Chapter 603
Phillip trailed off as Brodie brought in the coffee, then continued, “Have a cup of coffee first. It’s made from beans from a 300–year–old tree, and the taste is really
rich!”
After his words, he turned to Arabella with a warm smile, “Bella, give this coffee a try and see how you like it. If you’re into it, feel free to take more to school.”
Enid Winters was taken aback. Recalling an auction a few months ago, these coffee beans were sold for a thousand dollars a gram. And Grandpa Phillip was just casually suggesting this girl take them to school?
Wasn’t this just a waste?
Such expensive coffee should be savored in high–end situations with high–end people. That’s when it held value and meaning.
Letting her take it to school.
Phillip must really think highly of this girl.
Arabella took a sip from her cup, the rich and mellow flavor lingering on her lips. It was indeed a great coffee.
After taking a sip, Enid glanced at Arabella. She probably hadn’t tasted such pricey coffee in her life, had she? And how did she manage to stick around Romeo and even win over Phillip. She thought that outshining Serena would be enough to be with Romeo smoothly, but then this girl appeared.
Mr. Winters, after a sip of his coffee, was curious about Arabella’s identity and couldn’t resist asking Phillip, “Your grandson’s fiancée is still in school?”
“Yeah, Westerly College specially invited her! With her brains, she doesn’t really need college, and she’s just there out of respect for that old man.” Phillip responded proudly, with a bit of bragging in his tone.
Invited by Westerly College??
That eccentric old man from Westerly College thought most brilliant students were just average. Who could possibly get an invitation from him?
Before Mr. Winters could ask, Phillip couldn’t help blur the truth, “Not just Westerly College, Helgen College, Morrowind College, Summerfield College. Even famous foreign universities are vying for her. She’s this year’s top scorer, Arabella!”
“So she’s the top scorer. No wonder.” Mr. Winters looked surprised, and he didn’t expect the top scorer his granddaughter had been grumbling about all summer was right in front of him.
His granddaughter should’ve been the top scorer, but she had a stomach upset on the exam day, and her performance was far from her best.
Seeing that this girl not only topped the class but also scored full marks.
Her academic ability must be powerful.
“My granddaughter, Enid, is in the same school.”
Phillip was surprised by this news, “Enid’s also at Westerly College? I bet she’s heard of Bella! I heard Bella’s been the talk of the college since day one.”
“Haha.” Mr. Winters didn’t expect Phillip to be so fond of this quiet and well–behaved girl. He laughed, “Isn’t all the colleges having their outdoor training? Enid didn’t attend as she’s afraid of getting sunburned.”
“It’s a great opportunity to train. It won’t cause sunburn. Look at Bella, she’s been training for a week, and her skin is still so smooth, haha.”
Arabella looked at the two old men comparing notes when suddenly, her phone started vibrating.
She checked the caller ID, and it was one of her subordinates. She immediately hung up.
On the other end, her subordinate felt puzzled. Arabella had been hanging up his calls more frequently since she got together with Romeo.
She’s changed!
She’s had it with him!
