Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 31 Ethan Got Into a Fight 

“Did you delete the post on the forum?” Layla woke up early in the morning and discovered that the post was gone, so she hurried to Ethan’s room to ask. 

Layla knew about Ethan’s account on the Taragon University Math Forum, but she couldn’t understand why Isabelle asked Ethan to post it, instead of creating an account. 

At this point, Layla still didn’t believe that Isabelle could solve the problem. 

Ethan replied. “Yes” 

“Why?” 

“Do I need a reason?” 

Seeing Ethan’s indifferent response and how close he was to Isabelle, Layla felt unsettled. 

Before. Ethan’s personality was indifferent towards everyone, which was acceptable. But what’s happening 

now? 

Even though she didn’t particularly like her younger brother, and didn’t want her classmates and friends to know that she had such a disabled brother, she just couldn’t stand Ethan ignoring her and prioritising Isabelle. 

Suppressing her displeasure, Layla asked. “Didn’t they say that solving the problem could guarantee admission to Taragon University? Has Isabelle been admitted?” 

“Indeed, she received private messages from the principal of Taragon University and James, but she doesn’t need it. She can get into Taragon University on her own.” Ethan said. He picked up his school bag. telling Layla who was blocking the door, I’m going to school.” 

Even James sent her a private message? 

Layla was always ambitious. While almost all the girls in the school liked the school’s top student, Mike, she was thinking about working hard to get into Taragon University to meet James the math genius. 

“She refused?!” Layla couldn’t believe it and stared with wide eyes, her voice becoming shrill. Intense jealousy twisted her heart so much it felt like it was being torn apart. 

You’re not lying, are you? This matter has caused such a big stir, how could the principal of Taragon University not come in person?” 

“It’s up to you to believe it or not.” Ethan slung his school bag over his shoulder and walked 

past Layla 

Layla gritted her teeth, the more she looked, the more she felt Ethan and the changed Isabelle were similar. 

Both were repulsive. 

Layla didn’t rush out the doog, but waited until everyone went to work and school, and when no one was at home, she started rummaging through Ethan’s desk full of books. 

She even opened the drawer and saw the new phone that Isabelle had bought for Ethan.

Layla picked up the phone, looking at the model that was even more beautiful than the advertisement. picture, and then thought about the old phone she bought two years ago for 12 

dollars that was already crashing. She wished she could crush the phone in her hand. 

Regaining her senses, she tried to unlock Ethan’s screen pattern. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

The first attempt was unsuccessful, but then she tried using the screen pattern from Ethan’s old phone and successfully unlocked the phone. 

Upon entering the forum, she first saw the thousands of private messages that were overflowing. The messages from those people calling Isabelle a “genius” made Layla’s eyes turn red with jealousy. 

She found the private message from the principal of Taragon University to Ethan. She read the generous conditions offered by the principal, including a house and a car, 

But all were rejected by Ethan with a single sentence. 

It was indeed as Ethan had said. 

She also found James’s message. When she saw James almost begging for five minutes of communication time. Layla’s hands started to shake, almost going crazy. 

But she held back, noticing one key point. Ethan had never revealed that the problem was solved by Isabelle. 

The principal of Taragon University and James didn’t even know whether this genius was male or female. 

So she started looking for the draft book again, her movements almost neurotic at this point. 

Finally, she found it under a math exercise book. 

Upon opening it, she indeed found the complete solution to the problem, a full six pages, exactly the same as the pictures Ethan had posted online. 

Layla was overjoyed, so excited that her breathing became heavy. 

She curled up the corners of her mouth, her eyes flashing with a crazed light. 

“Have you heard? The homeroom teacher and math teacher of Class 8 have resigned.” 

“Resigned? I heard that the teacher was fired. Even the teacher’s teaching certificate was revoked.” 

“Nonsense, fired and had the teaching certificate revoked just because they wrongly accused a student of cheating in an exam? Besides, it’s not even certain whether it was wrongful. Do you believe that Isabelle, an underprivileged student, could score higher than Mike?” 

“It’s not nonsense. My uncle works in the Education Bureau, he said the mayor put pressure on them. They have been holding meetings about the cheating incidentall day. There’s even insider information! Not only the teacher, my uncle said our principal is probably going to be in trouble too. 

“The mayor? You must be exaggerating. How could the mayor care about this? Do you think Isabelle is the mayor’s relative? Even if it’s his daughter, he wouldn’t do that.” 

“Maybe there is some connection. Otherwise, why you think Leonard would apologise in front of all

the teachers and students?” 

“You think the whole incident was just about a student being falsely accused of cheating during an exam? That day, Isabelle spent nearly an hour with all the school leaders in the principal’s office. Who knows what else might have happened? The police even showed up later. Do you really think it was just about cheating?” 

“Also, I heard from a few students that they saw Isabelle with a man in a suit who was incredibly handsome. They were talking about something. Maybe Isabelle has some sort of connections?” 

“Hmph! Just wait. This matter is far from over.” 

“Lucky me, I was standing in the hallway for punishment that day and saw the man you’re talking about. Honestly, even as a guy, I thought he was handsome. He had such a strong presence even from a distance.” 

“Really? What on earth happened in the principal’s office that day?” 

Mike was sitting at his desk, studying. 

With the college entrance examination approaching, the atmosphere had always been tense. However, the class had become unusually lively due to the incident involving Isabelle. 

Everyone was more interested in gossiping than studying. 

Listening to his classmates‘ heated discussions and various speculations, Mike thought of Timothy, whom he had bumped into outside the principal’s office that day. 

And the man in the suit who had sparked the girls‘ wild imaginations and curiosity. 

The incident remained the talk of the school for a few days, but as the excitement began to fade, everyone started to refocus on their studies. 

However, during the flag–raising ceremony on Monday morning, they were taken aback to discover that their principal had been replaced. 

The new principal, who had the appearance of a benevolent figure, was previously the vice principal of the Sixth Middle School and had now been transferred to their school as the principal. 

The entire school was once again buzzing with excitement. From the teachers and administrators to the security guards and cafeteria staff, everyone knew about Isabelle from Class 8. 

“Hey Ethan, is it true what they’re saying? Does your fat sister have influential connections?” 

“You’ve been dressing quite extravagantly lately, it seems like you even have a new phone, the latest and most expensive model. Did your family come into some money from a demolition project, or did your sister meet a wealthy man?” 

“Can you tell us? If your family is now well–off, can you afford to get your foot treated?” 

“I’ve seen him limping for many years, I suspect his muscles have atrophied. It’s probably incurable.” 

“Don’t say that. His sister doesn’t appear as overweight anymore. I saw her this morning, she has lost a significant amount of weight. She looks quite attractive when she’s slim. I bet she’ll become even more beautiful later.”

“No wonder she was able to meet someone rich and influential 

“Hey, something has happened. There’s a light among the second–year students” 

“Who? Who is fighting whom?” 

“I’m not sure. It seems like it started with an argument, then it became intense, resulting in bloodshed. Ambulances and police cars have arrived. 

“I heard that the instigator of the light is a top student. The one who got beaten up has some family connections, so this top student might be in serious trouble” 

“I’m not sure what was said to him, but he started throwing punches? 

“It’s a student from Class 1, right? The one who initiated the fight has a limp. I suppose the other guy made fun of his disability 

Isabelle, who had been resting with her eyes closed at her desk, opened her eyes abruptly. 

“It wasn’t just about his limp, they also made derogatory comments about his sister.” 

“It began as a one–on–one fight, but when the victim couldn’t defend himself, he called a few of his friends to join in and attack the other guy.”
