Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Clever Appearance

Chapter 72

As soon as Maurice Willis left, he immediately started to contact people from Fire, a mysterious and powerful organization similar in nature to the Dark Alliance. Both groups took orders and completed tasks, but while most members of the Dark Alliance were assassins, those in Fire were responsible for using computers to investigate and gather information for their clients, similar to detectives, but with a broader scope of operations.

Maurice never imagined that such an organization would refuse to take a case related to Layla Lowell.

Could it be... superstition?

After all, Luna Lowell had recently spread many rumors about Layla online, claiming that she was an ominous star and that anyone who got close to her would suffer bad luck.

Maurice thought about it, but still found it unlikely.

For such a powerful organization to believe in such things seemed too far-fetched.

He didn’t continue to ponder, instead, he quickened his pace to deal with the matter at hand.

During lunch break, Alexander Foster received a message from his mother.

[Today after work, go pick up Chlo-Chlo from school. I have something to do and can’t go. The family driver is on leave as well. By the way, don’t leave this task to your assistant.]

Alex looked indifferent.

He never bothered with things that were irrelevant and troublesome.

Buzz buzz, another message came in.

[Chlo-Chlo might have been bullied. As her brother, you should go see her in person. Reply when you receive this.]

After having lunch outside, Chloe Collins returned to school.

As the test-takers had classes all day, plus the imminent monthly test, the senior students almost spent all their time reviewing, even not eating fish during meal time, because taking out fish bones would waste time.

Although it was lunch break, there were still more than ten top students bent over their books in the classroom.

The Ordinary Class was not short of diligent people; they were even more hardworking than those in the key class; however, their abilities were lacking, making their results climb more slowly.

Chloe Collins sat in the teachers’ exclusive area by the wall in the corridor, drinking yogurt and reading comic books with great interest.

The latest Chapter was about a serial killer disposing dead bodies.

Just as it got to an exciting part, someone knocked on her desk.

She looked up and saw Keith Grant and Lilian Pearce.

Chloe’s indifferent eyes became colorful when she saw Lilian. She naturally put away her phone, stood up, and her face softened, "Ms. Pearce, Professor Grant."

This was the first time Keith Grant had seen her so well-behaved, and he was surprised.

However, he immediately frowned the next second, "Chloe Collins, what were you just looking at?"

Chloe didn’t hide it, "A comic book."

"Sigh, Ms. Pearce, listen up, listen up. This student is the most difficult to teach that I’ve ever seen. Instead of studying, she’s reading these worthless books. The day after tomorrow is the monthly test. When the results come out, you will definitely be transferred to the Dreamers class by your head teacher. It will be even harder to raise your scores then."

Lilian looked a bit strange, "Uh, Professor Grant, it’s not that serious..."

"How is it not? You saw it too. I’m not wronging her."

Lilian smiled, "Each child has different talents. Some children can understand things without much effort. We can’t be that rigid."

Keith Grant didn’t agree but said a few words before leaving.

Lilian stayed behind and asked Chloe, "Chlo-Chlo, have you heard about the Chemistry competition?"

Chloe nodded.

"The teacher wants you to participate. She’ll take care of the remedial classes. You’ll go to her house after school every day."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Suddenly, Mia Nolan appeared.

She walked over, hooked Lilian’s arm, and looked at Chloe Collins with a vigilant gaze, "Only students with good grades can enter the competitive class. Besides, I’ve also signed up. You don’t let your own daughter review, but let someone else do it..."
