From their chance encounter on the pedestrian street, where he tried to scam a boxed meal from a con artist, to meeting again that night when he saved himself from a thug—whether in terms of intelligence or skill, he was truly impressive. Even with Yvonne Sullivan's critical eye, she thought he could be called “both wise and brave.”

How could he possibly be the idiot from Qingyun High School?

Clearly, Ethan Lincoln was thinking about this too.

Her gaze swept back and forth across Olivia Bolton's face as she asked uncertainly, “Are you really that idiot Olivia Bolton?”

“I am that Olivia Bolton, but not the idiot you’re talking about.” Olivia Bolton gave a wry smile.

“That’s impossible! Even though we weren’t in the same class back then, I saw you from afar at school. At that time, you… were totally an idiot! How could you have changed so much?”

“Boys change a lot as they grow up—always for the better. So, did you misjudge me back then?” Olivia Bolton said with a smile.

Naturally, he wouldn’t talk about the Demon Laboratory.

Everything he experienced in the Demon Laboratory was simply unbelievable. If he spoke of it, not only would he expose his whereabouts, but he might also put others in danger.

Olivia Bolton hoped it was a nightmare that had already passed. He would keep everything that happened there buried inside forever, never to be mentioned again.

“Idiot.” Ethan Lincoln scolded, annoyed.

“Ethan Lincoln.” Yvonne Sullivan tried to persuade her helplessly.

“Auntie, he started it.” Ethan Lincoln retorted indignantly.

These two young people just didn’t get along, and Yvonne Sullivan couldn’t think of a good solution for the moment.

She looked at Olivia Bolton and said, “You’re still young, you need to find something to do. Are you willing to go back to school?”

“If possible, of course I’d like to.” Olivia Bolton said happily. “It’s just that I’ve been gone for over two years—maybe my student registration has already been canceled.”

“As long as you want to go back, nothing else is a problem.” Yvonne Sullivan smiled charmingly.

If it were another school, it might take some effort, but Qingyun High School happened to be one of Junlan Group’s holdings, and Yvonne Sullivan was the school’s largest shareholder and chairwoman of the board.

Basically, she had the final say in all school matters. Letting a dropout re-enroll was the easiest thing in the world for her.

“Well…” Olivia Bolton hesitated—not because he didn’t want to go back to school, but because his most urgent wish right now was to find his missing parents.

Their disappearance was truly suspicious, and Olivia Bolton had to figure out what had happened.

If alive, he wanted to see them; if dead, he wanted to see their bodies.

“What’s wrong, you don’t want to?” Seeing Olivia Bolton’s hesitation, Yvonne Sullivan asked, “Or do you have other plans?”

“Of course you should go back to school!” Ethan Lincoln, who had been listening, suddenly interjected. “At your age, what else would you do if not go to school? Become a street punk?”

Ethan Lincoln naturally hoped Olivia Bolton would return to school.

In this house, with her aunt protecting him, it was basically impossible to get revenge. But at school, it was different. With her influence at Qingyun High, just a look from her would send hundreds of “beasts” to destroy Olivia Bolton.

Hmph, brat, let’s see how you die then. Is my body just for you to look at for free?

“But… if I go back now, should I be in the first year or the third year?”

Olivia Bolton’s concern was valid.

He had dropped out in the first semester of his first year, and now it was already the second semester of the third year, with not much time left before the college entrance exam. If his registration was still valid, he should be in the third year.

However, with so much coursework missed, would the school agree? What graduating class would allow a student with zero foundation to suddenly join and drag down their average grades and college admission rate?

“Of course the third year.” Ethan Lincoln volunteered. “Don’t worry about the coursework, leave it to me.”

“With Ethan Lincoln helping you, I’m relieved.” Yvonne Sullivan smiled. “She’s the undisputed top student at Qingyun High.”

For three years in a row, Ethan Lincoln had held the number one spot, never budging. At Qingyun High, she called herself second, and no one dared claim first.

Olivia Bolton suspiciously stared at Ethan Lincoln’s big, darting eyes—something about this felt off.

Just moments ago, this “enemy” was ready to fight to the death, and now she was so enthusiastic. The change in attitude was way too fast.

When things are abnormal, there must be something fishy!

However, Olivia Bolton wasn’t worried. He’d deal with whatever came his way. With the Greedy Wolf Stone protecting him, could he really not handle a little girl with some skills?

“In that case, I’ll gladly accept.” Olivia Bolton smiled. “Ethan Lincoln, I’ll be counting on you from now on.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely ‘take good care’ of you.” Ethan Lincoln got what she wanted, grinning from ear to ear.

She swore she would “take good care” of this guy, making his repeat student life a living hell—again and again.

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements.” Yvonne Sullivan picked up her phone and, smiling, dialed the number of Qingyun High’s principal, William Carter.

In less than five minutes, what seemed impossible to others was resolved just like that.
