"Where are your parents?" Mr. Whitock asked.

Yesseca lowered her voice and said, "My parents have passed away, it's just me in that apartment,"

Peter's heart skipped a beat.

This girl is from a poor family and has lost both of her parents at such a young age.

He figured that her family might have been poor, but she was probably doing ok for herself.

After all, Yesseca looked like she was doing quite well.

"Where do you work?" Peter asked.

"At the business mall, I sell clothes. If you're ever in the market for a suit or some new clothes, you should visit us sometime," Yesseca said.

Peter's heart sank.

She's a saleswoman for a clothing store?

"Where did you graduate from?" Peter assumed she had probably gone to a rather ordinary university to have ended up selling clothes.

Yesseca replied, "I've never been to university Mr. Whitlock,"

Peter was speechless.

His heart was palpitating.

He had hoped that despite her family's poor background, she would be able to make up for it with her own personal effort. However, he didn't expect Yesseca to be just as poor. Even if she was a salesgirl, she didn't even get herself an education from a university.

He remembered that Kylin graduated from a first-class foreign university.

This...

Peter had a headache.

Why did Kylin find himself such a woman?

He and his cousin, Tobias, were just the same.

Peter suddenly found that there was very little he could discuss with Yesseca.

Kylin then returned with a cup of coffee.

Peter took the cup of coffee and said, "It's quite late. You should send her home,"

Kylin and Yesseca left,
