Chapter 42
So what if Kelly scored 1225?
Carlisle gave Hilda a few gentle pats on the back. “You and Dad can breathe a sigh of relief now, can’t
you?”
Gordon chuckled as he passed Carlisle’s transcript to Fletcher. He pretended to be confused and asked, Mr. Moore, please take a look at this for me. My son’s results are quite average, right?”
Fletcher received the score report in his hands and scanned through it.
He shuddered when he saw the score of 1400.
“A score of 1400? This… This is unbelievable!”
Fletcher stared at Carlisle in disbelief, Kelly had achieved high scores every year. Yet, she only got a
score of 1225. How was Carlisle able to score 1400 points?
“Mr. Moore, everyone’s waiting for you!” Gerard shouted from the window on the third floor of the hotel
opposite.
“Okay, I’m coming!” Fletcher replied.
Hilda saw that her family members had arrived. She walked over proudly to welcome them. She puffed
her chest out and strutted with her head up high.
Fletcher fixed his eyes on Carlisle and questioned, “You didn’t fake this, did you, Carlisle?”
He couldn’t believe that Carlisle could achieve such a score. So, he could only theorize that this transcript.
was forged.
At that moment, Sarah approached him and said, “Excuse me, Sir. We watched the teacher give out Carlisle’s score report. He didn’t forge it!”
“Yes, we can attest to that!”
“That’s right. You shouldn’t accuse others like that!”
“There are quite a number of people who are like that. In short, they just can’t bear to see others being
successful!”
Carlisle’s classmates exclaimed one after another.
Fletcher was at a loss for words. His hands were trembling as he held onto the transcript. He forced a
smile and returned it to Gordon.
“I misspoke earlier, Gordon. Please don’t take it to heart!”
Upon saying that, he pulled out a 100 dollar bill from his other pants pocket. “This is the congratulatory money from me!
Initially, he had prepared the 100 dollars for Kelly.
But Carlisle had now gotten into Riverland University. He had a whole future ahead of him. So, he needed to seize this opportunity to build a good relationship with them.
“What did you say earlier, Fletch? I don’t remember it anymore.”
Gordon wasn’t a petty person either. They were all from the same village and would come into contact with each other whether they liked it or not.
Moreover, Fletcher was the head of the village. It wouldn’t be good to have a falling out with him.
Fletcher laughed. He patted Carlisle on the shoulder and praised him.
“You’re a good kid. I always knew you were an outstanding one. As expected, you didn’t disappoint me.
You’re making us at Helios Village proud of you!”
This was a period of time when those who lived in farm villages were very poor. Those who wanted to go
from rags to riches had to put their hopes on those college students.
Right at that moment, Gordon’s PHS phone rang.
He took out his phone and answered it. The caller claimed to be a reporter from Riverland TV Station. They wanted to interview Carlisle.
After getting Carlisle’s agreement, Gordon informed the caller of their location.
On the third floor of the hotel opposite the street, 15 tables were filled with guests. Everyone was congratulating Gerard.
Gerard and Maria were smiling from ear to ear. As for Kelly, she was looking proud. After all, she was the only college student in all of Helios Village.
“Why isn’t Fletch here yet?”
“He went opposite to congratulate them!”
“He’s the only one who believed that Carlisle qualified for college!”
“He believed that Carlisle qualified for college? I’d rather believe that pigs
ins will
fly!”
The snobbish villagers from Helios Village chattered with one another.
Maria whipped out a Blackberry and took a look at the time. Then, she urged Gerard, “Why hasn’t Mr. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Moore arrived?”
Gerard was also frowning. He then said, “Kelly, go over and summon Mr. Moore!”
He knew that Fletcher liked to be lifted up on a pedestal. At the end of the day, he was the village head.
He had to show him respect.
“Okay Kelly nodded obediently before walking out of the hotel.
