Chapter 1897: The Research Institute Was Stunned
The practical exam will take place the day after the first-round theory exam, giving participants time to rest and the institute time to prepare.
So more people stay back to see if they’ve made it to the second round and to check their scores.
It’s not for starting the second round immediately.
"Alright." Zevaney Kingsley’s face softened slightly, but she still looked rather heavyhearted overall.
*
Because the second-round exam is scheduled for tomorrow.
After viewing her scores, Nathalie Quinlan went back first with Sadam Vinson and the others.
As soon as she reached her accommodation, she received a phone call from Kenzie Nabours.
Nathalie got out of the car, grabbed her bag, and answered with one hand: "Mr. Nabours."
She had become familiar with Kenzie Nabours during this time and started calling him Uncle, as she referred to Marcella Davidson as Aunt.
"I heard you passed the first-round exam? And got a perfect score?" The male voice on the phone brimmed with joy, clearly pleased for her.
Nathalie entered her place, notified Sadam Vinson and the others, then headed upstairs with her bag.
As she climbed the stairs, she casually replied to Kenzie Nabours: "Yeah, just lucky."
"It’s not just luck that can achieve that."
Since Marcella Davidson had come from The First Research Institute, Kenzie Nabours knew how challenging the assessments there were.
So he didn’t really buy the luck explanation.
Still, he chuckled and didn’t argue about whether it was luck, instead saying: "Earlier, someone from the institute called me to inquire about you. I didn’t say much, just mentioned you study at Tsinghua University."
Nathalie had already returned to her room, casually drew open the curtains, allowing sunlight to stream in brightly through the glass windows.
Back at her desk, she sat down on the chair and replied to Kenzie Nabours: "It’s okay if you tell them. They’ll eventually find out why I came to Inderia."
"That’s true." Kenzie agreed, after a moment of reflection saying, "Next time they call, I’ll just tell it like it is."
Nathalie’s eyes held a restrained boldness, and she lightly responded with a nasal tone, "Okay, just tell them the truth."
Then Kenzie told her that her score had shocked the institute’s staff.
Instead of being interested, Nathalie inquired about Marcella Davidson’s health.
Knowing that Marcella had been doing well and that her health indicators were steadily recovering, she discussed the medication with Kenzie and then ended the call.
Just after Nathalie hung up with Kenzie Nabours, another call came in from an unfamiliar number.
Her slender fingers held the phone, half-closing her eyes to glance at the Inderian number showing on the screen.
She waited a full five seconds before lazily answering, "Hello?"
The voice on the other end paused briefly, seeming to just realize, before hastily speaking: "Hello, Ms. Quinlan, I’m James Lawrence who texted you earlier. Did you see my text? It’s like this: the Kingsleys Family wants you to return. What do you think..."
Nathalie didn’t wait for him to finish, coldly pulled the phone away, and hung up directly, blocking the number completely.
Then she tossed the phone on the desk, picked up the hard shell notebook Marcella Davidson had given her, and turned to a question Amadeus Yancey had explained to her yesterday, reviewing it again.
