Chapter 130: Blind Date

“Olive, are you telling the truth?” North asked incredulously.

Olive remained silent. She knew she was telling the truth, nothing more, nothing less.

“Olive, so you mean that at fifteen, you were personally invited to study abroad by the principal of the Holy Nile Academy? Pamela only got in because of Mr. Augustine. You’re really annoying, you know? That was a lifetime opportunity.”

Olive pondered.

“Pamela and I have different paths in life.”

“I won’t talk to you anymore. I can’t believe this,” North added.

Olive smiled and put away her phone. Divine rushed over, gasping,

“Olive, this is bad. Pamela, Pamela…”

“Divine, slow down. You’re out of breath,” Olive said, patting Divine’s shoulder.

“Olive, why are you so calm? Pamela just brought Professor Ruger from Holy Nile Academy. Director Hudson is with him.”

Pamela brought her mentor to the Ivory Council?

Olive poured a glass of water and gave it to Divine. “Here, drink some water.”

Greg approached, radiating confidence. The gloom had vanished from his face. He sneered at Olive.

“Olive, Professor Ruger is here and wants to see you. Director Hudson told me to invite you to his office.” Greg glared at Olive before leaving.

Divine tugged Olive’s sleeve. “Olive, that professor really likes Pamela. He’ll definitely humiliate you.”

Olive replied calmly, “Divine, don’t worry. I’ll go meet them in a while.”

“Olive, I’ll go with you!” Worried, Divine quickly followed.

They left. Marvin, who had been sleeping on the table, slowly opened his black eyes and sat up. His subordinate, Phil, approached.

“Second master, are you awake?”

Marvin picked up a medical book and flipped through it lazily. He looked up and asked Phil, “Is Aunt coming over?”

Phil replied respectfully, “Aunt is the principal of the Holy Nile Academy. She has a lot of work, but I heard Madam discussing your bride with her on the phone; she hasn’t been found yet. Aunt seems to want to introduce you to a talented girl. They want you both to go on a blind date.”

Marvin immediately tossed his medical book onto the table. Phil was too frightened to speak.

Olive and Divine arrived at Director Hudson’s office. Hudson was greeting Professor Ruger. Pamela, in a pink dress and nude makeup, stood beside him. The atmosphere was warm.

Olive knocked and entered. “Director Hudson, did you send for me?”

Olive’s arrival instantly changed the atmosphere. Professor Ruger scrutinized her.

“Are you Olive?”

Olive met his gaze. “Yes, Professor Ruger, I am Olive.”

Professor Ruger snorted. “It seems you’re a celebrity now, even more famous than most. You’re married to the CEO of Augustine Corporation and have become a wealthy young lady. Oh my, I came all this way to see you.” A medical practitioner like Professor Ruger wouldn’t read gossip; Pamela must have spoken badly about Olive.

Hudson coughed. “Olive, please pour Professor Ruger a cup of coffee.”

“Okay, sir.” Olive poured coffee for Professor Ruger.

“How old are you?” Professor Ruger asked.

“I just turned twenty.”

“Twenty? A twenty-year-old girl from a good family would be focusing on her studies. What’s your major? Who’s your tutor?”

Generally, a twenty-year-old would be in college. Even though North was in entertainment, she was still a sophomore in New York.

Pamela smiled. “Teacher, Olive only graduated from high school. She has no academic qualifications or tutor.”

In the medical world, mentors were highly valued. A respected mentor was a student’s brand. Pamela’s face radiated with pride because of Professor Ruger.

“What?” Professor Ruger frowned, looking at Hudson. “Director Hudson, Olive only graduated from high school? How was she admitted? When did Ivory Council’s admission standards drop so low?”

Hudson, like Professor Ruger, valued degrees and medical experience, which Olive lacked. Her background was unclear. He smiled awkwardly; he couldn’t have Olive removed.

“Professor Ruger, have some coffee,” Hudson said, changing the subject.

Professor Ruger was dissatisfied. “Olive, as a girl, you must focus on character building, education, and self-development. You may not reach Pamela’s level, but you shouldn’t give up on yourself.”

Professor Ruger was skilled at scolding people. His contempt for Olive was obvious.

Pamela felt proud. A few days ago, she had looked ill; now, she smiled radiantly, standing beside Professor Ruger, looking down at Olive. Pamela knew ruining Olive’s reputation would drive Elvis to divorce her.

Olive poured tea for Professor Ruger, smiling neither arrogantly nor calmly.

“Professor Ruger, I consider myself your student. I will work hard in the future.”

Professor Ruger and Pamela felt their egos crushed.
