“Because you are the Thompson Clan’s adopted daughter, I’ve always been

paranoid and thought that you were just like Elizabeth Thompson,”

“Last time you visited us, I didn’t treat you well. I hope you don’t blame me, my mind was clouded by foolishness back then!”

Thinking about it now, Eleanor Armstrong deeply regretted her actions and wished she could go back in time to slap herself twice.

Unfortunately…

There will never be a remedy for regret in this world.

At this point, Eleanor paused and continued, “And about those beauty pills you gave me… I threw them away thinking you were bluffing… I mistook a pearl for a fish’s eye…”

She assumed that hearing this, Viola would be furious.

What she had thrown away was Viola’s hard work. Viola’s expression remained unchanged, “Auntie, I accept your apology.” She could feel that Eleanor was genuinely apologetic.

After all, if Eleanor hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have known about the discarded beauty pills.

Since Eleanor had humbled herself to apologize without reservation, she had no reason not to accept.

“As for the beauty pills, I can make another one for you when I have time.”

Eleanor immediately declined, “Viola, you’re in your final year of high school now. The most important thing for you is to study hard and get into a good university.”

Terrence Lentz not being able to take the College Entrance Examination has always been a regret for Eleanor.

So, she hoped that Viola would study hard.

Viola took a sip of milk tea. Making a beauty pill wasn’t difficult for her. Eleanor then asked, “Viola, which university do you plan to go to?”

“Capital University,” Viola replied.

Capital University was a genuine “Project 985” university, not something that could be compared to a World Ranking 500 institution.

It ranked in the top three globally.

To get into Capital University, one must have strong abilities.

Eleanor was stunned at first, then said, “You have to work hard then. There can be no slacking off.”

“Mhm.”

“Do you need me to find you a tutor?” Eleanor continued, “l know a very excellent tutoring teacher. He has taught students who ended up in ‘Project 985′ universities.”

These types of tutors require advanced booking and are highly in demand, but Eleanor had connections. As long as she reached out, there would be no one she couldn’t invite.

There was no need to worry about that at all.

Viola sipped her milk tea and politely declined, “Thank you, Auntie, but I don’t need one.’

Eleanor nodded and asked, “Howl s your study progress going?”

“Not bad.’

Not bad?

Not bad equated to average.

Capital University was not a place where an average student could get in.

Eleanor started to give Viola a reality check, “There are so many universities in our country. You don’t have to set your heart on Capital University.”

Viola put down her milk tea cup, “But I still think Capital University is the best.’

“Why?” Eleanor was puzzled.

Although having aspirations was a good thing, one should also consider reality.

Now that Eleanor truly saw Viola as her own daughter, she didn’t want to see her disappointed.

Viola smiled, “Because Capital University has the best milk tea.”

The milk tea at Capital University was developed by a senior professor.

It was only sold to teachers and students on campus.

Each campus card could only purchase one cup per day.

Eleanor laughed, “You’ve really done your research, haven’t you?”

“Mhm.”

In her previous life, she had always wanted to try Capital University’s milk tea.

She had even made an appointment with the professor to have tea together.

Unfortunately…

Before that day came, there was a plane crash.

Since she was given a second chance at this life, she would fulfill her previous life’s dream and get into Capital University.

Eleanor chuckled softly.

She never expected Viola’s response to be that.

Eleanor raised her cup of milk tea, “Viola, I wish you success next year.”

“Thank you, Auntie.”

Viola raised her cup too.

Eleanor took a sip of her milk tea and continued, “If you don’t get into your ideal university, don’t lose heart.”

The two of them conversed happily.

Eleanor began to regret not opening up to Viola sooner, and even felt a bit scared by her previous attitude towards her.

Thankfully, Viola was not petty.

She nearly lost such a great daughter-in-law by a hair’s breadth.

Eleanor took a bank card from her purse and handed it to Viola, “Viola, 1 heard you’ve moved out of the Thompson’s. This card is for you, the password is six eights.”

After all, Viola was only just a student entering her last year of high school. Since she left the Thompsons, her living expenses would naturally become a problem..contemporary romance
