The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance

Chapter 134 One Name, One Choice

Grace accidentally let her true thoughts slip out.

Realizing her mistake, she quickly backtracked, “I didn’t mean it like that. I just think a house is too expensive–I was worried you couldn’t afford it.”

“You don’t need to worry. I’ll be buying it through a mortgage. When you bought that place, it was around 2.7 million. A few years have passed, and prices have dropped a bit. I want to buy it for two million. You’re in need of money right now anyway. With that two million and your remaining savings, you could move into a smaller apartment in the city.”

Grace hesitated.

She had been thinking about selling that house under Zayden’s name. After all, he’d need a place to live when he went to college, and living far out in the suburbs would be too inconvenient.

But given the current situation, selling a property quickly was easier said than done.

She hadn’t expected Eliza to want to buy it through a loan.

After a moment of thought, Grace gritted her teeth. “Two million… fine. But I want payment right away.”

“No problem.”

Eliza replied, “I’ll need Madam Grace to accompany me for the property paperwork, though.”

Grace agreed.

Eliza hung up.

She remembered–in her previous life, after the Holt family collapsed, Grace and Zayden ended up living in that very house.

Things went relatively smoothly for a while, but later, Zayden hit a wall with his business venture.

No one knew what to do, and then the city launched a redevelopment initiative. That house’s value skyrocketed.

It had gone from 2.7 million to 6 million–more than doubling.

So this time, Eliza couldn’t lose.

“You’re thinking about moving?”

A voice suddenly came from behind her.

Startled, Eliza turned around to find Nolan standing there. She hadn’t even noticed when he returned.

“You went out? When did you get back? I didn’t even notice.”

Chapter 134 One Name, One Choice

“I bought a few things.”

Nolan placed several exam supplies on the table. “The test is coming up. You’ll need these.”

Eliza got up and walked over to the table. Looking at all the supplies Nolan had bought, she almost laughed–she’d completely forgotten about that.

“Good thing you remembered. I definitely would’ve forgotten.”

She flipped through the materials. She’d used all these in her previous life, but it had been so long that the memories were almost gone.

“Just two more weeks. Are you confident?”

“Of course.”

Eliza had been studying day and night for this. She was ready.

“Then keep it up.”

Nolan tapped her on the head gently, then turned and went back to his room.

Eliza blinked.

What was that about?

Once in his room, Nolan messaged Henry.

Nolan: “Got it for you.”

The image was of Eliza’s SAT application form.

Her first–and only–choice was clearly written: Claire University.

Henry: “Didn’t she already tell you she wanted to apply to Claire University? Why’d you still need to check for yourself?”

Nolan: “Thanks.”

Henry: “… Did you even read my message?”

Nolan closed his phone and submitted his own SAT application form.

At the same time.

The homeroom teacher looked at the two applications and froze.

Thinking she’d misread something, she adjusted her glasses and looked again.

Both forms said Claire University.

Eliza and Nolan had both chosen the same school.

Startled, the teacher immediately called Eliza.

“Eliza, why did you only list Claire University? You do know how hard it is to get in, right? You should at least put down a backup choice…”

“Teacher, I already have an offer to study abroad. I just put this down randomly.”

That explanation finally eased the teacher’s nerves.

Thank goodness.

It was just a random choice.

But still… of all the options, why choose that one?

After hanging up, the teacher called Nolan next.

“Nolan, I saw your SAT application only listed Claire University. Are you sure you don’t want to write in a second choice? I know your grades are great, but it’s always smart to have a backup…”

If Nolan didn’t get into Claire University, he’d have to repeat the year.

That would be a huge headache for both her and the school. The graduation rate had to stay high.

“I’m only going to Claire University,” Nolan said calmly.

The teacher tried to say more, but Nolan had already ended the call.
