The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 268

At that moment, Travis and Sylvan stared at Citrine in utter disbelief, their faces a mirror of shock.

Crestwood University was the most prestigious college in the country; every graduate walked out an industry star. To be accepted without even taking the SAT -now that was impressive.

"Citrine, when did you get your acceptance letter?" Travis asked, the surprise clear in his voice. She'd never mentioned it before; this was the first he'd heard of

it.

Citrine thought for a moment. "About a year ago, I think." She remembered she'd just returned from abroad at the time.

"Then why didn't you just go straight to college?" Sylvan looked baffled. If he'd gotten an early acceptance, he wouldn't have bothered studying another day, let alone stress over the SAT.

Both Travis and the others turned to Citrine, equally curious.

Citrine met their gaze, answering at her own pace. "I just didn't want to jump into college so soon. I haven't had enough of high school yet. If I left now, I'd feel like I was missing something. Besides, even if I hadn't gotten the early admission, I know I'd still get into Crestwood on my own."
