Janet’s eyebrows moved slightly, and her voice was light as she replied, “I think either chemistry or physics would be good.”
The Director of Education and the new principal of Star High School stood aside and did not speak. Mr. Goldstein was slightly shocked that a girl wanted to study a male-biased major, so he asked, “Miss Jackson, are you sure? These two don’t seem to suit you very well.”
“What? Are you looking down on our Miss Jackson?” Black Python, White Python, and Red Python had recovered, and as they got up from the ground, they appeared very dissatisfied.
“No, no, how could I possibly mean that?” How could he, a mere principal, be qualified to look down on the top student in the nation for the college entrance examinations? He trembled and continued, “Miss Jackson, since you like those majors, I’ll arrange them for you then.” The principal thought that this would be the end of his task, but he did not expect Janet to suddenly say lightly, “No.”
At that, Mr. Goldstein froze for a few seconds and stammered a little. “M-Miss Jackson, what do you mean by that?” He wanted to personally arrange her majors and help her save a place, but she actually refused!
Janet raised her eyes and said in a lazy tone, “There’s no need for me to bother you. I will participate in the examinations for those majors myself.” She didn’t like the idea of going through the back door and preferred to achieve her goals through her own efforts. Everyone should have the opportunity to pursue what they wanted, and only if she did that could she not panic when she held that position.
Mr. Goldstein was astonished. What kind of divine student was this? How could she actually reject his gesture of goodwill? If it were someone else, they would dream of having this kind of opportunity to get into their favorite major through the back door. “Miss Jackson, it’s settled then!”
Janet lightly answered, “Thank you.”
“Why are you so polite to me? You’re too polite!” Mr. Goldstein laughed; he couldn’t wait for Janet to attend his university. Now that the Director of Education saw that Janet’s admission was settled, he was no longer worried about anything. The best university in Sandfort City was Woodsbury University, so he had faith that the institute would nurture her well. Therefore, he smiled politely and said to them, “Miss Jackson, Young Master Mason, we will take our leave first.”
“Okay,” Janet and Mason answered at the same time. After those people left the Lowry Residence, Black Python, Red Python, White Python, and the others looked at Janet curiously. “Miss Jackson, how did you hide your talents so well?” They had always thought that the person who got a perfect score on the entrance exams was her classmate instead!
Janet lifted her eyes in a nonchalant manner and spoke. “I didn’t hide anything. It’s just you guys sneaking around and talking behind my back.”
Black Python, White Python, and Red Python were rendered speechless by her words. By now, they finally understood that Miss Jackson was not a little harmless rabbit but a venomous snake instead. Also, they were finally aware of the reason why she didn’t care much about the entrance exam results. She must have known that she had a perfect score!
Mason looked at Janet’s little face, then suddenly remembered something. So, he took out his phone and sent a text message.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Markovia, Old Madam Lowry was talking to the caretaker.
“Old Madam Lowry, Young Master Mason has sent a message!” The caretaker reported to Old Madam Lowry with her phone. Then, the latter came up and took a look at it. “750 points?”
“750 points?” The nurse was also taken aback. “It’s a perfect score!”
“Really? A top student with a perfect score?” Old Madam Lowry looked at the caretaker with an incredulous expression, after which the caretaker nodded and said happily, “One of my nephews is also studying in Sandfort City. That’s how I know!”
Old Madam Lowry had never thought that Janet could score a perfect score before at all. Staring excitedly at the phone screen, she ordered, “Notify those in the gemstone industry to send something nice to my granddaughter-in-law!”
The old lady held the phone happily, thinking that she needed to find some time to go back to Sandfort City and plan Mason and Janet’s wedding. I’m going to give Janet the best and most luxurious wedding of a lifetime!
At Star High School, the new principal held an emergency meeting. As he did so, dozens of teachers gathered together to discuss the abruptness of the meeting.
