Chapter 19: Got Something On Her

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the exam, the invigilator left the classroom and happened to meet Zhu Lan in the hallway. He hurriedly stopped her and said, “Claire is your student, no? Wow, she turned in the paper only five minutes after the exam began!”
Zhu Lan disliked Claire a lot. “That idiot, I bet she handed in a blank test paper, right?”
“No, I checked it. The test paper was filled.”
Zhu Lan was stunned, then burst into laughter. She said with contempt, “She must have scribbled on the test paper.”
“Ms. Zhu, why are you so sure?”
Zhu Lan said with great certainty, “I know her too well, OK? If she can get a good result in this exam, I’ll eat shit!”
At the same time, in the classroom, Derek elbowed Claire and asked her in a low voice. “Why did you hand in your test paper so soon? You could have copied my paper if you didn’t know how to answer the questions.”
Claire glanced at him, too lazy to talk.
Derek was still nagging. “Even if you don’t know how to answer the questions, you should fill up the test paper. Maybe you can get some comfort points, but you just handed in your test paper in five minutes. This is not good…”
While he was speaking, Claire suddenly pulled out her school bag from the drawer.
Derek blinked with puzzlement. “Claire, what are you doing?”
Claire said coldly, “I want to change my seat.”
“Huh? Why?”
“You talk too much.”
“…”
Derek finally closed his mouth.
After school.
Claire carried her school bag and got into Adam’s car.
This scene happened to be spotted by Phoebe.
She immediately stopped a taxi and said to the driver, “Track the car in front.”
Obviously, it was not in the direction of their home.
She’d like to see where Clair was going. This way she might be able to get something on her.
Following Adam’s car all the way to the entrance of a hotel, the car stopped.
Claire and Adam both got out of the car.
Phoebe, who was hiding in the distance, suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief.
How could Claire be with Professor Cooper?
And… they came to a hotel…
Surging waves were set off in Phoebe’s heart. She took out her cell phone, and pointed it at the two of them, secretly taking photos.
With a beep, Claire swiped her card to enter the suite.
Claire casually threw the schoolbag on the bed, and Adam picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to her.
“These are the questions of the Mathematical Olympiad Preliminary test I just drafted last night. Would you like to try solving them?”
Claire took the paper and glanced at the questions. The gloom in her heart vanished.
“After I was forced to do that boring test paper, here finally came some challenging questions.”
Adam laughed out loud.
He liked this girl’s supercilious and haughty way.
Claire sat cross-legged on the ground with a pen cap in her mouth. Within a few minutes, she returned the test paper to Adam.
“You finished solving them so soon?” Adam took a look at the test paper and gasped in shock.
Then he patted his thigh in excitement and exclaimed. “Wonderful! Wonderful!”
There were countless ways to solve a Mathematical Olympiad problem.
The method which Claire provided was precise, ingenious, and unique, one that he had never seen before.
Except for her, in this world, no one could come up with such a wonderful method!
Claire raised her eyebrows. “Try converting the equation in the middle into words.”
Adam did as she told him and got the word ‘Clair’.
Claire actually incorporated her name into the equation.
Holding the test paper as if he had obtained some treasure, Adam paced back and forth in the room, spluttering with excitement. “Little Claire… you… literally refreshed my cognition once again!”
Claire smiled, and stood up with her schoolbag. “Take your time reading it. I’m leaving.”
