Chapter 643

Basked under the bright sunlight, a woman approached them.

The woman had flawless porcelain skin that seemed to glow under the sun.

Though the woman’s face was bare, her natural beauty outshone Wendy’s elaborate makeup. Her
breathtaking beauty would have put even Helen of Troy to shame. The gorgeous woman was none
other than Arielle.

Immediately, a scowl graced Wendy and Donovan’s faces.

But, while Wendy’s venomous glare was full of hatred, Donovan had a conflicted look.

“Mr. Baxter.” Arielle bowed politely as she greeted him.

Donovan ignored her greeting and turned toward Wendy instead. “I almost forgot to tell you that there
will be a professor from Maxwell University coming here as a guest lecturer tomorrow. Coincidentally, I
don’t have a lecture. Hence, I won’t be present. Professor Sleight said that you are fluent in
Ustranasion. You’ll act as a translator for the guest lecturer and accompany him around the campus.”

“A guest lecture from Maxwell University?” Wendy’s eyes lit up with excitement as she nodded eagerly.
“I promise to keep him company tomorrow.”

“All right.”

Donovan and Wendy chatted excitedly, and the both of them pointedly ignored Arielle.

Uninterested in their conversation, Arielle entered the classroom.

Although Donovan was engaged in a conversation with Wendy, his gaze kept darting toward Arielle.
Even when he asked Wendy to act as the guest lecturer’s translator, he unconsciously raised his voice.



Even though he didn’t know why he ignored Arielle on purpose, Donovan felt unhappy when he caught
sight of Arielle’s moody expression.

The classroom door swung shut behind Arielle, and Donovan decided to excuse himself. “Why don’t
you head in first? Remember to prepare thoroughly for tomorrow.”

Wendy was unaware of Donovan’s odd behavior. She nodded profusely and said, “I will! Let me head
in first, Mr. Baxter.”

“Okay.”

As soon as Donovan spoke, the school bell chimed loudly.

Since it was an advanced math class, Donovan made his way into the classroom with his lecture notes.

As soon as Donovan stepped foot into the class, it fell silent.

After all, everyone was terrified of Donovan stern demeanor.

Donovan’s sharp gaze swept across the class. “Let us start our class. Flip to page seventy-four of your
books,” he announced

Following his instructions, Arielle was shocked to see that Donovan had taught the class over twenty
pages of material while she was on a short leave.

The speed of his teaching is astonishing! How can the other students keep up with this?

All of a sudden, her phone chimed to signal that she’d received a message.

Immediately, Donovan’s sharp gaze slid toward her. “There are some students who spend their free
time studying. Yet, some students go on leave at the slightest inconvenience. Even after returning, they



don’t focus in class. Don’t put the blame on me for not giving you a second chance when you leave the
preparatory class,” Donovan uttered coldly.

Although he did not mention any names, it was crystal clear that he was talking about Arielle.

The corners of Arielle’s mouth twitched as she muted her phone.

Initially, she planned to see how far Donovan had progressed in class, but just as she set her phone to
silent mode, Arielle caught sight of the message,

Subordinate: Mr. Nightshire, we have finished debugging the ten robotic pacemakers. They have been
shipped to Chanaea.

If Arielle hadn’t received this text, Zachary’s incident would have flown over her head.

Swiftly, she responded to the text and focused her attention on the textbook.

Though the current course taught by Donovan was more advanced and difficult, Arielle still found it
relatively easy.

After a few pages, she felt bored and decided to read through the Chanaean textbook instead.

Donovan, who was giving his lecture on the podium, found that his gaze kept darting back to Arielle. No
matter how hard he tried to resist the urge, he could not control himself.
