?Chapter 471:


    The question echoed in Ellie’s mind: What in the world was Susanna doing here?


    Susanna, catching Ellie’s eye, yfully winked, her mischief evident. With ss about tomence, Ellie redirected her gaze and initiated her PowerPoint presentation.AdChoicesADVERTISING


    “Good morning, everyone! I’m Ellie. I hope the next two weeks will be a delightful journey. Let’s dive into our ss without further dy.”


    The Pagani swiftly departed from the airport.


    Navigating a fork in the road, Kaiden abruptly brought the vehicle to a stop.


    “This is your stop. I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up,” Kaiden announced.


    In the passenger seat, Levy was taken aback. “Come on, Kaiden. My ce is just a few kilometers south.”


    “It doesn’t align with my route,” Kaiden replied. “I’m heading west.” Critport University sat in the city’s west. At this fork, where the vehicle was parked, their paths to separate destinations would diverge.


    Was he merely an afterthought throughout this entire journey? Levy couldn’t shake the feeling that Kaiden was abandoning him now that his objectives were met.


    It wasn’t an airport pickup at all; for Kaiden, it was a mission to amass investigative materials!


    Levy motioned with his hand and opened the car door to step out. “I think I’ll grab a taxi on my own!”


    Opting for a taxi promised swifter progress than awaiting Kaiden’s pickup arrangement.


    With years of friendship with Levy, formalities weren’t Kaiden’s concern. He turned the steering wheel, veering right toward Critport University.


    Ellie meticulously crafted her ss, seamlessly intertwining professional knowledge with pertinent real-world examples.


    At first, the students fixated on Ellie, the legendary senior, but as time passed, they became enthralled by the substance of her lectures. After three consecutive sses concluded, Ellie intended to find Susanna. However, a nce around the room proved unsessful in locating the young girl.


    Texting Susanna about her whereabouts, Ellie, engrossed in her phone, nearly collided with someone while exiting the ssroom.

    “Be careful, Ellie!” a familiar male voice chimed in.


    Ellie, looking up, spotted Howard offering a helping hand. Seeing her stability, he quietly retracted his gesture.


    “Mind your step, Ellie. You might stumble while using your phone,” Howard said with a warm smile. “I wanted to congratte you this morning, but I had a preliminary defense for my graduation thesis and couldn’t step away.”


    “Received your well wishes ahead of time!” Ellie responded with a smile, showcasing the sizable bouquet in her left hand.


    Just as she was about to speak, she sensed an intense gaze on her.


    In the corridor’s distant end by the staircase, a man in a shirt and trousers held a phone to his ear. His gaze was fixed on her, devoid of expression and with a paleplexion.


    His presence wasmanding, casting such a weighty atmosphere that the few students who noticed him refrained from taking a second nce.
