Faulkner Family Old Residence.
Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner had changed their clothes; both were wearing little suits, looking both formal and handsome.
With Eleanor Sterling achieving first place, they naturally wanted to celebrate together.
In the living room, Alaric Faulkner led Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner inside.
Old Master Faulkner and the old lady were sitting there, ready to have dinner.
Upon seeing the three, dressed up as if for a date, they showed clear surprise in their eyes.
The old lady looked at Caleb Faulkner with a cheerful smile, asking, "Caleb, where are you all going?"
Caleb Faulkner’s eyes shifted, and he walked over with a proud face, saying, "Great-grandmother, Mama Eleanor got first place in her exam today, so Dad is taking me and Estelle out to celebrate."
The old lady paused for a moment, then lifted a smile, "Really? Is Miss Sterling really that remarkable?"
Estelle Sterling chimed in from the side, "Of course, Sister Eleanor is not an ordinary person."
After she finished speaking, Caleb Faulkner also nodded in agreement.
He recalled Estelle Sterling once telling him that Eleanor Sterling was the famous doctor Sally, but this secret couldn’t be revealed.
So Eleanor Sterling definitely could pass the exam.
The old lady didn’t stop them, only said repeatedly, "Alright, alright, you all go and have fun."
"Okay, we’re leaving then."
Caleb Faulkner took Estelle Sterling’s hand, and the two left together.
After they had left, the old lady looked at Old Master Faulkner and said, "Old man, did you see that? I told you she’s amazing."
Old Master Faulkner grumbled, murmuring, "She just got in; who knows if she can graduate smoothly."
Seeing Old Master Faulkner still being stubborn, the old lady’s face sank, "You still have the nerve to talk. Out of those noble daughters you chose, which one relied on their own merit to get in? Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NoveI(F)ire.net
I heard there were many applicants this time, but none ranked in the top.
Everyone knows what’s going on with those who didn’t rank but still got in."
With a recommendation from a big family like theirs, one could easily get admitted without taking an exam into the medical school.
But after the exam, the results would be publicly announced, and entering through the back door would somewhat be disgraceful.
The old master from the Hayes Family, being too upright, despised taking such backdoors, which is why he didn’t help Blanche Hayes get in, causing her to rely on her ability for several years.
Now that he’s fallen ill, Blanche Hayes thought of taking advantage of his lack of awareness to seek help from Faye Sterling, not expecting Faye herself to run into issues.
"Who said no one got in? That girl from the Hayes Family got in on her own. I heard she took the exam for years, entering through her own ability."
Hearing Old Master Faulkner say this, the old lady turned and snorted coldly.
"I know, you’re just being contrary to me. Miss Sterling passed on her first try, and ranked first, yet you dismiss her.
Whereas Blanche took so many years to barely pass, you treat her like a gem."
Old Master Faulkner’s face turned awkward.
It wasn’t really like that; he just had a preconceived impression, subconsciously wanting to prove himself right.
He hurried forward to appease, "Not at all, I was just responding to you saying no one got in."
The old lady still ignored him.
"Old woman..." Old Master Faulkner instantly lost his temper, sighed as if compromising.
"If she can graduate smoothly from medical school, then I won’t stop them, alright?"
Hearing this, the old lady finally gave him a sidelong glance.
"I think you’re just asking for trouble."
