Chapter 788: Chapter 788: Daughter-Protecting Maniac (Part 2)

"What if I can’t?" Winter Sullivan asked.

Irene Zimmerman said after a moment’s thought, "If you really can’t, then just get a divorce! My daughter doesn’t have to put up with that kind of treatment."

Winter Sullivan couldn’t help but laugh. Irene Zimmerman laughed along and gave her a wink. "Besides, if you get a divorce, you’ll always have a place to stay at home."

Just then, Silas Sullivan came through the door. He seemed to be in an excellent mood today. Irene Zimmerman smiled and asked, "What’s the happy occasion? You’re positively glowing."

Silas Sullivan laughed heartily. "I went to the student showcase today and discovered a genius. This girl is incredible. From fifty meters, she fired fifteen consecutive shots, and every single one hit the bullseye. Plus, she’s composed and resolute—a natural-born sniper! The only shame is that she isn’t a student from one of the professional academies. It took a lot of convincing, but she finally agreed to train as an external member."

Both Irene Zimmerman and Winter Sullivan were surprised. A record like that was indeed extremely rare.

Irene Zimmerman couldn’t help but ask, "If she isn’t from a professional academy, how did she end up in their showcase?"

"It was that kid Sheldon’s wild idea. He went on about how everyone is the same and insisted on having Veridia University and the professional academies perform in a joint showcase. And he actually pulled it off—Veridia University took first place this time." As Silas Sullivan spoke, a proud smile smoothed the wrinkles on his face.

Although he hadn’t praised Sheldon Caldwell to his face when Veridia University took first, he was inwardly delighted.

Winter Sullivan wasn’t too surprised by this. Hearing that Sheldon’s students had taken first place, she smiled and said, "Sheldon’s quite impressive."

"He’s very impressive." Irene Zimmerman’s face beamed with pride. "It’s you two who have standards that are too high. Sheldon became Deputy General Manager purely on his own merit. Looking across all of Veridia, how many other heirs have that kind of ability?"

Silas Sullivan agreed. He sighed and remarked, "When I saw that girl today, I thought she and Sheldon would be a great match. I was even thinking of having someone set them up, but it looks like that kid from the Nathan Family beat him to the punch. What a shame!"

Hearing this, Winter Sullivan paused for a moment. She immediately realized the description fit Vera Xavier perfectly, so she asked, "Is the girl’s name Vera Xavier?"

"You know her?" Silas Sullivan asked, a little curious.

Winter Sullivan smiled. "We’ve met a few times. She’s young, but she’s very composed and has a mind of her own. Most importantly, she has a good heart. We get along really well. I even went over to her house for dinner once. She’s an excellent cook."

Hearing this, Silas Sullivan’s eyes lit up. "What a coincidence! I was worried she might change her mind and back out of the weapons training. It’s great that you two get along. You should invite her over for dinner sometime!"

Winter Sullivan nodded. "I’ll mention it to her later. But I won’t act as your recruiter. We have to respect her decision."

Silas Sullivan smiled and nodded, but then he suddenly remembered something. "Were you holed up at the institute for another week? Has that little bastard Julian Caldwell still not come to get you?"

"I had an experiment to run, so I just stayed at the lab a little longer," Winter Sullivan said, looking at him. "Dad, I just told Mom... I want to divorce him."

"Divorce him! Who needs him!" Silas Sullivan said with a scowl. "He made you angry and hasn’t even tried to make it up to you in half a month? That alone is reason enough to leave him!"
