Chapter 552


    Den held up a hand to stop the person who had just spoken.He then looked at Nicole and smiled.


    What he was not sure about just now had be certain when he saw the monthly exam paper Nicole


    had answered.


    ''This girl must be a genius"


    "Nicole, I''ve read your papers and think you''re talented.Would you rather be my student and let''s do


    mathematical research together? “


    ‘What?! “


    Everyone thought they were hallucinating.They could not believe that Den had not onlye but


    also asked Nicole to be his student.


    Anyone who became a student of Den meant they would soon be a top expert in mathematics


    in Hustuaburg.


    While people werepeting against each other trying to get Den''s approval, but to no avail, Nicole


    got it so effortlessly.They all looked at what had happened in front of their eyes.


    Ms.Thompson and Mr.Kennedy were also surprised, their eyes widening as they could not ept it.


    ‘We''ve used Nicole, whom Professor Hancock approves of, of cheating.No wonder Mr.Ellison said


    what he had said just now"


    Thinking of this, the faces of the two turned pale.


    ''Couldn''t Professor Hancock tell if Nicole cheated?"


    Mr.Kennedy froze in ce, as if struck by lightning, at the thought of what Mr.Ellison had said and the


    test paper that he and Den had verified.Meanwhile, everyone was silently hoping Nicole would


    agree to Den''s offer.


    "I''m sorry." Nicole looked at the kind old man.


    "I probably don''t have that much time to spend on academic research.Thank you for that, anyway."


    ''She refused the offer!’ Students from ss B looked on in shock as no one expected Nicole to reject


    Den.Mr.Ellison stood aside and sighed softly in his mind.He was well aware of Nicole''s personality;


    had Nicole not returned to San Joto, Den would not havee to the Royal Creek Institute.He had


    told Den not to hold out too much hope, but he did not give up and still wanted to try his luck.


    Den froze for two seconds, but because Mr.Ellison had given him the heads-up earlier, he did not


    feel too disappointed.


    "It''s fine.Let''s be friends, and we can talk about things next time," he said with a sigh.


    He was talking about discussion, not telling Nicole to ask him, which meant he was treating Nicole as


    an equal.


    Gary was keenly aware of this.He looked at Nicole with light shing in his eyes.

    ''She is no longer in the same league as us"


    Everyone around looked at Nicole in amazement as Nicole nodded casually and stood up, picking up


    what she had already packed up in her hand, and walked out.


    Suddenly, an angry voice came from outside the door.


    "Nicole, what have you done to get first ce? You''re shameless!"


    Everyone looked toward the voice and saw Norah, who was from ss A.Her eyes reddened as she


    red at Nicole with resentment.She was left with nothing and could not go home.


    All she wanted was to get her parents'' attention by achieving good grades.
