Nora

Chapter 153:.

In order to be a graduate student under Anti-and the first student she had accepted-Miss Luck had to be practically glowing.

Everyone’s gazes were fixed on the professor announcing the results, waiting for him to announce who the lucky one was.

For some reason, Angela couldn’t help but swallow. She turned her head to see that Lisa was also watching the professor nervously. Immediately, she scoffed, “Why are you looking at him? It’s never going to be you anyway!”.

Anti had always ignored some of the e-mails sent to him within the country. Besides, he was only accepting two operations a month. How many connections must the accepted candidate have had to avail himself of before he was finally accepted?

In the midst of Angela’s thoughts, the professor announced: “The student is Lisa Black!

A furor ran through all the candidates in the hallway, and they all looked at Lisa.

Angela also looked at her in disbelief, and her eyes gradually grew larger. Suddenly, she held Lisa by the wrist and asked, “How did you meet Anti?”.

Lisa shook her head, she was so astonished that she couldn’t even speak….

Angela was about to press the issue when someone ran up to Lisa and asked, “Miss Black, do you know Anti? How did you get her accepted as a graduate student?”

“My goodness, no wonder Director Shaw didn’t accept you. It was because Anti already had his eye on you.”

“Hello, Miss Black. My name is William Lewis. We’re in the same group of students this year. I hope we’ll get along well in the future.”

More and more people swirled toward Lisa. Even the staff member couldn’t help but approach and ask, “Miss Black, do you really know Anti? What does he look like?”

Every journey starts at gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․c𝗈𝗆

Lisa, “!”

Lisa, still reeling from shock, felt as if the whole thing had just fallen into her lap. It was as if she was in a dream where everything in front of her was unreal.

Everyone surrounded her, causing Angela to back up a few steps out of the circle.

Her face was about to contort in jealousy as she stood outside the crowd and stared at Lisa, who was inside.

How did this happen, how could this happen?

Why did Anti suddenly choose Lisa?

In the midst of her doubt, she heard a soft voice. “You’re Angela Smith, right?”

A stunned Angela turned and saw Tina standing behind her. Tina looked at her with a smile and said, “From now on you will be doing your graduate studies under my direction. Mm, okay, for now you are in charge of contacting the rest of the students. By the way, I have some forms to fill out. Come with me so you can take them and distribute them to the others later…”

Although Angela wanted to run to Lisa and have her tell her the whole story, she had no choice but to follow Tina for the time being. The two of them headed together to the office building.

Along the way, Tina ambiguously asked, “What is your relationship with Lisa Black?”

Angela clenched her fists. There was hatred in her eyes as she replied bitterly, “She’s my cousin.”

Tina smiled again. “Oh, in that case, what’s your relationship with Nora Smith?”

Angela became even more irritated at the thought of that woman. Hadn’t she already made an agreement with Principal Shaw to accept her as his student? Why was she suddenly rejected?

She lowered her head and answered vaguely, “She’s my older sister.”

“Your older sister?”

Tina looked at her in surprise. “Isn’t she Lisa’s older sister?”

Angela, looking a little irritated, blurted out, “We both have the last name Smith, so of course she’s my sister. Lisa’s last name is Black.”

Tina narrowed her eyes. Then she smiled and said, “Oh, it’s because of the admissions exercise this time…. Those who didn’t know that would have thought she was in fact Lisa’s older sister…”

At that moment, Tina covered her mouth with her hand, as if she had accidentally said something she shouldn’t have.

Angela, who had always been one to come up with all sorts of sneaky thoughts since she was a child, noticed her unusual behavior. She asked anxiously, “What do you mean by that, Miss York?”

Tina smiled and replied, “Oh, it’s nothing…”.

The more she refused to say anything, the more curious Angela became. She took a step forward, grabbed Tina’s arm and said, “Miss York, you can tell me directly if there’s anything you want to say!”.

Tina looked at her and let out a sigh. “Never mind. Since it looks like we’re going to get along…. How about this? Let’s go to the office together. I’ll tell you everything there little by little.”

In the office.

“Did you just say that Nora is able to contact Professor Anti?”

Angela’s voice was so high-pitched it almost sounded like it could pierce the ceiling. She looked at Tina in disbelief. “Is that really true, Miss York?”

Tina raised her eyebrows. “Well, I only saw them together once before…”

When Justin had gotten Anti to operate on Elderly Mrs. Hunt-though through what connections he’d managed to do so was unclear-Nora had also entered the operating room to study and observe the operation.

Even Tina had not been allowed in….

Later, when she realized that Justin was treating Nora a little differently, she had understood immediately: she must have pestered Justin to let her study Anti’s operation back then!

After all, Anti was a legend in the medical field. Very few had seen her during all these years.

Even when she spied on them the other time, she had only seen a few people from Anti’s team. She couldn’t tell which of them was the big boss….

Angela clenched her fists tightly as she listened to Tina’s ambiguous statement.

Seeing Angela’s threatening look, Tina lowered her gaze again and let out a sigh. She said, “I thought you were getting along with your older sister, but…. Well, it makes sense too. Not only did she not introduce you to Anti, but even Principal Shaw? I accepted you as a student because I felt sorry for you. Otherwise, you would have failed the admissions process!”

Angela’s eyes snapped open. “Principal Shaw, what does this have to do with him? Is it also because of him that Principal Shaw didn’t accept me as a student?”

Tina said nothing more, but merely looked at her with pity in her eyes.

Angela was shaking all over. Suddenly she screamed, “Nora Smith!”

She ran out of the classroom as she screamed her name.

Once outside, she burst into tears and immediately called her parents in California.

Henry and Wendy answered the call together. A tearful Angela told them that not only did Nora introduce Anti to Lisa, but she even prevented Principal Shaw from accepting her as his student. They were both filled with anger when they heard what she said.

Wendy sighed and said, “That’s too much of Nora…. No matter what Angela is still her younger sister!”.

Henry slammed the table and said, “I’m going to book a plane ticket right now! We’ll go and make a fuss tonight! What a nasty daughter! I’m not going to rest until I make her give me a nice sum of money this time!”.noveldrama

Wendy sighed again. “Is it any use your going, Henry? What if Nora ignores us? She’s always resented us, Geez!”

Henry scoffed, “It’ll work! It has to work! I’m her father! If she abandons me, I’ll sue her! And the Andersons too! We’ll see which one of them is willing to put themselves on the spot.”

At the same time, Nora’s cell phone rang and she took the call from Lily, who was far away in a foreign country.
