Chapter 270

Wade had snatched the physics professor away before he could even finish his question. leaving the other two

department heads without a chance to speak. They all departed together. leaving a palpable void in their wake.

As soon as they were gone, Matthew let out a deep sigh of relief, feeling as though his energy had been sapped

by the encounter.

“Those profs are like the academic elite, the crde la creme. Damn it. | swear, I'm scared stiff every t|

see them,” Matthew muttered under his breath.

Mirabella watched him silently, with an amused glint in her eye. It seemed that no matter the age, the instinctive

fear of teachers was universal

Vincent, although not as outwardly tic as his cousin, had also felt the imposing aura of the professors. Out

of the corner of his eye, he stole a glance at Mirabella. Her calm and collected demeanor during her exchange

with the professor was a stark contrast to their own unease.

Such resilience under pressure!

“But Mirabella, you know Professor Wade?” Matthew asked. His curiosity was aroused.

After a brief pause, Mirabella replied, “Not really. We've met briefly before.”

Matthew rubbed his nose thoughtfully, doubting the simplicity of this “brief meeting.” The warm manner in which

Professor Wade had just addressed her seemed to suggest a more

significant acquaintance.

“Matthew, | think we should head back to the hotel Vincent interjected. “It might get awkward if we bump into

more of your department's faculty.”

Matthew scratched his head, a bit embarrassed. “Yeah, sure.”

“Thanks,” Mirabella said, offering Matthew a polite nod of gratitude.

No sooner had Mirabella and Vincent stepped out of Prestige College than Mr. Hammond, who had suddenly

remembered something important he'd forgotten, phoned Mirabella.

Holding her phone, Mirabella looked back at the imposing gates of Prestige College. “We've just left Prestige

College.”

Mr. Hammond was on his way out of the hotel when he said. “Stay there by Prestige College. I'll be right there.”

Wade had asked him to introduce the young lady to his biology department, but that had completely slipped his

mind.

Mirabella stopped in her tracks, puzzled. “Is there something you needed?”

Vincent halted behind her, waiting for the answer.

“I mentioned Professor Wade to you before, right? | was going to introduce you to him.”

“Oh, we've actually just met Professor Wade at the college,” Mirabella said honestly.

Mr. Hammond, about to cross the street, paused at her words. “You've already met?”

“Yep,” Mirabella affirmed, recalling that Professor Wade and the other professors seemed to have pressing

matters to discuss. She added, “Professor Wade seemed quite busy.” In other words, there was no need to

disturb him.

After sthought, Mr. Hammond responded, “Alright, if Wade's tied up, | won't drag you over there. He seemed

to have a good impression of you anyway.” Soon after, Mr. Hammond ended the call.

And for a good while after, Mr. Hammond's calls would only reach Wade's blocklist.

Mirabella pocketed her phone. Then she and Vincent made their way back to the hotel. The competition had

ended, the final scores wouldn't be out until three in the afternoon, and their flight wasn’t until seven in the

evening, so several classmates were chatting in their group about going out together to explore. Anthony

reminded everyone to stay safe and then let them. go on their way.

Back in her room, Mirabella sat resting in a chair, pondering for a moment before reaching for her phone to shoot

a message to James on Messenger.
