The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 994

"It's mainly the freshmen who are really hoping you'd lead the team. It's what the students want, I'm just going with their wishes."

"So, you don't care about my wishes?"

"Bella." Grandpa Beck immediately grinned in a placating manner, "This prestigious competition is organized by ten universities in the college town, and it only takes place every four years. It's a big deal. The last time, and the time before that, and even the time before that, Westerly College didn't exactly come out on top."

Grandpa Beck looked slightly pitiful.

Arabella took one look and realized they were pretty far down the line.

"That's why all eyes are on you, our perfect-score top scorer! We need you to bring some honor to our college this time!"

Even if it's just leading the team!

Let the other universities saw that Westerly College wasn't at the bottom of the barrel among the top ten!

They had a shining star, too, this year's perfect-score top scorer, Arabella!

She hadn't competed before, so no one knew how well she would perform. Even if Westerly College didn't end up in the top ranks, at least people would think that their real powerhouse hadn't even made a move yet.

Arabella was slightly annoyed, "So, you just want me to be Westerly College's billboard."

"Don't you think it's a good thing if more outstanding students choose Westerly College? When they graduate and go out into the world, there will be more people to help those in need. Our medical research needs fresh blood to join in."

So she's old now.

"President Barton, are you in there? Did you hear what I just said?" Andrew knocked on the door cautiously.

The lab door opened, and President Barton, grinning from ear to ear, pushed Arabella out, "Our top scorer is here. Go on, and make sure you bring back at least a top-three prize this time!"
