Chapter 917
The woman lifted her head from her daughter’s shoulder, wiping away tears with her sleeve. “Go ahead, ask whatever you want! Let’s see how you deny this one!”
Ellinor chuckled. She was as cool as a cucumber. “You said your daughter is an outstanding student that was recognized by the entire school. So, why not have her repeat a year and retake the entrance exam, since you didn’t know her scores or get a fair explanation from the school?
If your daughter is as brilliant as you claim, she could easily get into Creston University, or even better ones, after another year of preparation. Even if she doesn’t do well on the exam, she could still attend a vocational school. It’s not like she has to come back home to plow the fields with you at such a young age, right?”
The woman’s face turned a shade paler, and then she shot Ellinor an angry glance. “You make it sound so easy. Don’t retakes and vocational schools cost money? Our whole family has been working our butts off for her entrance exam, hoping she could change her destiny, but you’re the one who’s benefiting!”
Ellinor retorted, “Well, university costs money too! By your logic, it seems like you wouldn’t want to spend money on your daughter’s education even if she did get into university”
The woman declared firmly, “My daughter is a great student. If she gets into a university, she’ll definitely get a full scholarship. It’ll be free!”
Ellinor laughed.
The woman snapped, “What are you laughing at?”
Ellinor waved her off, not interested in arguing further. “One more question for you. You said I didn’t show up for the exam. Any proof? Why wouldn’t I go if I wanted to attend university?”
The woman scowled. “Clearly because you’re not a good student. You wouldn’t have passed even if you went! Plus, you’ve got a rich boyfriend. His family can protect you. You knew you could get into Creston University no matter what, so you thought you were invincible.”
Ellinor took a sip of her coffee, “Without proof, it’s all just talk. I could sue you for defamation.”
The woman clenched her teeth and fell silent. After a while, she looked at Ellinor and then her daughter with a determined expression.
“Ellinor, I was trying to leave you some dignity, but don’t push me to spill all your dirty laundry!”
Ellinor shrugged off her threat with a laugh, “I don’t need your protection for my dignity. Let’s hear it.”
The woman pointed at her accusingly, “Because a few days before the entrance exam, you had an abortion. You were still recovering, so obviously, you couldn’t go!”
Marissa frowned deeply at this revelation, “An abortion?”
The woman nodded at Marissa, “Yes, Marissa. Ellinor has had an abortion, and I heard it’s not her first time either!
She was young back then, but she didn’t have a good reputation. She even had a rich boyfriend!
But his parents didn’t approve of their relationship. Ellinor used her pregnancy to threaten his parents. In the end, she promised to get an abortion, and his father would use his connections to get her into Creston University. In the end, she got what she wanted!
In reality, she was often hanging out with some shady characters. We can’t even be sure if the child’s father was her boyfriend!”
