Chapter 1181
He was very serious, and the others present didn’t dare to make a sound.
Lucas Locke was also frightened by his sharp gaze, he was literally at a loss for words.
The atmosphere was oppressive.
Chloe Collins spoke slowly, "Professor Rocker, as far as I know, this batch of equipment is for all students and staff in the school to use, as long as the purpose is regular, everyone can use it."
Shane Rocker sneered, "Young lady, who told you that? How is it that my own words are less credible than your hearsay?"
Chloe slowly took out her mobile phone, looked down at it, and said, "The professor always emphasizes rules. I’m just curious, who exactly sets the rules here? The school, or you privately?"
"That’s a strange question, are you doubting our behaviour?" someone said.
"I’m merely curious."
Shane Rocker said in a deep voice, "This batch of new equipment is very expensive, and only for the use in the laboratory."
"May I ask, who said so?"
"It’s a regulation!"
"Then, may I ask, does the investor have the right to use this equipment?"
"Investor?" Shane Rocker chuckled, "Why mention investors? It’s none of your business."
As his words fell, a ringtone suddenly rang out, very abruptly!
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound source--Manie York.
Manie York looked down and was instantly surprised, "It’s Mr. White, Mr. White is calling!"
Shane Rocker’s eyes lit up, and so did everyone else’s. For a moment, no one noticed Chloe and her group, nor did anyone notice that Chloe’s phone was still connected.
Manie York immediately answered the call and put it on speaker.
"Hello Mr. White, this is Manie York who contacted you yesterday. I’m very sorry to disturb you, but we are going to hold a celebration tomorrow night and we’d love for you to join us."
There was silence on the other side.
Everyone was very tense.
Shane Rocker had subconsciously assumed that the person on the other end of the line was a man of his own age, so he was also quite anxious, waiting for a response.
Just then--
"I’m already here."
A cold and detached female voice echoed "twice".
Everyone froze for a moment.
Then, someone’s face changed.
In an instant, Manie York’s smile disappeared, and she quickly turned to look at Chloe Collins.
Chloe Collins was standing there holding her phone, looking calm.
"This... can’t be right..."
"Mr. White?"
"Is it a wrong call?"
Shane Rocker’s first reaction was that there was a mistake: "Manie, what’s going on!"
Manie York thought for a moment, then said: "Professor Willow must have given me the wrong number!"
She looked at Chloe, her eyes accusing. "No wonder no one picked up my calls. You know my number, you wouldn’t pick it up, that’s alright. But after seeing my message, why didn’t you reply to tell me the number was wrong?"
Everyone was visibly disappointed.
Chloe hung up the call and said, "The number wasn’t wrong."
Everyone became anxious again.
Manie York frowned, "Are you implying that you are the investor, Mr. White?"
Everyone wanted to laugh at this comment, it sounded like a joke. Except two people, one was Sophia Spence, who had an onlooking expression, and the other was Nathaniel Nolan, who was stunned.
"Chloe, you mentioned before that you were investing in a project. Was it our project?!"
Chloe did not conceal anything: "Yes."
"Damn!" Nathaniel Nolan couldn’t hold it back and cursed out loud.
Considering his outburst, it basically seemed believable!
