Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1166 Clarify

Nicole's decisive announcement and unassailable aura slightly intimidated many reporters present. Nevertheless,

there were still a few courageous ones who raised doubts, exclaiming, "Miss Anderson, why would Doctor Zeller

recommend you to the science academy when the two of you aren't connected?"

"That's right. There's no need for Doctor Zeller to do so if it's purely because of his good relationship with your

master. After all, according to hearsay, he is a business-like and extremely virtuous man."

With that, Nicole silently shifted her gaze to the reporter who asked that question. The corner of her mouth into a

sneer as she responded flatly, "Are you implying that Mr. Zeller should check in with you every time he makes a

new friend? Is that it?"

Her question reduced the reporter to silence.

Soon, another reporter inquired, "Miss Anderson, may I ask who your master is then?" If truth be told, almost

everyone present was curious about the identity of Nicole's master. Either way, considering he could befriend

someone of Nathan's status, they speculated her master was someone from a prestigious background as well.

"White Nicholson," Nicole announced without the slightest hesitation.

Instantly, everyone in the press conference became quiet. It was so quiet that everyone could even hear the sound

of a needle falling to the ground. An awkward atmosphere permeated the audience and lasted for a long while until

someone spoke with a tone tinged with admiration, "White Nicholson!? The Great Doctor, White Nicholson?! Now it

makes sense why Mr. Zeller would recommend you to the science academy."

"Doctor White and his apprentice, the medically gifted young lady, were the ones who suppressed the epidemic

spread in Durobrivae back then!"

"Yeah, that's right! I've heard before that Doctor White and his apprentice once saved Mr. Zeller and his family!"

"Doctor White seems to have only accepted one apprentice, which was the medically gifted young lady who

shocked the entire medical community years ago!"

Everyone immediately looked at Nicole in unison with their eyes full of shock. If Nicole is indeed White Nicholson's

apprentice, then she is the medically gifted young lady who saved Durobrivae years ago! And if it turns out to be

true… Then, how dare we spread rumors about her! As soon as this thought crossed the reporters' minds, they

wanted to give themselves a hard slap in the face for offending someone like her.

Someone among them was the first to regain their senses. They quickly stepped forward and started pressing for

answers, "You said your master is White Nicholson. So, are you that medically gifted young lady all those years

ago?"

"You are too kind, but Master White and I were indeed the ones who developed the vaccine for the epidemic in

Durobrivae years ago." Nicole pursed her lips and said coldly.

Everyone present instantly was in an uproar. Back then, all the credits for the vaccine development went to White.

As for the medically gifted young lady, she was extremely low profile. In fact, she didn't even leave her name. The

only thing that Durobrivae's citizens knew was that she was White's apprentice. Now that they found out Nicole got

into the science academy upon Nathan's recommendation, they were certain that Nicole couldn't possibly be lying

about her identity as White's apprentice.

In the meantime, Natasha, who was in the audience, instantly had a ghastly expression as she listened to Nicole

introducing herself as White's apprentice. She began to clench her fists that were hanging by her side. Never have I

ever thought that Nicole would be White Nicholson's apprentice. Now that she has revealed her identity to the

public, everything I have done before seems like a joke.

Then, Natasha looked up at the stage and happened to make eye contact with Nicole, who was on stage. Nicole's

gaze was nothing short of glacial as she boldly met Natasha's gaze. This caused Natasha to feel slightly guilty and

she hastily looked away. Then, she gulped, feeling panicked, for never once did it cross her mind that the person

she offended was White's apprentice, the medically gifted young lady who was famous in Druvale back then. It

seems that my life in the science academy will be full of trouble and misfortune in the future. When Natasha

thought of this, she felt as though she could already envision her bleak and dark future. She slowly tightened her

fists, and the pain suddenly made her remember the words Logan spoke to her. There is still hope for me! I have

Old Mr. Yael as my backer, so I can't give up now. As she thought of this, the tense line of her shoulder eased and

she tried to get her breathing back to normal, forcing herself to stay cool-headed. After that, she turned around

and walked out of the venue.

Nicole stared at Natasha's back silhouette and watched as she left. Then, she retracted her gaze. Although I know

Natasha is behind everything, I am in no mood to seek vengeance with someone like her right now. There are

bigger fish to fry and she's a plankton at most. Moreover, I need to return to the science academy basement, find a

way to enter those blasted doors, and find the voodoo bug!
