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. “Maeve, is it true that you got into Amenam University?” 
“Of course.” 
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, “How much money did you spend? Did Sergio help you?” 
“I just managed to get in through luck. Sergio didn’t help me.” 
“So you bought your way in?” Phil sounded furious and disappointed. “How 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 can’t believe you!” 
Maeve couldn’t help but frown when she heard that. “Did you look at my transaction history?” 
“I–I 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? Aren’t you embarrassed?” 
Philip sighed heavily and said, “Go to Amenam University right now and ask for that money back. You’re not going through with this.” 
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 couldn’t let anybody else know about that plot of land, and she also couldn’t let Sharon get her claws on it. 
She replied, “I can’t get that money back, Uncle Philip.” 
His expression darkened the moment he heard that she couldn’t get the money back. “Then what do we do?” 

“Uncle Philip, I was the one who chose to go to university. I’m part of the Scott family too, and I want to help since our business isn’t doing well right now. Please trust that I’ll do well in my studies. I won’t let that money go to waste,” Maeve said gently, causing Philip to falter. 
After all, the Scott family wasn’t doing well. The money was also left to Marve, which meant no one else had the right to butt into how she used it. “Sergio 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 don’t trust my decision, you should trust Sergio’s, right?” 
Philip’s insistence seemed to waver when he heard that it had been Sergio’s decision. 
“You don’t 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.” 
Suspiciously, Philip asked, “Really?” 
“Of course,” Maeve replied with a chuckle. “You know how my results have been since I was a kid, right? Besides, it’ll be good for our family’s reputation to have a postgraduate student in Amenam University.” 
Philip finally fell silent. 
Being able to do one’s postgraduate students in Amenam University at 21 years old was supposed to be a grand feat. 
If Sharon hadn’t suspected Maeve of buying her way in, and if it wasn’t for the sudden disappearance of all that money, Philip wouldn’t 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 father’s 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, “Hello, Ms. Scott. How can we help you?” “I want to transter my money to another account.”
