He continued, “We’re business partners. How can I watch you get bullied?”
Alexandra fell silent and lowered her head.
“Let’s go back and rest. Just stay out of this.”
“Oh.”
It was now in the study.
Julian was on the phone to Marco. “If Alexandra’s exam result appears online tomorrow, upload the recording I sent you online.”
“Mr. Ranford…” Marco hesitated. “Do we really have to do this for Mrs.. Ranford? This way, the relationship between the Ranford family and the McFadden family will…”
“Since when do I need to explain things to you?”
“…Okay, Mr. Ranford. I’ll go make preparations.”
After hanging up, Julian closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat.
Recalling Alexandra’s expression when she said that she was an insignificant person, a different emotion rose in her heart.
They had only known each other for less than a month, but they had already agreed to do a fake marriage on the first day they met. They were just making use of each other.
She had no family in Highclere City, and her only father was a feelingless beast.
She had carefully restrained her impatience and stupidity so that she wouldn’t make trouble for him…
His cell phone rang.
He opened his eyes and grabbed his phone. When he saw the foreign number and name, he frowned for a moment. “Mark, what’s the matter at this time of night?”
“Hey! We received a special email today. In the end, the entire research team was so excited that they couldn’t sleep! Filion, it looks like you’re going to increase the difficulty of this year’s Mathematical Olympiad questions!”
“Hmm?”
“Look at your email. I’ve already sent it to you. Tsk, tsk, tsk… I really want to see who it is!”
Julian quickly opened his email and saw the encrypted email of the International Mathematical Olympiad Research Group at Halver University.
Julian’s eyelids twitched as if he had guessed something.
He placed her finger on the mouse and waited for a while before clicking on it.
After taking a few glances, Julian suddenly straightened his back and quickly read the scanned original from beginning to end.
The phone was still on speaker and on the desk.
A voice came from inside. “Hey! I mean, University of Highclere couldn’t have tricked you into doing your own questions just to do an advertisement, right?”
Chapter 38
Julian stared at the last additional question on the file. Only half of it was finished. It seemed like she didn’t think of a way to solve the question, so she crossed it out in the end.
However, Julian could tell from the information under the scratch that the solution was correct.
She was very close to solving it, except for the last one.
She scored full marks for all the other questions.
Alexandra got full marks.
After a long time, Julian picked up the phone and said to the person on the other end, “Mark, do me a favor.”
aid to room.
After Julian settled the test paper and returned to the bedroom, he saw that Alexandra had already fallen asleep.
She was sleeping like a baby.
Julian looked at her sleeping face and was about to leave when he suddenly saw her frown as if she had a bad dream.
She rubbed
her face on the pillow, and then her forehead relaxed. She fell asleep again.
Julian bent down and covered her with the blanket, then left the bedroom.
When he returned to the study, he held his phone and thought for a long time before making a call.
After it rang a few times, the call went through.
“Hello? Boss, what can I do for you?” A slightly raspy male voice came from the other end of the phone.
Julian said, “Frank, I asked you to investigate Alexandra previously. Investigate her again. Investigate carefully.”
There was silence on the other end as if he was puzzled.
After a while, he replied, “Okay, Boss.”
The next morning, Alexandra, who had a nightmare the entire night, opened her eyes in despair.
When she thought about how the news of her getting a zero in the entrance test was about to be announced to the world, she felt extremely depressed.
Anyway, she was not going to school today.
She probably wouldn’t have to go there in the future.
Julian was already gone.
Alexandra slowly got out of bed, changed her clothes, and went to wash up.
When she came out of the bathroom with a face full of despair, she saw someone sitting on the sofa.
It startled her.
“Mr. Ranford… you… why are you acting like a ghost?”
Julian sat comfortably on the sofa, crossing his long legs and sizing her up.
Alexandra pursed her lips, coughed lightly, and slowly stood in front of him.
This little girl was not pretending.
She was really upset.
Chapter 38
She really thought that she was just an unruly girl who had not even graduated from high school.
Julian originally suspected that she came to his side with ulterior motives, buffer thinking about it for the entire morning. he did not find any flaws in Alexandra.
Of course, it was also possible that Alexandra was too good at acting.
Her acting skills had fooled him.
But what was her purpose?
Julian didn’t reveal any of his thoughts. He looked up slightly and smiled faintly. “What’s wrong? Why are you so upset.”
He placed one hand on his knee and the other on the sofa, tapping his fingers on the sofa.
He seemed to be thinking about something.
At the same time, he did not forget to observe Alexandra’s expression.
Alexandra looked at him resentfully. “What do you think?! I’m about to be executed! Mr. Ranford, Mr. McFadden will definitely announce my results! I’m so embarrassed! I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life!”
As she spoke, she felt so wronged that she was about to cry again.
“If I had known this, I would have studied hard in the past!” Alexandra said regretfully. “When I have a child in the future, I will definitely start educating him from a young age! I can’t let him be like me…” ”
Julian was speechless.
If it was before last night, he would probably have tried to comfort her in the face of her regret and frustration.
But now seemed a bit late.
The result had just been sent back to the academic affairs office of University of Highclere.
He had only tampered with it a little.
Julian lowered his head and chuckled.
Alexandra frowned. She wondered if he was laughing at her.
“Even you are making fun of me!”
Julian stood up from the sofa and looked at her quietly. There was a deep and ambiguous look in his amber eyes that Alexandra could not understand.
I’m not making fun of you,” he said. “Come on, have breakfast, and then go to school.”
“Go to school? I don’t want to go! I can’t afford to look like an idiot!” Alexandra immediately expressed her rejection and strongly refused. Then, she thought about it and wondered if Julian had used some special methods.
She walked forward and grabbed Julian’s wrist without care. She shook it and pouted. “Mr. Ranford, I beg you. Don’t make things difficult for Mr. McFadden! Why are you making things so difficult for me? Grandma will be very angry if you do this. Grandma is already so old, but you’re still angry at her. Are you going to be one of those bad grandsons? To think you even taught me not to disobey Grandma. You have to set a good example for me!”
Julian listened to every word she said seriously. He really couldn’t see that she was putting on an act.
Now he didn’t know what was going on.
“Never mind, he’ll find out,” he thought.

He seemed unmoved as his thin lips opened. “Alright, I promise you that I won’t make things difficult for Mr. McFadden”
“Really? You mean what you say?” Alexandra was stunned for a moment and taget her head to look at him.
It was adorable.
Julian’s heart itched.
Only then did he realize that her little claws were still grabbing his wrist.
He gently retracted his wrist and stuffed it into his pocket. He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes with a hint of affection that he did not realize. “Yes. When did I go back on my word?”
“That’s right. Mr. Ranford is the best.” Alexandra also realized that she held his hand just now and could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
Julian walked out. “Let’s go and eat.”
The two of them had just gone downstairs when Josephine, who had gone out for a walk, entered the house.
