Chapter 44
‘Impossible! Though Snow believed that it was impossible, she still looked at Nicole with worry-filled
eyes after some time. “Then, is Cain really in the hospital now?” Even though Snow did not ask Nicole
aloud, “Did you beat him?” That question was already written on her face.
Nicole looked at Snow’s odd expression coldly. Nieole had already finished her food when Snow was in
a daze, so she did not want to stay and continue being pretentious with Snow.” Didn’t I say you should
ask him instead? I’m done eating, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Nicole then stood up and walked away as Snow watched her leave. Snow’s eyes widened all of a
sudden.
‘Who on earth is Nicole? How did she defeat that evil Cain?!’ Nicole left the cafeteria and thought about
what Ms. Emerson had said in the morning. She asked Nicole to attend the Maths Olympiad training
sses every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoon. It was Tuesday today, so Nicole turned and
walked toward the lecture hall.
Gary, who had also walked out of the cafeteria after finishing his meal, looked at Nicole’s carefree
figure and squinted slightly. He had already seen the whole incident where Nicole sat together with
Snow. In other words, he had also seen Snow’s mouth agape after Nicole left. It made him even more
curious about the conversation between the two girls.
Gary could not help but smile when he saw Nicole looking like nothing had happened. He walked
slowly behind her at her pace, constantly leaving a short distance between them.
When he saw the lecture hall in front of them, he hurried his steps as he walked into the ss with
Nicole.
Raine was sitting in the ss when she saw Gary walking in, and a surprise grew on her face. But her
expression had immediately turned sour as she saw Nicole walking in with Gary not long after.
She asked Nicole while keeping her jealousy in control. “Why are you here, Nicole? This ss is
exclusively for students joining the Maths Olympiadpetition!”
Nicole looked at her indifferently, not uttering a word.
Gary replied Raine instead, “We are joining thepetition on behalf of our ss, so our teacher told
us toe together.”
Raine looked at them doubtfully as she sharply sensed that Gary was being protective by listening to
what he had said, so her gaze toward Nicole turned more hostile.
Nicole nced over at Gary indifferently after listening to his reply. She was already aware of Gary
following her from behind, but she did not bother to do anything about it as he had kept to himself.
Now that he mentioned that Ms. Emerson asked them to attend the ss together, there was no need
for Nicole to expose him too.
Nicole started walking and headed toward thest row of seats. Raine saw Nicole walking further, so
she started a conversation with Gary. But Raine noticed Gary’s eyes following Nicole closely. He
completely ignored what she was saying. She got so angry she started to raise her voice, saying,
“Gary, I’m talking to you! Why did youe together with her?”
Gary furrowed his eyebrows as he wondered why he did not notice how annoying and unreasonable
Raine was before. If he had known how irritating she was, he would not allow her to follow him around
so much anymore. He then walked toward thest row of seats. But when he was halfway there, Raine
suddenly rushed over and dragged him to the first row.
Coincidentally, the school bell rang, so Gary did not push her away.
Subsequently, a bald man ran into the lecture hall in small steps and stood on the stage as he
introduced himself.
“Hello students, I’m Mr. Louis, your teacher for this Maths Olympiad training ss. To be able
ing, I believe you are all elite students from your sses. I’ll save the unnecessary talk and hand out
last year’s example questions. We’ll discuss the solutions for the first half of the ss. For the second
half, we’ll have a test to see what level you’re at.”
Upon speaking, he took out a pile of example questions and a stack of answer sheets as he passed
them down. Nicole looked at it and arched her brows, keeping the example questions in her bag.
She filled in all the sections of the answer sheets beautifully and ced them at the corner of her table.
She then took out a book and started to read it.
Mr. Louis was teaching passionately on stage. He seemed like he did not mind what Nicole was doing.
Nicole was so engrossed in the book that ss ended before she realized it.
She was really interested in the hacking strategies in the book, so she had never raised her head
throughout the whole ss. Raine, who was leaving the lecture hall with Gary, mocked Nicole when
she walked past her, “It’s fine if youe from the countryside, but you actually don’t want to pay
attention in ss. Could it be that you don’t understand a single thing being taught?”
Nicole finally started to find Raine’s loudmouth annoying, so she kept her book away and looked at
Raine coldly. Nicole then submitted her answer sheet and left right after.
Raine continued behind her back, “Know your ce and stop humiliating yourself here! “She even
answered her answer sheets fully. How pretentious! Isn’t that right, Gary?” Gary watched Nicole leave
as a sudden urge grew in his heart. He did not even bother toThis content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
respond to Raine and walked out of the lecture hall with Nicole. And Raine was left behind, angrily
calling Gary from behind.
Nicole walked a distance before she sensed that she was being followed again, so she turned to look
at Gary, frustrated. Gary secretly cheered when he saw her turning back, but he still acted apathetically
and asked, “Mr. Louis was quite fast back there. Could you really get what he taught? We’re from the
same ss anyway, so feel free to ask me for help if you’re having trouble with something.”
Nicole was not touched by it as she looked at Gary and said tly, “The only reason I didn’t listen is that
it was too easy. There’s no need for me to waste my time.” Gary was stunned upon hearing Nicole’s
response.
