Chapter 43
In their subconscious minds, Felicia came from a rough background. Her adoptive parents were nothing but lowlifes, and her good-for-nothing brother, Shawn, had dropped out early to dive into society to make money.
Given the environment, they assumed Felicia’s academic abilities must be poor. The schools she had attended must have been subpar. It was possible that she hadn’t even managed to get into college.
So even if Kayla didn’t suggest it, they would find a way to ensure Felicia attended the same prestigious college as her, to make sure they both got the best education.
Felicia replied calmly, “No need.”
Myra assumed Felicia was worried about the cost of donating a dormitory building and laughed. “It’s alright, Licia. This money is nothing compared to the great education you’ll receive. Your dad and I will do everything to support you.” “Felicia, are you worried about being teased by your classmates for getting in through connections? Don’t worry, I won’t let them make fun of you.”
Kayla was particularly enthusiastic, even trying hard to promote the idea. It seemed she genuinely wanted Felicia to attend the same college.
Felicia smirked slightly. She understood Kayla all too well.
Kayla’s eagerness for Felicia to join the same college was likely because there were already rumors swirling around the campus, and they hadn’t even started classes yet.
This kind of trick was something Felicia had already experienced in her previous life. To her, it looked like a bunch of clowns desperately seeking trouble.
As Felicia was about to speak, Dexter returned from his phone call. He looked bewildered, and a hint of disbelief crossed his face.
Myra couldn’t contain herself and asked, “What did Mr. Dickinson say? Did he refuse to accept Licia?”
“No, it’s not that…”
“Then is one building not enough? How many do they want?”
“Not that either…” Dexter seemed lost in thought.
Myra grew anxious. “Then what do they mean? Just tell us.”
Dexter’s gaze shifted to Felicia, his expression complicated.
Earlier, when he mentioned donating a building to help Felicia get in, Blake Dickinson had said, “Mr. Fuller, are you joking? Felicia scored first in the city to get into Khogend College.
She’s exceptionally talented, and since elementary school, she has been a student that was sought after. To be honest, we nearly fought with other colleges over her.”
Finally, Blake added a very cutting remark, “Mr. Fuller, as a parent and a father, how could you not even know your daughter’s grades? I understand you’re busy, but this is quite a neglect of your own child, isn’t it? Dexter felt utterly humiliated.
After hearing the details of the phone call, Myra gasped in disbelief and said, “No way…”
Kayla’s eyes widened in shock. She ranked third in her school, while Felicia was first in the entire Khogend. That was impossible.
In her shock, Kayla was the first to jump up and question, “That can’t be true. Did you bribe the invigilator?
“As far as I know, Howell and Tabitha wouldn’t let you attend school, and they didn’t pay a cent for your tuition. If you didn’t cheat, how could you achieve first place?”
Felicia raised an eyebrow and smiled. “How do you know your biological parents didn’t let me attend. school or pay for my tuition, huh?”
She hadn’t even said anything, and Kayla had already revealed so much. It was a classic case of putting her foot in her mouth.
Myra was stunned. “Is that true? How did I not know about this?”
After discovering that her biological daughter had been switched at birth, Myra immediately sought Felicia’s whereabouts. Once the paternity test results were confirmed, she even investigated Howell’s and his family’s background. She only found out they were lowlifes who specialized in scams and were avid gamblers. Beyond that, they knew nothing of Felicia’s upbringing
She wondered how Kayla knew all this.
