Marrisa was still shaken by the panic she'd just felt. Glancing up, she noticed Robin gazing blankly out the rain-streaked window.

Following his gaze, she saw two figures, Joanna and Marge, walking side by side in the dim, rainy twilight. Her heart fluttered with a sudden pang of sadness.

With the cold wind blowing and rain falling, the sight of Joanna and Marge-frail and thin-became at hauntingly poignant scene on the long, empty road.

In a hushed voice, Marrisa asked, "Robin, should we help them?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Elliott turned his attention to Robin as well.

Robin sighed softly. Wo, let them go their own way. I don't want to disturb their calm. They be happier that way.

Marrisa nodded in agreement, understanding his point. She looked back out the window at th

women, soaked yet smiling in the rain.

It reminded her of the tough times she had endured with Robin and Brenda in Chinatown-those difficult days when just being together as a family brought happiness. That was the simple, deep joy that people of humble hearts and modest means truly valued.

No wealth could ever replace such genuine happiness. Thinking of Robin's harsh treatment toward that family, she finally understood.

There were always gentle souls struggling below while others, with only a hint of money, bullied them, trying to assert their worth.

Those kinds of people deserved no sympathy!

The convoy from Northlorn Residence moved slowly past Joanna and Marge. Elliott signaled for the vehicles to slow down, not wanting the tires to splash water on them.

"Mr. Ramsey, should we intervene?" he noticed the look in Robin's eyes and asked softly.

Robin dismissed the idea with a wave. "No need. Let them live their lives."

He then instructed Elliott to let his convoy stop following them after entering the city, asking him to leave just one car to take him to Brighton University.

Elliott, eager to host Robin, suggested a dinner first, or even personally escorting Brenda from the university, but Robin declined with a slight smile, saying, "That won't be necessary."

So, Elliott dismissed all vehicles and drove Robin and Marrisa to Brighton University.

As the drizzle eased, Brighton University appeared refreshed and vibrant. The courtyard was a vision of blossoms in bloom, and petals from recent rains carpeted the paths in a stunning array of colors. Strolling along the blossoming path on campus, the scent of books and youthful energy enveloped them..

The deep academic atmosphere made Marissa, who had never been on a university campus before, feel unexpectedly sophisticated.

"Robin, hack when I was young. I always envied the wealthy girls who got to go to school" she said. "If I could turn back time, I'd love to experience school"

Robin grinned. "Marissa, you could still go to school now

Marissa chuckled. "I barely finished elementary school don't think I'm cut out for it."

Robin frowned a bit. "These days, plenty of people who never went past elementary school have titles like master, doctor, or even professor. At least you finished elementary school-what's stopping you?" Marissa shook her head. "It's not about the titles, I just yearn for the chance to study and learn. Titles don't mean anything to me. I'm satisfied that Brenda has the opportunity to attend university.

"Brenda knows she has to catch up, so she's working hard now. Seeing her make the most of this opportunity you helped her, I feel relieved."

Just then, Brenda hurried over from the library, beaming "Robin! Marissa! You're here!

"When I heard you were coming by, I was thrilled. Let me take you both to lunch in the cafeteria."

Robin noticed how thin Brenda had become and affectionately patted her head. "Let me treat proper meal. You're practically all skin and bones!"

"Great! That'll save me a meal. Brenda laughed.

Robin turned to her. "So, how much allowance docs Marissa give you each month?"

"She gave me a card with a balance of one million. But I'm careful with it. My monthly expenses come to about 800 dollars, which is more than enough," Brenda explained. "After a few months, I can afford some new books and clothes with extra left over. The annual tuition runs around 25,000, not more than 30,000.noveldrama

Robin nodded. "You don't have to be so frugal, you know. Money is always around. If Marissa isn't giving you enough, I can help too."

Brenda laughed. "We used to be so tight on money that it still feels strange to spend much. But I promise I'm taking care of myself.

"Spending less doesn't mean I'm skimping on food or clothes. Look at this outfit-I got it online for a little over 100 dollars. I think it looks pretty nice!"

Robin gave her an affectionate pat. "Good job, Brenda!

"Alright, let's go! I'll treat you to something tasty at Northern Food Plaza, just up ahead-it's close to your school, so we can walk there"

"Oh, I love the Northern Food Plaza!" Brenda said happily, linking arms with them as they headed toward the gate.

"There's Northern Hotel and all kinds of places like tutoring centers, gyms, and entertainment shops. I think it's all under the ownership of Northlorn Residence. 2/3

Marissa stopped abruptly, looking thoughtful. "Brenda, do you know someone named Rhea Chandler

"Rhea?" Brenda looked surprised. "How do you know her?"

Marissa hesitated, then replied, "I just heard her name on the way here and was curious. Is she having a tough time? If so, maybe you could invite her to join us "Invite her?" Brenda hesitated. "She's not having a tough time at all-she's way wealthier than I am

"She's richer than you?" Marissa tried to hide her surprise. She remembered Ivy's advice to keep Phee's sponsored status private to avoid hurting her pride.

"Is she well-off?" Marrisa asked.

Brenda shrugged. "Oh, definitely. She's always in designer brands, changes outfits constantly, and even bas shoes worth thousands. She's always got the latest gadgets, too." Marissa glanced at Robin, saying. That might not be the same person."

"That's Rhea." Brenda pointed to a girl biking nearby,

"She's my roommate. See that bike? It's worth over 30,000! She's truly well-off
