Chapter 269
Mirabella’s mind worked swiftly as she connected the dots between the man
standing before her and the professor she had encountered a while back in Mr.
Hammond's office. Wade was distinguished honorary member of the National
Education Association and a seasoned professor of biology at Prestige College.
With a subtle composure, Mirabella nodded gracefully at him. “Professor Wade,
good to see
you.”
Wade met Mirabella's calm gaze and gave a nod. A rare trace of warmth
softened his usually stern features. “Ah, I thought you looked familiar. It's
Mirabella, isn't it?"
a
As Professor Wade's gentle words filled the air, Matthew's expression shifted
from apprehension to surprise. He had braced himself for a rebuke, never
expecting Professor Wade to be acquainted with the girl.
And now, seeing the professor's demeanor, which could only be described as
amiable, was a shock. Some of his peers were double-majoring with the biology
department, and they often likened attending Professor Wade's lectures to an
expedition to the Arctic — frigid and severe.
Mirabella’ lips curved into a faint smile. She glanced at Matthew, who stood
before her, then said sweetly, “I just finished an exam and bumped into Matthew
from the physics department. Curiosity got the better of me, so I tagged along for
a look around.”
At her words, Wade let out a drawn—out “Oh,” then added, “No harm in that,
scouting the place early.” He paused, then with a hint of frustration, added, “Why
didn’t you swing by my biology institute?”
Was it that old rascal Hammond playing his games again?
Mirabella paused, momentarily taken aback. She was just an ordinary high
school senior yet to sit her finals. Could she really just wander into the biology
department at Prestige College?
Wade quipped with a hint of mischief, “Didn't Mr. Hammond tell you anything?”
Mirabella recalled that after her exam, Mr. Hammond had only asked about her
performance and said nothing more. She shook her head in response.
Wade, feeling somewhat snubbed, huffed quietly. So, Hammond had steered her
towards the physics department instead of his own? It seemed their decades—
long camaraderie had reached its limits.
Meanwhile, Mr. Hammond, who was just about to head to his hotel after a
satisfying meal, suddenly sneezed violently. He rubbed his nose, suspecting
someone was speaking ill of him.
“Hey, you two aren't my physics students, are you?" The physics professor, who
had walked some distance away, noticed Wade chatting with the students and
circled back. His gaze landed on Mirabella and Vincent as he inquired.

back into the picture. Matthew felt like breaking down in tears. Trembling, he
explained. “Profe — Professor, they're high school seniors here for the BrainSpark
Nationals. We're from the same city, so I... I brought them here to look around...”
