Chapter 21

Cherry Foster glanced at him and seemed unhappy, "You’re not even in the same class as me, why sit here?"

Before Anders Spence could reply, Raine Nolan, who was sitting next to Cherry, chimed in, "Cherry, just let Jameson sit here. The physics teacher likes to assign in-class work, and we can help him if he doesn’t understand something. If he sits over there and can’t do the work, the teacher might make him stay after class."

Anders Spence nodded and gave Cherry a pleasing smile, "Raine is right, I’m not good at school, I’ll need your help."

Cherry still frowned slightly, neither refusing nor agreeing.

Considering this as consent, Anders Spence showed Raine a grateful smile.

Raine returned the smile, but suddenly stiffened for a second.

Following her gaze, Anders Spence looked back and saw Chloe Collins entering through the doorway. His face instantly turned sour.

Cherry also saw her and pouted, "How unlucky, we have class with her!"

Raine bit her lip and said, "Sorry, Cherry. My cousin went to your house and caused trouble."

Anders Spence spoke up, "Why apologize? You’re not the one causing trouble."

After saying that, he looked back at Chloe Collins with a disgusted expression.

Chloe Collins was looking down at her phone, her eyes showing a hint of irritation.

Alexander’s assistant was calling her, inviting her to have lunch together.

She had already refused, but the calls kept coming.

This time, she ruthlessly blacklisted the number.

The bell rang, and a middle-aged man with a receding hairline, wearing a striped shirt and black dress pants, walked in.

"Class is beginning, everyone be quiet."

As if his words were a spell, Chloe Collins began to feel sleepy.

This was also the main reason she enjoyed attending classes: it helped her fall asleep.

She couldn’t sleep well at night, so she could make up for it by coming to class the next day.

Chloe rested her head on one hand, squinted her eyes, and gathered her energy.

After some time passed, someone tapped her desk, and she opened her eyes.

Her deskmate signaled her, "Chloe, the teacher is calling you to solve a problem."

Chloe Collins slowly lifted her head and lazily looked towards the teacher standing on the stage.

There, besides the teacher, stood Raine Nolan.

In Raine’s hand was a whiteboard marker, and on the whiteboard behind her were full solution steps for one problem, while another problem was left blank.

Soft whispers from classmates reached her ears—

"Raine is so good, even solving such a difficult problem. No wonder she’s rank one in the grade!"

"But why would she recommend Chloe to solve the other problem? There’s no way someone from an ordinary class can do it."

The teacher spoke, "Chloe Collins, what are you waiting for? Come up and solve the problem."

With an indifferent expression, Chloe walked up to the stage, picked up a marker, and stared at the problem for several seconds.

Everyone in the key class laughed, "It’s too hard for someone in the ordinary class. This is a competition-level problem; even we can’t solve it."

"Look at Chloe Collins, even reading the problem is difficult for her. She probably doesn’t even understand the problem yet."

Just then, Chloe wrote an answer on the whiteboard, her face expressionless.

Everyone was shocked.

Most of them were stunned, and Raine’s smile vanished because this was an unexpected situation.

This problem was beyond the syllabus; even she couldn’t solve it and could only write up to the second step at most.

However, Chloe used just a few seconds to look at the problem and wrote down the final answer.

The answer was complicated, not something anyone could write randomly.

Although it wasn’t the correct answer, it wasn’t the result Raine had hoped for.

Raine knew Chloe Collins’s academic level—mediocre and barely maintaining a passing grade.

With such a level, at most, she would be able to write down a simple formula.

So what was going on now?

The teacher, suppressing his surprise, asked, "Where are the solution steps?"

Chloe Collins tossed the whiteboard marker back on the stage, "Too lazy to write them."

"Pfft!"

Many people laughed, mostly those from the key class.

"It’s not too lazy to write, it’s that you can’t write them, right?"

"Teacher, you’re being too hard on her. Give her some face. After all, she’s a girl." Someone tried to suppress their laughter.

"Being able to guess such a complicated answer is not easy. Teacher, please let her off. After all, not everyone is Raine Nolan," someone else said.

Raine slightly lowered her head, the corners of her mouth curling up.

This was the effect she wanted.

To let Chloe Collins know who was truly number one.

The teacher suddenly asked Chloe, "Did you guess this answer?"
