However, this titan of the field, even though he had been retired for over a decade, was insistently brought back to the school by Elder Prescott.
Saying "brought back" isn’t quite accurate; more precisely, it was a reappointnt.
Jasper Quill reached his current status with no lack of fa or fortune, so his return was not for money or reputation, but out of respect for Elder Prescott.
Under Elder Prescott’s recomndation, Ashley Shaw beca Jasper Quill’s last disciple today.
Students and disciples are different; for students, one needs only to teach the curriculum.
For disciples, one must impart all that one knows.
You should know, even the dean is not a disciple of Jasper Quill, he is rely a student.
After Ashley Shaw offered the ceremonial tea to acknowledge her ntorship, her eyes couldn’t help but redden.
Elder Prescott had been so kind to her, she truly didn’t know how to repay him.
After bowing, Jasper Quill personally helped her up.
"Good child, get up. I’ll be staying at the school from now on. Co to anyti if you have questions."
Ashley Shaw nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Professor Quill."
The dean nearby laughed: "Still calling him professor?"
Ashley Shaw was montarily at a loss, quickly saying: "Thank you, Master!"
"Hahaha..."
The room erupted in laughter.
Ariana Grant was also very happy.
Although today’s event had nothing to do with her, as she was studying nursing and didn’t need to learn from such a prestigious teacher, she was sincerely happy for Ashley Shaw.
True friends don’t feel jealous because others are doing better; they just silently offer more blessings.
At noon, Ashley Shaw dined with Jasper Quill, but Dean Coleman didn’t join; he said he had so personal matters to attend to.
Watching the group get into a car for the restaurant, Dean Coleman quickly turned back.
A bald middle-aged man ran over, whispering by his side.
"Dean, the person has arrived."
Caleb Coleman nodded and asked: "Why did Director Ford suddenly show up?"
The bald man shook his head, saying: "Not sure exactly, but she brought a young girl, and judging by their faces, they should be mother and daughter."
Caleb Coleman recalled.
Among this year’s incoming students, there is indeed one who is Director Ford’s daughter.
He couldn’t help but show concern.
"Could it be that Director Ford also wants her daughter to be taken on as my teacher’s disciple?"
"Possibly, maybe... I don’t really know."
His subordinate didn’t have any answers, which greatly worried Caleb Coleman.
Because Jasper Quill had already stated today that Ashley Shaw would be his last disciple, and he wouldn’t accept any more disciples in the future.
If Director Ford also requested for her daughter to beco Jasper Quill’s disciple, what would he do then?
Alas!
Bla it on the fact that this year’s new students have too many with influential backgrounds.
Caleb Coleman, feeling as though he was going to a funeral, arrived at the dean’s office.
But the mont his subordinate opened the door, he put on an incredibly bright smile.
"Director Ford, what brings you here today?"
Vincent Ford had a neat short haircut and, although not in uniform, still carried an authoritative air with her white shirt and black trousers.
She proactively offered her hand.
"Dean Coleman, hello. I’m sorry to bother you today."
Caleb Coleman quickly shook Vincent Ford’s hand.
"Not at all! Your visit brings light to my humble office."
After a bit of small talk, Vincent Ford finally introduced the girl standing behind her.
"This is my daughter, Jocelyn Hayes."
Dean Coleman promptly extended his hand again: "Hello, hello."
His face was all smiles, though his heart was racing.
So she did bring her daughter to beco a disciple, huh?
Fortunately, Vincent Ford quickly explained her purpose. She wasn’t bringing Jocelyn Hayes to beco a disciple because she honestly didn’t think Jocelyn Hayes could handle anything in clinical dicine.
This is soone without much focus, likely to change majors by the second year.
She even felt that it was surprising enough that Jocelyn Hayes, who lacks goals and has fleeting interests, managed to get into university, so she’s not pressing for more.
The real reason for her visit was because Jocelyn Hayes asked her to find a way to arrange for her to be in the sa class, and preferably the sa dormitory, with a recently t friend.
Vincent Ford had always taught her children to be low-key, and agreeing to this unreasonable request was purely because Jocelyn Hayes had struggled to get along with schoolmates throughout her education.
Now, when she finally has soone she feels she can get along with, and even Jensen Hayes thinks this girl is good, she mustered up the courage to make this request.
Upon hearing it was such a minor matter, Caleb Coleman not only relaxed but happily agreed.
"No problem, I’ll arrange that right away. By the way, what’s your friend’s na? Do you know her ID number?"
Jensen Hayes was montarily at a loss, evidently not expecting to provide an identification number.
She said to wait a mont, then turned to call Ashley Shaw via WeChat, quickly explaining the situation and asking her to send her ID number.
Before long, she had the ID number, and just as Caleb Coleman was about to write it down, he heard Jensen Hayes say: "Her na is Ashley Shaw. Ashley as in sumr, Shaw as in shallow."
Caleb Coleman’s pen paused mid-air.
"Ashley Shaw?"
It was Ashley Shaw!
What a coincidence, crossing paths like this!
However, Caleb Coleman quickly subdued his surprise.
Those with power and influence are often in the sa circles, knowing the sa people is normal.
—This little episode soon passed, and in a blink, it was the start of the school term.
As Ashley Shaw began school, Elder Prescott also went to work.
The only thing unchanged was the continued silence from Warren Prescott’s side.
Ashley Shaw gradually beca impatient and increasingly uneasy, finally calling Assistant Lowell.
She had been in touch with Lars Prescott more often recently, and hadn’t contacted Assistant Lowell.
But these past two days, Lars Prescott had been too busy to always answer her calls.
So Ashley Shaw decided to contact Assistant Lowell.
Once the call connected, Assistant Lowell’s sowhat hoarse voice ca through.
"Miss Shaw? Is there sothing you need?"
He tried to make his tone sound as calm as possible, as he wasn’t aware that Ashley Shaw already knew about Warren Prescott’s disappearance.
Unexpectedly, Ashley Shaw imdiately asked: "What’s the latest progress on Lars Prescott’s end?"
Assistant Lowell was clearly startled and didn’t speak for several seconds.
It was Ashley Shaw who broke the silence.
"The day after the incident, Uncle Prescott told and asked if Warren had contacted ."
So that’s how it is.
Assistant Lowell realized, and after finding an isolated spot, said: "I was worried about adding to your stress just as school started, so I didn’t tell you."
Ashley Shaw held her phone tightly, "Warren is...a friend of mine; it’s natural to be worried. Ignoring the situation is what shouldn’t happen. I just want to know the latest updates, so please tell ."
"Alright, since you know, ask whatever you want, and I’ll tell you anything I know."
"Has there been any news of him?"
"It’s now confird that he’s on the cruise. But our team hasn’t found him yet... The cruise is enormous. It carries over three thousand people, and Mr. Prescott Jr. boarded without registering information, making it difficult to find him openly, lest we alert Morgan Schultz, which would make it even harder for our team to locate him."
