Chapter 39
Wait, Louisa actually got it right?
Felicia gritted her teeth, certain it was just a lucky guess, but she plastered a curious smile on her face. “Louisa, how did you figure that out?”
“Looking at the numbers, Nova Group is progressing more slowly than the other two stocks, but if you observe closely…” Louisa explained it step by step, even dropping some advanced financial terms that left the finance majors half-impressed and half-confused.
The finance students’ expressions shifted, and whispers began spreading.
“Did she know the answer beforehand?”
“She’s not even in the finance department. There’s no way she’d know unless she self- studied… That’s impressive.”
“Even we finance majors feel a little inadequate…’
The room buzzed with quiet admiration.
Felicia’s jaw nearly shattered from clenching. How was Louisa this knowledgeable even about finance?
Jasper’s gaze on Louisa grew warmer, a flicker of genuine admiration in his eyes. Yes, his
woman was smart.
“Excellent explanation, Louisa. Please sit. Now, let’s move on to the next point…”
After covering another topic, it was time for questions again.
Jasper’s gaze landed on Felicia. His voice was calm and indifferent. “Why don’t we hear from the student who voiced out earlier?”
Felicia froze. Her heart raced from being called out in front of everyone, but she trusted her memory and stood to answer.
His eyes darkened slightly, but his voice was still calm and measured. “It seems like you weren’t paying attention.”
Felicia’s face burned. She was being publicly criticized by the stunningly handsome guest lecturer. The embarrassment was unbearable.
“I…” Felicia bit her lip.
Whispers ran through the room.
“Isn’t Felicia supposed to be a top student?”

“She’s not in finance, though.”
“True, but Louisa isn’t either, and she answered so well. That shows she’s way smarter.”
“Yeah, that seems to be the case.
Hearing everyone comparing her to Louisa, Felicia seethed inside.
“Sit down.” Jasper’s tone was cool and sharp.
Felicia swallowed her humiliation and sat, burning with resentment.
Soon, someone else volunteered to answer, and the tension eased, but Felicia spent the rest of class being distracted.
Louisa rested her chin on her hand, watching Jasper teach. He was incredibly handsome, exuding a magnetic, untouchable air that left her weak in the knees.
When class ended, the students reluctantly filed out.
