Chapter 389

Arabella flashed a smile, “Thanks. I was just doing my thing.”

Her teacher knew she had always been a brainiac. In the mock exams back at school, she’d ace all the

short answers, only avoiding essay writing and long responses.

But this time, she had to tackle the essays and long answers, so it was not surprising that she got a

perfect score.

“I know,” her teacher said. “If the total score was a thousand, you’d still ace it! You’re one smart cookie

and I’m sure you’ll do great things in the future. Maybe the principal will ask you to give a speech at

school to motivate other students. I hope you’d agree to it.”

“Certainly.”

After answering her teacher, Arabella received a news notification. Her story was blowing up online.

Underneath the news, loads of people were dropping comments. There were over 300k comments.

“This top student is dope! But why no photos?”

“If her grades are so good, she must be average–looking, right? Is that why the reporters won’t release

her photo?”

“Is she a short, chubby girl with a face full of pimples?”

“Ah, don’t ruin my image of a top student!”

“Does anyone know which university she has chosen?”

“I heard that this badass student turned down Summerfield College and Helgen College. Does she

have a better choice?”

“Are there even better schools than Summerfield and Helgen?

The admissions officer at Westerly College had just returned to school when President Barton put

down his teacup and excitedly said, “Quick, post the news that Arabella has agreed to come to our

Westerly College online, in case she changes her mind!”

Hearing this/the admissions officer was surprised, “Would she change her mind? I reminded her

several times before I left to choose our school and not to mess it

up.”

If she does change her mind, wouldn’t all the expensive lab equipment that President Barton bought be

a waste?

“What are you waiting for?”

“Yes, sir!”

Arabella was about to exit the app after browsing the comments, but then she saw another news.

“Top scorer chooses Westerly College” was suddenly trending at number one!

Did President Barton release the news so quickly because he was afraid, she might change her mind?

Sure enough, President Barton was gloating in the principals group chat, We’ll see Arabella every day

from now on, you old farts can be jealous!”

President Tanner said, “As if you’re not an old fart! Didn’t you invite me to be an honorary professor at

your school last time? I am free now, I am coming!”

President Barton replied, “Haha, no need now!”

He was swinging his legs in delight, humming to himself, and looking very pleased.

President Mann said, “Didn’t you invite me to give a speech at your school and use my success story to

inspire the students? I agree!”

President Barton replied, “I’ll have to think about that.”

President Nelson said, “You must be so bored at school, all by yourself with all those young people. I’ll

come and keep you company, keep you entertained!”

President Barton said, “Leave me alone, I have Bella. Stay away from me, if you guys come, I won’t

entertain you.”

Having said that, he deliberately mentioned President Charles, “Bella was only a nominal student at

your school, and a nominal professor after graduation. You hardly spent any time with her. But here,

she will be around, for real. For four years!”
