Chapter 830

The advanced archives had an all-metal interior design.

Although it was a file room, it was actually more like a large safe. Nora looked around the room filled with technology. The room was over 1,500 square feet and there were many shelves lining the walls. There were small boxes on all the shelves.

Each box was marked with a label.

Nora looked over. From the outside to the inside, there were hundreds – almost a thousand – of them.

In the center was a long table with only paper and pens. It was very neat and clean.

The files in the advanced files were all confidential material of great importance that should not be leaked. For reasons of confidentiality, they had never been digitized, to avoid hacking attempts by hackers like Q and Y.

The files were also never loaned out. You had to read all the files you wanted to consult in the room itself.

So, at that time there were elites from various industries sitting at the long table. Most were graduate students working on projects with their mentors.

Some professors also had to come over to consult the materials.

Only one or two grad students could access the room.

Nora didn’t make much noise when she entered, but she was startled to see the room full of people.

She certainly hadn’t expected it to be such a lively place.

After she entered, a student on duty asked her, “Who are you, how did you get in?”

Nora stood thoughtfully for a moment.

The student guard seemed to have a very suspicious look on his face. There were only a certain number of people who could come in here to study and consult the materials, so no doubt he would know who had access and who did not.

Therefore, he probably couldn’t pretend that he had come in to read the books here.

Therefore, Nora simply replied, “I went the wrong way.”

After speaking, she wanted to leave.

However, she was stopped by the student. “Miss, you cannot leave. You must clearly explain why you are here, otherwise, we have reason to suspect that you are here to steal important school data.”

Advanced archives were the crucial capital of Staav University that had enabled it to establish its position and rank third among all universities in the world. Therefore, security here would undoubtedly be tight.

Nora looked at the card in her hand.

She was about to explain that she had found a card and had entered without knowing what this place was when a low, deep voice suddenly reached them.

“How did you find this place?”

When Nora turned, she immediately saw Kelvin’s heavily made-up face.

He was wearing eye shadow and long eyeliner, giving him an even more captivating look than usual. His complexion was very fair from all the makeup, but the thick foundation was not surprisingly caked on.

After not seeing him for two days, the man’s skin condition seemed to have improved.

Nora didn’t understand why such a thought would pop into her mind at a critical moment like that. The next moment, however, Kelvin looked at the student on duty and said with resignation, “He’s my fan.”

The student immediately sighed. “I knew it! Kelvin, we agreed to let you shoot here, but only for half an hour; and you’re not allowed to touch any of our stuff here either. But your fans are even sneaking in now…”

Kelvin was very tall. He leaned against the wall lazily and said, “Sorry, since she’s my fan, I’ll take care of her myself.”

After speaking, he walked straight to the door. I hold his wrist as he walked past Nora.

Nora’s jaw dropped.

She stared at the hand holding her wrist.

Her hand… The warmth of his palm was very similar to Justin’s, but at the same time it was also different, because he had a burn scar on the back of his hand.

Kelvin had been burned. The incident took place just a week before Justin faked his death. Therefore, he wasn’t Justin….

After coming out of the archives, Nora came to her senses and threw Kelvin’s hand away. She asked, “Why did you help me?”.

When ‘Kelvin’ heard this, the look in her eyes became a little deeper.

Damn, those eyes were looking a little like Justin’s again! Nora frowned. The next moment, she heard him chuckle and say, “Didn’t I already tell you? Some men like to play with their….. sister-in-law…”

When the man spoke, he leaned in slightly and came close to her ear.

His breath as he spoke tickled her neck. “What do you think, Nora, won’t you give me a chance?”

Nora took a step back and avoided his seduction. Then, she immediately bent her knee to hit him in the crotch. Surprised, Kelvin quickly backed up a step. Only then did he manage to avoid the woman’s attack.

With a sharp glare, Nora said carelessly but aggressively, “Keep a distance of one meter from me from now on. Otherwise, don’t hold a grudge if I get my arms or legs stung by some action!”.

After saying this, he turned and walked away.

As the woman disappeared into the distance, Kelvin touched his head.

His Nora was still as direct and explosive as ever! Wasn’t she a little too harsh? She’d almost kneed him….

Nora went home. Nothing special happened that night, except Liam came over to give them a cake for the evening.

“Rene made it, I hope you like it. By the way, I have managed to keep my job. Mrs. Long’s son has been fired. The landlady also approached Mrs. Long today and informed her that she is going to evict them. Mrs. Long has been ranting and swearing all afternoon, but the landlady is very powerful and not someone she can afford to offend, so she has agreed to leave in three days.”

Liam looked at Nora shyly as he spoke.

He wanted to know if she was the person Fred had offended but he shouldn’t have.

But the woman’s expression was so calm and peaceful that he couldn’t get anything out of her…..

Liam could only return disappointed.

However, Nora didn’t care about such things. All she wanted at that moment was a good night’s sleep.

🍙 🍙 🍙 🍙 🍙

The next day was the cell and molecular biology exam.

As soon as Nora walked in, Oscar frowned and looked at her, with an expression that seemed to expect better from Nora. He handed his book to Nora and said, “The exam starts soon, you’d better take a quick look at it! Otherwise, you won’t pass.”

Nora: “…”

Before she could refuse, the person next to her said, “It’s useless even if I read it now.”

“Yes, it’s impossible for you to do well on the exam. All the exchange students who come here every year from the Biology Department of New York Medical School are really lousy.”

“New York Medical School is too lousy. Despite being one of the best medical schools in the U.S., they are way behind in biomedical engineering.”

“Yes, I think so too.”

The group of people expressed concern for her.

Oscar was also anxious. The girl sat down next to Nora and said, “Can you take a look, please? If you get an E, it will embarrass us too.”

Unlike most colleges, here the grading system went from A to E:

A stood for ‘Excellent.’

B stood for ‘Good.

C stood for ‘Pass.

D stood for ‘Fail’.

And E represented extremely unsatisfactory performance. Hearing this, Nora raised her eyebrows and handed the book back to Oscar. Right after, she curved her lips into a smile and said, “No, that’s not going to happen.”

Oscar was stunned. “What? Are you saying you’re not going to read it or…”

Before he could finish, Nora said, “What I’m saying is that NYU School of Medicine won’t get a bad grade.”

After all, she had never intended to hide her strength!

Since only ‘excellent’ people could openly go to the archives to read the material there, she would become an ‘excellent’ person!
