Chapter 944
Theo squinted his narrow eyes, revealing no emotions. He approached the table and drew out a dining chair to sit down on.
Putnam and Marissa turned their attention to Moran, who was speaking up for Ellinor.
Veronica also looked up at Moran, then glanced at Theo’s not–so–pleasant expression. She tugged at Moran’s clothing, indicating that he should pipe down.
Clearing his throat, Putnam questioned, “You said you could vouch for her? And how would you do that?”
Moran’s face was firm as he responded, “Ellinor scored exceptionally well in her college entrance exam. She was a brilliant student that every prestigious university wanted. It’s a well–known fact in our school that the president of Creston University personally approached Ellinor to invite her to study there. If, as the rumors suggest. Ellinor took someone else’s place to get into Creston University, she would’ve found it very difficult to keep up the facade of being an excellent student. But she continued to be a top student at Creston University, making all of us alumnus proud”
He continued, “When those hot topics cropped up yesterday, a lot of our alumni were puzzled. Many stood up for Ellinor online, but our voices got drowned out. If you don’t believe what I’m saying, you could send someone to our school to investigate or even verify it with our former president.” After listening. Putnam looked at Ellinor thoughtfully, then back at Moran, saying sternly, “I will send someone to Creston University to confirm whether or not your claims are accurate. We will not simply accept your word. If you are telling the truth, fair enough. But if you are not, we will not hire you!”
Moran wanted to say something else, but Ellinor interrupted him, “Moran, thank you for sticking up for me, but it’s breakfast time. Let’s eat.”
With that, she also drew out a chair, sitting down next to Theo, and started eating.
Moran frowned in frustration, “Ellinor, I…”
Ellinor calmly replied, “Moran, you’re here as Veronica’s tutor today. Just do your job and help Veronica with her homework. You don’t need to worry about anything else.”
Moran still wanted to speak, “But…”
Veronica handed Moran a glass of milk and pulled at his clothes to sit him down, “Moran, have some milk first!”
Theos expression wasn’t great. If Moran kept going, he could freeze someone with his icy gaze.
Unable to persuade her husband, Marissa had to lighten the mood herself. She laughed and said, “Ellinor, taste my seafood soup. How is it?”
Ellinor stirred the soup with a spoon, tasted it after allowing it to cool, and then nodded in approval, “It’s really good! Your cooking skills are as amazing as ever!”
Marissa was very pleased after hearing this.
Putnam, on the other hand, snorted coldly. “So young and already such a smooth talker!”
Ellinor gave Putnam a light look, smiled slightly, and chose not to respond.
