Chapter 228: Chapter 223 Emily Parker’s Family mbers
Hearing this, Carlos and Senior Sister Long’s gazes both fell on Emily Parker.
Carlos’s expression was particularly complex, having previously put in much effort to investigate Emily Parker’s background.
Emily Parker had failed her high school exams and ended up only getting into a junior college for nursing under the Capital dical College.
One of the reasons Evan Palr opposed Emily Parker becoming the daughter-in-law of the Carter Family was her low educational background.
But how did an ordinary junior college student get to know the high and mighty Principal White of the Capital dical College?
With this thought, Carlos’s gaze deepened as he fixedly stared at Emily Parker, trying to find answers from her face.
Emily Parker felt the two gazes but only smiled lightly, her expression calm and unperturbed,
“Grandpa White, I’m really sorry.
I had an appointnt with Senior Sister Long earlier, so I’ll have to co back another day for your tea.”
After speaking, she gracefully introduced her relationship with Principal White to everyone present.
“I forgot to tell you all, Principal White and I have a friendship that spans generations.”
Her tone was relaxed, and she didn’t seem to want to elaborate.
Principal White laughed heartily and continued,
“Emily Parker is my lifesaver.
Years ago, I was out for a morning exercise when I suddenly had a heart attack and was on the brink of death.
At that crucial mont, Emily happened to pass by, promptly perford first aid on , and even got to the hospital.
Because of this, she missed two of her high school exams.”
As he reminisced, Principal White’s face was full of guilt,
“Afterwards, I felt deeply remorseful and insisted on admitting her despite the circumstances, but this girl refused resolutely.”
Principal White’s words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a storm in the hearts of everyone present.
Especially Carlos, who had only known that Emily Parker failed her exams; he had no idea of the twists and turns behind it.
In other words, even with the huge disadvantage of missing two exams, Emily still managed to get into a junior college.
If she hadn’t missed those exams, given her demonstrated abilities and intelligence, how amazing could her scores have been?
William, standing nearby, shrugged. In his eyes, why would Emily still be concerned about her exam scores?
He clearly rembered that Emily had been a top scorer in so year’s college entrance exams.
Principal White, speaking with deep aning, glanced at Emily with a look full of emotion.
He also later hired Dr. Sterling as a visiting professor. It was only then that he learned Dr. Sterling and Emily were the sa person.
She had obtained dual doctoral degrees at a young age.
Back then, she retook the college entrance exam for a purely simple reason: she wanted to experience an ordinary yet precious college life with her lover.
It’s a pity… fate always loves to play tricks on people.
Principal White’s thoughts returned to the present. Seeing the young doctor just now, he felt nostalgic.
“Principal, thank you so much this ti. Where is my teacher, Dr. Sterling?”
Seeing the misunderstandings being resolved, Senior Sister Long felt a weight lifted off her shoulders and eagerly asked about Dr. Sterling.
Her eyes sparkled with expectation. Being able to study under the mysterious and brilliant Dr. Sterling was her honor.
At this mont, Mr. William lightly coughed and spoke unhurriedly,
“The doctor’s schedule is very tight; he had to leave urgently.
In the future, Dr. Sterling will conduct online classes and Q&A sessions for doctoral courses.
You can submit your assignnts via email. As for eting in person,
When the ti is right, you will naturally et the doctor.”
Although disappointed, Senior Sister Long didn’t doubt it.
In her opinion, it was perfectly normal for soone as busy as Dr. Sterling.
Principal White was about to lead Senior Sister Long to complete the necessary procedures, but he paused and turned around to look at Carlos,
“Little Carter, your grandfather and I have t a few tis.
Though we haven’t been in close contact, we each know what kind of people the other is.”
He slightly squinted, his gaze carrying a bit of scrutiny and concern,
“Emily Parker may seem tough, but she’s still just a girl.
She doesn’t have her family around. I’ve always admired her and see her as my granddaughter.
Now, I’m entrusting her to you.”
With that, Principal White’s tone suddenly grew stern, filled with undeniable authority,
“You better not mistreat her, or I won’t let you off!”
After saying this, Principal White cast a aningful smile at Emily, who winked at him.
Carlos felt a chill run down his spine at Principal White’s words.
He instinctively glanced at Emily, pondering that while Evan Palr dismissed her as just an ordinary girl, the scene before him suggested otherwise.
Upon closer thought, Emily seed without support, but she actually had the highly respected Old Master backing her up, along with the renowned Senior National Practitioner Long.
And now she had the influential Principal White in the education sector.
Each of these figures could shake the entire Capital with a stomp of their feet.
Any one of them was soone others would go out of their way to flatter, yet they all were deeply concerned about Emily.
“And , if you dare to bully her, I won’t let you off either.”
Mr. William took the opportunity to issue a warning too.
“You?”
Hearing this, Carlos couldn’t help but snort coldly, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Seeing the scene with Emily and William standing together in the video had left him feeling uneasy, even though he told himself not to believe it.
Carlos crossed his arms over his chest, slightly raised his chin, and t William’s gaze head-on with a slightly mocking tone,
“What place do you hold?”
He was acutely aware of how much he cared about Emily, and this emotion annoyed him, leading him to take it out on William, as if that would dispel his inexplicable irritation.
Mr. William looked up at Carlos, his previous impatience faded as his expression turned serious,
“Emily is my sister. Because of her, the Sterling Research Institute will continue to cooperate with your Carter Clan this ti.”
Thinking back to the chaotic scene earlier, everyone was panicking, and the situation had nearly spiraled out of control.
But Carlos reacted quickly, instinctively shielding Emily when danger arose.
Mr. William took note of this concern for Emily, which made him reconsider his initial dislike for Carlos slightly.
He understood that anyone who would instinctively protect Emily in a crisis must hold her dearly and was worth a bit more trust, thus agreeing to continue cooperation.
Though the storm at Capital dical College had just subsided, another turmoil was still brewing.
At the police station, Father Parker and Mother Parker hurriedly arrived.
