After the leaders from the school''s administration left the room, Joanna and her mother Marge stood frozen, holding a card with a bnce of a million dors and 8,000 dors in cash. They were so overwhelmed with emotion that they didn''t know what to do This was thergest sum of money Joanna had ever seen in her life.
Marge let out a bitterugh: her eyes welled up with tears
Joanna gripped the card tightly in her hand, along with the key to their new apartment.
At that moment, it felt like a dream.
Just yesterday, they had no ce to call home.
She had spent sleepless nights worrying about where their next meal woulde from.
But now, a tremendous surprise had arrived out of nowhere.
All the misfortunes they''d endured seemed to havee to an end.
Poverty had been a sorrowful, helpless thing.
The days spent struggling for survival had felt like standing on the edge of a cliff-above, a hungry beast Jurked; below, an endless abyss awaited.
The only thing they could cling to was a fragile vine that was being gnawed at by rats, ready to break at any
moment.
A wise person once described such difficult times as walking through a storm.
But in those miserable days, even a single straw could have been the end for them.
Thankfully, there was still the beauty of hope after hardship!
Joanna squeezed Marge''s hand tightly. She said, "The university''s leaders are incredible! They are truly doing everything they can for the students!" Marge nodded excitedly. Joanna, you must study hard!
"When you finish your studies, remember to give back to your alma mater.
"Let''s make sure that more excellent students, who like us are still suffering through hard times, will have a quiet environment to learn, grow, and change their fates!" Joanna nodded vigorously,
Brenda walked into the room and said, "Joanna, I just heard you won a million-dor prize! I''m so envious! I wonder when I''ll achieve something like that
"If I could earn a million dors through my own efforts. I would be so happy I wouldn''t be able to sleep for days and nights.

Marrisa gave Brenda a yful pat on the head. She said. That just means you''re not working hard enough. You should learn from Joanna.
Brenda immediately straightened up. She agreed, "Yeah, you''re right. I will definitely use Joanna as my role model and work hard to achieve sess." Joanna hugged Brenda andughed.
The two beautiful girls smiles brilliantly.
A ray of noon sunlight streamed through the window, casting a beautiful glow on Joanna''s face, making her even more stunning.
Robin watched their joyful expressions and felt an immense sense of relief.
He loved this warm, family-like feeling.
The world felt peaceful; the seasons passed gently.
Everything seemed so natural, warm, and carefree.
Joanna was still smiling. She nced at Robin, who was staring off into space.
She wiped a tear of happiness from her eye. "Since everyone is here. Let me treat you to a meal today,
"I told you before, once I received my award, I''d treat you all to a meal."
Robin chuckled and said, I have things to deal with today, so I can''t join you this time.
"But when you move into the apartment, I''ll definitelye over for a meal."
Before Joanna could respond, Catherine entered the room. "Robin!"
The room fell silent immediately.
Robin nced at Catherine, whose expression was unreadable. "What is it?"
"Come outside for a moment," Catherine said coldly.
Robin worried that Catherine might mention the Sydney situation. He quickly said goodbye to Joanna and Marge, then followed her outside the room.
Once they were outside, Catherine pulled Robin aside, her face glowing with delight. "How do you think I handled things today?"
Robin nodded, "You did well."
Catherine finally smiled. ''Since it went well, you should thank me. How will you thank me? You can take me out to dinner."
"Why should I thank you?" Robin smirked.
Catherine''s smile instantly disappeared. "Robin, you...

Robin sneered. "It''s your family that create those trash and makes a mess at Brighton University. You should take responsibility. Why should I thank you?" "You j*rk!" Catherine was so furious she couldn''t find the words.
Why couldn''t this man understand she was flirting with him?
Many men would queue up to dine with her, but this particr man showed no interest in her at all.
"What are you? How dare you speak so rudely to Ms. Catherine? Catherine''s maid shouted angrily.
p! The sharp sound of a p echoed in the air.
Catherine had pped her maid across the face.
"Who do you think you are? A servant daring to be disrespectful to Robin? Do you want to die?
"Remember this: if you ever disrespect Mr. Ramsey again, I''ll kill you!"
The maid jumped back in shock
Catherine had never struck her over a man.
I understand, Ms. Catherine. I won''t do it again."
The maid stepped forward and kneeled in front of Robin. "Sorry, Mr. Ramsey. I was rude."
Elliott rolled his eyes. What''s this, so pigs can fly now?
Catherine had fallen for Robin.
This was it.
Catherine was no longer the cruel and domineering woman.
"Robin, now that we''ve resolved the situation, what''s stopping you from treating me to dinner?" she said again.
Robin checked his watch and said, "I need to head back to the military base. Tomorrow we''re returning the ashes of the fallen hero back to his hometown. There''s a lot to do.
"Despite all the trouble your family has caused, I''m pleased to see you''re making progress.
With that, he turned to leave the restaurant.
Elliott quickly followed Robin.
Catherine stomped her foot in frustration. "Robin, wait for me! Hmph!
"Fine. This time, I''ll overlook your actions because you''re bringing yourrade''s ashes home. I forgive
you
"Hey, Robin, wait up! I''m going v
you to Brookhaven

Elliott drove Robin out of the university parking lot and immediately received a call from Ned Feron, the Major General of Draconia Special Forces.
""Mr. Elliott, I can''t stay in Brighton to drink with you today."
Elliot frowned and asked, "General Feron, what''s going on?"
Ned replied. Tve received orders. There''s a criminal organization near Howellstead, the provincial capital of Brookhaven, that''s been operating for years. The Special Forces are sending Brighton''s SWAT team. I can''t share the details right now." "Alright, with a mission, I won''t keep you for dinner." As Elliott was about to hang up, he suddenly remembered something.
"General Feron, did you say you''re going to Howellstead?"
"Yes, that''s the order I received. I don''t know any more details," Ned answered.
Elliott looked at Robin and said, "Santiago''s family is also in Howellstead."
