Chapter 1608
[ 544 words ]
But because she walked into the classroom right at the bell, she instantly became
the center of attention.
“Claire, you’re back?”
The professor smiled warmly when he saw her walk in.
Every eye in the room locked onto her.
Claire calmly found a seat while greeting the professor. “Yes, Professor.”
Her sharp eyes quickly spotted Priscilla Hastings waving at her.
Claire immediately walked over.
Sitting next to Priscilla, Claire had to catch up on the coursework she missed over the past few days.
“Are you fully recovered from the kidnapping incident?”
The faculty only knew Claire had been abducted; they had no idea why.
The students were equally clueless.
They were intensely curious about the motive behind the kidnapping.
Rumors about Claire’s background were already swirling online.
After all, the scandal of her being a fake heiress had previously exploded on the internet.
Setting Octavia and Cindy’s motives aside, Claire had garnered massive attention after participating in the math competition.
So, if she was a fake heiress with no money, what did the kidnappers want?
They couldn’t have just tied her up for fun, right?
“I’m fine now. Thank you for asking, Professor.”
Claire knew the university administration had put pressure on the police to ensure her safe return.
Her genius-level intellect made every professor adore her, and none of them wanted to see her harmed.
They were all eager to see the university produce a legendary medical prodigy.
“If you need anything, make sure you talk to your counselor. Don’t carry it all on your own.”
“Be careful when you go out from now on, understood?”
The professor offered a few casual words of advice.
Though they cherished a genius, they couldn’t waste too much lecture time on her.
This was a massive lecture hall, and the rest of the students were waiting to learn. Claire understood that perfectly.
She whispered quietly with Priscilla, making sure not to disrupt the lecture. Once class ended, Ethan Monroe walked straight over to Claire and Priscilla.

He was still rigorously keeping his “genius observation diary” and had no intention of stopping.
He had documented her kidnapping in the diary, even adding his own theories and speculations.
Whether he was right or wrong didn’t matter he was going to keep tracking her. Claire was a genius, and this was his masterpiece.
“As you can see, I’m perfectly fine.”
Claire raised her hands to show him.
The three girls who shared a dorm with Priscilla saw this interaction and were immediately displeased.
Macy Wade, in particular, was fuming.
She had a massive crush on Ethan
but Ethan always treated her
well and constantly sought
She couldn’t help but suspect he had feelings for Claire.
What was so great about Claire anyway?
Sure, she was a bit smarter than average, but the world was full of smart people.
Why did Ethan have to hang onto Claire so desperately?
Especially since Claire already had a fiancé!
“I’m glad you’re okay. When my dad heard the news, he almost flew to Cabinda himself.”
Ethan couldn’t understand why his dad cared so deeply about Claire.
He honestly suspected his dad wouldn’t even be this frantic if his own son got kidnapped.
Hearing that Barry had been worried
about her, Claire quickly asked, “Did you tell your dad I made it back sately?”

She didn’t want Barry stressing over her—what if it distracted him during surgery? Barry was a great man, and Claire wished him the best.
