Simon pointed to the spicy snacks on the table. “I asked Tobias about these. He said you young folks all love them.”


    Yvette turned her face slightly, paused for a few seconds, and then spoke slowly. Tve never tried them before.”


    Simon was taken aback, feeling a bit disappointed. It seemed like he had bought the wrong thing as Yvette wasn’t fond of it.


    Yvette gave him a brief nce, her expression as calm and indifferent as always, paused for a few seconds, and said, “I guess 1 might like it.”


    Simon’s old face lit up with joy, though he looked a bit awkward


    Yvette lowered her gaze and gently rubbed the rim of the cup with her fingers. She wondered, ‘Should I not say that?”


    Simon had a serious reason for finding Yvette. Recalling the instructions from Betrico, he quickly straightened his posture.


    His tone became more serious and his face turned serious


    Looking at Yvette, he said, “James from the physicsb in Betrico invited you to attend the new energy conference there to witness this important moment personally. After all, without your involvement, this breakthrough wouldn’t have happened so quickly. James sincerely hopes you’ll consider this offer carefully.”


    Yvette pressed her lips together and looked up at Simon, her eyes calm. “No,” she replied.


    Simon paused slightly and thought, “Is she really turning down such a great opportunity? If it were anyone else, they would probably be ecstatic. This is an once-in-a-lifetime chance!


    But then, thinking about Yvette’s other identity, Cyanbird, he could somewhat understand.


    Simon thought, ‘If she were the kind to crave attention, just this one identity would have attracted many people to curry favor with her


    He picked up his coffee mug and took a sip. After contemting for a few seconds, he spoke again and his tone was even more earnest than before. “You know James has been working on this new energy project for many years. Your sudden involvement gave him a fresh direction, allowing it to bepleted sessfully in just a few months. You’ve made a major contribution. Are you going to give up this credit?”N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    Yvette tore open a bag of chips without lifting her head, her tone indifferent, showing no concern. “Yeah,” she hummed.


    Simon had already figured it out for he knew Yvette’s personality. “Is it troublesome for you?”


    Yvette raised her eyes to look at him, as calm as always. “Yes, I think it is troublesome.”


    Simon’s hand holding the cup of coffee paused. “I have guessed that is it. That’s why James raised another idea. You can go without showing your face. Your name should be included in the research results and you can use “S” as a-code name. Does that work?”


    Yvette leaned backzily and asked sofily, “Have you already agreed on this?”


    Simon nodded without hesitation. “Yes, James suggested this method. He sincerely hopes you will think about this suggestion carefully.”


    Yvette’s delicate eyebrows rose slightly, a hint of annoyance on her face.


    Afraid she might get upset, Simon quickly added. “James has no intention of pressuring you. If you don’t want to go to Betrico, then it’s fine and it’s your choice.”

    Yvette half-closed her eyes, a deep darkness in them, and the tension around her eased a bit. “Time and ce.”


    Simon jumped up excitedly to take out the invitation in the drawer and ced it in front of Yvette on her desk.

    “This is the invitation for theunch event. The time and ce are included. Do you need someone to meet you when you arrive in Betrico?” asked Simon.


    Yvette looked up, turning her head slightly towards Simon, her voice cool. “No, thanks”


    Simon nodded. “Alright.”


    Simon thought. Yvette was Mr. Chavez’s girlfriend. Once she got to Betrico, Mr. Chavez’s territory, there was no need for me to arrange any pickup service!


    Before leaving, Yvette paused at the doorway and gave Simon a half-smile. Her eyebrows were slightly raised and her voice was soft and slow. “Change the username as it doesn’t sound nice


    Simon was taken aback and his face flushed. Being denied by her was really embarrassing.


    Simon thought, ‘Change it to what?”


    He decided to leave this kind of thing for Tobias to think over. It was too challenging for someone with a science background like him.


    Simon coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment and thought, “Passing the buck to Tobias is just right; after all, nephews are meant for things like this, aren’t they?


    “That username was Tobias’s idea. I told him long ago not to use it, but he insisted. I’ll make him change it soon. Don’t worry,” said Simon.


    Yvette kept a neutral expression, gave a polite nod, and then left the Principal’s office.


    As she was leaving, she happened to run into Patrick, who was there to deliver something to Simon.


    Patrick intended to give Yvette the cold shoulder, trying to act superior, but she walked right past him without even ncing


    up.


    Patrick was so angry that he stomped his feet in frustration. But, he was unable to do anything about it.


    Passing students noticed it, took photos, and uploaded them to the forum, which caused teasing among the Apex Urban University students.


    Everyone was specting that Patrick might be mentally unstable.


    When Patrick saw the forum, he was enraged. He hated Yvette even more but couldn’t find any chance to get back at her, so he just fumed internally.


    In the physics ssroom, Bonnie was discussing a physics problem with John.


    Just then, a ssmate came in and told Bonnie that someone wanted to talk with her


    Not thinking much of it, Bonnie stepped out and saw Victor hanging around the door, looking around. “Here, here,” said


    Victor.


    Seeing Victor approach, Bonnie quickly stepped back, staying alert, and put on a guarded expression.


    Bonnie thought. Is Victor the person who wants to talk with me? As a fox saying Happy New Year to a hen, it is up to no good.”


    “What’s up? Were you the one wanting to talk with me?” asked Bonnie.


    In the hallway, people were passing by, asionally ncing at them.


    Passers-by thought, ‘How could they who have nothing inmon be chatting together?


    Victor was a famous figure at the school, so naturally, he attracted quite a bit of attention.


    Victor stared intently at Bonnie for what seemed like ages, making her so uneasy that it sent a chill down her spine.


    After a while, Victor bowed deeply right in front of all the students in the hallway, directing it straight at Bonnie.


    This gesture left everyone stunned, their jaws dropping in shock


    Even Bonnie was so frightened by Victor’s odd behavior that she stepped back twice.


    Victor lifted his head and spoke seriously to Bonnie, Tm sorry. Everything that happened yesterday was Winona’s fault. Please forgive the Carter family. I’ll do anything you order if you could just forgive us


    Bonnie looked at Victor, horrified, and blurted out, “Are you out of your mind? Winona was acting like a lunatic yesterday, causing trouble for me, and now you’re here apologizing to me? What are you two up to?”


    Victor’s gaze deepened, his fists clenched tight. He struggled with himself for a long time before he finally said. T’m really sorry, Bonnie. Please forgive the Carter family. Otherwise, should I get on my knees for you?”


    Once again, everyone in the hallway waspletely stunned and thought, ‘Is this the same Victor, the once invincible bully. who ruled the school? Is he really about to kneel to Bonnie? Are we dreaming?”


    The people in the hallway nced at each other, sharing the same doubt in their eyes.


    The long corridor was as silent as a grave.


    Victor saw Bonnie standing there without speaking and thought she truly wanted him to go through with it.
