Hide Your Identities Or Inherit Millions-Chapter 40
Chapter 40
The woman’s eyes had a few fine wrinkles at the corners, suggesting she was over forty years old.
When she felt someone tugging at her sleeve, she turned around to see a well-behaved, pretty girl standing before her. A small smile appeared on her serious face.
“Hello?”
Elizabeth looked up at her, “Are you the Vice Principal of Sunny Heights High School?”
“Yes, what can I do for you?” Wendy Hook answered straightforwardly.
Sir and Lady Wilson exchanged glances, utterly bewildered by Elizabeth’s actions.
Jack’s brows furrowed, confused by what Elizabeth was trying to do. Was she trying to curry favor with Wendy to gain a spot at Sunny Heights High School?
That would be both absurd and reckless.
Stepping forward, Jack spoke with a hint of apology, “This is my sister. She’s always admired Sunny Heights and got a bit excited seeing you.”
Wendy’s smile faded a bit. She had heard that the Wilson family had found their biological daughter.
Was she approaching her now to pull some strings for admission?
The fair Vice Principal signaled that breaking rules was out of the question in her lifetime.
Sophia grabbed Elizabeth’s hand, “Elizabeth, there are desserts over there. I prepared them especially for you. Go give them a try…”
“Let’s eat later.”
Elizabeth interrupted Sophia, extending a polite hand, “I’m Elizabeth Lawrence. I’ll be attending Sunny Heights High School after the term starts.”
Linda lowered her eyes, her lips curling into a snide smile.
Elizabeth had thoroughly embarrassed herself. The Vice Principal despised people who acted overly eager to please.
Ray frowned and said to Wendy, “The child is really keen on attending Sunny Heights. She truly loves the school.”
Apart from Linda, the Wilson family felt somewhat awkward. They hadn’t expected Elizabeth to be so passionate about Sunny Heights.
Wendy seemed to ponder for a moment. After a while, she extended her hand with a smile.
“So you’re Elizabeth Lawrence. Welcome to Sunny Heights High School.”
Linda was shocked and confused.
Sophia was utterly stunned, her gaze shifted quickly from a composed Elizabeth to the usually serious but now smiling vice-principal.
She couldn’t bring herself to believe what was happening.
Ray wanted to go back to his study and delete all the information he’d gathered on other schools.
It turned out that Elizabeth wasn’t overly confident when she initially said she wanted to go to Sunny Heights High School.
Jack was both shocked and skeptical about what Wendy had said.
Linda’s face stiffened. She was the first to speak, “Vice Principal Wendy, are you sure about this?”
“How could I be wrong about this?”
Wendy looked at Elizabeth with undisguised admiration, “By this stage in senior year, the school doesn’t usually accept transfer students, but Elizabeth is an exception. I’m naturally impressed.”
It wasn’t just impressive; it was a perfect score on the entrance exam.
“Oh, so that’s how it is,” Linda’s voice trembled slightly.
Linda was clearly irritated.
Sir and Lady Wilson were overjoyed; Elizabeth’s dream had come true!
Jack’s expression was slightly complicated. His gaze fell on Elizabeth’s calm face, and he suddenly felt somewhat awkward.
Wendy assumed the Wilson family knew about Elizabeth’s excellent grades and praised her some more, “I look forward to you bringing glory to Sunny Heights High School.”
Elizabeth nodded, “I will.”
The Wilson family and Jack had a lot to say to Elizabeth, but the current setting wasn’t the right one, so they kept silent.
Elizabeth didn’t stay long; after all, her goal had been achieved. The Wilson family wouldn’t have to worry about where she should go to school in the future.
When Elizabeth returned from talking with Wendy Hook, Emily was almost falling over laughing, “Linda and the others will probably die of anger. They mocked you for not being qualified to enter Sunny Heights, and then the vice-principal personally proved them wrong. How hilarious!”
