NovelEnglishChapter 482 Who knows-maybe, once she graduates, someone from the top will swoop in and take her away.
They certainly hit the jackpot with her.
Claire's arrival caused a bit of a stir, and it took quite stafter registration before they finally managed to leave the school grounds.
The four of them went out for a meal together, but then it was tfor Mr. Tempest and Orion to say their goodbyes.
Orion hugged Claire tightly, clearly reluctant to let go.
"Little sis, I'm really going to miss you," he said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClaire hugged him back. "I'll miss you too, big brother." Orion looked her in the eyes and promised, "Don't worry, Claire. I'll cvisit you every tI'm on break." It took a while before the family was finally able to part, with Mr. Tempest gently ushering Orion away. From that day on, Mrs. Tempest officially becClaire's school escort.
Every day, she would pick Claire up and walk her to and from school, rain or shine even though the school was less than five hundred meters from their house, she never once missed a day.
This was the kind of life Claire had only dreamed of in her previous existence.
Back when she lived with the Linwood family, she'd wake up at four in the morning just to catch a two-hour ride to school. Even at lunchtime, she never got to chfor a hot meal; she had to wait until evening, and by then, only cold leftovers were waiting for her.
Now, not only did she have loving parents, but her mom saw her off to school every morning, picked her up in the afternoons, and made her delicious, steaming meals every single day.
For the old Claire, such ordinary, peaceful days were an unattainable luxury.
So now that she had them, she cherished every moment.
As for Mr. Tempest and Orion, every other Friday evening they would cand spend the weekend with Claire and Mrs. Tempest, only heading back hlate Sunday night.
And just like that, four years passed in a blur.
During those four years, Claire only returned to Northcrest City for winter and summer breaks, reuniting with Sean, York, Zachary, and Daisy.
Even though their ttogether was brief, they never once made her feel like an outsider. No matter how brilliant her grades were, no matter how much of a prodigy she became, in their eyes, she was always just their sweet, soft-hearted Claire.
But this gentle, idyllic chapter cto an abrupt end on the day she graduated.
Over those four years, Claire's performance stood out in every possible way-she earned every scholarship the school had to offer, and every competition she entered, she won first prize.
Even before graduation, the Federated States of Bellatoria reached out with enticing offers, eager to recruit her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheir thinking was simple: Claire's talent was obvious to everyone. She was still a minor, her worldview not yet fully formed. If they could bring her over, mold her with their own education and values, both her heart and her skills would belong to Bellatoria.
A child prodigy like Claire could create unimaginable value over a lifetmaybe even invent something that would shock the world, further cementing Bellatoria's place as a global superpower.
For that reason, the Bellatorians were determined to bring her over, no matter the cost.
But they had seriously miscalculated.
The Tempest family was one of Northcrest City's four great om hauses if there was one thing they would never run out of, it was money.
Money can solve ninety-nine percent of life's problems. And if there was anything Claire wanted that money could buy, the Tempest family would make it happen. So, no matter what kind of conditions Bellatoria offered, Claire wasn't interested.
She had been raised and nurtured by Vesperia, and everything she'd learned, she wanted to use for her own country.
In her last life, the Linwood family had completely shattered her dream of going to college.
This taround, she treasured the chance to attend university moren than anything, which was why she poured herself into her studies with a level of dedication few could match. With her extraordinary mind and relentless effort, Claire's achievements at school left everyone else in the dust.
