Soon, President Charles responded, “That girl ain’t fond of studying You might only see her for four


days in four years, so don’t get your hopes up” President Barton retorted, “Ha! As long as I have all


these facilities, Bella will stick around for at least a year or two”


President Tanner said, “Unfair.”


President Mann said, “Shameless.”


President Nelson said, “Lowbrow”


President Charles said, “Scummy”


As they all huffed and puffed, President Barton was in high spirits. He sipped the coffee Arabella had


bought for him, hummed a tune, and enjoyed himself immensely.


Meanwhile, an elderly professor strolled onto the campus of Summerfield College and knocked on the


principal’s office door.


“Come in.”


The old professor sighed as he entered, “President Charles, what do you think young people are


thinking these days? Summerfield College is one of the best in the country, but this year’s top student


chose Westerly College. Why?”


“Don’t you get it?” asked President Charles with a smile.


“I really don’t.” The old professor was quite disappointed and slumped in a chair. He had personally


extended an invitation, but the girl had still refused him! President Charles continued his drawing and


said in a leisurely manner, “I told you not to go, but you went anyway. Now you’re upset because she


rejected you.” The professor looked up in surprise. “President Charles, how did you know she wouldn’t


come to our Summerfield College?”


“Look.” The president gestured to the wall behind him.


On the wall were photos of 66 top professors who were the best to ever grace Summerfield College!


Even he, the old professor, did not make the cut.


What did President Charles want him to see? Was he implying that he was not good enough and that


was why the girl had refused him? Just as he was about to ask for clarification, his eyes accidentally


landed on a young and beautiful face among the 66 top professors. “Is that Arabella?”


He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again. The face was indeed that of


the girl, and the name was correct!


The description said that the girl had finished her studies at Summerfield College two years ago and


had been made an honorary professor at the college.


“Even the professors who taught her felt inferior to her and addressed her as ‘teacher. She didn’t


attend many classes here due to her young age and personal affairs, but she aced all the final exams


every year.”


The old professor was dumbfounded, and after a while, he asked, “So, she graduated from


Summerfield College already? Then why did she take the college entrance examination again?”


“Ah,” said President Charles slowly, “she was a high school fresher then, but she also took college


courses. She graduated from Summerfield College in less than two years. As for why she took the


college entrance exam…”


It turned out that she was unappreciated by her parents in the Murphy family. She hoped to let her


parents know that her grades were not bad by taking the college entrance exam.


She wanted to earn a bit of attention and love from her parents by scoring full marks.


She knew that her parents cared about face. If her grades were the best, they might be proud of her


and even like her a little more.


But, destiny showed her that the parents of the Murphy family were not her biological parents.


Her parents did not believe in her, which is why she did not tell them she had started taking college


courses in high school and had already received her diploma from Summerfield College. Furthermore,


she did not enter Summerfield College via the college entrance examination. President Charles granted


her permission to study and take exams there, which was not part of the normal enrollment process.


However, her ability had surpassed that of other college students, so President Charles issued her a


special diploma from Summerfield College. All of this, however, was done in secret, and almost no one


knew.
