Chapter 969 Bad Student

The charity gala was held in the auditorium which was spacious enough to easily accommodate all students on campus.

Marcus was personally hosting the event, and students began entering the auditorium in an orderly manner according to their courses.

Arielle had just returned to the library’s archive at the time.

There weren’t many files left to go through, but Arielle still couldn’t replace the one belonging to the man in the photograph with her mother after scanning through all the files on the lecturers’ background information.

What’s going on? Why can’t I replace his file?

Right as she felt lost, a phone call came in with Josiah’s name on the caller ID.

Josiah was the main reason Arielle had participated in the international chess tournament. As he was very close with her mother, he had also seen that man before.

Arielle was surprised to see him calling and quickly answered the phone. “Hello, Mr. Doyle!”

“I remember now, Ms. Moore!” Josiah exclaimed excitedly on the other line.

Arielle felt her heart skip a beat when she heard that. “What do you remember?”

“That man you asked me about. I remember what he was doing in Jadeborough University! He was a professor sent from Maxwell University to give a seminar.”

Arielle’s eyes lit up instantly. “Maxwell University?”

“Yes. I’m sure you’ll replace some clues about him if you head over to Maxwell University.”

“Understood, thank you so much! You’ve been a great help!”

“Oh, it was nothing! I was attending a seminar on chess today and just happened to recall this detail. I’m sorry it didn’t come to mind sooner.”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s not too late now.”

“I’ll leave you to it, then.”

“Okay, I’ll treat you to a meal someday!”

“Instead of a meal, we should play some chess instead. I’ve improved a lot lately!”

“Sure thing!” Arielle then ended the call with Josiah after a couple more exchanges.

“Maxwell University, huh…”

That was when Arielle finally understood why she couldn’t replace that man’s files in the archive.

Of course… He isn’t a lecturer here at Jadeborough University, to begin with! Maxwell University just sent him here to give a seminar! Looks like I’ll have to make another trip to Maxwell University, then!

Meanwhile, Trisha had been waiting for Arielle at the entrance of the auditorium. She tried giving Arielle a call, only to see that Arielle’s line was engaged at the time.

“Why are you standing out here, Trisha? The event is about to start,” Donovan asked with a frown when he noticed Trisha in the back.

“Arielle isn’t here yet. I’m waiting for her over here so she can easily see where our classmates are seated,” Trisha explained.

Donovan’s frown deepened when he heard her mention Arielle.

“No need to wait for her. You should head on inside.”

As his tone was stern, Trisha could only bite down on her lip and do as told.

She had only taken a few steps when Donovan called out to her again, “Hold on, Trisha!”

Trisha stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion.

“What is it, Mr. Baxter?”

Donovan stepped forward and said solemnly, “There’s something I need to remind you of.”

“Please, go ahead.”

“You got a sixth place in this exam. Thing is, you only scored a few points lower than the five students before you. I believe Arielle is the one who cost you those few points. Being friends with a student who skips class that often will only lead you down the wrong path. I think you should stay away from bad students who skip classes and cheat on exams.”
