After all, even the alleys near the school gave a sense of inexplicable security. Even when it was almost 10:00 pm after self-study sessions, Penny had never felt afraid in this alley.The most extreme thing she had encountered here was probably seeing some students buying things from nearby small shops that couldn't be bought at school. There were never any major commotions.Actions like scaling walls that were common in other schools basically didn't exist in theirs, let alone things like brawls or campus bullying.With the amount of homework they had every day, who would have the time or energy to focus on other things?Were there no students in the school who were idle and didn't care about their studies at all? Of course, there were.However, most students admitted to Penny's school had been selected based on their entrance exam scores.Even the students who bought their way in with marginal scores were at least close to the school's cutoff line. They wouldn't lag behind in

Penny felt disgusted hearing Spencer's words.However, she knew now was not the time to argue with him. Besides, he was not a child whose values were still forming. Even if she argued with him, it wouldn't change his views.Such people always believed that their own ideas were right. No matter how much you discussed with them, it was meaningless.If she said too much, it might even anger him further, and Penny didn't dare to imagine what would happen then.At this moment, she was already in a disadvantageous position and could only go along with Spencer's thoughts.After a moment of contemplation, she suppressed her temper and said, "Father, what you said makes sense. But you should also know that education is a bonus."If you let me take the exam, having a diploma is still a feather in the cap. Don't you think so?"Spencer pursed his lips, his face serious, as if he was seriously considering Penny's words.Penny also realized this, so she seized the opportunity and added, "My

Spencer didn't know what Penny was thinking about.Looking back from the front seat, he only saw Penny's expressionless face.Compared to usual, she had already shown restraint by not throwing a tantrum. What more could he ask of her?Maybe because she had been wandering outside for so long, she understood the importance of money in this world.Perhaps this time, she would listen to his advice and become the obedient and sensible girl she used to be.Spencer started inexplicably recalling Penny when she was young.Although she didn't have her biological parents to take care of her, the servants at home still raised the little girl quite well.With her big dark eyes and pretty floral dresses, she always had books and test papers in her arms in the villa's living room, waiting for him.She would come over to tell him proudly when he was in a good mood that she had scored top marks again.Unfortunately, he was too young at that time and didn't have much patience for children. Mor

The sound of footsteps drew closer and closer to her. Penny, whose eyes were covered, began to feel fearful.Surrounded by darkness, with every sound echoing in her ears, she felt a mysterious chill creeping up her spine.The fear of the unknown lingered in her mind.Penny couldn't help but cry out, her voice choking, "If you do anything to me, I'll call the police after I leave!"Aren't you rich people supposed to care about your reputation the most? Anyway, I have nothing to lose, so let's see who's afraid of whom!"She was still just a young girl, after all. The worst thing she had experienced in this life was her own parents' beatings.All the dark things she knew were from books, novels, or TV dramas.Of course, she was at a loss and visibly frightened when sent into a hotel room with a stranger by her own father.The man standing in front of her chuckled softly. "You're quite a stubborn and cute girl."As his words fell, his perfume's faint scent enveloped her.As the s

Sam suddenly raised his head. "What day is it today?""What day?" The man sat leisurely in his office chair, not understanding why Sam was suddenly so agitated.Sam's face was dark. "Look at today's date."The man tapped on the tablet on the table and glanced at it. "It's the 8th. Why…"Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly remembered something and stopped speaking.He tentatively asked, "Isn't today the day of the child's exam?"For most people, the college entrance examination was very important. Even families in the circle who didn't need this exam would still attach great importance to and prepare everything for it.For example, the man remembered his cousin's mother wearing a shirt that was said to bring luck for three days during her daughter's exam, hoping it would bring success.Even before the exam, she specifically consulted a fortune teller to determine which color to wear.It could be said they cared a lot.Comparing that to the person outside…The vid
