Chapter 70: Maybe It Was All Fate
Jameson stood up and said indifferently, “I’ll give you three days.If you want something else, just
say it.If you miss this chance, you’ll never have another one.”
After walking to the door, Jameson stopped and said slowly, “If you had made your choice earlier,
your brother would not have risked his own future for a mere one million.”
Sharon gritted her teeth tightly, her eyes bloodshot.
She tried her best to stop her tears from flowing out.
After Jameson left, Sharon pulled out the syringe on the back of her hand.
As she walked out of the hospital, she called Tiffany.
Ruben was no longer working in the convenience store.
Tiffany had been looking for him all night but could not find him.
When Tiffany and Sharon met up, Tiffany was shocked to see Sharon’s pale face and red eyes.
“Sharon, what happened?”
Sharon shook her head and said, “Let’s find Ruben first.”
When it was almost dusk, Ruben finally picked up the phone.
Sharon calmly said, “Ruben, where are you?”
“I’m in military training…”

“Where?”
On the other end of the phone, Ruben was silent for a moment before saying, “Outsiders are not
allowed to enter during military training.”
“Give the phone to your teacher or instructor.I’ll talk to them.”
Ruben stopped talking.
Sharon was so tired that she repeatedly asked, “Ruben, where are you? Don’t lie to me”
Ruben found a job near University A.
He thought that if Sharon came to see him, he could say that he worked part-time here, so she
would not find out.
However, he did not expect that she would discover it so quickly.
After a while, Ruben said, “Stay where you are.I’ll come to you.”
On Ruber’s way here, Tiffany learned about the whole thing from Sharon and was lost for words for
a moment.
Tiffany knew that Josh was a disaster.
Sharon and Ruben had been relying on each other since childhood.
Sharon valued her younger brother the most in her life.
Now that Ruben had sold his admission letter and given up on his bright future, no wonder Sharon
would be so angry and anxious.
Half an hour later, Ruben appeared at Sharon’s house.
Tiffany felt that under such circumstances, she should not stay here, so she found an excuse to
leave and go shopping.
“Is it because of Josh?”
Sharon took out the card that Ruben had given her before and placed it on the coffee table.
According to the time when Ruben gave her the money, it happened to be just those two days.
Ruben stood there and didn’t ask her how she knew.
He only said, “I’m afraid they won’t let it go.Those people don’t have ethical principles and can do
anything.With this money, we can protect ourselves in case something happens.’
“Ruben…”
“It’s the best that you didn’t give it to Josh.”
Ruben said casually, “I said I wanted to provide you.Although there isn’t much money here, it should
be able to last for a while.After that, I’ll…”
Sharon interrupted him, “Ruben, do you know what it means for you to give up this admission
letter?”
After a pause, Ruben said, “Didn’t you also give up the chance to go to Paris?”
“Just because I’ve given up once and know what I’ve lost, I don’t want you to regret it.”
“I won’t regret it.Even if I don’t go to college, I can still…”
“You’re only eighteen now.What are you going to do if you don’t go to college?”
Sharon stared at the card in front of her.

In the eyes of those wealthy people, one million was nothing.
To them, it was a done deal, and it was impossible for them to give him another chance to go back
on his word.
Sharon said, “Let me handle this.Ruben, just wait for my news.’ Ruben couldn’t help but frown,
“What are you going to do?”
“I’ll find a way.Ruben, you must remember that you don’t have to give up your future for me or
anyone else.If I can work it out, you just go back to school and study.This matter ends here.”
Ruben still wanted to say something, but Sharon said, “End of discussion.I want to sleep, and you
should go back now.”
Ruben walked to the door and suddenly turned around as if he had sensed something, saying, “This
is my own choice.I can bear the consequences.You don’t have to beg him.”
Sharon smiled faintly, “Who told you I was going to beg him? It’s just a deal.”
“What deal?”
“Don’t worry about us.You are just a kid.Focus on your study.’ Ruben didn’t say anything else and
left.When Tiffany returned, Sharon was sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.
She walked over and whispered, “Sharon, how was Ruben taking it?”
“Pretty much.”
Sharon regained her senses, “I’ll go find Jameson tomorrow.There shouldn’t be any problem.’
“Will that jerk agree? I seriously doubt it.’’ Sharon stared blankly ahead and said after a few
seconds, “Maybe.”
After finished speaking, she stood up and said, “Tiffany, I’m a little sleepy.I’m going to sleep.”
