Chapter 570: Chapter 513: Dean Yue’s Letter


    Charlotte Lane spoke only one sentence after being elected as the next Dean.


    “Enough talk, see you in half a year.”


    Half a yearter, the position of Dean will be voted on again by the twelve families.”


    In half a year, the ability to serve as a Dean will be evident enough.”


    Words matter less than actual performance.”


    As the meeting ended, Julian Maxwell left the conference room without looking back, followed by the hurried departure of the Skyler and Ferguson families.”


    As they left, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly rxed.”


    The remaining families congratted Charlotte Lane and exchanged a few words with her before leaving.


    Charlotte Lane thanked them all politely.


    When almost everyone had left, the Santiago family approached.


    Siera Santiago squeezed herself between Harton rk and Charlotte Lane, looking at Charlotte sideways, “You’re really Charlotte, huh?”<div>


    Harton rk frowned and moved aside helplessly, making room for her.


    Charlotte turned to Siera and said quietly, “I remember… in the sixth grade, you took 20 USD from me and never returned it.”


    William Lane and Xavier Dominic, who were talking to each other, all looked over when they heard this sentence.


    Siera blushed and stuttered, “That was so long ago, and you still remember? I went to a different schoolter, besides, you’re Charlotte Lane. You beat me so badly at Mountain Sea Continent.”


    “I’m quite sure you insulted me first,” Charlotte retorted, “You started it.”


    “I didn’t know it was you,” Siera muttered under her breath.


    “I didn’t know it was you either,” Charlotte said softly, “If I’d known it was you insulting me, I would’ve hit you harder.”


    Siera: “…… me Thomas Firway.”


    “Yes,” Charlotte agreed, “He bears the primary responsibility.”


    After their conversation ended, Turner Daniel’s mother exchanged contact information with Charlotte Lane.


    After a while, as they were about to leave, Turner Daniel called out to Charlotte Lane. Everyone else left the conference room, leaving the two of them alone.


    “Suddenly, I don’t know what to call you,” Turner Daniel said.


    “Keep calling me what you used to,” Charlotte replied.


    Turner Daniel nodded and handed her an envelope: “A letter from Grandpa.”


    Charlotte looked down at the words “For Nicholson Amos’s Personal Reading” on the envelope and took it with both hands.


    “Ever since Grandpa fell ill, he began to arrange everything,” Turner Daniel whispered, “Just in case. It’s best if he can hold on until the Special Effects Medicine is sessful. But in case he can’t, he’s worried he’ll suddenly fall into aa and won’t have time to exin anything. So he prepared everything in advance.”


    Charlotte looked down at the letter without saying a word.


    “Grandpa wanted me to get along with you and had you take me under your wing for two reasons,” Turner Daniel continued. “First, so you would consider our rtionship and protect the Santiago family in the future. Second, to make me wholeheartedly support you. He’s worried I’ll be unsatisfied and hold a grudge.”


    “Dean Yue is overthinking it,” Charlotte said.<div>


    Turner Daniel smiled, “Are you so confident in me, Daisy?”


    “If it weren’t for the Dean’s attack on M Continent, you wouldn’t have nned to enter the Research Institute,” Charlotte said. “If you didn’t even want to enter the Research Institute, how could you care about the position of Dean?”


    Turner Danielughed again, “True. I chose my university major specifically so I could enter Ryan Easton. That was my priority over entering the Research Institute.”


    “What about now?” Charlotte asked.<div>


    “Now…” Turner Daniel’s eyes tensed up, “Now I want to follow in Grandpa’s footsteps and do something for the Research Institute, for pharmaceutical formtions.”


    Charlotte nodded slightly, “That’s good, too.”


    …


    Being elected as Dean should be a happy event.


    But it was evident that Charlotte was not happy. Even when she was talking with them, she was forcing herself to carry on.


    The Lane Family felt a deep sympathy for her.


    I also wanted to take her home.


    But in the end, she went back with Kevin rk.


    They are her parents, her siblings.


    Often, they cannot reach the fragile ces in her heart.


    She only shows her vulnerability to Kevin rk.


    Rather than having her go home and pretend everything is fine with her family, it’s better to let her be with Kevin rk and feel more at ease.


    Charlotte Lane got into the car with Kevin rk, and after they were in the car, she read the letter from Dean Yue.<div>


    [Little New: Actually, when I was writing this letter, I didn’t want you to see it. But…you’ve opened it now. So it’s up to you to deliver it to the addressee.


    I want to apologize for pushing you into this position at this time.


    When I broke the rules and gave you the opportunity to join the research institute, I had ns to hand it over to you one day.


    I’m getting old and should have retired a long time ago.


    It’s just that I never found a suitable sessor. There are many people in the research institute, both young and old who seem capable of taking over.


    They might be good at research, but as for the position of the dean, no one can shoulder this responsibility.


    I had thought about having Kevin rk seed me, but he is elusive and unpredictable. Then I met you, and after a period of observation, I am very satisfied with you in all aspects. So I immediately removed him from the list of sessors.


    Originally, I nned to wait until the research institute was peaceful and settled before handing it over to you. But then I suddenly fell ill, which I did not expect.


    That’s why I did all this, just in case.


    Child, don’t feel burdened.


    What I’ve done is not for you but for the research institute. Or rather, I haven’t given much thought to your wishes in doing what I did for the institute.


    So you don’t need to feel guilty.


    I also have my own selfishness. I hope you can protect the Santiago family and Turner Daniel.<div>


    It could be said that I am using their affection to exploit you.


    With you in charge of the research institute, I can rest assured. I believe that the research institute will be better and better under your leadership……]


    Kevin rk sat next to Charlotte Lane.


    He didn’t look at the contents of the letter but saw her tears fall on the paper.


    “Little girl…” Kevin rk reached out to touch her head.


    Charlotte Lane clutched the letter and, after a while, turned around and buried herself in his chest.


    Kevin rk held her tightly, kissed the top of her head, and said, “L, we’ll protect the research institute and make it grow. That’s the best way to repay Dean Yue.”


    Charlotte Lane didn’t say anything.


    Thomas Firway was driving in front, and after a nce at the back, his mood also became downcast.


    Kevin rk felt her injured hand clutching his clothes, so he took her hand and held her fingers.


    He didn’tfort her further, he just patted her back gently, letting her express her emotions.


    The car was very quiet, and Thomas Firway drove smoothly.


    Gradually, quiet sobs and suppressed cries filled the car.<div>


    Kevin rk felt a pang in his heart and slightly furrowed his brows.


    Unlike thest time she injured her hand, Charlotte Lane didn’t deliberately cry in front of Kevin rk to divert his attention.


    This time she couldn’t help it…


    This letter was left by Dean Yue, fearing that she would feel guilty for Turner Daniel taking risks on her behalf.


    It’s true that the research institutees first for Dean Yue, but protecting her is also important.
