Eric Anderson was totally dumbstruck, and Mr.Kennedy had frozen into a statue.
‘Nicole actually knew Sebastian Wyance!' Even Ms.Emerson was surprised at this scene.She did not
know her student had such a background.
Both Norah and Raine were even more shocked as their mouths were open agape.
When they saw Sebastian treating Nicole so affectionately, they were very dumbfounded.
'Who is this person that we usually look down upon?’ Gary's hand clenched silently, and he was never
clearer as to how foolish he was than now.
He quietly walked back to his seat as he silently looked at Nicole, who was not too far away from him,
with a complicated look in his eyes.
Nicole gave Sebastian a helpless look.
She clearly saw that he was speaking to her with the microphone close at hand, which meant that he
deliberately wanted everyone to hear this.It made her speechless.
"Long time no see, Mr.Wyance."
Even the host was stunned by this scene as he did not know how to proceed next.
This was originally a very official awards ceremony, and now it had become a large-scale family
reunion of sorts.
Moreover, Sebastian was the one who started that.
‘How am I supposed to interrupt him?' Fortunately, the young lady was sensible enough as she pointed
at the trophy in Sebastian's hand and softly said, "I'm here for that."
Sebastian finally realized he was here to hand out the award after the reminder.
He cleared his throat and handed the trophy to Nicole.
"This is the award given by the Olympiad committee.I will give you my own award later."
As he said that, Sebastian blinked at Nicole.
Her face was, however, bereft of any expression.She thanked him after receiving the award and turned
around to leave.
‘I cannot accept the reward from him"she thought.
Everyone saw that Nicole was not giving Sebastian Wyance any face, and the host too frowned.
Although Sebastian Wyance did not follow the protocols of the awards ceremony, his status was stil] up
there.
'Isn't i t too much for Nicole to not give him face like that?’ Thinking of this, the host stepped forward to
stop Nicole.
He whispered, "Stop, do not piss Mr.Wyance off!"
Just as he was about to pull Nicole, she dodged to the side and simply just walked off the stage.
Immediately after, Sebastian's icy voice came from behind the host.
"You are the one pissing me off."
This time around, he was not speaking to the microphone, so only the host heard what he said.
He looked at Sebastian in surprise, but the latter ignored him as he nodded to Mr.Ellison and then
glanced at Merwin as they left the stage.
Nicole returned to her seat and handed her trophy to Ms.Emerson.She then gave the stunned
Mr.Kennedy an impassive look as she said.
"Mr.Kennedy, I'll be waiting for you in class tomorrow."
After that, Nicole ignored Mr.Kennedy's bitter look a s she walked toward the hall's exit.
Ms.Emerson stood there holding the trophy, and before she could react to what had happened, there
were many congratulatory voices from the high school teachers around her.
For her to raise a national Math Olympiad champion a t such a young age, Ms.
Emerson was about to get famous! How could those teachers let go of such a future great educator?
Mr.Kennedy was shivering in anger as he watched Ms.Emerson being surrounded.
The young male teacher beside him, however, gave him a respectful look.
"Mr.Kennedy, I thought you were pulling my leg just now, but it turned out to be real! That Ms.Emerson
sure is incredible, for her to produce the first and second place winners of the Math Olympiad.She is
sure a role model! Excuse me, but I'll be heading over to have a look!"
