<strong>Chapter 1484: 1484.Climbing up on the shoulders of others</strong>


    After all, Miss Taylor was willing toe to the mountains to teach them, which was a good deed.


    “Grandmother, whatever Miss Taylor says, just listen and let it go. Don’t take it seriously, and don’t go saying it randomly to others.”


    She didn’t want to say anything bad about Miss Taylor, and even less about Elly Campbell.


    But she still preferred Elly Campbell a bit more.


    Elly Campbell stood outside the door, and she hadn’t expected Abigail Wood to say something like that—she was indeed surprised.


    “Grandmother knows, Grandmother has lived most of her life, hasn’t she seen all kinds of people? That Miss Taylor is clearly just jealous.”


    Though she hadn’t seen that much money in her life, she understood what it meant to be the richest person.


    Elly Campbell was beautiful, knowledgeable, kind-hearted—donating buildings and supplies to them. How could such a person be the type Miss Taylor described?


    Someone so exceptional, being pursued by so many outstanding men, was only natural. Miss Taylor was clearly fond of that Mr. White; that’s why she criticized Elly Campbell like that.


    When she heard Miss Taylor speaking indignantly about Mr. White getting into a fight with Mr. Jones because of Elly Campbell, she understood it all.


    Miss Taylor thought that a mountain-dwelling olddy like her understood nothing, that she blindly believed whatever she was told.


    If she weren’t deliberately smearing Elly Campbell, why would she keep bringing up how Elly Campbell seduced people when she herself had already indicated she didn’t want to respond?


    Grandmother Wood shook her head in her heart; Miss Taylor’s character was truly hard to put into words.


    She understood Miss Taylor’s real intentions foring to the mountains were clear to her now.


    She hadn’t seen Miss Taylor make any special effort to tutor her granddaughter at home before, but ever since the government project entered the mountains, reporters frequently came by.


    Especially after thendslide brought national attention to the Anta Baker mountain region, donations starteding in sporadically.


    The Anta Baker region had already be famous.


    If reporters captured footage of her, this teacher, regrly visiting students’ homes to tutor them, there would be no shortage of good schools weing her once she left Anta Baker.


    Grandmother Wood sighed silently in her heart.


    She knew the saying “people aspire to climb higher” and had no intention of judging or criticizing.


    No matter what Miss Taylor’s original intention was ining to the mountains to teach, she still passed knowledge on to mountain children who otherwise had no ess to education.


    Using the children to boost her image wasn’t entirely without reason.


    From the very beginning, she never thought that someone as young as Miss Taylor would willingly stay in this impoverished backcountry for the rest of her life, which is why she asked about her future ns early on.


    Grandmother Wood stopped thinking about it further and simply said to Abigail Wood:


    “Abby, you must remember: in all things, don’t just listen and take sides blindly. Only when you’ve witnessed something with your own eyes can you make a judgment. But even then, sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth. What do you think?”


    Abigail Wood nodded seriously, “I understand, Grandmother.”


    In the following days, the mountain project progressed smoothly. Thendslide caused no casualties, and with timely disaster relief technology, severe consequences were avoided.


    News spread that during the secondndslide, Jones Corporation’s CEO Adam Jones arrived promptly with medical personnel, treating the injured immediately, which prevented serious losses.


    As a result, Jones Corporation’s stock prices kept climbing upward, and the situation became increasingly favorable.
