Chapter 23 Can You Not Go?
Luther's face fell once the group was out of his sight. With a dark look, he approached Myrna.
"Myrna."
Myrna was engrossed in the brochure, finding the common healthcare knowledge fascinating with the illustrations.
She lifted her head and saw Luther striding over imposingly. She arched a brow and put the brochure back on the shelf. Shoving her hands in her pockets, she asked aloofly, "What do you want?" Luther was enraged by her arrogant attitude. He schooled his expression and pushed down the anger. "I need to ask you about something."
Before Myrna could reply, he asked commandingly, as if he were seeking
accountability, "Are you going to keep on studying

in Melcester?"
Myrna narrowed her eyes. Her eyelids were thin and her skin was pale, so her pupils looked extra dark. When she stared at someone with her dark and bright eyes, it was intimidating.
Feeling uneasy, Luther explained, "Outside of Watershed Restaurant, Mrs. Payne said that you were enrolling in Melcester Central High School. I want to ask you if it's true,
"Isn't your grandpa from River Town? Why would he decide to let you stay in Melcester for high school? The state government has support projects 'for River Town's educational system every year. So, the schools there are fine. It's unnecessary to study in Melcester. As long as you study hard, I believe you can get into an ideal university regardless of your school..
Myrna snorted inwardly.
Everyone in Corbourne State knew that Melcester had the best educational resources. The ranking of the students of Melcester was basically the ranking

of the students of the whole state. Only a few students from other areas could make it into the top 200.
Although Rainville was a second-tier city, it didn't have many students who were on the list of the top 200 students in the state.
Not to mention that River Town was just a poverty-stricken town.
She thought, "Luther is good at lying through his teeth.
Her phone happened to ring at that moment. Myrna glanced at the caller ID. It was Calvin. She assumed he was calling to tell her to go upstairs. She looked up at Luther's keen eyes and said coldly, "Just speak your mind. There's no need to beat around the bush." Being straightforward could be much less taxing for both of them.
Luther didn't look ashamed and immediately said, "Myrna, can you not go to Melcester Central High

School?"
Myrna was stunned by his audacity.
She stared at him, her eyes cold. "Why?"
• Luther was reluctant to speak the truth, but he did it anyway. "Stephanie is referred to Hebbury College of Art. If you go to Melcester Central High School, it may be bad for her... Her classmates all know about our family's drama and they will gossip."
Stephanie got into the Hebbury College of Art?
Myrna pursed her lips to suppress the mocking smirk.
She was well aware of Stephanie's grade. She barely stayed in the top 50 of their grade because the Stark family paid a fortune to hire a tutor who also needed to design mock examinations for Stephanie at the end of every term. Besides Melcester Central High School, Melcester had about 8 other high schools. Stephanie's ranking wasn't high on the ranking of Melcester's students.

Chapter 2) Can You Not Go?
If she wanted to get into a good university, she had to portray herself as an art student.
"I think Elite High School is a good choice. I talked to your mom and grandpa and decided that we could pay for your tuition at Elite High School if you're determined to stay in Melcester. What do you think?"
As if Luther was afraid of Myrna's refusal, he added in a caring tone, "Elite High School is as good as Melcester Central High School.
"And Elite High School's tuition is much more expensive as it's a private school. I heard that the canteen and dormitory there are nice. Your grandpa needs to return to River Town eventually. Even if he could pull some string to get you into Melcester Central High School, your family couldn't stay in Melcester to accompany you as they don't have a house here. You're going to be a resident student anyway. You should find a school with better living conditions."
