A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up Novel

Chapter 279 Give it back ! +25 BONUS Ariana instinctively stood up , reaching for the paper in Victors hand .

But Victor , holding a wine glass in one hand , had already turned around and sat on the couch .

He casually flipped through her paper .

With her limited mobility , Arlana would have to approach Victor directly to retrieve her work .

In the end , she simply sat down on the couch and ignored him .

Victor , however , seemed to be genuinely engrossed in her essay .

The corners of his lips occasionally curled into a faint smile .

Seeing his amused expression , Ariana felt increasingly certain that Victor was mocking her lack of insight .

She said , I just scribbled down my ideas .

Is it really that funny ? Who coached you on the essay ? Your professor ? Victor asked , a trace of curiosity in his tone as he looked at Ariana .

No one .

I just came up with it on my own .

Its totally random ! Ariana replied hastily , feeling a bit flustered under his scrutiny .

Unable to sit still , she got up and approached Victor , intending to Snatch the paper back .

Victor made no effort to stop her .

He allowed her to snatch her economic analysis paper from his hands .

He remarked , Its actually pretty well written .

If you submit this as your thesis, I think youll graduate without a problem .

Really ? Have you studied at Glea College or something ? No.

How can you promise Id graduate ? Ariana knew Victor hadnt been to college .

She casually folded the paper and stuffed it into her pocket .

Glea College students are all children of entrepreneurs , magnates , or even politicians .

Their perspective is leagues ahead of mine .

This paper of mine would just embarrass me if I submitted it .

Is that what you really think ? Victor asked , looking at her thoughtfully .

Shouldnt I ? Everything I said is the truth .

Victor had been about to tell her that she had no idea how smart she actually was .

But a smile flickered across his face at her complete lack of confidence .

He said , Ive read your paper its full of thorough analysis and countless technical terms .

It shows that you have your own reasoning about economics .

Its a fresh perspective in academia .

Thats why I said you should submit it as your thesis .

Really ? Ariana looked at him skeptically .

Are you messing with me ? After all , you didnt even go to college .

She instantly regretted her words .

Most powerful and influential people hated it when others pointed out their shortcomings , and she assumed Victor would be no exception .

But Victor seemed unbothered .

He replied casually , Youre right , I didnt go to college .

But those who did are working for me .

Education is important , but intelligence is even more important .

Even though I didnt go to college , those highly educated +25 BONUS Chapter 270 graduates belong to my company .

Does that make sense to you ? Are you bragging about yourself ? Ariana said , unconvinced .

She had never thought of herself as particularly smart .

Growing up , her dad never had high expectations of her .

He didnt even care if she went to college , as long as she lived a happy , carefree life .

That was why she never took her studies seriously .

Even her acceptance into Glea College felt , to her , like a favor her dad had pulled strings for .
