Nichole was taken aback. Why was Sophie here?


    Soon, themotion at the door alerted the invigtor inside. The invigtor barked angrily, “Which to?


    This is an examination room, do you know that? Everyone, stay away from the exam hall.”


    department do all of you belong


    The students around scuried off, but Krystal, still hopeful, clung to Nichole and said to the invigtor,


    “Sir, we are juniors, and we’re also preparing for postgraduate studies, so we wanted to take a look at


    this year’s exam paper to study it.”


    The invigtor’s expression softened a bit at the sight of Nichole. After all, Nichole was a student


    sponsored by James, so the invigtor handed over the exam paper to her quite readily.


    When Nichole saw the questions on the exam paper, she looked troubled.


    “It’s a pity, Harold isn’t here.” Krystal lowered her head in disappointment, and then nced at Nichole.


    Noticing her frowning, Krystal couldn’t help but ask, “Is everything okay?”


    Nichole shook her head, “The questions this year are really tough. I’m not sure I can score well.”


    But precisely because of this, Sophie definitely wouldn’t pass.


    Nichole felt somewhat relieved, thankful that James had advised her not to sit for the exam this year. It


    turned out he already knew the questions were going to be difficult this year.


    Thinking of James‘ favoritism towards her, Nichole felt a secret thrill.


    Meanwhile, inside the exam hall, Sophie was writing with concentration, and a good amount of time


    had already passed when suddenly, there was a loud noise from outside.


    ‘Bang-


    The exam hall door burst open as two bodyguards dragged in a man with fiery red hair. The man at all.


    cibly seated and couldn’t move


    Sophie thought the man looked quite familiar. If she remembered correctly, this was Harold, the second


    son of the Aldridge family. From what she recalled, Harold used to be reckless and violent but


    possessed a sharp business acumen. Before she died in her


    po


    It seemed he had some capabilities.


    “I’m not going to write!” Harold’s maic voice broke the silence of the entire hall.

    Sophie felt that the man in front of her didn’t quite match the domineering Harold she remembered, but


    soon she realized Harold was still seen as a prodigal son by everyone.

    Who could have imagined that such a person would transform into a top–tier businessman capable of


    contending with James after few years of upheavals in the Aldridge family?

    With this thought, Sophie couldn’t help but observe Harold for a while longer, and Harold also nced


    at Sophie from the corner of his


    eye.


    Sophie immediately lowered her head, cursing her luck that Harold’s exam seat was right next to hers


    today.


    Until the end of the exam, Harold didn’t write a single word.


    by the neck. “Hey!”


    Sophie breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of what Harold did, at least her own performance was


    secure. Just as Sophie was stepping out of the exam hall, a strong force suddenly pulled her back


    Harold pinned Sophie against the wall, his eyeszy yet piercing like an eagle’s, and his physique,


    likely due to working out, seemed exceptionally robust.


    Sir, I don’t know you.” Sophie said, feigning calm. She was certain Harold’s punch could send her into


    another reincarnation.


    Why did you deliberately answer thest question wrong on the exam paper just now?” Harold’s eyes


    seemed to see right through her.


    Sophie’s breath hitched.
