Chapter 70

Though Mr. Ellison had only met Jared a few times, Jared’s presence was nowhere weaker than his every time they met. ‘This young man, Jared, definitely has a bright future.’
Jared stood up gracefully when he saw that Mr. Ellison did not continue the conversation. Jared walked slowly toward the end of Mr. Ellison’s long office desk, which had a massive floor -to-ceiling window next to it. At that moment, the sun was bright, illuminating Jared to the point where he looked like he was glowing.
Mr. Ellison’s office was on the top floor, so they could clearly see Royal Creek Institute’s entire campus. Jared stood in front of the window and chuckled strangely. “Mr. Ellison, I want to invest in your school.”
Mr. Ellison did not know why Jared had such a thought, but he was immediately alert when he thought about how Jared wanted to get someone from him. “Why are you saying this all of a sudden, Mr. Johnston?”
Jared turned to look at Mr. Ellison. Half of his charming face was basking under the sun while the other half was in the shadows. He smiled with his eyes and looked painfully handsome.
“It’s obviously because Royal Creek Institute has a lot of potentials.”
Jared thought, ‘You even have a genius like Lucifer.’ He squinted his eyes slightly when he thought about the hundred million dollars Lucifer made him lose, which was an accident that he had never made. The area of search for Lucifer is gradually getting smaller. If I keep my eyes on Royal Creek Institute, I will definitely catch Lucifer.’
Mr. Ellison hesitated further when he heard Jared’s response. But he did not want to offend Jared too much, so he slowly said, “Mr. Johnston, this is something long-term. Give me some time to consider.”

The Johnston Group was a big company, and even its divisions were strong. Mr. Ellison had to ponder about this further.
Jared was clear of Mr. Ellison’s worries, so he did not want to pressure him. Jared immediately agreed, saying, “Sure, I hope you can give me a satisfactory response, Mr. Ellison.” Mr. Ellison walked Jared out of his office. His worries doubled as he looked at Jared’s cynical figure from the back.
Jared coming back as the unofficial heir of the Johnston family this time was a talk in San Joto. Moreover, Mr. Ellison had not risen to prominence in Hustuaburg yet, so he was rather fearful of Jared.
Mr. Ellison thought about Jared’s words as he frowned slightly.
Meanwhile, Nicole, unaware of any of this, was walking toward her dorm.
She did not have to attend the Math Olympiad training class this afternoon. But she had yet to decide where to study the example math problems. After all, she had already made a boastful promise in front of everyone. If she did not put more
effort into studying like how a normal person did for maths, she might get another zero again. Nicole was frustrated, unaware that Gary was already sitting in the lecture hall waiting for her. “The class is about to start, so why hasn’t Nicole come yet?’
‘Nicole sure is stubborn. She already made a bet with Mr. Kennedy this afternoon, saying she would get first place. But she’s not even attending class now. With her standard that got her a zero, does she really want to win by self-studying?’ Gary wondered.
Gary also thought about how she did not respond to him when he questioned her. He could not help but ask himself whether he was too harsh.
“How fragile. I’ve only questioned Nicole a little, and she doesn’t want to come to class now.” After he said that, he paid attention to class gloomily. Raine was sitting next to Gary when she heard his remarks. She turned and saw that Nicole really did not show up to class.
She then connected it to what Gary had said. She was certain that Gary was waiting for Nicole just now! Raine’s eyes were filled with jealousy and frustration when she thought about this.
‘What’s so good about Nicole? Why is she always in Gary’s mind?’
Raine could not help but think of Nicole’s words. Nicole was a vixen. She wouldn’t have seduced him because she was in the same class as Gary, right?
