Carlisle smirked triumphantly.

Gordon cut in sharply, “Look at you now! You’re acting as if you’re really going to get into Riverland University!”

Hilda pinched Gordon’s arm hard and asked, “Who was the one who wholeheartedly believed that he

Gordon rubbed his arm and turned to the balcony to smoke.
