Chapter 339 - 338: Humblebrag
Chloe Sinclair was taken aback for a moment. She gathered her thoughts and answered uncertainly, "The questions on this test... were pretty simple?"
The classmate: "..."
Friendship over!
Chloe Sinclair felt a bit helpless.
For these university students who were just beginning their study of Physics, this exam might have been very difficult.
But her level of knowledge was already on a completely different plane from theirs.
To her, the questions on the test were as simple as solving one plus one.
So, Chloe Sinclair said comfortingly, "Don’t worry. We went through a lot of those questions together. As long as you didn’t make any careless mistakes, you should be fine."
Everyone here was a high-achiever at Emberfall University, after all, with entrance exam scores averaging over 650.
In the national college entrance exams, a score like that would put them ahead of ninety-nine percent of the competition.
Chloe Sinclair’s words seemed to have a magical quality. The students, who had been worried just a moment ago, immediately breathed a collective sigh of relief.
One student, who usually lagged behind in his studies, chuckled. "Good thing I read Chloe Sinclair’s paper. I knew how to do a lot of the questions because of it. I’ll definitely pass this time."
"I read it too, HAHAHA!"
A harmonious atmosphere filled the classroom.
Only Nina Sinclair, sitting at the very back of the classroom, wore a dark expression as she replayed the exam in her mind.
She had barely attended any of the lectures. And even though she had stopped skipping classes recently, she still couldn’t keep up.
Today’s exam was all written, and she didn’t even recognize the technical terminology on the paper. Out of twelve questions, she hadn’t been able to answer a single one.
Her expression was so grim that the students around her didn’t dare get close.
Just then, Nina Sinclair suddenly stood up. Her chair made a loud CLATTER, echoing through the classroom.
The students sitting nearby jumped at the noise and whipped their heads around to look.
"What the fuck? Is she crazy?"
Someone clutched their chest, clearly startled by the abrupt sound.
Nina Sinclair turned her head and glared at the girl who had just spoken, rage burning inside her.
Nina Sinclair’s glare was murderous. The girl froze, not daring to say another word.
Only after Nina Sinclair had left did the girl huff and mutter, "What’s with the attitude? Wasting her time on nonsense instead of studying."
A brand-new Rolls-Royce was parked right outside the gates of Emberfall University. With so many students coming and going, the conspicuous vehicle naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Then one day, someone saw Nina Sinclair get into it.
Two words simultaneously popped into everyone’s mind: sugar baby.
Meanwhile, Nina Sinclair got into the car, her eyes red from crying.
She buried her face in Joseph Shaw’s chest, her body going limp as she whimpered, "Darling, I completely bombed my exam. What am I going to do?"
With a beautiful woman in his arms, Joseph Shaw felt euphoric. Without a second thought, he said, "Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it for you."
But he regretted it the moment the words left his mouth.
Emberfall University wasn’t like other schools. Whether you were just trying to pass or aiming for a high score, you had to do it on your own.
Throwing money at the problem wouldn’t work.
So, Joseph Shaw sat up straight and gently pushed her away. "Nina," he said, a bit awkwardly, "I’m afraid I can’t help you with this."
Nina Sinclair: "..."
Fury welled up inside her as she demanded, "Why not? Didn’t you just promise me you would?"
Her accusatory tone annoyed Joseph Shaw, but seeing her tear-reddened eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to be harsh. He explained patiently, "I want to help, I really do. But Emberfall University isn’t like other schools. Even if I threw millions at them, they wouldn’t let you pass."
