Wild!
So wild!
If Alfred's heart had been waves before, now it roiled with a complex expression of disdain and envy on his face. He couldn't help but wish he had been born decades earlier so he could stand in for Mr. Zachmann and accept the extravagant gifts himself. If he were Ms. Quinlan's grandfather, why would he need a bicycle? Just raking in gifts would make him rich!
Caryn Zachmann was still frowning with arrogance and impatience as she said, "I heard she didn't pass the exams this time either. Who knows, her family might need to pull strings to get her into university in Beijing..."
"..."
"I have no idea what kind of university she can get into!"
She said this considering that Alfred was the closest person to Amadeus Yancey, trying to seed a prejudice in his mind so that, should Nathalie Quinlan come to Beijing, Alfred wouldn't think well of her.
