?Chapter 1703:


    “Miss Harper, you’re also a woman. In my hometown, people think girls only need a basic education and that college is pointless since we’ll get married anyway. What do you think? How can we convince them otherwise?” someone asked.


    Brenna’s expression grew serious. “That’s a good question. Girls are just as capable as boys. Intelligence isn’t determined by gender. Mypany hires many women who earn the same sries as men, and they do work as well as men, if not better. I’m a woman who built my ownpany. We manufacture intelligent prosthetics that have helped thousands of people with disabilities. Our finance department also supports major corporations in going public.”


    The discussion grew lively. One student after another raised their hand, and Brenna answered each question with patience and sincerity.


    In the end, she said, “Keep it up, everyone. I’m confident that with hard work, you’ll all seed. If any of you decide to study finance or mechanical engineering, I might even consider bending the rules to hire you one day.”


    The students’ excitement filled the room. Being the school’s top-performing ss, they felt that joining Brenna’spany was now within their grasp.


    When the time came for Ethan to answer their questions, a hush fell over the crowd.


    His striking appearance made some of the girls too shy to speak, and their questions carried a softer tone than before.


    “Mr. Mitchell, we heard you’re the richest man in the world. Could you tell us your secret to bing wealthy? And… do you have any ideas for helping our hometown ovee poverty?”


    “Mr. Mitchell, if we can’t afford college tuition, what would you suggest we do?”


    Ethan’s gaze moved over the students. Their uniforms were worn and faded, their shoes scuffed, and their sun-darkened faces reflected years of hardship. Yet, their eyes gleamed with hope.


    He could tell they were eagerly waiting for his response.

    “There are plenty of jobs out there—temporary or seasonal work. If you’re willing, you can earn enough to support yourself. During school breaks, you can also work in factories to cover your tuition.”


    His words breathed new hope into the room.


    He then went on to give a powerful speech that left the students inspired and eager for the future ahead.


    After that, Ainslie led Brenna and Ethan on a short tour of the dormitories. The rooms were small, yet each one was kept neat and spotless.


    They noticed that the upper floors of the ssrooms and dorms would leak during heavy rain, and when they stopped by the teachers’ offices, the staff weed them warmly, eager to talk.


    At lunchtime, Brenna and Ethan joined the teachers and students in the cafeteria. The food was in and far from the luxurious meals they were ustomed to, yet both enjoyed it.


    As they observed the students, they saw how deeply everyone admired Elsa.


    Ainslie watched their humble demeanor with growing fondness. Their sincerity touched her, and her respect for them deepened. She said, “Miss Harper, Mr. Mitchell, I’m truly grateful for the kindness and support you’ve shown us. I do have an idea I’d like to discuss with you—if you’re open to hearing it.”


    Ethan and Brenna exchanged a look of quiet understanding. They both held deep respect for Ainslie—a woman who had devoted her entire life to giving girls in the mountains a chance at education. People like her were rare.
