Chapter 95 Calico

“How about we meet in front of Pamore University?”

Suddenly, Grace realized that she shouldn’t be going out these days.

“Where are you? I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

An hour later, there were still reporters at Amirate Corporation. They were waiting for Grace to appear

with the hopes of getting more footage.

At that moment, a car pulled up, and three innocent youngsters stepped out.

Sharp–eyed reporters immediately recognized the girl at the front as this year’s SAT top scorer in

Pamore, Sophia Maddison.

The two boys behind her were no less remarkable–Otto Berry, who had scored first in science, and

Robin Cooper, who had received the Writing Award.

All three of them had faint surgical scars on their upper lips. They were scars from cleft lip surgeries

they had undergone as children.

June was the time for SAT results, so apart from celebrity scandals, SAT was a hot topic for

netizens.

Instantly, cameras and microphones approached Sophia and her two companions.

“First of all, congratulations Sophia, Otto, and Robin for getting into Pamore University with high

scores.”

Usually, children with facial imperfections might feel somewhat self–conscious in front of the camera.

However, the three children smiled confidently as they replied, “Thank you.”

“The three of you have made it to the nationally coveted Pamore University from the most

impoverished area in the mountains. Could you please share your secrets to success?”

“We had the support of a kind–hearted person named Calico.

“She funded all our school expenses and arranged for experts to perform surgeries on children born

with cleft lips in the mountain region.

“She has been our guiding light.”

Though reporters used harsh words when covering celebrity gossip, they maintained their

professionalism when it came to the country’s young talents.

Before, they had learned about the backgrounds of these three children. Not only had they lived in

remote mountain areas, but their parents were deceased too.

In their village, a significant number of children were born with cleft lips due to poor medical conditions

for pregnant women.

After that, a person known as Calico had funded the repair surgeries for nearly a thousand children

with congenital cleft lips.

Not only that, she had become their sponsor, providing them with the opportunity to leave the

mountains and pursue their education.

“Can you tell us who Calico is? We would like to interview her.”

Reporters all over the internet were searching for Calico.

Sophia and her companions shook their heads. “We don’t know who she is. We only contacted her

through texts. But we came here today to meet her.”

Just then, the person who had picked them up led them into Amirate Corporation’s office.

The reporters were left in awe.

“Does this mean Calico works at Amirate Corporation?”

“Of course! Such a kind–hearted person must be a highly capable middle–level manager.”

“That makes sense. We can’t leave today, then.”

“That’s right. We have to stay put! We must wait for those three children to come out!”

In the building, Sophia and her companions followed the man in suit to the top floor.

When they saw Grace, they were so surprised that they couldn’t even speak.

Seeing the three children in disbelief, Grace stood up and spread her arms. “Hi kids, I’m Grace Lewis.

It’s nice to meet you.”

“You’re Calico!”

Otto was the first to snap out of his daze among the three. When he realized that the person who had

been encouraging him through text messages was this elegant lady in front of him, his face flushed.

“She’s so beautiful…” Sophia couldn’t help but exclaim.

“She’s just like the lady I had imagined.” Robin smiled heartily.

The three children were all a bit reserved and hesitant to approach, but Grace took the initiative to

embrace all three of them. “You made me so proud!”

This statement touched the children’s vulnerable sides. At the thought of the hardships they had

endured to keep their promise, they couldn’t hold back their tears.

“We did it, Grace.”

“The questions were so difficult, but your encouragement kept me going.”

“Thank you.”

Grace patted the heads of the three children. “I know. You’re all amazing.”

Suddenly, Sophia thought of the top trending name online this morning and asked, “Grace, are you the

person that netizens are criticizing?”
