After investigating Raeleigh’s identity, Marissa made up her mind. If there was such a person to help with the situation and ensure Deanna’s safety, then it was considered good news.
At the very least, Deanna’s safety was guaranteed. On the other hand, they would be able to tell who was trying to sabotage the matter.
As for Rayan, Marissa could only try to provide them an exnation. She believed that everything was going to be resolved.
Rayan was a smart man. Moreover, Hannah and Jenna were best friends. They would agree that this was good news too.
Marissa made up her mind. She called the dean of Elkton University to make sure the school took good care of Raeleigh.
Since the Richards family was making use of Raeleigh, they should at least give her something back in return.
After attending the early morning sses, Scarlette pulled Raeleigh to one side. As they were walking, Scarlette told her that the Richards Group was nning to hold apetition for car designing. Scarlette told Raeleigh that she was going to participate in thepetition, and she wanted Raeleigh to join too.
Raeleigh was surprised. She looked at Scarlette and said, “Howe I’ve never heard about this? Moreover, the Richards Group is a well-known multinationalpany. Why would they hold a car designingpetition among the students of Elkton University? Shouldn’t they be holding apetition and open it for everyone in the city instead? Don’t be fooled, Scarlette.”
Raeleigh had seen many university students falling for scams.
“Of course it’s true. It’s a real event. I have my way of knowing things. Just wait and see. Thepetition is going to be held in Elkton University,” Scarlette replied casually. Raeleigh felt even more confused and asked, “Why?”
“Come here, I’ll tell you.” Scarlette pulled Raeleigh to one side. They sat down somewhere quiet where there was no one around. Then, Scarlette said, “Do you know which family owns Elkton University?”
Raeleigh thought of Jepherson and she replied, “The Richards family?”
Scarlette nodded her head and said, “So?”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Raeleigh thought about it and replied, “So, the Richards Group is going to hold a car designingpetition in their own university because they want to hire talents into their ownpany. This way, they would be able to secure and expand their market.”
Scarlette nodded in agreement. “You’re so smart!”
Raeleigh kept quiet. She focused on the surroundings in silence. She was weighing if she should join thepetition.
“Raeleigh, are you going to apany me to join thepetition?” Scarlette asked as she tugged Raeleigh’s arm. Raeleigh lifted her head to look at Scarlette and replied, “We are students, and as students, we should focus on our studies now. If we were to join the car designingpetition, then we might put ourselves in trouble.”
“What kind of trouble?” Scarlette asked as she leaned on one side. Raeleigh was worried about many things. She was not in a good state financially and all she wanted was to finish her studies. If something bad happened due to thepetition that would ruin her studies, then it would be a huge loss to her.
“If I were to join thepetition, then I’ll have toe up with a design and it’s going to take up my focus. I still have to study and deal with my dissertation. Also, I have to spend time gaming too.” Raeleigh had put her hopes in earning all of her allowances off the game. She managed to earn fifty dors from the game the night before.
If this went on as she hoped, then she would be able to buy her grandmother some supplements after a week.
Although supplements weren’t the most effective thing,they would still help improve her grandmother’s health. Raeleigh didn’t want her ns to be ruined.
Scarlette replied, “Is ying the game part of your schedule now?”
Scarlette was astonished.
“It is. Didn’t we just earn some money off itst night?” Raeleigh walked somewhere else and Scarlette followed behind her. Scarlette thought about how a bunch of them went to steal a treasure chest, and they were able to sell it for fifty dors per person. She felt frustrated because she wanted to fight more monsters after that but Raeleigh wasn’t willing. In the end, each of them only managed to earn fifty dors.
Fifty dors! That wasn’t even enough for her to buy one meal.
Nheless, Raeleigh was happy with it. She was truly in awe.
“By the way, are we going to hunt for the treasure chest tonight?” Raeleigh was very interested in the treasure chest that gave her fifty dors. She earned the money without being distracted from her studies. She figured it was well worth it.
“Don’t change the topic. I’m talking about us joining the car designingpetition held by the Richards Group. Are you going to join?” Scarlette had no choice but to be aggressive as she had toplete her mission.
Raeleigh shook her head and said, “I don’t have any designs. I’m not going to join.”
“What do you mean you don’t have any designs? Didn’t you just draw one the other day in our dorm?”
“That was just a random sketch. It can’t be qualified.” Raeleigh thought that if she were to do something, then she would do her best in it or not participate at all.
“I don’t think so. I think that you just need to work a little harder on that original design that you have, and it would easily win you an award. I think the most important part is not the award but the cash prize,” Scarlette said with a serious face. Raeleigh took a few steps forward before pausing and turning around to look at Scarlette. “Won’t the winner of thepetition get to work in the Richards Group after graduation?”
“What are you thinking about? The Richards Group doesn’t have that much money to feed that many of us. They clearly stated in the terms and conditions that the winning design would be bought by them. The design would then be modified by the Richards Group and to be mass-produced. On the other hand, the winner would also be getting a hundred thousand dors of cash reward. Regarding what you said, I’ve never heard of that condition. I just want to get the cash prize. It’s fine if you don’t want to join.”
Scarlette spoke as she shrugged her shoulders. “Is there really a hundred thousand dors cash reward?” Raeleigh asked in shock.
“What else could it be? Do you think I would lie to you? It’s not like I have a hundred thousand dors to give you.”
Raeleigh thought for a while and said, “Is there a registration fee for thepetition?”
“I think money is all you think about now. How about this? Join thepetition with me. If I were to win first prize, then I’ll give you twenty thousand dors from my share. If you were to win thepetition, then you’re giving me twenty thousand dors. I’ll pay for the registration fee for you,” Scarlette said. Raeleigh thought about it and replied, “I’ll give you money for the registration fee.”
“Forget about it. It’s not a lot of money anyway.” Scarlette shook her hand. They finally decided on the matter.
The next day, Elkton University put up a notice that the Richards Group will be holding a car designingpetition within the university. It was open to all students of the university despite what major they were in and everyone was encouraged to join. Students who do not major in car design were allowed to participate in thepetition too.
All of a sudden, the whole Elkton University was talking about it and there were more than a hundred people who signed up on the first day.
“Look, there are so many people signing up for thepetition.” Scarlette stood at the end of the line, waiting to register for thepetition. Raeleigh looked at her and said, “There are so many people here, let’s just forget about it.”
“The more people there are, the more reason we have to join thepetition and showcase our skills. Why give up now?” Scarlette pulled Raeleigh back. On the other hand, Raeleigh thought that they shouldn’t be signing up for it.
After they returned from signing up for thepetition, Raeleigh stared at the entry card in a daze. “Am I really going to participate in thepetition?” She wondered.
