Chapter 467: 166: Viola being competed for by prestigious schools_5
Step by step, as if each one was stepping on piano keys, making one’s heartbeat quicken.
The beautiful woman held a cigarette in her hand, smiled, and greeted Jack Straw, “Brother Chen.”.
Jack Straw laughed, “Where does the big beauty, Evelyn, come from?”
The woman’s name was Evelyn Andrews.
A gentle name that didn’t quite match her stunning features and enchanting demeanor.
Evelyn was also a singer, having sung five songs in total.
Each one was a classic.
Two of them were the theme songs of a major hit TV series.
Her personality was like her songs – distinct, assertive, and hard to forget.
Evelyn took a puff of her cigarette, “Just killing time.”.
“Alright, I’ll leave you two to chat. I’ve got something to do.” Jack Straw said goodbye to Edward Thompson and then left.
Edward Thompson looked up at Evelyn, “Evelyn.”.
Evelyn, being 1.7 meters tall and wearing 10-centimeter heels, looked to be about the same height as Edward Thompson.
Upon hearing his words, she turned slightly and propped her right hand on the wall, looking straight at Edward Thompson.
Edward Thompson’s back pressed against the wall.
His heartbeat quickened.
Seeing Edward , Evelyn giggled. She put the cigarette in her mouth with her left hand, and her red lips holding the cigarette filter made Edward swallow hard.
Evelyn continued, “Do you smoke, Emperor Thompson?”
Upon hearing this, Evelyn laughed even more and blew a puff of smoke onto Edward’s face, “Emperor Thompson, why is your face so red?”
Lastly, she lowered her head and looked intently at Edward’s face.
Edward was very nervous.
Just as he thought Evelyn was about to kiss him, she suddenly removed her hand from the wall and turned around to leave.
Watching her retreating figure, Edward Thompson took a long breath and started coughing violently.
He was choked by the smoke.
Looking down, his palm was covered in cold sweat.
Suddenly, he remembered the first time he met Evelyn.
At that time, just like now, she had thick makeup, delicate smokey eyes, and slightly upturned eyeliner at the corners of her eyes. When she looked over like a clever cat, she stole his heart.
Since then, he couldn’t control himself whenever he saw Evelyn.
Edward Thompson really disliked women with heavy makeup.
Evelyn was an exception.
“Like her?” Jack Straw returned at this moment.
The sudden sound startled Edward Thompson.
Jack Straw laughed and patted Edward on the shoulder, “I didn’t expect you to type, Little Thompson.”
After finishing, he continued, “If you like her, go and chase her. With your good looks, are you afraid that the beautiful Evelyn won’t like you?”
It was well known that Evelyn loved to have fun.
Edward Thompson just smiled without saying a word.
He didn’t want to fool around with Evelyn.
Since she liked to play.
Wait for Evelyn to calm down.
This was also why Edward remained in the entertainment industry. It was only here that he could get a chance to see Evelyn and interact with her.
Several unfamiliar figures were seated in the living room.
They were the leaders of the top ten prestigious universities in Sinian Country.
They all hoped that Viola Thompson would attend their school.
Sawyer Thompson sat on the sofa, “Thank you all for your enthusiasm. We have already felt it. However, as for which university to choose, we’ll have to let Viola decide. As her parents, we’ll support her choice, no matter which school she chooses.”.
Upon hearing this, the leaders looked at each other, none of them spoke.
Finally, the principal of Capital University said, “Mr. Thompson, your second daughter is also studying at our university. She should be well aware of the situation at our school. It is absolutely right for Miss Thompson to choose our school. After all, we are a prestigious university with a hundred-year history.”
“Mr. Thompson, I think Miss Thompson is more suitable for our school. As long as Miss Thompson is willing to come, our school can meet all of your requirements.”.
“Our school can do that too!”
“Mr. Thompson, as long as you and Miss Thompson choose our school, we can waive all tuition and boarding fees. We will also provide Miss Thompson with a 1 million dollar scholarship every year!”
“We’ll offer 2 million dollars!”
The leaders of all major universities were arguing with flushed faces and thick necks.
Who doesn’t love talent!
Viola Thompson’s abilities were just too strong. The value she would bring to the school in the future was simply immeasurable with just 1 million or 2 million dollars.
“How about this? Mr. Thompson, our school can organize an invitation for you, your family, and Miss Thompson to visit our campus. You can have a look at our school’s environment, and even if you don’t choose our school in the end, it’s fine.”.
