“But we're completely penniless right now. Where can we go?” Wendy choked out.
Cecilia gritted her teeth and said, "I'll be going back to Horington to look for your uncle. Stay in Jadeborough and study hard. Make sure you take this chance to get into Maxwell University. As long as you enter that university, I'll be able to connect you with certain people so that you’ll be able to marry into a good family.”
“A good family,” Wendy repeated before snorting.
I can only marry middle-class families at most. No wealthy family would accept someone like me, who has been in prison.
Only Wendy herself knew how far she had fallen—from being capable of marrying Vinson to barely capable of marrying into “a good family.”
I can't rely on Mom anymore. I can only rely on myself. Every Chanaean knows that the Greene family has fallen from grace, but what about Epea? Epea has tons of wealthy families. As long as I get into Maxwell University, I'll be able to approach a rich, influential Epean man. I can still try my luck for a good future.
“Okay,” Wendy replied after tensing her jaw. “I'll definitely get into Maxwell University.”
This is my one and only chance to turn the tables.
Cecilia nodded before reminding, “Stop trying to infuriate Arielle after you go back to school. She's not someone we can afford to cross
anymore. All you need to do now is to focus on your studies. Don't do anything else. Do you understand?”
Wendy bit down hard on her lower lip as she listened to her mother.
She was unwilling to admit defeat just like that.
She simply did not want to.
However, the truth was that she had to.
Hatred was a seed that was long planted in her heart and had grown into a towering tree.
