《You Picked the Wrong Woman》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 10 章

The hallway fell deathly silent.Then, a roar of laughter erupted, loud enough to shake the walls."Gordon Grant? That's the former president of Kingsfield University you’re referring to. Has this delinquent girl lost her mind?"Dominic looked at me with undisguised contempt, as if I were a piece of trash. He let out a mocking scoff."Selene, not only are you some low-class woman who sells herself, but you're delusional as well. Mr. Grant is a busy man. Who do you think you are, some sewer rat from the bottom of society, to address him so familiarly?"The condescending look in his eyes only confirmed how blind and foolish he truly was.I couldn't even be bothered to spare him a glance. Instead, I fixed my gaze on Chloe."That so-called recommendation form you're holding doesn't even have Kingsfield University's official anti-counterfeiting seal. Yet, a student who can't even solve a basic parabola problem has the nerve to brag about a guaranteed admission offer in public? Please

When Gordon saw me covered in blood and noticed the unnatural angle of my right knee, he looked absolutely horrified.His legs nearly gave out beneath him. He cast aside all his dignity as he practically stumbled and crawled down the hallway toward me.The still completely oblivious Lucas rushed forward to claim credit. He even pointed at me and grinned ingratiatingly."Mr. Grant, what brings you here personally? Don't worry. I've already detained this little delinquent who offended Ms. Lynn. She actually dared to impersonate someone from Kingsfield University. I'll have the security guards cripple her right now to entertain you.""Don't you dare!" Gordon's eyes nearly burst from their sockets with rage. He sprang to his feet and swung with all his strength.The slap landed squarely across Lucas' face.The force was so tremendous that Lucas' 200-pound body was sent flying. He slammed into the wall, blood and broken front teeth spraying across the floor.The hallway fell silent i

My right knee was ultimately diagnosed with a severe fracture, so I was required to undergo a month of hospitalization and bed rest.Gordon canceled every meeting on his schedule and personally escorted me to the best private hospital in Riverton. He stood beside my bed like a schoolboy who had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar."Ms. Shaw, I promise I'll conduct a full investigation of Riverton High from top to bottom. I won't let a single rotten apple slip through the cracks."His head hung low, and guilt was written all over his face.I leaned against the hospital bed and waved a hand in dismissal. "Go on, then. Pretty words are just that, words. I want to see results. Remember, if the academia is filled with rot, the foundation of the nation will be affected as well."His eyes reddened as he nodded firmly before leaving the room.…The third day of my hospitalization was greeted with a heavy rainstorm.The head nurse entered my room, hesitating as if she wasn't sur

After my leg was fully recovered, I returned to the laboratory at Kingsfield University.The reagent bottles, stacks of data reports, and quiet academic atmosphere were the only places where I truly felt at peace.The noise of the outside world had nothing to do with me. The only thing I cared about was how far Aldoria's scientific research could go in the future.I had another late night in the middle of autumn. It was already 2 a.m. by the time I finished the last round of experiments and left the building.The Kingsfield University campus was almost completely silent, with only the streetlights casting their dim yellow glow across the grounds.As I passed a bench by an unnamed lake, I noticed a familiar figure studying beneath the faint light.It was Oliver.Due to the changing seasons, the weather in Riverton had already turned chilly. Yet, he wore only a thin jacket as he shivered from the chill.Beside him sat half of a stale bread roll and a bottle of the cheapest bottle

A crisp breeze swept through the tree-lined avenues of Kingsfield University as the new school year began right on schedule.I stood before the university's grand white marble gates, watching groups of freshmen wheel their suitcases onto campus, their faces bright with hope for the future."Ms. Shaw!" A clear voice called out.Oliver came running toward me, dressed in a brand-new white shirt and pulling a simple suitcase behind him. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, but the shadows that had once lingered in his features were completely gone. He had grown into himself over the past year and now radiated a confidence as bright as the sun itself.Once he was before me, he bowed deeply and respectfully. "Ms. Shaw, I kept my promise. I'm here."I smiled and pulled a key with a metal identification tag from my pocket. Then, I held it out to him. "This is the key card to the country's top physics research laboratory."I watched as a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes and
