Could it be⦠your neighbor, Miss Smith?
Surely not, could it?
Liam shook his head and dismissed the idea. It was impossible.
The night before, Miss Smith had said with certainty that sheâd be fineâ¦.
But if Miss Smith was so capable, how could she live in an ordinary neighborhood like his?
Therefore, it could not be her.
But Miss Smithâs confident look and tone made him doubt againâ¦.
âWho is it? Who have I offended? Jesse, youâve got to tell me why this is happening to me!â cried Fred.
On the other side, Jesse was silent for a moment before finally saying, âIâve already told you, youâve offended someone you shouldnât have. Thatâs all I can tell you. Fred, go away. Donât make any trouble, otherwise things will get even worse for you.â
With that, Jesse hung up.
Fred wanted to call him back, but at that moment security came in.
âFred, please leave the companyâ¦â

Nora showed up again at Staav University.
She had come pretending to be an exchange student, so she was assigned a room in solitary. Of course, Nora had already submitted an application to live off campus. She had also been approved.
Your imagination thrives at galnovels puntocom At Staav University, exchange students were required to have a classmate to guide them in their studies. The counselor had assigned her the top student in her major to guide her.
She was a very tall, slightly chubby girl. Blonde and blue-eyed, she wore glasses and looked like a very particular pedant.
The counselor said, âOscar, please take care of Lisa for the next three months, okay?â
Oscar nodded. âYes, I will take good care of her. I mean, Iâll try my best, but if she canât keep up with me, I wonât slow down my work just because of her because she seems like a burden to me. Thatâs fine, isnât it?â
The counselor nodded. âOf course. Lisa is the top student in the Biology Department at NYU School of Medicine. Well, you should be able to show her the difference between Staav University and New York University School of Medicine, right?â
The Department of Biology at NYU School of Medicine was not even ranked in the country. They were only able to have an exchange program with an international university like Staav because the president of NYU School of Medicine had made an agreement with the president of Staav University.
In fact, all the students in the department looked down on the NYU School of Medicine.
Only at the counselorâs request did Oscar reluctantly agree to the request. He looked at Nora reluctantly and appraised her. He asked, âNo offense, but does your school choose exchange students based on their appearance?â
After saying that, fearing that Nora would misunderstand, he shrugged and added, âWhat I mean is that you are very beautiful.â
This girl looked down on NYU Medical School, so naturally she had a feeling of superiority.
However, Nora could understand it. Universities were also ranked in the U.S. Would students at MIT, Stanford or Harvard think well of those below them?
No matter how great the achievements of those at the bottom, the star students would always unconsciously have a kind of pride in them.
Oscar did not deliberately repress it, but showed it directly and openly. Nora did not dislike it.
She smiled and said, âYouâre very pretty too.â
Oscar shook his head. âBut beauty cannot substitute for knowledge. You should know that the courses at our university are relatively extreme and the professors here are all impressive people. The professor in our class is a famous figure in the field of biology. His name is Epson, Iâm sure youâve heard of him! He is already a top figure in the pharmaceutical profession and the drugs he developed have become the best in the pharmaceutical industry.â
Nora: ââ¦â
His acquaintances were simply everywhere.
How was it possible that he didnât know Epson?
That guy emailed her frequently because he wanted to do research with her on a clinical drug. Because of the difficulty and precision of the study, Epson had been emailing her for a whole year!
Of course, she hadnât accepted even now.
And now she was going to go to his classes?
How interesting.
Nora put her head down and walked into the classroom with Oscar. Oscar had always been a model student, so he wanted to go straight to the front as soon as he walked in.
Unfortunately, since the counselor had summoned her to meet Nora, they were a little late, so the front row was full.
Staav University students loved to study.
Oscar looked at Nora with resentment. âLooks like next time weâll have to come earlier.â
Nora nodded.
She and Oscar could only sit in the corner of the back row.
Still, many people continued to enter the classroom after that, some even standing in the back to listen.
Nora was puzzled â werenât there enough seats at a university as big as Staav?
Just as she wondered, Oscar resolved her doubts. âEveryone likes Professor Epsonâs lectures, so people from other majors always come to listen every time he lectures. geez! But they are very self-conscious, so they will let us have the seats first.â
Nora: ââ¦â
The academic environment here sure was intense!
Even a lazy person like her found it a bit touching.
Yes, it seems that she really had been too lazy before and had wasted all her time sleeping. In the future, she mustâ¦. Tell the three children to never learn from her!
As soon as she thought of this, Nora yawned.
She had become sleepy again.
Oscar looked at her. âYou must be serious in class. If you get distracted for even a moment, you wonât be able to follow Professor Epsonâs thread. During his previous class, my stomach hurt too much, so I went out for five minutes. When I came back, it seemed to me that he was speaking Greek.â
â⦠Youâre not exaggerating?â
âNo, Iâm not.â Oscar continued. âThe theoretical knowledge of students at NYU School of Medicine is very poor, so itâs okay even if you donât understand the class. I can lend you my notes after class.â
Nora paused. Suddenly, she asked, âI have a question: how can I get grades to access a file in the Biology Department?â
âYou mean file No. 004?â
Oscar looked at her again. âYou have no chance of doing that. That file is very valuable, only a few in the biology department have seen it. There are some requirements you must meet if you want that access. The first requirement is that you must understand Epsonâs lessons.â
He then said, âYou have to be down to earth in your learning. Take it slow, one step at a time. Donât be greedy.â
Seeing this, Nora frowned. âWhat if I can understand Professor Epsonâs class?â
âHow can that be?â Oscar obviously thought what she said was a joke. âEven I canât understand it at all, so how could it be possible for you to understand it?â
As Oscar spoke, Professor Epson walked in. As soon as he entered, his eyes swept the entire classroom and suddenly landed on Nora.
