Chapter 23
What was Marve doing there?
After a moment, the commotion at the doors alerted the invigilator who roared, “Where are all of you from? Don’t you know this is an examination hall? Leave right now!”
‘re third
All of the students began to leave except for Jenny, who stubbornly held onto Clara as she spoke to the invigilator, “We’re third–year students, sir. We’re preparing for our postgraduate exams too, so we’d like to study a copy of the exams from this year.
The invigilator’s expression softened at the sight of Clara.
”
After all, she was the student Sergio was helping. The invigilator gave her a copy of the exam without much hesitation.
Clara’s expression went slightly sour at the sight of the questions.
“What a pity! I didn’t see Sheldon anywhere,” Jenny said as she looked down dejectedly. She spotted Clara frowning deeply out of the corner of her eye and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
Clara shook her head. “These questions are really hard. I don’t even think I can guarantee good results.”
However, that also meant that Marve would definitely fail.
Clara felt a bit relieved that Sergio didn’t make her take the test that year.
It was because he already knew how difficult the questions would be.
She couldn’t help but feel rather happy at the thought of Sergio’s biased affections toward her.
As for Maeve, she was currently writing down her answers as if her life depended on it. She noticed that quite some time had passed when she suddenly heard a commotion outside the hall.
The doors swung open with a loud bang. Two bodyguards were escorting a man with hair dyed red into the hall.
He was forced onto one of the seats, and he was held down so tightly he couldn’t even move.
Maeve felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
If she remembered correctly, it was the second oldest son of the Hackett family, Sheldon.
She remembered Sheldon as a reckless, violent, but financially intelligent man from her past life. Before she died, Sheldon had even taken over his sick brother Levi’s place as the head of the Hackett family.
That meant he was definitely not to be underestimated.
“I’m not taking this exam!” he shouted loudly with his charming voice, immediately breaking the silence in the hall.
Maeve kept feeling as if the Sheldon in front of her and the Sheldon from her memories were pretty different, but she finally remembered that the Sheldon now was still the rich playboy everyone made him out to be.
Who would have ever imagined that Sheldon would end up becoming the heir of the Hackett family whose power and skill could go head–to–head with Sergio?
Maeve couldn’t help but stare at Sheldon a little bit longer with that in mind, and he just so happened to glance at her out of the corner of his eye.
Maeve immediately looked down. The most embarrassing part was that Sheldon’s seat was right next to her.
He remained unmoving until the exam finished.
Maeve let out a long sigh of relief. It didn’t matter how Sheldon did. Maeve knew she was definitely passing
Right as she was just about to step out of the hall, a powerful force suddenly tugged her by the back of her neck.
“Hey!”
Sheldon pressed Maeve against the wall. His sharp, piercing gaze was slightly tainted with a lazy ease, and his figure was pretty muscular, perhaps due to
constant exercise.
“I don’t know you,” Maeve said, purposely making herself sound calm.
She knew that a single punch from Sheldon would be enough to kill her and bring her back to life again.
“Why did you purposely fill in the last question wrongly on the exam?” Sheldon’s gaze seemed to be piercing through her.
Maeve’s breath hitched in her throat,
