The students around scuried off, but Krystal, still hopeful, clung to Nichole and said to the invigilator, “Sir, we are juniors, and we’re also preparing for postgraduate studies, so we wanted to take a look at this year’s exam paper to study it.”
The invigilator’s expression softened a bit at the sight of Nichole. After all, Nichole was a student sponsored by James, so the invigilator handed over the exam paper to her quite readily.
When Nichole saw the questions on the exam paper, she looked troubled.
“It’s a pity, Harold isn’t here.” Krystal lowered her head in disappointment, and then glanced at Nichole. Noticing her frowning, Krystal couldn’t help but ask, “Is everything okay?”
Nichole shook her head, “The questions this year are really tough. I’m not sure I can score well.”
But precisely because of this, Sophie definitely wouldn’t pass.
Nichole felt somewhat relieved, thankful that James had advised her not to sit for the exam this year. It turned out he already knew the questions were going to be difficult this year.

“I’m not going to write!” Harold’s magnetic voice broke the silence of the entire hall.
Sophie felt that the man in front of her didn’t quite match the domineering Harold she remembered, but soon she realized Harold was still seen as a prodigal son by everyone.

Who could have imagined that such a person would transform into a top–tier businessman capable of contending with James after few years of upheavals in the Aldridge family?

Sophie immediately lowered her head, cursing her luck that Harold’s exam seat was right next to hers today.
Until the end of the exam, Harold didn’t write a single word.
by the neck. “Hey!”
Sophie breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of what Harold did, at least her own performance was secure. Just as Sophie was stepping out of the exam hall, a strong force suddenly pulled her back Harold pinned Sophie against the wall, his eyes lazy yet piercing like an eagle’s, and his physique, likely due to working out, seemed exceptionally robust.
