Chapter 205: Fail to Get Into It

Looking at Elaine’s little red lips, he was a little lost in thought.

“Huh? Of course, I applied for Irvine University, didn’t I tell you last time?”

“Well, what about the second choice of your college application?”

“I didn’t put the second choice! I told Hazel at that time that I’ll only apply for Irvine University but if I fail,
I’ll rather not go to any other university!”

“Hey…how can you not put the second choice, you’re too impulsive!”

Mark frowned. He looked quite worried.

Hazel was smart as she could immediately realize something. She swallowed the marbled beef in her
mouth and widened her eyes, asking, “Senior, is it that you have heard about the matter about the
college application using the result of the national college entrance examination?”

Elaine was shocked. She also turned and looked at Mark.

Using a fork to pluck the beef, Mark sighed, “I’ve been helping in the admissions office of the school
these few days…”

“Oh, and then?” Elaine nervously swallowed her saliva.

“I saw the enrolment plan.”

“Um… um!”

Now, even Hazel also did not have the mood to continue eating as she also became nervous.



“I had seen Hazel’s name in the name list of students who are admitted, but…I didn’t see Elaine’s
name.”

“What!” ‘Clang’, the fork in Elaine’s hand fell onto the plate. Her hands were shaking and she asked in
a quivering voice.

“I, I…I didn’t manage to get into the university?”

Mark sighed, “The minimum score required by the Irvine University is higher than that in last year.
Elaine, your score is only three points lesser than it.”

Buzz…Instantly, Elaine felt that the sky was spinning. She almost fainted due to this.

Seeing the colour drain from Elaine’s entire face which made her looked abnormal, Hazel immediately
patted Elaine’s back hard and persuaded.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Things may still have a turnaround. Don’t worry first.”

Elaine exhaled a breath after a long time. Then, bean-sized tears streamed down her cheeks.

Elaine’s heart sank and overflowed with sadness. She felt so disheartened.

She took a tissue, simply covered her eyes and wiped away her tears.

Mark was also having a sad look. With a low voice, he advised her with his face twitching, “Yeah. You
should wait and see if there is a second-time enrolment so that there will be additional places. Also,
don’t be so impulsive in the future and you ought to put the second choice even if you’re unwilling to
obey the transfer. Never mind, you’re bound to get into it next year…”

…



Unexpectedly, Elaine was stimulated by the words, ‘next year’. She jerked up and cried out with her lips
curling, “I don’t want to wait until next year! I don’t want it!”

And then she ran out while crying.

“Elaine, Elaine…”

Mark and Hazel followed and went out together in a panic. They saw Elaine simply board a bus and the
bus had already started to move forward.

“Oh, what should we do. Look at how sad she is, I’ll call a cab to follow her!” Mark was so anxious that
he started to walk in circles.

Hazel let out a deep sigh and pulled Mark, “Forget it, senior. I think we should leave her alone. After all,
this matter makes her feels ashamed in front of us, let her think about it herself.”

“She won’t go missing, right?” Mark looked worried.

Hazel could not help but laugh, “Hahaha, she isn’t a child less than ten years old so she definitely won’t
go missing in broad daylight! Senior… don’t tell me that you…like Elaine?”

Flushed…Mark’s face turned as red as an apple after hearing Hazel’s words.

Elaine did not know which bus she had boarded. She sat in the last row, sobbing with tissues covering
her eyes.

It was until that the bus stopped at the terminal and she was urged by the driver then only she got off
the bus.

Looking around, it was a very unfamiliar place. It was next to the sea so it should be the east coast.



Elaine did not care what place was this. Anyway, it was in broad daylight and there was no ghost. She
cried wantonly while walking around without a destination.

Why was she the one who failed?

Why was she so unlucky?

If she did not manage to get into a university, it would be too embarrassing for her to see her dad!

It was not easy for her dad to earn money. He worked so hard to drive a bus every day to afford her
and her younger sister to go to school…

If she needed to go back to study in high school for another year, how much money would it cost?

“Elaine, you have no contribution to society and your family. You’re purely a parasite, what for you
continue surviving!”

…

Elaine stood on the beach and cried her eyes out while facing the vast ocean.

As Elaine was tired of walking, like a tired little ostrich, she found a tree under the shade and sat down.
She took off her shoes and buried her face in her knees.

The sea was in front of her. She listened to the sound of waves while tears trickled down her face.

…

Emmett arrived at his father’s villa. When he walked in, all the servants saluted and greeted,
“Welcome, young master.”

“Um.”



Emmett stretched his face and responded with a nasal tone.

After Atwood quitted the stage, he fell in love with gardening and he made the place in front of the living
room became a huge room for flowers. Before entering the house, one must first pass through the
room for flowers in which the flowers had blocked the sunlight.

A haze of coolness and fragrance of different flowers surrounded Emmett. This made his heart sank
uncontrollably.

As soon as he stepped into the house, the first thing he heard was Juliana’s coquettish laughter.
Therefore, Emmett’s face darkened more and more while he walked over with a cold face.

“Dad.”

“Ms. Juliana, you’re really funny…” Atwood smiled and slowly turned his head to look at Emmett.
Although Atwood was still smiling, the piercing coldness had already been revealed.

“Well, Emmett’s here. Come, come and sit here. I’m chatting with Ms. Juliana, her insight is very
broad.”

Juliana curled her lips and smiled coquettishly. She glanced at Emmett who was handsome and
stunning, and continued to say sweetly, “Mr. Smith, didn’t I say that we’re family, just call me Juliana.”

Atwood nodded in satisfaction, “Oh, okay, okay.”

Emmett was sneering in his mind.

Family? Who the hell was her family?

What a shameless woman!

Emmett did not utter a word and sat down silently.



Atwood deliberately asked, “Juliana, how old are you?”

“Twenty-four years old.”

“Oh, that’s good. Emmett is twenty-six so you two are two years apart. In China, this is an age gap that
is very suitable for people to get married.”

Emmett’s mouth curled, “So you meant that all men and women with a two-year age difference should
get married?”

Atwood glared fiercely at Emmett.

…

Emmett ignored his dad’s glare and pretended not to see it.

He was still portraying his iceberg-like face with an overwhelming coldness.

“Oh, Juliana, you see, Emmett is having this kind of temper since childhood. No one can change him
so I hope you don’t mind.”

Atwood was faintly persuading Juliana.

Who was Juliana? She was not an ordinary woman!

Would she be frightened by just a few words?

She had experienced things that involved fighting and killing. She was a little devil who had survived
bloody wars so she did not really care about those words.



She smiled and waved her hand, “Haha, nothing. I think Emmett’s attribute is very good, I like this kind
of personality.”

She then turned her head and smiled towards Emmett. Like a fox that had smelled meat, she reached
out her little hand and clasped Emmett’s hand, saying boldly without feeling shame.

“Others do not know but anyway, we’re very suitable to get married since we have two years age
difference, right?”

Atwood looked at Juliana with slight joy.

Emmett’s face looked even colder.

Whoosh! Soon, he quickly withdrew his hand and slightly flung it as he was a bit disgusted.

Emmett looked askance at Juliana with a cold harrumph, “Ms. Juliana and I are not familiar with each
other so you naturally don’t know my preferences. My dad knows that I like women with fair skin so Ms.
Juliana’s kind of…honey-coloured skin…Well, not my favour.”

Juliana’s smile disappeared out of the blue!

Damn, this brat, he surprisingly disliked her? Disliked her for having dark skin? This kind of honey-
coloured skin was the most attractive and fashionable in Europe and America! Many people wanted to
have this kind of tanned skin but they had no time and money for that.

Atwood’s face also immediately swelled and he yelled, “Nonsense! How can you talk to a guest like
this? You wanna be beaten?”

Emmett’s eyelids trembled. His gorgeous face went into the icy-cold state again without showing any
emotions.



Juliana hid her embarrassment and anger, smiled stiffly and said, “Mr. Smith, it’s time for lunch, right?
I’m already famished.”

Atwood immediately laughed, “Oh, yeah, right, let’s have a meal. I’m getting old, I can’t believe I have
made my guest felt hungry! Hahaha…”

…

Juliana glared at Emmett and got up. She held Atwood’s hand and walked together towards the dining
room, saying, “You’re not old! When I first met you, I thought you were only in your thirties.”

Atwood laughed. After a few steps, he turned his head and scolded Emmett, “Emmett, why are you still
sitting there?”

Emmett silently got up.

Atwood continued his pace while saying to Juliana, “See? Raising a son is exactly like wasting time.
Sons are careless and they don’t know how to take care of the elderly. If I have a daughter like you, I’ll
be happy.”

Juliana immediately replied, “Mr. Smith, just treat me as your child. I’ll often visit you in the future.”

“Oh, great, great, great.”

Emmett rolled his eyes at the two people and sneered sarcastically, “So disgusting.”
