Chapter 23 Which Girl Can Make William So Attentive
After Bianca fell down the stairs, Isabella immediately ran over to help her up, very concerned about her condition.
Who would have thought the truth would be like this - Tobias's expression instantly became complicated.
He suddenly remembered what Isabella had said, that she didn't push Bianca, that she was wrongly accused.
She was actually... really wrongly accused.
When Bianca fell, he heard her say she felt someone push her from behind, and almost immediately decided it was Isabella who pushed Bianca.
He didn't listen to her explanation at all.
Later when Isabella said she wanted to check the hospital surveillance, he didn't help her verify it either.
Because subconsciously he rejected her. Like Gabriel, he saw Isabella's arrival as a threat to Bianca. He loved his sister Bianca very much and naturally didn't want her to be wronged, so he really couldn't develop any good feelings toward someone who made Bianca suffer.
When Isabella first returned to this family, he was completely indifferent to her, paying no attention.
But Isabella always took the initiative to talk to him, though in his eyes, these were all tactics to win them over.
His heart was biased toward Bianca, so the more Isabella acted like she wanted to connect with him, the more resistant he became.
Until the incident of Bianca falling down the stairs - Isabella crossed his bottom line. In his view, she hurt Bianca and angered him, so there was no way he would listen to her "excuses." He even thought checking the surveillance was unnecessary.
No wonder Isabella suspected he deliberately prevented her from checking the surveillance, suspected he deliberately framed her, and said he had a guilty conscience.
From her perspective, she really was "framed."
Tobias never expected things to be this way. Looking at the evidence in front of him and thinking about his attitude toward this matter from beginning to end, a faint sense of guilt rose in his heart.
Did he do something wrong?
——
In the living room of the Taylor Villa.
"Mrs. Taylor, I couldn't get Joseph's contact information, but I got Ewan Miller's."
Yves hurried in, bringing a note with a number written on it to Olivia.
Olivia paused slightly while drinking her coffee. "Ewan?"
"Ewan is Joseph's son."
Olivia put down her coffee cup and picked up the note.
That made sense - Joseph's contact information wasn't easy to get. Probably very few people knew it.
"Being able to contact Ewan works too." Olivia raised her eyebrows, took out her phone, entered the number, and made the call.
Soon, the call was answered.
A young man's voice came through. "Hello?"
"Hello." Olivia made her tone very polite. "Is this Ewan Miller?"
"Yes, it is."
"Ewan, hello. I'm Mrs. Taylor. The thing is, I heard Mr. Miller's contract with the Anderson Family has expired, so I wanted to ask if Mr. Miller is still taking students?"
Ewan was slightly stunned before reacting. "You're looking for my dad?"
"Yes, unfortunately I don't have Mr. Miller's contact information, so I had to bother you..."
Ewan said straightforwardly, "My dad's contract with the Anderson Family has indeed expired. He is considering taking new students recently, but my dad has pretty high requirements for student qualifications. SAT scores can't be outside the top hundred in the city. Does your child meet the requirements?"
Olivia was delighted. "Yes, my daughter scores over 1400 on every SAT practice test."
"Alright then. Since you've already called me, send over your daughter's information and transcript. I'll pass this on to my dad, but the final decision is still up to him."
"Okay, I'll send it to you right away."
After hanging up, Olivia quickly organized Bianca's transcript herself, even including competition awards, and sent everything over.
On the other side, Ewan had just hung up when he heard footsteps from outside.
"Dad, you're back?"
Ewan quickly went over and honestly told him everything from the phone call.
But Joseph waved his hand. "Not taking students anymore. I've been assigned."
"What?" Ewan looked at him in surprise. "Dad, what assignment do you have?"
"William asked me to tutor a girl."
"Mr. Brown?" Ewan was even more surprised. "He actually has this kind of need?"
Joseph raised his eyebrows proudly. "Right? This is the first time he's come to me."
"Dad, are you going?" Ewan asked.
"Of course I'm going. Why wouldn't I? Don't forget, I still owe him a favor. This favor has to be repaid eventually."
"But more importantly..."
Ewan's eyes widened. "What is it?"
Joseph said, "I want to see... what kind of girl could make William care so much."
Joseph suddenly thought of something and immediately took out his phone to call William.
The call connected, and Joseph quickly said, "I forgot to ask earlier - your girl, how are her grades?"
"Very good," William said.
"What about her personality?"
"Good."
Joseph's eyes rolled. "And she..."
"Good."
Joseph: "..."
Well, if William could give such definite answers without even listening to the full question.
She must really be a "good" student.
Joseph breathed a slight sigh of relief. "You didn't say what level you want me to bring her to?"
"1500 points is enough."
Joseph immediately felt more relieved.
That requirement wasn't too high for a top student.
But Joseph still had to ask, "How much does the girl usually score?"
William thought for a moment, pulled out a transcript from a stack of documents on his desk, and looked through it.
His eyes fell on the score column, and his thin lips parted. "800 points."
"I'm talking about the total score," Joseph said.
"Yes." William nodded slightly. "I'm talking about the total score too."
Joseph: "............"
——
After Olivia organized Bianca's transcript and sent it to Ewan, she couldn't help thinking about Isabella.
800 points.
She had the nerve to score that low.
Olivia thought that even answering with her feet wouldn't result in something this bad.
With grades like that, and still unwilling to get tutoring - what was she thinking?
Olivia took a deep breath and went to knock on Isabella's door with a cold face.
The door opened, and Isabella stood at the doorway looking bored. "What is it?"
Seeing her unmotivated appearance, the anger Olivia had just calmed down flared up again. "Can't you learn from Bianca?"
Isabella casually raised her eyes. "Learn what from her?"
Olivia clenched her hands and directly threw the contract at her. "I don't care whether you're willing or not. Starting tomorrow, you must get tutoring!"
This matter was not up for discussion.
Isabella was confused for a second, then looked down at the contract in her hand.
The name "Matthew" on it was glaring.
Isabella's brows furrowed, and her eyes looked at Olivia with fire in them. "Didn't I say? I don't want him to teach me!"
