Chapter 274


    Stunned by the look Elise was giving her, Janice was frightened and quickly said, “I’ll go out with you.”


    The two of them walked out until they reached the end of the hallway. Elise stopped and didn’t beat


    around the bush but simply said outright, “You were the one who locked me in the toilet yesterday,


    right?” When Janice heard this, her expression changed at once. However, she refused to admit it. “I


    don’t understand what you’re talking about. I didn’t do such a thing. Elise sneered, “It’s fine if you don’t


    admit it. We all know what’s going on here.


    I heard that there’s a surveince camera in the corridor of the conference room, so it must’ve caught


    something! Why don’t I go to the counselor right now and ask him to help me check it out? We’ll know


    what actually happened then, won’t we?” Janice staggered and almost fell as she stammered, “Y-


    You…” After a while, she still didn’t manage aplete sentence. Moreover, because of how nervous


    she was, sweat beaded her forehead, and she immediately said, “I-I admit. I did it. I… just wanted to


    teach you a lesson. I didn’t intend to do anything else to you.


    Besides, aren’t you standing here now?” Elise crossed her arms across her chest, her expression cold.


    “So, you admit it!” Then, she pulled out her phone, which showed that a recording was ongoing.


    Janice’s face paled upon that sight. “You… you…” Elise pressed the stop button and saved the


    recording. “Actually, there’s no surveince cameras in the hallway. I was just saying that to get you to


    confess. But, I guess I have evidence now…” Janice subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab the


    phone. “Give it to me.” However, Elise was quicker than her and moved the phone away. “Janice, I


    originally thought that you were just a spoiled child and not evil. But, now, I have to revisit my


    impression of you.”


    “Elise, what do you want?” “Nothing. I just want to let you know that I now have something to use


    against you. If you make any moves in the future, I’ll expose the recording to the public.” “Don’t you


    dare!” Elise wasn’t afraid. “You can try!” When Janice realized that Elise wasn’t kidding, she pursed her


    lips, then finally said, “I won’t do anything anymore. Would you please delete the recording?” Elise was


    amenable to persuasion and not force, but she knew that if she deleted the recording, Janice might do


    something even worse next time, so she still needed something to suppress her. “I won’t delete the


    recording for now. It all depends on you. If you behave well, it’ll never see the light of day.


    Of course, if something happens next time—” Before Elise could finish, Janice immediately interrupted,


    “There won’t be a next time. I promise. Please don’t publish the recording.” Seeing as Janice was


    frightened of her, Elise stopped and didn’t go further. “All right. It’s a deal.” With that, Elise turned and


    left a dejected Janice, who felt helpless but had no other choice. Now that Elise had something to use


    against her, this was all she could do. After handling Janice, Elise was relieved. At least for a short


    period of time, Janice would stop with her antics.


    Then, Elise took out her phone and sent a message to Alexander. ’It’s settled. Don’t worry.’ Not long


    after, Alexander’s reply came. ‘Okay!’ When Elise saw his message, a small smile appeared on her


    face. Then, she ced the phone back in her pocket. … Meanwhile, after Professor Merlin was done


    studying Elise’s calctions in his office, he eximed, “Genius! What a genius! She’s really a rare


    genius, a miracle to the world of mathematics!”


    All of Elise’s calctions were clear and justified, and her answers werepletely correct. ording


    to Elise, this was the first time she calcted it, and she had yet to double-check it. Professor Walter


    came in carrying a cup of water and saw how excited Professor Merlin was, so he teased, “Merlin,


    you’re old, but you’re still as fidgety as a young man.” Professor Merlin looked up at him and said,


    “Professor Walter, don’t be so quick to judge me. If you look at these few sheets of paper, you’ll be as


    excited as I am.” Professor Walter looked disdained. “As if!”


    “I’m serious! You shoulde and take a look.” Professor Walter walked over, feeling a little


    suspicious. “What are you ying at? You’re being so mysterious.” Professor Merlin simplyughed


    and spread out the sheets of paper. Professor Walter wanted to reach for it, but Professor Merlin


    pped his hand away. “Don’t touch it. What if you destroy it?” “It’s not that I want to criticize you, but


    what is it that you find so precious! You said you want to show it to me, but you’re not letting me hold it.


    How am I supposed to look at it, then?” “You can just take a look from here.” Professor Walter grunted


    coldly. Although he was somewhat upset, he understood the nature of the old man.


    However, when he saw what was on the paper, he was truly shocked. “T-This…” Looking pleased,


    Professor Merlin exined, “My student just gave this to me. These are her calctions. I’ve looked it


    over. Her answers and the steps are correct.” When he heard this, Professor Walter was no longer


    calm. “What are you talking about? She figured it out? How is this possible…” Having said that,


    Professor Walter couldn’t help but turn his gaze to the papers again. As he studied it, his eyes were


    filled with incredulity. “H-How is this possible! She actually figured it out…” It was worth noting that this


    question had left many mathematics schrs and professors helpless. After studying it for a long time,


    they still couldn’t solve it.

    And yet, a young girl solved it so easily. It was somewhat difficult to ept. The more Professor Walter


    looked through the calctions, the more serious his expression became. After he was done, he


    experienced the same emotions as Professor Merlin did. “Genius! She’s a genius!” Professor Walter


    immediately asked, “How long did it take her?” Professor Merlin answered, “ording to my


    calctions, it should be three days.


    But, strictly speaking, it shouldn’t be that long.” Professor Walter was so shocked that he was at a loss


    for words. Many great mathematicians were defeated by this question, but Elise used less than three


    days to solve it. Her calctions and answers were even correct. It was a little hard for them, who had


    been involved in the world of mathematics for years, to ept.


    “We must report this immediately! Save these papers and apply for a patent for Elise! She’s the only


    person in the country who has solved this problem. If news of this gets out, it would definitely cause a


    greatmotion, so this must be carried out quietly…”
