At the Jensen residence, Shannon noticed that the house had been quite lively since morning.
It was the day the SAT results would be announced. Shannon's aunt, Annalise, had returned to the Jensen residence early on with her twin sons, Finn and Xavier Anderson.
Besides that, the other members of the Jensen family, including Adam and George, were waiting at home as well.
George valued his family very much. He would treat every major event in the family like a formal occasion.
So, everyone gathered here today for the SAT results which would be announced soon.
Quite several children from the Jensen family had sat for their SATs this year.
Annalise's younger son, Finn, would be studying overseas, and Cecily had bagged a guaranteed spot beforehand. Apart from those two, Shannon, Hank from Alex's family, and Annalise's older son, Xavier, had sat for their SATs this year.
Setting those aside, Hank had outstanding grades, so he was a popular candidate as the top scorer. The Jensens also wished to witness that moment together.
"How are the preparations going for Finn's studies overseas?"
George had watched Finn and Xavier grow up, so he cared about them as much as he cared about his grandchildren in the Jensen family.
Annalise was replying to a work message on her phone. When she heard George's question, she put away her phone and replied, "We're more or less done with the preparations. Lucas bought a house for him near his college.
"I've also asked some of my friends in the industry who live near the school to take care of him. They will look after Finn when he goes overseas."
Annalise was George's only daughter, but she surprisingly wasn't a spoiled child. On the contrary, she was even a little competitive. She had always been strong-willed since young, and she had strong opinions on how to handle things.
She was an assertive woman in the workplace, but she didn't force anything at home. Instead, she respected her children's decisions very much.
If not, Finn wouldn't be going overseas to study design, nor would Xavier stay behind to study film directing.
George never had to worry much about his daughter. He then asked about the older twin, Xavier.
Seeing that, Linda smiled and said, "Annalise has always had her own way of doing things. Still, the twins have been together since young. Will they have trouble getting used to it if they're suddenly separated?"
"They're all grown up now, and they have their own paths to take. They can't stick together all the time like they used to," Annalise replied indifferently.
"It's not too bad to be at Seastone University. It's closer to home, too," Cecily answered with a smile. Then, she looked at Shannon. "Shannon, are you going to Jamborough University or Seastone University? Why don't we go to Seastone University together? We can look out for each other."
Cecily had just finished speaking when Caleb, who was listening in, spoke up before Shannon could answer.
"The results aren't out yet. It's not like she can choose any college she wants to go to."
Since Adam was around, Caleb didn't dare to be too obvious with his mocking. But even though it sounded like an objective statement, Adam was a little upset when he heard it. Still, it wasn't appropriate for him to reprimand the younger generation in front of everyone else.
But Scott was different. He didn't fear anything.
He quickly retorted to Caleb, "You said that the results aren't out yet, right? How are you so sure that Shannon can't choose any college she wants to go to?"
Scott had been pissing Caleb off these days. Caleb was about to say something when he saw Thomas walking into the house with a slightly odd expression.
"Mr. Jensen Senior, an admissions officer is here."
