Chapter 279 Give it back ! +25 BONUS Ariana instinctively stood up , reaching for the paper in Victors hand .
But Victor , holding a wine glass in one hand , had already turned around and sat on the couch .
He casually flipped through her paper .
With her limited mobility , Arlana would have to approach Victor directly to retrieve her work .
In the end , she simply sat down on the couch and ignored him .
Victor , however , seemed to be genuinely engrossed in her essay .
The corners of his lips occasionally curled into a faint smile .
Seeing his amused expression , Ariana felt increasingly certain that Victor was mocking her lack of insight .
She said , I just scribbled down my ideas .
Is it really that funny ? Who coached you on the essay ? Your professor ? Victor asked , a trace of curiosity in his tone as he looked at Ariana .
No one .
I just came up with it on my own .
Its totally random ! Ariana replied hastily , feeling a bit flustered under his scrutiny .

Unable to sit still , she got up and approached Victor , intending to Snatch the paper back .
Victor made no effort to stop her .
He allowed her to snatch her economic analysis paper from his hands .
He remarked , Its actually pretty well written .
If you submit this as your thesis, I think youll graduate without a problem .
Really ? Have you studied at Glea College or something ? No.
How can you promise Id graduate ? Ariana knew Victor hadnt been to college .
She casually folded the paper and stuffed it into her pocket .
Glea College students are all children of entrepreneurs , magnates , or even politicians .
Their perspective is leagues ahead of mine .
This paper of mine would just embarrass me if I submitted it .
Is that what you really think ? Victor asked , looking at her thoughtfully .
Shouldnt I ? Everything I said is the truth .
Victor had been about to tell her that she had no idea how smart she actually was .
But a smile flickered across his face at her complete lack of confidence .
He said , Ive read your paper its full of thorough analysis and countless technical terms .
It shows that you have your own reasoning about economics .
Its a fresh perspective in academia .
Thats why I said you should submit it as your thesis .
Really ? Ariana looked at him skeptically .
Are you messing with me ? After all , you didnt even go to college .
She instantly regretted her words .
Most powerful and influential people hated it when others pointed out their shortcomings , and she assumed Victor would be no exception .
But Victor seemed unbothered .
He replied casually , Youre right , I didnt go to college .
But those who did are working for me .
Education is important , but intelligence is even more important .
Even though I didnt go to college , those highly educated +25 BONUS Chapter 270 graduates belong to my company .
Does that make sense to you ? Are you bragging about yourself ? Ariana said , unconvinced .
She had never thought of herself as particularly smart .
Growing up , her dad never had high expectations of her .
He didnt even care if she went to college , as long as she lived a happy , carefree life .
That was why she never took her studies seriously .
Even her acceptance into Glea College felt , to her , like a favor her dad had pulled strings for .
