Chapter 32
“Can Lask a question?” Andrew said,
“No,” Wette and Jeremiah answered in unison.
Andrew awkwardly scratched his head, amazed at their uncanny synchronization.
“Do you like milkshakes?” Jeremiah asked, his voice low and smooth. Andrew wondered if he was trying to flirt with Yvette.
Yvette propped her chin up, narrowing her eyes slightly. “So, you’re that creep?”
Jeremiah cleared his throat to mask his embarrassment, then quickly said, “No.”
Andrew was curious. Milkshakes? Creep? What are they talking about?
Yvette clearly didn’t buy it, but she chose not to retort. Seeing her reaction, Jeremiah suggested, “How about I treat you to
steak?”
Yvette stared at him silently for a moment. “And three milkshakes,” she said, her expression as frosty as ever.
Andrew was stunned when Jeremiah made the suggestion. He had tried numerous times to invite Jeremiah he had always declined. Yet here he was, cagerly extending an invitation to a girl he had just met.
Deal” Jeremiah replied promptly, clearly pleased with Yvette’s appetite.
out for steak, but
The three went to a steakhouse. Yvette ordered ten steaks, along with foie gras, caviar, sausages, asparagus… a total of over forty dishes, which filled the entire table.
Andrew poked at the steak on his plate, stunned by the amount of food Yvette had ordered. The girls he usually dined with had small appetites, often claiming they were full after just a few bites. This was the first time he had encountered a girl like Yvette, who had such a hearty appetite.
Yvette leisurely enjoyed her steak, with three milkshakes beside her. Sitting to her left was Jeremiah, and across from her was Andrew. The two guys were both handsome, but Yvette only paid attention to the steak.
“Wow, those two guys are so handsome.
“Yeah. I wish I could get their phone numbers.
“Forget it; the girl sitting next to them is so pretty; they probably wouldn’t be interested in you”
That’s true; let’s go!
The young girls in the steakhouse were secretly eyeing Jeremiah and Andrew. Some wanted to approach and ask for their contact information, but they hesitated because Jeremiah and Yvette looked like bigshots.
Tm Jeremiah Chavez, a librarian, Jeremiah introduced himself.
“Yvette Zeller, a freshman in the physics department, Yvette replied.
-Andrew felt a bit awkward; he thought their introductions were far too brief.
After Yvette finished one steak, Jeremiah handed her another plate without hesitation. Andrew realized that today had been the most shocking day of his twenty years of life. It was the first me he had seen Jeremiah serving someone their meal and enjoying it so much. He didn’t even want to watch anymore.
Yvette focused on her meal, while Jeremiah remained silent. This atmosphere made Andrew feel uncomfortable.
“Ms. Zeller, may I ask how you two know each other?” Andrew couldn’t help but ask.

Yvette slowly finished her last bite of meat. Jeremiah handed her a napkin, which she casually took to wipe her mouth, showing no sign of hesitation.
Andrew was already used to things like this. Today had presented enough surprises for him.
Yvette seemed to be in a good mood, her earlier irritability having subsided significantly, so her tone was relatively mild. “Oh, we just met.”
After saying that, she stood up to leave but paused, turning back to pull a piece of candy from her pocket and throw it to Jeremiah.
Jeremiah picked up the candy Yvette threw on the table, gently rubbing it between his fingers, and then looked smile in his eyes. “Same as that night?”

Ivette paused for a moment, her gaze slightly dreamy, her tone flat. “Not quite; this is to thank you for the steaks.” Then she added quietly. “This can be life-saving
Andrew thought to himself that this girl was quite the exaggerator; he didn’t believe a piece of candy could save anyone’s
life.
Simon sat in the Principal’s office at Argrol University. He was already aware of what had happened on the basketball court yesterday and had issued a serious warning to Victor.
He even called Claude, instructed him to make Victor behave, if there was a next time, Simon would not tolerate Victor’s behavior any longer.
Simon held a low opinion of Claude, and Claude felt similarly about him. Their disdain for each other had roots that stretched back over twenty years. When Simon had just become the president of Argrol University, Claude and the Carter family had not missed a chance to undermine him.
Their relationship could be described as one of complete avoidance. If it weren’t for Victor’s outrageous behavior this time, Simon would not have reached out to Claude,
This incident further convinced Simon that Yvette must know the one codenamed S. Getting the Carter family to back down was not an easy task, and given Simon’s knowledge of Claide, he suspected there was more to the story.
Simon was also troubled by another matter: the genius in physics, S, was nowhere to be found. He hadn’t received any
emails from S either.
James called to inform him that higher-ups would send someone to assist in locating S and urged him to cooperate as much as possible. However, nearly half a month had passed, yet no one had reached out to him.
If it weren’t for James’s personal phone call, Simon would have thought this might all be a hoax,
On the phone, James had been somewhat hesitant, only hinting that Simon should be careful not to offend this person. But now, that person had yet to show up. Simon could only sigh heavily in the Principal’s office.
Meanwhile, after finishing her steaks, Yvette returned to the physics classroom and just happened to see a group of people arguing at the door.
“Wanna fight?” she asked. For some reason, even though the crowd had been quite loud earlier, as soon as Yvette spoke, they
fell silent.

eve turned around to see Yvette leaning lazily against the wall, her mouth curled in a smirk, her delicate and cool face hsting a host of mischief, one leg slightly bent.
Wananchi she asked again. The crowd seemed to awaken from a dream.
The gestigator was Sharon Sullivan, Winona’s close friend, who had specifically come to the physics department to get revenge for Winona.
Brushed up to Yvette, speaking nervously, “Ms. Gorgeous, you should leave quickly. Sharon is here to cause trouble. To you. She is Winona’s best friend.”
Rome and the other physics students surrounded Yvette as if protecting a chick from a hawk. Sharon strode over with an air of superiority, followed by several intimidating-looking girls
We are civilized people, unlike you, bumpkin. I’m here to challenge you. In three days, there will be a Frixyia speech. tition in the auditorium: if you’re capable, come and compete, Sharon declared.
The physics students were indignant, voicing their condemnation of Sharon’s shamelessness. Sharon ignored the others and fixed her gaze on Yvette, her contempt barely concealed in her eyes.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
What’s wrong? Are you too scared? If you are, just admit defeat and go apologize to Winona!” Sharon said.

Seeing Yvette’s puzzled expression. Bonnie quickly lowered her voice and said, “Ms. Gorgeous, don’t agree to this. It’s a tradion at Argrol University for different departments to invite each other for friendly competitions. Sharon shameless she wants to compete with you in Frixyia. She’s one of the top three students in the Frixyia department, and she’s clearly trying to bully you
After being to Bonnie’s explanation and glancing at the confident Sharon, Yvette’s expression remained calm as she curled helps into a slightly mischievous smile. “Challenge accepted”
Sharon smirked. She was eager to defeat Yvette. The physics students felt a wave of concern, believing that Yvette was destined to lose and not understanding why she would agree to such a challenge.
After genting Yvette’s response, Sharon marched off with her group.
