"Don't worry, I'll enter Seastone University with you."
Hank sounded extremely confident.
After all, not everyone could get a guaranteed spot. People like Hank, who believed that they could get good results, naturally didn't need any guaranteed spots.
When Cecily heard that, her smile grew wider. "I'll bake a cake tomorrow in advance to celebrate your success, then."
Hank looked elated when he heard that, but he said, "You just got discharged, so you should rest. Don't overwork yourself."
Cecily replied, "No, it's not too much work."
Beside them, Scott discreetly rolled his eyes when he heard their conversation. He decisively got up and went upstairs.
Cecily frowned a little as she watched Scott go upstairs. She felt pissed as she looked at Scott's affection level in the system, which barely passed.
She had tried to be friendly with Scott on a few occasions after returning home, but Scott never appreciated it.
Did he really not intend to acknowledge her at all?
At that thought, Cecily had a slightly foul look on her face.
Beside her, Caleb had been paying attention to her expressions. Noticing that she was upset, Caleb caringly asked if she was alright.
Cecily said casually, "I just felt a little regretful to have opted for a guaranteed spot. You only ever take the SATs once in your life. I should've taken the exam myself."
As she spoke, she looked at Hank and changed the topic.
"Hank's results are better than mine. I heard that if you get top grades in the state, major admissions offices will come knocking and give you invitations in person. It'll probably get super lively here tomorrow."
Hank smiled, looking nonchalant but also quite confident.
Even though people from families like theirs could opt for studying overseas, most people acknowledged the dividing line known as the SATs.
The Gray family was one such example.
…
The Quayles had hired hooligans to threaten Rachelle yesterday, but they accidentally got Shannon involved. So, Adam had asked his assistant to intercept a little yesterday.
"When your results are announced tomorrow, if you successfully get enrolled in Jamborough University or Liberty University, it'll prove that you're a student who has both good grades and behavior. Netizens always make an exception for good students. They won't keep criticizing you then."
Sheila sounded very sure of it. Rachel was stunned at first. Then, she asked with uncertainty, "Really?"
"Of course," Sheila said, "People are more forgiving toward talented individuals. Our utmost priority is to salvage your public image."
When that happened, Rachel wouldn't actually be sentenced even if the court intervened.
After Sheila explained the connections, Rachel's eyes immediately lit up. She seemed to have regained hope in an instant.
After all, even though her grades weren't at the top of the class, she would have no problems getting enrolled in major colleges.
At that thought, Rachel immediately began to look forward to the SAT results announcement tomorrow.
She even took the initiative to turn on her phone.
After all, if she was enrolled in a famous college, the admissions officers would definitely call her to inform her about it. She mustn't miss their calls.
