Chapter 211<\/p>\n
Rita tapped the table twice. \u201cHey, you can\u2019t just put this off. Having a respectable job and social status is important for women in today\u2019s new society, but a great partner is also an essential bonus in an exceptional woman\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yulia thought about it, realized there was some truth to it, and said after a moment, \u201cThat\u2019s true, Grandma. You\u2019re not urging me to get married, are you? I haven\u2019t even found a boyfriend you<\/p>\n
Rita shook her head. \u201cIt\u2019s not about pressuring you, but I do have a nice guy in mind. A guy who is a match for you in family background, education, wealth, and ability. I\u2019m just wondering if you\u2019re interested.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, she took a photo out of the drawer.<\/p>\n
Yulia was stunned, not expecting her grandma to have a photo ready.<\/p>\n
Though she felt a bit helpless inside, she reached out and took the photo Rita handed to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cSee if you like him,\u201d Rita said softly as she handed it over.<\/p>\n
Yulia took the photo, flipped it over to see the front, and her eyes widened instantly. \u201cGrandma, is this\u2026 Morris?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita glanced up slightly. \u201cOh? You know him? That makes sense. He was your parents\u2018 student after all. That\u2019s even better. Since you know him, I won\u2019t need to introduce him. \u201cBut there\u2019s no need to, almost everyone in Clusia knows Morris now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yulia furrowed her brows a bit, feeling a mix of frustration and amusement. \u201cBut Grandma, as far as I know, Morris has a girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Rita remained as calm as ever. \u201cYes, I know, but Yulia, you did say, she\u2019s just his girlfriend, right? They\u2019re not married yet, anything can change at any moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut this isn\u2019t right.\u201d Yulia thought about how Morris was protective of Cherise. Clearly, they both had genuine feelings for each other.<\/p>\n
Rita waved her hand dismissively. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing about being right or wrong. It\u2019s just about what you want. Yulia, listen to me, whether or not a woman is successful often depends on the quality of the man by her side.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are indeed exceptional, but no matter how outstanding you are, one day you will have to get married and become someone\u2019s wife. Marriage is something that will last for most of your life.<\/p>\n
excellence? \u201cYet, marriage could bring luck to some and misfortune to others. But what about your partner? Even if his heart isn\u2019t wholly with<\/p>\n
you, he\u2019s always there. Don\u2019t you want the man by your side to match or even surpass your<\/p>\n
\u201cInstead of settling for just anyone, it\u2019s better to keep the best one by your side.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yulia felt her head spinning. She thought, \u2018Is it really like that? No, of course not.\u2018<\/p>\n
Rita observed Yulia hesitate and softly put in, \u201cImagine if you were the one who won today. Wouldn\u2019t you feel happier than if you had lost? At least you wouldn\u2019t have to deal with judgmental stares from others.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yulia shook her head and then nodded, feeling a bit nervous. Thinking about how her students, the other teachers, and the principal looked at her after the competition ended, it seemed they weren\u2019t as friendly as when she first started.<\/p>\n
But it didn\u2019t really matter. Wins and losses were common in life. With Cherise\u2019s talent, even a top\u2013notch global expert might lose to her.<\/p>\n
Nobody was keen on a losing streak.<\/p>\n
\u201cSweetie, don\u2019t dwell on it. It\u2019s late. Go and rest. Let things take their course,\u201d Rita noticed Yulia starting to waver and spoke<\/p>\n

Chapter 211<\/p>\n
Yulia stood up, uncertain and conflicted, wandering down the hallway in a daze, appearing lost.<\/p>\n
98%<\/p>\n
+51<\/p>\n
Once Yulia left, Rita picked up the lid of the candle holder beside the table, fiddled with it a little, and put out the smoke. Her eyes, deep like an endless pit, stared into the dark outside the door. \u201cYulia, when you face more of reality, you\u2019ll look back and thank me. That\u2019s how reality is. All those feelings and love mean nothing without power and wealth.\u201d<\/p>\n
**<\/p>\n
The next day, the sun rose as usual, and life went on.<\/p>\n
The students of Betrico University were still basking in the happiness of yesterday and seemed to be even more enthusiastic in their studies.<\/p>\n
For several years, the Traditional Medicine Department had lost to Regalwood University in skill competitions, but with Cherise\u2019s arrival, they turned the tables and reclaimed their spot among the top Traditional Medicine Departments in Clusia.<\/p>\n
It seemed like everyone was becoming increasingly dependent on Cherise.<\/p>\n
After class, Cherise checked her phone, sent a message to Morris, and took her bag to leave.<\/p>\n
A private dining restaurant called Gourmet Bistro was located on the south side of the city.<\/p>\n
Tranquil streams and rustic charm filled the air with the mouth\u2013watering scent of great food. In an elegantly traditional\u2013style private room on the second floor, an old man stood by the window.<\/p>\n
He glanced at the watch on his wrist, occasionally craning his neck to look outside.<\/p>\n
In a short while, a black Panamera leisurely drove up and parked perfectly at the entrance.<\/p>\n
Once the young woman driving got out of the car, the old man, feeling happy, pushed open the wooden door and headed downstairs.<\/p>\n
