Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 478

“Why would you think that? Although I really want to help you, you’ve refused my offer before. I won’t do such a thing again.

“I’m not lying. This was donated by a Calirinan entrepreneur. You’re not the only one who will receive the money. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around. There are so many Calirinan students,” Karter immediately explained.

Jessica stared at him for a moment. After confirming that he was not lying, she looked away.

“But the amount of the scholarship is much higher than before. Did the donor make any other requests?” Jessica still asked worriedly.

Some entrepreneurs‘ donations were conditional.

That was, after they graduated, the scholars had to work in their company.

This might be an opportunity for others, but not for Jessica.

Her goal was to repay Marina after she finished her studies.

She couldn’t go anywhere else.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve investigated it. The donor has no conditions. You can spend this money without any burden.”

“No strings attached?”

Could he really be a kind entrepreneur?

“Jessi, this is a great thing. You should be happy.

“You have a very good academic talent, and with this money, you can focus on your research.”

“Thank you,” Jessica thanked him gently.

After leaving Karter’s office.

Jessica still felt that it was a little unrealistic.

But she believed Karter wouldn’t lie to her.

Perhaps it was really because she was lucky.

After all, there were many philanthropic entrepreneurs in Calirina.

Jessica thought that she still had to find out who donated it so that she could repay this favor.

At the same time, Peter received a call.

“Mr. Moore, it’s done as you instructed. The person you mentioned is also on the donation list.”

A sense of ease showed on his face upon hearing of the call.

“She shouldn’t have noticed anything strange, right?” Peter asked suspiciously.

“That won’t happen. This donation was made in the name of a domestic charity foundation.

“Mrs. Campbell will never trace it back to you, the other side promised again.

“Okay.” Peter didn’t say anything else and hung up.

As long as she got the money, everything would be fine.

Her life would be better then.

Meanwhile, the next day, Jessica received the scholarship that Karter mentioned.

The amount was exactly as he had said.

Jessica also secretly made an investigation today.

There were other students sharing on Reddit and Twitter that they had also received this scholarship.

So it was not exclusive to her. Jessica finally accepted the scholarship.

Because Karter had always wanted to help her secretly.

So she was suspecting that the money was from Karter.

Although Karter was a good person, she did not want to owe anyone a favor.

Every time he offered her a part–time job, she would also give him a gift to express her gratitude.

This was a very reasonable friendship. Courtesy demanded reciprocity.

If he tried to sacrifice his own money in the name of charity, he would have crossed the line.

After Jessica received the money, she began to seriously plan the use of each penny.

She realized that there was still quite a bit left after completing the plan,

After all, other than the necessities of life, she did not have any other social spending.

There were not many areas to spend money.

It seemed that she did not have to work at the flower shop anymore.

The translation work could also be quit.

Then, she would make use of all his time studying.

She might be able to finish school soon and return to Calirina carly.

She was wondering if Marina would be unhappy with her for leaving without saying goodbye.

When she was back, she had to apologize to Marina properly.

Jessica lay on the bed and fell asleep soon.

And the next morning, she was woken up by a knock on the door.

She got up in a daze and saw through the peephole that it was the landlord standing outside.

She opened the door.

“Hello, Jessi.” The landlord was a very talkative old man.

He was a little bit stingy, but there were no other shortcomings.

“What can I do for you?” Jessica asked in fluent Esmonish.

After the landlord’s explanation, Jessica finally understood the purpose of his visit.

He said that his house had reached the end of its lifespan, so the government was now preparing for demolition.

“So you mean that I have to move out?” Jessica looked surprised.

She added, “But time is not permitting. How could I find another place to live? When do we move out?”

“No, no, no, you don’t need to find a new house. However, the landlord waved at her.

“What do you mean? The house was going to be demolished. Shouldn’t she move away?

“The house is going to be demolished. That’s true. But the government is going to compensate me for another new house.

“That house was newly built this year with well–equipped facilities. If you don’t mind, you can move there directly. It’s even closer to your school,” the landlord explained.

“Is that true?” When Jessica heard this, her worries vanished in an instant.

“Of course it is. You’re a very good tenant.” The landlord was all smiles.

“But… If it’s a new house, will the rent double?” Jessica raised another question.

Although she had just received a large sum of scholarships, she couldn’t waste it.

Otherwise, if there was an accident in the future, it would be hard for her to get through it without enough money.

“Don’t worry. The rent is still the same.” The landlord looked generous.

“Still the same? Are you sure?” For a moment, Jessica wondered if she had hallucinations.

This old man had always been stingy.

How would he rent her a better house at the original price? This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“The original price is only for the original tenants of this building. After all, the demolition notice came suddenly. I must be responsible for chasing you out in such a hurry.

“What’s more, according to the contract we’ve signed before, the price will remain unchanged within the duration stipulated

in the contract.

you live longer than the time limit, then I will definitely raise the price, right?” The landlord said in a firm tone.

Well, this was what the landlord used to be like.

“I understand.” Jessica nodded.

“So are you going to continue renting my house or look for another one?” the landlord asked again.

“Since you’ve already given ine such a special offer, of course, I’ll continue to rent it.”

“You’ve made a great decision. I’ll send the address to your phone later. You’re such a hard–working girl. I’ll let you be the first to choose the room.” The old man was smiling.
