7 have made up my mind,” Corbin said matter–of–factly.
H–Hold on, Dad. I don’t…”
“Shut up!”
“What about Bonnie…?”
Smack! His hand landed on his son’s head again.
Frankie wailed like a banshee.
As usual, Ivor came to pick Bonnie up from school when her class was over. They drove back to her villa
in Lenfield Resort
Ged, who was used to having free meals here, helped her out with setting up the dining table. Ivor gave him a frustrated sidelong glance, but he pretended he didn’t see it and continued helping Bonnie.
Ivor shook his head helplessly and looked at her instead. 1 heard that you have a new university president today. Did you see her?”
Raising her brows, she asked, “Why do you ask?”
“You might not like the answer.”
She noticed how he was stammering and took a guess. “Are you planning on sending her some gifts or something?”
He
glanced at her lovingly and said, “There’s no one else who knows me better than you do, Bonnie.”
She was used to such sweet words, and she wasn’t about to comment on that.
“Forget about it. Pyralis University is going to be a different place from here on out. They will not allow the wealthy and powerful to enroll their children through gifts or donations. This way, middle–class families will stand a chance at getting in as well.
“With that in mind, Pyralis University will clamp down on these loopholes. That’s going to prevent the ordinary family from selling away their entire properties or assets just to get their children into the university
Ivor’s eyes sparkled a little. “Listen to yourself. You sound more like a president than a student.”
“I’m just telling you the truth,” she said with a shrug.
Then, Ged chimed in, “My grandpa’s birthday is around the corner. How about you guys attend his party together?”
“When is it?” She asked.
Chapter 242
“It’s right after the holiday.”
She thought, ‘That reminds me, I have to take Ivor back to my hometown. I need to let Mom and Dad know who he is to me. It’s a good thing the party didn’t clash with my trip.
“With that said, Ged’s grandpa is also a professor at Pyralis University. I’ll have to be careful not to reveal my identity as the president.”
“What are we waiting for?” Ged said, “Hurry up and eat. Bonnie prepared the dinner tonight. I’m practically drooling now.” He couldn’t wait to taste her cooking.
“Go on.” She picked up the cutlery and was about to scoop some of the dips, but Ivor gave her a bunch of peeled shrimp.
“I peeled these for you. Go ahead and eat them.”
Ged clicked his tongue before he continued to eat the food.
Back in the Shepard Villa, Trina wore a distressed expression.
“What’s the matter, Trina? Why aren’t you eating?” Vera asked.
Trina’s eyes turned red immediately. “Did you see the official announcement made by Bonita Research
Institute, Mom?”
