105: Chapter 102 Learning Contracts 105: Chapter 102 Learning Contracts Maria Carter and her several besties didn’t even notice Emily Parker’s gaze behind them.
“Maria, I’m telling you, you’re just too nice.
That Alia Willow, she clearly doesn’t look like any good woman.
It’s only because Charles Pond is blind that he gets so enchanted by her.”
“Why don’t we find soone to beat her up?”
A girl over 1.7 ters tall with wheat-colored skin said.
“Physical assault is illegal, do you want to get expelled from school?”
Maria Carter wasn’t that brainless, plus she had promised her brother that as long as she enrolled in the tutoring classes this ti, she would study diligently and stop being concerned with Charles Pond’s affairs.
“Alright, you guys go ahead to class first.
I’ll deal with Charles Pond and Alia Willow’s matter myself.”
It was then the girls left, and Maria Carter wandered around in the small clinic, full of disgust; this tiny clinic was truly small, even smaller than the bathroom she used.
Emily Parker was tidying up the counter.
At that mont, a bank card was placed in front of her.
Emily Parker looked up in surprise.
“Do you not have enough money and have to work in such a small clinic, only earning a few thousand a month?
If my brother doesn’t give you money to spend, just say so.
This is a supplentary credit card to mine, with a limit of 200,000.
Quit this job right away, so as not to be too tired and affect the physical and ntal health of my future niece or nephew.”
Though Maria Carter was young, she had heard that in the first few months of pregnancy, one shouldn’t overexert themselves.
Even though Emily Parker didn’t look like she was having a hard ti, she shouldn’t work so hard outside either.
Emily Parker couldn’t help but laugh, her little sister-in-law, although a bit an-mouthed and simple-minded, was still rather cute.
The people of the Carter family really did look alike, always ready to throw money at problems.
Emily Parker pushed the card back.
“Your brother does give money every month.
Keep the card for yourself.”
Maria Carter pouted but didn’t insist.
After school, Maria Carter received a call from her brother, asking her to co back to the villa with Emily Parker, saying he had sothing to instruct her about.
Emily Parker going to work at the small clinic near the school’s entrance had been prearranged with Carlos.
Carlos didn’t object, for their marriage agreent had long stipulated that Emily Parker was entitled to work freely.
The two returned to the villa together.
Carlos had already co back; after the successful developnt of a new car at the factory, Carlos had so free ti and would co back to the villa for als now and then.
“Brother, thank you so much this ti.
You have no idea how shocked Charles Pond was when he heard that I got into ‘Heavenly King’s’ tutoring classes this morning.
It was so satisfying.”
Maria Carter’s face was full of ecstatic joy.
“Don’t get too excited just yet.
Sign this learning contract.”
Carlos spoke with the tone of conducting official business, and Maria Carter sat down and picked up the contract.
The contents of the contract made her dumbfounded.
“A learning contract?
Brother, I just enrolled in a tutoring class, and I need to sign a contract with you?
With so many restrictive clauses?”
Maria Carter’s pretty face looked like it was about to collapse.
“Looking at the contract, I even have to do morning reading and evening study sessions every day, study for several hours a day.
And this contract even wants to control my clothes, hairstyle, and daily entertainnt?”
This contract is practically no different from a nun’s daily life.
“This is not sothing I want to sign with you, it’s the contract sent by your tutor.
It’s also what they want you to sign.”
Carlos also found this ‘Heavenly King’ tutor quite interesting.
They had a reputation, and indeed had the right to make so demanding requests.
“Besides, I’ve notified those other families as well.
If you dare break the contract, all of your credit cards will be suspended until you are admitted to college.”
This contract was received in the afternoon by Carlos and the parents of other students attending the tutoring at the sa ti.
Besides the contract, they also received Maria Carter’s and her friends’ high school assessnt transcripts, along with an explanation of the new education policy.
Seeing that their children might not even graduate from high school, the parents from several families were anxious!
Large families often care a lot about their reputation.
It’s acceptable for their kids to not excel in studies, but if they can’t even graduate from high school, that’s an intolerable disgrace that would tarnish the reputation of all the involved families if it spread.
The other party also promised that as long as the children sign the learning contract, they would surely pass the high school assessnts and even get good scores in the college entrance examinations.
The promises made by the other party were believed by all the major families.
Other families had investigated the ‘Heavenly King’s previous track record; ‘he’ had been in the business for five years.
In these five years, the students ‘he’ had taught were truly top-notch achievers.
After discussing, the major families agreed.
“I won’t sign.”
Upon hearing this, Maria Carter tossed the learning contract aside.
The tutors she had found before always worked on her terms; this ‘Heavenly King’, although famous, would not be able to control her.
“If you don’t sign, it counts as a contract breach.
You’ll have to compensate for the amount stated in the contract yourself.
The family won’t pay for you; don’t even think about asking dad, mom, or grandpa for it.
Otherwise, I can make sure you won’t get a penny from the family until you graduate from high school.”
Carlos snorted coldly.
Maria Carter was greatly startled; seeing her brother’s icy deanor, she knew he was serious this ti.
The tuition for the upcoming year was calculated by class hours; a single contract would amount to millions, and ten tis the amount would be tens of millions.
The Carters were indeed wealthy, but Maria Carter was still a student with very limited pocket money and a spender at that; she couldn’t afford to compensate for such an amount.
She thought, “Fine, I’ll sign.
After all, this ‘Heavenly King’ always teaches online.
Behind a computer screen, how much could ‘he’ really control ?”
And with that, Maria Carter promptly signed the contract.
“You’re eighteen now, an adult.
You’re responsible for the contracts you sign.”
Educating Maria Carter had always been a headache for Carlos and Mrs.
Carter.
Only Evan Palr, their father, would say that Maria was just a girl, and she didn’t need to take over the family business; a diploma was enough, and all that remained was arranging a marriage for her in the future.
But Carlos didn’t think so.
“I’ve signed the contract, I’m leaving now,”
Maria Carter also had plans to watch a movie with her best friends tonight.
At that mont, the aroma of food wafted from the dining room.
“Since you’re already here, stay for dinner.
Your sister-in-law cooked personally today, and she’s a good cook.”
Saying this, Carlos stood up and strode toward the dining room.
Last ti, Mrs.
Carter had arranged for chefs from Cloud Lake Villa to co over to the villa to cook, but ever since Emily Parker got pregnant, she beca pickier with food, and she preferred cooking for herself at ho.
After preparing the al today, she even had a portion sent to the Old Master.
Initially, Maria Carter wanted to refuse, but once she caught the scent from the dining room, she couldn’t help but walk toward it.
