’re not gonna try to weasel out of it, are you? Edith said with feigned boredom. “If that’s the case, it’d be such a killjoy We won’t be betting with you anymore”
“You guys bet that big?” Louisa didn’t give a hoot, thinking they were just joking around. They’ve had little wagers among the servants before, all for fun.
“Martha, you always play favourites with Serena Did you think about the consequenons of making such a big bet?” Louisa chuckled. “Mirabella and Serena are both daughters of this house You can’t be biased You going to be fair to everyone!
