Chapter 455 Rick, God of Academia
“Wise up. Even if what you said today was true, do you think Robert’s going to prop you up as his
savior afterwards? Can’t you see he’s devoted entirely to his wife right now? All you’ve done was to
have him lighten his punishment of you a little at the most. Do you think he’s going to put you on a
pedestal for saving his life? If you hadn’t done all this and said it outright, he might really develop some
respect for you. But they’ve got proof now and he knows what you’re doing behind his back. You really
think he’s going to look kindly upon you? How could I gave given birth to such a stupid daughter!”
Milton really did feel like his daughter was stupid. He’d never realized how oafish her methods had
been. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
If she really liked Robert, she could have just spoken up about her saving his life, then tried to get close
to him.
But Eliana instead tried to deal with Georgia from the shadows, knowing that Robert loved her while
still getting ghostwriters to slander her.
Forget that, she let them find evidence, and come to his own house for him to deal with her.
Every step she’d taken was dumb!
“What good as it going to do telling me all that, Dad? When my mother got into the stock shares, half of
the Warner family’s stocks should be in my hands. And now you’re booting me out before Robert and
stripping me of all my inheritance? You think your bastard sons out there are going to inherit it? Don’t
even think about it!”
Eliana lost it with her own father as well. As she spat out her warning, Milton’s face changed.
“Did you think I wanted to expel you? Robert already told me before you came in that if I didn’t deal
with it properly today, he’d cut all business ties between the Simpson family and the Warner family. It’s
not just going to hurt the Warners, but other factories and companies are going to follow along. At that
point all our stockholders are going to withdraw and no company’s going to work with us. Do you still
think the Warner family can have it made?
“We’ll just go broke right away, and the stocks in your name will be nothing more than scrap paper. If
you hadn’t started troubled out there, this wouldn’t have happened at all today. Get yourself home and
stay there nice and easy. When the results come out tomorrow, you’d better beg Robert and admit to
your mistake honestly with Miss Lane. Otherwise, even if I wanted to protect you, I’d have to see if
Robert would agree!”
At that, Eliana hung her head and grew silent as Milton brought her back home.
Georgia and Robert had also driven home as well.
The two were silent all along the road, and while Georgia didn’t know what Robert was thinking, she
was pondering something as well.
It was clear that Eliana had liked Robert from a long time ago.
She’d even tried to approach him slowly before and come together naturally. Probably during college.
But it hadn’t succeeded.
Logically speaking, if Eliana had told him that she’d saved his life, the two’s relationship should have
been closer and better.
But a year ago, Robert hadn’t mentioned it, which meant that Eliana had never spoken up about this
before.
It didn’t fit her personality.
Georgia didn’t understand why Eliana was only speaking up about this when her back was against the
wall.
It didn’t seem like she was lying. After all, the results were going to come out tomorrow at the latest.
Robert had already sent people around the Warner family, and he wasn’t going to let Eliana escape
today.
Even if Eliana wanted to lie to delay things, it wasn’t possible either.
Thinking about it all, Georgia didn’t understand Eliana’s intentions.
When they arrived home, it was dark.
But they didn’t miss dinner, so they ate with Annie and Wesley.
Afterwards, husband and wife went with the children to playroom and played around with puzzles and
all sorts of games. The night passed.
Before bedding down, Robert received a call from his secretary.
“Sir, I’ve already found a suitable home tutor. His background checks out. He grew up as in orphan in a
simple environment. He’s currently a student at D City University studying for his master’s and his PhD
all at once. He gets almost full marks in every subject. He was the first ranked in his year of public
exams. If he was the tutor, he could teach every subject at once with no need to hire more.”
“Send over his data. I’ll take a look myself and dig deeper. If there are no problems, have him come
over in a few days.”
Robert’s previous request of his secretary had been to not hire too many tutors. If they had one tutor for
every subject, that would multiply the risks a great deal.
The tutors were going to be with their children, after all. That meant that several tutors had to be
watched at once.
If one tutor could take responsibility for all the homework, then they just had to keep an eye on this one
person.
The secretary did work fast, though, finding a person who could take care of all of it at once.
Robert hung up, got back to the bedroom, and downloaded that person’s information.
The man’s name was Rick, and had just turned twenty-six this year. In another year, he’d probably
graduate with a doctorate. He was a master’s PhD student in physics at D City University.
Robert looked at the man’s academic information. Nothing but excellence since elementary.
When it came to high school public exams, he’d gotten full marks in math, physics and chemistry,
getting straight into DCU, and only got marks off in languages. He was good enough to graduate as an
honor student, though, and became a student of DCU.
As an orphan, he was also clever enough for government departments to take care of him all these
years, letting him sail through his education with scholarships every year. It really was a simple case of
excellence.
Robert sent Georgia the information.
“I had my secretary look for a tutor. It seems a bit of a waste of his abilities to let him teach Annie and
Wesley elementary school knowledge.”
Georgia clicked open the file, looked over it, and chuckled strangely.
“I know this guy.
“Back before I got expelled, he held a speech representing the new year of students. Vanessa told me
at the side that he was crazy smart, coming in with full marks in all the STEM classes. The assistant
dean had gone and asked him to come to the school personally, promising several hundred thousand
in scholarships. Back then, Vanessa also said that it seems like he’s walking straight down the path of
the scientist in the future. Now that he’s going after a physics degree, he really might become an
amazing physicist in the future.”
“Seems like you appreciate him a lot.”
Robert said that suddenly, while Georgia smiled and nodded.
“Don’t you appreciate such an excellent person? I worked so hard back then and couldn’t get full marks
in any of my STEM classes. I admire these giants, no, gods of academia, you know.”
At that, Georgia turned to Robert.
“You seemed to have gotten good grades back then, but you went for university overseas and didn’t do
the national exams. Your level can’t be judged, then.”
“If I worked hard, I could get full marks in my STEM classes too.”
Robert said that right in front of Georgia.
“Come on. Someone that incredible only comes along once every few decades. I know you’re pretty
awesome yourself, but in front of absolute godhood, let’s both be a bit humbler, okay?”
“How about we go for another tutor?”
Robert said that all of a sudden.
“Why? I feel like the kids would grow up to be great students if he taught them. Students like this Rick
should have great study habits. I’m telling you, when kids are young, the most important thing isn’t the
amount of knowledge they take in, but developing regular life and study habits. That’s especially crucial
for children.”
Robert wrapped Georgia in his arms, grinning.
“Don’t you find it inappropriate praising another man in front of your husband? I want some
recompense.”
