The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 917

The woman lifted her head from her daughter's shoulder, wiping away tears with her sleeve. "Go ahead, ask whatever you want! Let's see how you deny this one!"

Ellinor chuckled. She was as cool as a cucumber. "You said your daughter is an outstanding student that was recognized by the entire school. So, why not have her repeat a year and retake the entrance exam, since you didn’t know her scores or get a fair explanation from the school?

If your daughter is as brilliant as you claim, she could easily get into Creston University, or even better ones, after another year of preparation. Even if she doesn't do well on the exam, she could still attend a vocational school. It's not like she has to come back home to plow the fields with you at such a young age, right?"

The woman's face turned a shade paler, and then she shot Ellinor an angry glance. "You make it sound so easy. Don't retakes and vocational schools cost money? Our whole family has been working our butts off for her entrance exam, hoping she could change her destiny, but you're the one who's benefiting!"

Ellinor retorted, "Well, university costs money too! By your logic, it seems like you wouldn't want to spend money on your daughter's education even if she did get into university."

The woman declared firmly, "My daughter is a great student. If she gets into a university, she'll definitely get a full scholarship. It'll be free!"

Ellinor laughed.

The woman snapped, "What are you laughing at?"

Ellinor waved her off, not interested in arguing further. "One more question for you. You said I didn't show up for the exam. Any proof? Why wouldn't I go if I wanted to attend university?"

The woman scowled, "Clearly because you're not a good student. You wouldn't have passed even if you went! Plus, you've got a rich boyfriend. His family can protect you. You knew you could get into Creston University no matter what, so you thought you were invincible."
