Chapter 273

As soon as she spoke, she heard the sound of footsteps fading away. “Stop. Who are you? Hurry upand open the door…” Janice ignored her. Not only did she not open the door for her, she even lockedthe door of the entire restroom. Elise quickly took out her phone but found that the phone signal wasweak. She wanted to make a call but couldn’t. All she could do was sit on the toilet and calm herselfdown. Forget it. I didn’t really want to participate in the rehearsal anyway. It’s not a bad thing to belocked up here. She took out her exercise book containing Professor Merlin’s question then began tosolve it again.

When Janice went back to the conference room, no one noticed anything unusual. After a while,someone suddenly said, “Since we’re almost familiar with the script, we should try rehearsing it.” “Ithink so too.” “By the way, where’s the female lead? Where did she go?” Everyone began to look forElise in the conference room, but they didn’t manage to replace her. At this moment, someone said, “Elisewent to the restroom. She’ll be back in a moment.” Then, Janice immediately spoke up. “Elise said thatshe’s not feeling well. She has already asked me for the day off and will not be joining rehearsal today.

Let’s not worry about her first. We can go back and rest after we’ve roughly rehearsed.” Upon hearingthis, everyone began to rehearse without any objections. Meanwhile, in the restroom, Elise had buriedherself in the question and was completely immersed in it. Minutes passed and night came, but Elisewasn’t aware of it. She found that although she was trapped in the restroom, her inspiration wasflowing like a water fountain. She couldn’t stop, and when she finished writing the steps to solve theproblem on several pages, she finally got the answer.

Elise stopped and looked at the time, only to replace that it was already 11:00PM. Her stomach wasgrowling from hunger. She also found it strange that hours had passed, yet not a single student hadcome to the restroom. Elise tried her phone again, and this time, her call finally got through. She heardAlexander’s voice coming from the other end of the phone. “Hello, Elise?” Half an hour later, Alexander

hurried over and rescued Elise. At this moment, he didn’t look to be in a good mood, but he patientlyasked, “What happened?” Elise pursed her lips and answered, “I don’t know who did it, but someonelocked me in.”

Before she finished her story, Alexander interrupted her, “Then, why didn’t you call me earlier?” Eliseimmediately replied, “At that time, I was just thinking of completing this question, so I delayed a little.” Itwas only then that Alexander noticed the book in her hand, which was densely filled with handwrittenmathematical symbols, then he sighed helplessly. “You were in such a situation, yet you were still in themood to solve a math question.

Just how strong willed are you?” Not wanting to talk about this anymore, Elise looked pitifully at him.“I’m so hungry. Shall we go have dinner?” Alexander helplessly reached out and rubbed her head.“Let’s go! I’ll bring you somewhere for a good meal.” It was nearing 12:00AM, so the school’s cafeteriawas closed. In the end, Alexander called a restaurant to have their meals prepared and delivered to theschool. Holding her meal box, Elise sat on the long porch of the school pavilion and ate huge spoonfulsof her food, looking completely unladylike. “Eat slowly.

No one’s going to steal your food.” Elise chuckled sheepishly. “I’m hungry…” Having said that, she stillslowed down the pace. Seeing that she was almost done with her food, Alexander continued, “Now,can you tell me what’s going on?” Elise already had her suspicions, but she wasn’t sure of her ownguess, so she said, “I’ll handle this matter. I think one of my classmates accidentally locked me fromthe outside.” However, Alexander’s brows furrowed tightly. “Are you sure it was an accident?” Elisemurmured assent and explained, “Without conclusive evidence, I can only assume that she did it ‘onaccident’.

But, I’ll get to the bottom of this. Whoever it is, I’ll give them a taste of their own medicine.” Seeing asshe had said this, Alexander let out a helpless sigh. “As your fiancé and your future husband, it’s quitetroubling to not be needed by you sometimes.” Elise stopped what she was doing and immediately

said, “I didn’t mean it that way. It’s just a small matter, so I can handle it. Besides, who said I don’t needyou! I need you more than anyone else.”

When Alexander saw how panicked she was, he quickly hugged her. “Okay, okay. I was just kidding.You can take care of this matter first. If you can’t handle it, then tell me.” Elise nodded. “Okay.” By thetime Elise finished eating, it was almost 1:00AM. Fortunately, there was no curfew at Tissote University,so Elise returned to the dormitory. The next morning, when Addison saw Elise, who had appeared outof nowhere, she was surprised. “Elise… when did you come back?”

Elise explained, “I came back a little late, so I didn’t wake you up.” Addison replied, “Wow, you have somuch motivation to stay in the library every day. When can I have your motivation?” Having packed upher books, Elise got up. “Let’s go to class. The first lesson is Professor Merlin’s lesson.” Elise andAddison went to the classroom, where Janice was chatting with her classmates. When she saw thatElise had arrived, the smile on her face instantly stiffened. The student she was talking to greetedElise, “Good morning, Elise!” Elise replied with a smile, “Good morning.”

The student continued, “I heard that you were unwell yesterday. Are you feeling better today?” Withoutthe slightest change in her expression, Elise said, “I’m fine! Who told you I wasn’t feeling well?” “Didn’tJanice say that you weren’t feeling well, so you left the rehearsal earlier?” Upon hearing her name,Elise looked up at Janice. The meaning behind her gaze was evident. Janice felt a little guilty beingstared at like that, so she mustered her courage and said, “I saw that you never came back torehearse, so I thought that you were unwell and went back to rest…” Elise murmured an ‘oh’, butdeliberately dragged the sound.

Then, she moved forward and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear. “Are you surethere’s nothing else? Or that you didn’t do anything else?” At the mention of this, Janice’s heart skippeda beat, but she said, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. It’s almost time for class…” Withthat, she returned to her seat. Elise didn’t expose her, but already had a gist of the situation. Professor

Merlin walked into the classroom with a smile and saw Elise at once. Taking advantage of the fewminutes before class started, he walked toward Elise. “How did it go?

Any success on the question I gave you last time?” Elise replied, “I’ve solved the question, but I havenot double-checked the calculations yet. I’ll run through it again and show it to you.” To her surprise,Professor Merlin’s expression changed immediately. “What did you say? You’ve solved it?” His pitchwas a little high, attracting the gaze of many of the students around him. Professor Merlin realized thathe was too excited and hurriedly calmed himself down. “Show me what you calculated. What’s theanswer?” Surprised by Professor Merlin’s reaction, Elise said truthfully, “I managed to get two answers.

One over two times the square root of three, and one.” When Professor Merlin heard this, he didn’tcare about anything else anymore, and he found that his hands were trembling. “Hurry! Hurry! Showme!” Elise handed over the several pages of calculations. Professor Merlin carefully studied it, showingno interest in teaching whatsoever. “Everyone, use this lesson to study on your own! I have somematters to attend to…” After that, Professor Merlin took the few pieces of paper and went straight to hisoffice, leaving the group of students looking at each other.

No one knew what was going on. Addison stepped forward and asked, “Elise, what’s going on withProfessor Merlin? Why isn’t he carrying on with the lesson?” Elise splayed out her hands. “I don’tknow!” “Okay, it’s good that Professor Merlin isn’t teaching too. I can go back to the dormitory and getsome sleep. Are you going to the library again?” Elise replied, “No. There’s something I need to dealwith.” With that, Elise got up and walked toward Janice.

“Janice, can I speak with you? Let’s head out for a while.” Janice’s heart was thumping. It was her firsttime performing such an act, so she obviously had no experience and feared that Elise would settle thescore with her. “If you need to speak with me, you can just do it here.” Elise stared into her eyes andasked, “Are you sure you want me to say it here?”
