Chapter 686: Chapter 689: No One Can Be More Eccentric than Him (Additional 1)
“That child called Nolan Lucas was also very smart. He graduated from elementary school at the age of eight. Because of this, Theodore Lucas held a banquet for him outside, inviting his business partners to celebrate for his ‘eldest son’.”
“What’s ridiculous is that he didn’t know that, at the time when he was holding a banquet for Nolan, eight-year-old Ethan Wilson had already passed the written test for Elton High School and was on a flight to Y Country to attend the admission interview.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He had two sons; clearly, Ethan Wilson was more outstanding, but the biased Theodore could never see it.
“Of course the interview went well, and our Ethan brought back the admission letter. Then, he clamored for me to call his father back because he wanted to hand the admission letter to his father in person.”
Madam Lucas’s voice had become lower and hoarser with each passing sentence.
These memories were too painful for her.
Lily Gray couldn’t help but stand up, walk over to Madam Lucas, take her hand, and squat down, “Madam… don’t be sad, it’s all in the past. Ethan was so great, getting an admission letter from Elton High School at the age of eight, even… even if that person didn’t like him, he should have felt proud at that time, right?”
For such an amazing Ethan Wilson, even if they were not parents, ordinary onlookers would also consider him an honor, right?
As Lily thought this, she heard Madam Lucas sneer, “Humph, would he feel proud? That unfilial son, his eyes only held his true love and his deep-rooted commitment! Do you know what he said when I finally managed to call him back home, hoping he would praise Ethan?!”
“What did he say?”
An admission letter from Elton High School, even if that man’s heart had leaned away, he couldn’t possibly ignore this fact, could he?
“After getting the letter, he sneered and then tore up the admission letter in front of Ethan.”
“Tore it… why?!” Lily Gray was really furious, how could that man do such a thing.
Even if he didn’t see Ethan as his son, he shouldn’t…
“Heh, simply put, he never believed that Ethan could get admitted to Elton High School. He tore up the admission letter, threw the pieces in front of Ethan’s face, and then, with a straight face, spoke to Ethan for the first time with such a length.”
“What did he say?”
“He said, ‘You should learn from your brother and stop depending on the power of the Lucas family to deceive. In the past, you obtained awards by relying on the Lucas family. It was tolerable if you just made a fuss in Eastonia. I didn’t expect you to lose face abroad. Elton High School… Ethan Wilson, how much money did you make your father spend for you? You are not as intelligent as Nolan, but I had anticipated this, so I don’t blame you. But don’t take everyone for a fool. Don’t do such deceptive things again, it will only make me despise you even more.’
“After finishing these words, he left without looking back… Little did he know that, little Ethan, watching his back, shed tears for the first time.”
Tears…
Ethan Wilson actually cried.
Even knowing that he was only eight years old then, Lily Gray couldn’t imagine how that strong and proud man, his self-esteem trampled by his biological father, his efforts denied by his own father, could have cried in sadness.
Lily Gray covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
“Lily, do you think that’s the end? No, this is nothing compared to Theodore’s bias from the beginning!”
Madam Lucas continued to explain that after this incident, Ethan’s smile had disappeared for a long time.
He also stopped attending Elton High School and instead downgraded to go to the prestigious middle school that Nolan attended.
Ethan received an elite education since he was a child, and his abilities had long been suitable to attend foreign prestigious high schools. The prestigious middle school in A city was more than willing to accept him when he decided to step down.
From then on, he ranked first in every exam, always leading Nolan, who ranked second, by a large margin.
