Chapter 31 Marve received her acceptance letter to Amenam University just a few days after the Scott family gathering.
Maeve becoming a postgraduate student at Amenam University was groundbreaking news within their community.
Everyone knew how prestigious Amenam University y was, and as a socialite who had never even glanced at a book about finance before, it seemed ridiculous that she made it in.
Maeve received a call froin Phil that very afternoon.
His tone was serious. âMaeve, is it true that you got into Amenam University?â
âOf course.â
Maeve had never planned on keeping it a secret to him. After all, it was impossible to keep secrets in their social circle.
He let out a sigh and said, âHow much money did you spend? Did Sergio help you?â
âI just managed to get in through luck. Sergio didnât help me.â
âSo you bought your way in?â Phil sounded furious and disappointed. âHow could you use the money Patrick left for you to buy your way into university? That was supposed to be for your future investments! I canât believe you!â
Maeve couldnât help but frown when she heard that. âDid you look at my transaction history?â
âIâI did it for your own good! Two billion dollars to buy your way into university? If news of this gets out, how are we supposed to face anyone? Arenât you embarrassed?â
Philip sighed heavily and said, âGo to Amenam University right now and ask for that money back. Youâre not going through with this.â
Philip had clearly made up his mind that Maeve had bought her way into university.
Maeve knew for sure that Sharon had been the one who told Philip to make the call.
She couldnât let anybody else know about that plot of land, and she also couldnât let Sharon get her claws on it.
She replied, âI canât get that money back, Uncle Philip.â
His expression darkened the moment he heard that she couldnât get the money back. âThen what do we do?â
âUncle Philip, I was the one who chose to go to university. Iâm part of the Scott family too, and I want to help since our business isnât doing well right now. Please trust that Iâll do well in my studies. I wonât let that money go to waste,â Maeve said gently, causing Philip to falter.
After all, the Scott family wasnât doing well. The money was also left to Marve, which meant no one else had the right to butt into how she used it. âSergio wants me to study too. He wants me to learn more about finance, and as the top university for finance, Amenam University is definitely the best. choice. There are also a ton of students there who are already established business owners. Even if you donât trust my decision, you should trust Sergioâs, right?â
Philipâs insistence seemed to waver when he heard that it had been Sergioâs decision.
âYou donât have to worry about this anymore, Uncle Philip. Those outsiders can say whatever they want. The lecturers at Amenam University said I had a lot of potential.â
Suspiciously, Philip asked, âReally?â
âOf course,â Maeve replied with a chuckle. âYou know how my results have been since I was a kid, right? Besides, itâll be good for our familyâs reputation to have a postgraduate student in Amenam University.â
Philip finally fell silent.
Being able to do oneâs postgraduate students in Amenam University at 21 years old was supposed to be a grand feat.
If Sharon hadnât suspected Maeve of buying her way in, and if it wasnât for the sudden disappearance of all that money, Philip wouldnât have made that call Maeve let out a cold scoff the moment Philip hung up She never imagined that Sharon would have her beady little eyes on her fatherâs inheritance so quickly.
She probably had just heard the news before urgently pestering Philip to check her bank statement.
It seemed like she had been planning it for a while.
Maeve called the bank. They picked up quickly and asked, âHello, Ms. Scott. How can we help you?â âI want to transter my money to another account.â
