Chapter 273
“One hour, you come up with your questions, and I’ll answer them. That’s all,” said Yvette.
These words made every researcher’s heart skip a beat.
Spencer, the boy with glasses, paused, his eyes deeper. “Alright, as you say.”
Suddenly, a pleasant and magnetic voice emerged from the crowd, “Yvette?”
Even though it was a question, he called out those two words with confidence.
Although his voice wasn’t loud, everyone around heard it and turned to look at him.
Ryan couldn’t believe he saw Yvette here.
It was the first time the two had met since the Seacrity Library, and Ryan thought it was incredible to see Yvette again in this case.
Ryan’s mind went blank for a moment when he saw Yvette come in. Especially seeing James being so kind to Yvette, he felt like he was dreaming.
Even though he’d only been in the physics lab for a week, he had already known Mr. Owens’ strictness. He thought, ‘I have never seen Mr. Owens be so pleasant with anyone before. And it just so happened to Yvette, a girl I knew and felt guilty about. That’s weird.
Ryan knew that Yvette was the long-lost Ms. Chambers. But now, he started to wonder how Yvette lived those past twenty- something years and how she knew the famous Mr. Owens.
Just Seacary.
ek ago, Ryan was recruited into James’ physics lab after winning first place in the national physics competition in James turned his gaze towards Ryan and had a vague memory of this boy.
Simon had highly recommended him, mentioning that he was from a well-known family in Seacrity.
However, students who were newcomers to the outer lab had to go through many basic experiments and tests before joining the core team.
James didn’t know much about Ryan but was not surprised that Ryan knew Yvette. After all, they were in the same place, school, and major. James thought, ‘Yvette was so fabulous. There should be a lot of boys admiring her. How could Ryan not know her?”
Yvette gave a slight nod, her face expressionless, showing no hint of surprise.
As she looked at Ryan, her delicate eyes and brows remained cool before she turned her head to James. “Shall we go? Is there anywhere else to see?”
Everyone was stunned again when she said that and puzzled, ‘How could she treat Mr. Owens as a tour guide?’
The students here had all experienced James’s temper before and thought he would definitely get angry with her tone. While everyone was speculating, James just smiled and nodded kindly, “Let’s go and meet the core group.”
Whether it was the senior students or the new ones, everyone was completely confused and thought Mr. Owens was different.
However, the next moment they realized Mr. Owens was still the same as always.
James looked at everyone. His expression suddenly changed, and his voice became serious. “You have one hour to print out all your unresolved questions related to the experiment.”
James paused again, a hint of seriousness in his eyes. “Cherish this opportunity. It knocks but once. Understand?”
After saying this, James walked away with Yvette.
Everyone watched James walking beside Yvette and couldn’t quite believe their eyes because it looked so much like an ancient queen touring with a servant by her side.
When James and Yvette stepped through the core lab’s doors, everyone snapped back to reality.
They were stunned that James took her into the core lab and thought, ‘We’ve never been inside, so how did she get in just like that?
Spencer, who had made a pact with Yvette, turned to look at Ryan.
The others followed his gaze to Ryan at the same time.
Spencer asked, “Ryan, do you know this girl named Yvette?”
“Yeah, Ryan, do you know her? Who is she? She’s really bold, right?” another person asked.
“Did you see how Mr. Owens treats her? My God, she’s more important than Michael.”
A petite girl, the winner of last year’s physics competition in Alpineshire, said to Ryan, “Ryan, you were a bit off just now. Do you have any story with her?”
As a seasoned fangirl, besides doing experiments, she shipped her favorite couples and would appear wherever there was a po couple in the lab.
Everyone who knew her wasn’t surprised by her words.
Ryan tightened his fingers, feeling much easier than before. He noticed the curious looks from those around him and explained, “She is Yvette, from the physics department of Argrol University, just like me. She transferred in this year, and she’s our campus beauty.”
Ryan didn’t reveal Yvette’s family background, which made everyone else even more puzzled.
They didn’t know how a student from Seacrity’s Argrol University could brag about handling any challenge they got.
As known to all, they were all top talents from various regions.
Spencer still thought that James’ last sentences were warning them to seize this opportunity, or they would regret it for the rest of their lives.
Spencer then asked Ryan, “She’s in your department, right? Is she good in her studies? You came first in the Seacrity’s physics competition. How about her?”
Ryan lowered his head but raised his eyes when he heard this. “I don’t know. She hasn’t taken any exams yet and has been on leave for some reason. She didn’t sign up for the physics competition either. I’m not around school much, so I have no idea.”
Some people had contempt and thought Mr. Owens must have gone crazy. They didn’t want a student who didn’t even attend classes regularly to teach them.
Ryan paused, recalling Ethan’s incident, and added, “She’s good at gambling. She once won 100 million dollars overnight.
Hearing her spend 100 million dollars on gambling, the onlookers thought she was a prodigal and quickly labeled Yvette as a big gambler
Originally, Ryan intended to defend Yvette but ended up causing those researchers even more misunderstood. However, he didn’t notice it and was still caught up in the fact that Yvette appeared at the national physics lab.
“Holy shit, Mr. Owens was crazy. How could he make a girl who was always absent teach us?”
“She even said we could come up with any question. Is she kidding?”
“She’s insulting our intelligence. Whoever wants to ask questions can do it. I won’t.”
“Me too. I have experiments and a bunch of reaction tests to do. I don’t have time to waste here.”
The girl with glasses who had just defended Spencer calmly watched them making a fuss. “Guys, calm down. Mr. Owens agreed with what she said for a reason. Spencer has already settled it, so we should do it. Listen, I have a suggestion. There are twenty of us. How about each person come up with one question?”
Hearing this, the others felt much better and nodded in agreement that one question per person was indeed a good idea.
Seeing everyone agree made the girl with glasses feel relieved. She was worried about troubling Spencer.
“Alright, guys, please go back to your seats. We only have an hour. Since Mr. Owens advised us to take it seriously, just pick out a problem you don’t understand.”
