Chapter 69


    Chapter 69 Nicole walked indifferently, not bothering to respond to him.


    Gary followed behind her. He was questioning her initially, but he was tired of it afterward, so he just


    left Nicole his words, “You’re on your own,” and left.


    After he left, Nicole turned and walked to Mr. Louis’s office.


    When Gary walked back to ss, he had a long face.


    Jack and Wayne saw his expression and thought that something big had happened. So they


    immediately went to Gary and asked, “What’s wrong, Gary? Who made you angry?” Gary clenched


    the pen in his hand tightly and responded chillingly, “Nicole ced a bet with Mr. Kennedy, betting


    that we’ll get the first ce in the Math Olympiadpetition. She sure has the guts to say that,


    though I’m the one who’s going to clean up her mess!”


    Jack and Wayne looked at each other, and Jack recalled the time when Gary was rejected by Nicole


    when he offered to tutor her. So he got angry and said, “Nicole doesn’t know what she’s missing!”


    Wayne nodded in response.


    Gary did not want to talk any further and went back to his usualzy self as he furrowed his brows


    and started looking at the questions.


    At that moment, in Ms. Emerson’s office. Mr. Louis was surprised as he looked at Nicole, who was


    standing before her. After Mr. Louis recollected himself, he smiled and said, “How can I help you,


    Nicole?”

    Nicole looked at his kind expression as she gradually said, “Mr. Louis, I’m here to inform you that I


    will be attending other pieces of training, so I can’t attend your Math Olympiad training ss


    anymore.”


    Mr. Louis was stunned, but he agreed without saying anything.


    After Nicole left, the staff in the office asked him, “Mr. Louis, isn’t that the student who scored a zero?


    Why are you so nice to her? You’re allowing her to skip sses just because she said she couldn’t


    attend?”


    Mr. Louis shook his head. He had looked at Nicole’s assessment paper multiple times. Although her


    math workings were messy and slightly different than the workings in the model answers, he found it


    extremely special


    Mr. Louis felt like he could not catch up with Nicole’s approach. A genius was called a genius


    because of their distinctive thought process, which was always ahead of the average joe. Perhaps,


    Nicole was the true genius in their school. Nicole did not care how others perceived her. She went


    over to the caféteria to grab a meal and gave Mr. Ellison a phone call after she was done.


    Mr. Ellison was ted upon receiving Nicole’s call. “What brought you here, Nicole? Did something


    happen in school? Just let me know if anything happens. I’ll resolve it for you.”


    Nicole did not beat around the bush and immediately told him about the three girls finding trouble with


    her.


    Mr. Ellison listened and responded in an instant, “Don’t worry, I’ll penalize three of these students.


    Your dormitory won’t score a zero either. I’ll definitely give you an exnation.”


    Nicole said, “It isn’t that serious. I just don’t want my roommates to suffer because of me.” Mr. Ellison


    let out a sigh of relief as he was worried that Nicole was upset with his school and did not want to


    study there anymore.


    After a short pause, Mr. Ellison said carefully, “Nicole, Harvey ising back to school next Monday.


    I’m thinking of getting the both of you to meet up. Please…”


    Nicole thought about Harvey’s rtionship with Snow and had no interest in Mr. Ellison’s grandson.


    She immediately interrupted him tly, “Mr. Ellison, I’m participating in the Math Olympiadpetition


    soon. I’m afraid I don’t have much time.” Mr. Ellison sighed softly from the other end of the phone. He


    knew that Nicole always had her own stance and that she would not change her mind easily.


    “Alright. Get ready for thepetition. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”


    Nicole responded with an “okay,” and Mr. Ellison reminded her to take care of herself before their call


    ended.


    Nicole’s expression remained the same as she kept her phone away and walked out.


    After Mr. Ellison ended his call with Nicole, he smiled at the VIP sitting across from him. “Hello, Mr.


    Johnston. Sorry for not giving you a better wee.” Mr. Ellison still remembered thest time Jared


    had called him suddenly with the intention to start a café in front of Royal Creek Institute. Usually, Mr.


    Ellison would not have allowed those non-essential businesses to be opened near the school


    premise. But since Jared had made the request in person, there was no reason for him to reject


    Jared. Mr. Ellison just did not know why Jared wanted to see him again. Jared came in a littlete, so


    he could only hear thest few words Mr. Ellison said before hanging up the phone. But he felt that


    Mr. Ellison sounded exceptionally kind when he spoke to that person, so he arched his brows and


    asked suspiciously, “I wonder who the person you were speaking to was. You sounded so concerned,


    Mr. Ellison.” Mr. Ellison waved when he heard what Jared said, “It’s someone important to me. You


    probably don’t know that person, Mr. Johnston.” Somehow, Jared thought of Nicole. She had also


    mentioned that she was rather close with Mr. Ellison.


    At that moment, Mr. Ellison went back to the main topic. “How may I help you, Mr. Johnston?” Jared


    could tell that Mr. Ellison did not want to talk too long, so he did not bother asking


    irrelevant things and cut to the chase, expressing the aim of his visit. “There are many skilled


    students in your school, so do you have anyputer geniuses in mind?”


    Jared tracked the information of that online ount in his café, so he was even more certain that the


    person behind that ount was a student from the Royal Creek Institute. A hacker like Lucifer was


    definitely a somebody in Royal Creek Institute.


    That was why Jared went to see Mr. Ellison, to dig out more information about the hacker.


    To a normal person, Jared’s question was nothing out of the ordinary. But Mr. Ellison’s face changed


    for a second before he put on his kind expression as he smiled and said, “Royal Creek Institute is just


    an educational institute. If you’re looking for a skilled person, you should get Mr. Graham to hire a


    professional. Why did youe to me?” Jared saw that Mr. Ellison was not only trying to avoid his


    question but also trying to fish something out from him, so Jared could not help but smile intriguingly.


    “No reason. There are too manyplicated people in society, so I just n to personally train talent


    from Royal Creek Institute. You don’t have to be so nervous, Mr. Ellison.” Mr. Ellison seemed to


    notice that the way he acted was slightly overboard just now. Jared was extremely sharp, so Mr.


    Ellison was worried that Jared had noticed something…
