Chapter 957
It was the first time Quentin had seen this playful side of Mira. It was a stark contrast
to her usual sharp, mature, and ruthless demeanor.
Just as they were talking, Gwen walked toward them.
“Hello, Professor Quinn,” Quentin greeted her.
Gwen offered a polite nod before turning a severe look on Mira. “Even your classmate knows how to greet people. You could stand to learn some manners. You’re fully grown, yet completely lacking in basic etiquette p>
“You’ve got plenty of manners, sending your own daughter to a holding cell,” Mira shot back.
“You-! So young, yet so viciously sharp-tongued p>
“No matter how sharp I get, I’ll never beat you at that game, Gwen p>
“You p>
Gwen seethed with anger, raising a hand as if to slap Mira. But something made her stop. Ultimately, she just sneered, “You just wait p>
With that, she stormed off.
Truth be told, Gwen had only come to the Finance Department because she spotted Mira. Her daughter had previously mentioned that Mira intended to double major in finance next semester.
She might not be able to control much else, but she definitely had influence within the Finance Department. She was determined to sabotage Mira’s enrollment.
After Mira and Quentin left, Gwen knocked on Dean Henderson’s door.
“Well, Professor Quinn. What brings you by p>
Gwen rarely visited his office.
“I had a moment of free time, so I thought I’d drop in p>
After offering her a seat, Dean Henderson had his assistant pour Gwen a cup of tea. Then, he continued reviewing his documents, waiting for her to get to the point.
“Arthur, did a female student come to see you just now p>
“Here? I’ve had several students drop by this morning, half of them female. Which one do you mean p>
Knowing what Mira had told him, Dean Henderson already felt a wave of disgust for Gwen.
“Did a girl named Mira stop by p>
“Are you referring to Boss Mercer? We aren’t well acquainted. Why do you ask p>
His phrasing was intentionally ambiguous, leaving room for her to assume Mira hadn’t been there.
“The thing is, Mira is my niece. She’s currently in the Computer Science department.
I heard she wants to double major in finance next semester. But the adults in her family disapprove, and they asked me to step in and stop it p>
Dean Henderson glanced at her. “It’s wonderful when a student is eager to learn. Why would her family object p>
“Her mother and brother both disagree. They want her to master her current major first. If she tries to juggle another degree she’ll kely bite off more than she can chew
“But we have plenty of double majors at this university. They successfully earn dual degrees all the time. Why would Mira be any different?
You should go back and advise her family not to hinder the girl’s future p>
Dean Henderson lowered his head, focusing on his papers again.
“Everyone’s learning capacity is different. Her mother mentioned that her academic abilities are somewhat lacking, making her unsuited for a second major.
As her aunt, I just want to help. I’d hate to see her give up halfway and fail at both p>
Hearing this, Dean Henderson scrutinized Gwen.
Honestly, he had been slightly
skeptical of Mira’s claims about her
aunt’s character earlier. But now, it
seemed the reality was far worse
than what the student had described.
“Yet, from what I understand, Mira ranked first in her entire department during midterms. Her academic capabilities are exceptional. Why wouldn’t she be able to handle two majors p>
Gwen hadn’t expected the dean to know such specific details.
Wait, since when did Dean Henderson pay attention to a freshman from an entirely different department?
