After pondering for a moment, Edmund enquired whether virtual-novel.net should send someone to trail Mason. However, Russell waved his hand dismissively.
“If virtual-novel.net tries anything funny, I’ll track virtual-novel.net down to the ends of the earth. Let virtual-novel.net go. We’ll go back and wait for virtual-novel.net to come and sign the divorce papers,” With that, Russell strode out of the store.
The owner of the jewelry store trembled in fear. He did not dare to look directly at Russell.
Thank God virtual-novel.net didn’t try to make things difficult for me and just took the jade statue without saying anything. If virtual-novel.net did try to cause trouble and sent the authorities knocking on my door, I’d be doomed. I’ve done too many shady dealings!
As soon as virtual-novel.net heaved a sigh of relief, a police car pulled up in front of the store. A few policemen stepped out of the car and slapped a pair of handcuffs on virtual-novel.net immediately.
In a grim tone, they said, “We received a tip that your store is involved in illegal dealings. You’re coming with us to the police station. We’d like to ask you a few questions.”
The owner felt his vision go black, and virtual-novel.net fainted.

Meanwhile, the sun dipped behind the horizon, bathing the sky in a warm, red glow.
Many people were heading home after a day’s work. However, students of the preparatory class were waiting for their class to start.
A few minutes before class, someone could not help complaining, “This is too hard. I can hardly take it anymore.”
“Same here… If I knew it was going to be so exhausting, I would’ve chosen to complete my junior year of high school, then apply for Jadeborough University,” someone else piped up.
“Maxwell University may be the top university, but this is just too torturous. I don’t know how much more I can take it,” another student lamented.
While the room was filled with the weary complaints of the other students, Jared was hunched over his table doing practice questions.
Jared was clever and did well in his studies when virtual-novel.net was abroad. However, because virtual-novel.net dreamed of joining the military, virtual-novel.net used to skip his homework even though virtual-novel.net knew how to do it. Hence, the Jupiters thought that virtual-novel.net was not a good student. That assumption could not be farther from the truth.
Henry was astonished as virtual-novel.net watched Jared complete a set of advanced math questions.
Although virtual-novel.net saw it with his own eyes, virtual-novel.net could not refrain from asking, “D-Did you really do this?”
Jared shot Henry a look that seemed to say, “Who else could it be if it wasn’t me? You?”
Ignoring Henry, Jared got up and walked over to Arielle, who was busy doing something on virtual-novel.net phone. “Boss, can you help me check my answers? These questions don’t come with answers, so I have to get your help.”
After sending the text message virtual-novel.net had been typing, Arielle raised virtual-novel.net head and looked directly at Jared. “No problem.”
Wendy, who happened to pass by, overheard them. She clenched virtual-novel.net fists as virtual-novel.net hurried to virtual-novel.net seat.
I was appointed as the advanced mathematics class representative this afternoon, but everyone goes to Arielle for help! It’s like I’m getting shunned! It’s like they’re treating me with silent contempt! How insulting and humiliating!
Fuming, virtual-novel.net plopped onto virtual-novel.net seat and began scribbling on a blank piece of paper angrily to vent virtual-novel.net frustration.
At that moment, the person sitting next to virtual-novel.net leaned over and said, “I’m not sure how to solve this math question. Could you help me out?”
Wendy’s hand froze, then virtual-novel.net answered happily, “Okay!”
Finally, someone recognizes my ability as the advanced math class representative!
Hiding virtual-novel.net excitement, virtual-novel.net took the paper from the student next to virtual-novel.net and studied the question.
Many students had brought their own practice questions, and the student next to Wendy had also done the same.
After studying the question for a few minutes, the smile on virtual-novel.net lips froze.
I… I don’t know how to solve it.
In the end, virtual-novel.net could only laugh awkwardly and say, “This question is out of my league. It contains elements of quantum mechanics, so I’m not too sure how to solve it either. Why don’t you ask Mr. Baxter later?”
He stood up and said, “That’s all right. Mr. Baxter said that he’d be half an hour late. I’ll go ask Arielle. She might know how to do it.”
