Chapter 1164 Rumors
Nicole lowered her head and stared at the key in her hand as she thought, It looks like I will have to
return to the science academy again tonight and sneak into the basement to check if there are any
voodoo bugs conveniently avable over there.
Meanwhile, Nathan seemed to have noticed Nicole''s slightly absent-minded state throughout the meal.
Therefore, he didn''t ask Nicole to stick around any longer than she had to. As a result, Nicole left as
soon as dinner was over.
Nicole returned to the science academy after she left Nathan''s house. Since it was already ratherte,
there were very few people milling about in the science academy. Fortunately for her, it was precisely
because of this factor that she managed to sneak into the building and arrive at the basement door
sessfully without being thwarted once.
The situation in the basement was even more deste than the lobby which was only to be expected
after she learned about its existence. So, Nicole didn''t waste her time as she poked through the
keyhole with the key and discovered that it was a perfect match. Then, she opened the door and
walked in as silently as she could. It was rtively dark as it was, after all, a basement, but as she was
unfamiliar with her surroundings, she wasn''t sure if the basement was unupied despite its dim
interior. Thus, she dared not risk switching on the light. As a result, she had no choice but to brave the
unknown as darkness crowded her steps.

Nicole walked further into the basement cautiously with light steps. Even though there were plenty of
rooms in the science academy''s basement, all the rooms were clearlybeled. Hence, she could
roughly guess the function of each room based on thebels. Since the doors of these rooms weren''t
closed, she could enter each area effortlessly with a slight push. However, as she continued to walk
further into the basement, she found that the innermost rooms were locked.
Nicole pushed the door hard a few times but soon realized that she couldn''t open it when the door
didn''t budge under her fingers. At that point, she had a hunch that the thing she was looking for was
right in this room. So, Nicole quickly unlocked her phone, tapped on the shlight function, and began
to study the lock. After a few minutes, she discovered that this room was heavily looked upon closer
inspection, for not only was its door made of iron, but it was also secured with abination lock and a
key. Judging by the double protection for this very door, she was nowpletely certain that inside this
room was where those dastardly voodoo bugs were cultivated.
Although she had sessfully located the ces she was searching high and low for, her progress
was forced to a halt due to the heavy security. Therefore, she had no choice but to turn back as she
couldn''t find a way to open the door on short notice.
I probably have to obtain the password for thebination lock and the key if I want to get into the
room and find the voodoo bugs, Nicole thought as she stared at the iron door. After a while, she turned
around and left.
The next day, the news of Nicole being a sugar baby swiftly became a trending headline. Intimate
photos between Nicole and Nathan were everywhere on the trending search. Not only were they
spotted leaving the science academy together, but they were also seen returning to Nathan''s home
together.
The entire medicalmunity was shocked as soon as this news came out. After all, Nathan and his
wife had supported each other for years and were known to be a great example of a perfect marriage
couple amongst the doctors in the medicalmunity. Hence, the wholemunity was in disbelief
that Nathan would cheat on his wife, let alone have an affair with a woman about the same age as his
daughter.
However, coupled with Nicole''s sudden entry to the science academy the day before, everyone couldn''t
help but start making spections.
''No way! A May-December rtionship!? How can he make advances to such a young woman?''
''Didn''t Nicole get dismissed by the science academy the day before yesterday? Yet, she still managed
to get in. Who else has such great authority in the science academy other than Nathan? Tsk, tsk, tsk…
To think that Nathan would lose all sense of proprietary for the sake of his mistress…''
''Oh, that''s right! Yesterday, I heard someone say that Nicole managed to get into the science academy
with the help of a letter of rmendation. It looks like there certainly is something fishy going on.''
''Well, the two were spotted entering a room together, weren''t they? No one will believe a word you said
if you tell them nothing suspicious is going on between these two.''
''How disgusting! What is Nicole thinking?! Why does she think it''s actually okay to be someone else''s
mistress at such a young age?!''
Everyone made harsh remarks toward Nicole after the news broke out.
As for Nicole, she only learned about this news through Nathan''s phone call.
"Nicole, have you seen the news on the Inte?" Nathan asked, sounding panicked.
"News? What news?" Nicole returned the question with one of her own, looking puzzled.
Nathan stretched out his hand and pinched his nose upon hearing her bewilderment. Then, he
borated in a low voice, "You will know what news I''m talking about by searching the Inte.
Currently, there are rumors saying that I-I…" Nathan couldn''t bring himself to finish his sentence at all
as he felt ashamed of the words he was about to say.
Nicole immediately whisked out her phone, searched the Inte, and only then did she see the
scandalous rumors about her rtionship with Nathan. As she skimmed throughizens''ments
on the Inte, she finally understood why Nathan''s voice sounded a little gloomy just now. So, this is
why!
"Don''t get upset, Mr. Zeller, I will rify this matter as soon as possible," Nicoleforted him.
