Chapter 147 All Roads Lead to ire University

“Yeah, Henry asked if they could crash here, and I said sure.”

Finished

When Eliza turned around, she suddenly noticed Nn’s face had darkened. She blinked and asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you look kind of upset?”

“…Nothing.b” /b

Nn looked away.

At that moment, footsteps echoed outside the door.

Eliza opened it, and sure enough, Henry and the others were already standing there.

“Not bad, Elizze. This ce is pretty big.”

Henry was the first one in.

Lewis and Colton followed closely behind.

Seeing how the three of them didn’t act like guests at all, Nn’s face grew even darker.

“Nn, seriously? You came over by yourself? We should’ve alle together.”

Henry changed into slippers and plopped down onto the living room couch.

Eliza’s new ce had three bedrooms and plenty of space.

Lewis casually scanned theyout andmented, “This neighborhood’s environment is really nice. I bet property values here will go up a lot in the future. Elizze’s got a sharp eye.”

“Our Elizze?” Colton raised an eyebrow. “Since when did you start talking like that? Sounds pretty sappy.”

“Learned it from Henry and Nn. They’re already calling her Elizze and Eliza like it’s nothing.”

Lewis gave both of them a meaningful look.

Colton could sense something weird in the air.

Eliza was in the kitchen and hadn’t heard any of their conversation.

She came out carrying a tray and asked, “By the way, which universities did you all apply to?”

“ire University.”

“ire University,”

“ire University.”

All three of them answered in unison.

Eliza froze.

“You guys… you’re all going to ire University?”

She looked from one face to the next, utterly confused.

How had she not heard about this before?

Colton shrugged. “My family insists on ire University. I don’t have a choice.”

Lewis said, “Our family’s one of the investors in ire University. It’s only natural I go.”

Henry raised his hand too. “My folks always nned for me to go there. They even filled out my SAT application form for me.”

Then he looked at Nn and asked, “What about you, Nn? Where are you going?”

“…ire University.”

Eliza blinked. “You too? ire University?”

“…My family wants me to go there.”

Nn lied with a straight face.

Everyone except Eliza caught on immediately.

iHis /iifamily/ii? /i

iWhat /iifamily/ii? /i

Wasn’t Nn the one calling the shots in the Hayes family now?

Even if he said he didn’t want to go to college, no one would dare oppose him.

There wasn’t a single person who could force Nn to attend any school.

“Oh, right.”

Eliza thought about it. Every guy in this room came from a ridiculously rich family.

し

Each one was the son of a Westbrook elite. For them, getting into ire University was just a matter of lifting a finger.

“What about you?” Colton asked suddenly. “Which school did you put down?”

Before Eliza could respond, Henry and she both said in sync, “ire University.”

The room fell silent.

Colton turned to Henry. “How’d you know she applied to ire University?”

b2/3 /b

Eliza also looked at him. “Yeah, how’d you know that?b” /b

Henry instinctively nced at Nn.

Nn had asked him to check Eliza’s application, which was how he’d found out.

Now what was he supposed to say? That he saw it by ident?

b“/bI guessed.”

Henry shrugged. “I figured, since the rest of us were all applying to ire University, and Elizze’s such a top student, she’d probably go there too. Right?”

Eliza gave him a look. “Henry… that’s a pretty weak excuse.”

If he’d said literally ianything /ielse, she could’ve bought it. But ithat/ii? /i

“Okay, fine. I saw your SAT form.”

Nn sighed and rubbed his forehead.

Colton frowned. “Why were you looking at Eliza’s application?”

“I didn’t mean to. Hers was on top of the stack when I turned mine in. I just nced at it.”

Lewis asked dryly, “Then why act all sneaky about it?”

“… Because it’s embarrassing to admit I peeked. And clearly I suck at lying.”

Henry looked sheepishly at Eliza. “Elizze, I swear I didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t be mad, okay?”

“What’s there to be mad about?”

Eliza scrolled through her phone. “It’s just a college application.”

“What have you been staring at on your phone this whole time?”
