At that moment, in the assembly room of New York High School. The principal and senior staff of New York High School are nervously watching Jeff, who is standing by the window of the assembly room.
Behind Jeff is Ethan.
People in New York only know that New York High School is the best high school in New York with a history of one hundred years. What most people don't know is that New York High School is also one of the properties of the Howard Group.
As a member of the Howard Group, Jeff is also the boss of New York High School behind the scenes. The boss came to the school with his assistant,
Kourtney turned to look at the person behind him. She knew this person, a classmate of Fiona's.Kourtney looked at the glove in his hand, then at the tweezers in his hand, then at the reagent bottles on the floor and felt the need to explain."If you're talking about the reagent bottles on the floor, I didn't knock them over. They were there when I came in, and I'm just picking them up now."This is a person who doesn't like to be misunderstood."Don't quibble, there's no one else here, just you,
Inside the lab, someone had already called the defense section.Seeing that the people from the defense section were about to come over, the chemistry teacher was anxious."Teacher Fiona, this matter, I suggest, wait until we find evidence. If we directly send the student over now, her reputation will be ruined."Fiona looked at Kourtney coldly.Seeing Kourtney's still calm face, she became even more irritated inside.What did Kourtney's ruined reputat
Fiona looked into Jeff's eyes and she found this man very scary.This assistant to the special assistant to the president of Howard Group had a powerful aura. She felt a little breathless and uncomfortable.It was just an assistant to a special assistant, how could he have such a majestic presence?Those eyes of his were very sharp, and in his eyes, all the ugliness and evil had nowhere to hide. Her heart was a bit flustered.She didn't dare to look into his eyes again and continued, "Now we can't prove it just wasn't her."
Fiona was annoyed inside. Instead of hurting Kourtney, she was being blamed for today's events.Nate stepped forward at this time and said, "Guys, excuse me. I was the one who accidentally touched these reagents earlier. And then Kourtney was just helping me organize it, but that student just happened to see it. It has nothing to do with her at all. I've just spoken to the school, I caused it, and I'm responsible for all the damages." He continued, "Classes will be starting soon. Please stop focusing on this matter. I've already asked the teachers to re-prepare the materials and equipment needed for class."Hearing his words, everyone was stunned. Was the truth really like that? Why had he been silent all this time only to suddenly admit that
Kourtney returned to the classroom and the original student with the stomach ache came up to her and looked at her apologetically."Kourtney, I'm sorry! I didn't realize it would turn out like this."The classmate had come to her for help after class, and Bella had walked out of the classroom just after class had ended. It was impossible to overhear their conversation by chance.If no one had planned, how could Bella have known that she would definitely go to the lab first and set a trap there early?If Jeff hadn't been there today, if he hadn't pressured that student, I'm afraid, she would still be under investigation in the security department.Kourtney glanced at the classmate and saw the slightly flustered look on her face and she understood everything. "Are you trying to say that everything is a coincidence? That it was a coincidence? You don't need to answer me, just go away."The classmate turned away in embarrassment.Bella didn't come to class until the end of the school day.
On the way back to her apartment, Kourtney kept staring at the wooden box in her hand.It took a long time before she finally opened the box.Inside were combs, jewelry, and other things that had gotten old.These were things that her mom used to use, but sadly, she was no longer around.She was about to put the box back together when she accidentally bumped into a board, and there was a space at the bottom.It was a few sheets of paper. Because they had been placed so little, those papers had already yellowed.Just as she was about to open the papers, her phone rang. It was Elijah's housekeeper calling."Butler, what's the matter?""Missy, please come back to Elijah's house."Kourtney asked, "What's wrong? Is something wrong with Grandpa?"The butler stammers, "You'd better come back."Hanging up the phone, Kourtney said, "I need to go back."Jeff was about to re-enter when his cell phone rang. An anxious voice came over the line, "There's been a landslide at the construction site on
Jeff drove, all the way to Elijah's house.He had someone check and the last place Kourtney's cell phone signal disappeared was at Elijah's house. So, she should still be here, which is where she disappeared.The security guard at the gate saw a stranger coming and asked loudly, "Who is it? Private homes are not to be entered without an invitation."Jeff walked up grimly and grabbed him by the collar, "Open the door!"The security guard was startled by Jeff, taking a closer look, wasn't this the man who came with Ms. Kourtney during the day? "This gentleman, did Miss Kourtney invite you here?""Yes, don't believe me, give her a call yourself?"Looking at the confident expression on the man's face, he stopped doubting and opened the door.The car drove on a little further and saw the building in front of him. He stopped. Opening the door, several bodyguards got out of the car and little Lucky jumped out. A couple of the buildings had no lights on at all, and it was pitch black. Scared,
Old Mrs. Elijah had been worried that Jeff's people would find Kourtney. however, she was relieved to see that they had searched for half a day and found nothing. She had a smug smile on her face.Old Mr. Elijah looked at her angrily. "Where the hell did you hide someone?""Where could I hide her?" old Mrs. Elijah said sarcastically, "I called her over and tried to teach her some rules, but she was very rude and didn't want to listen to me teach. And left.""You mean, she left?""Yep! She didn't want to see me as a grandmother at all. I didn't want to see her either. Where the hell she went, I don't know."Bella ran over and said, "I heard her arguing with Grandma, and then later she left."Kourtney was now being kept in the cellar. At this time, Grandma didn't want Jeff to find her. She has suffered so much over the years. She was going to get back at Kourtney hard. It was better that they never find her.Jeff said, "But you just said that you shut her down.""I forgot. I'm old. Bad
