Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1166

Chapter 1166 Clarify

Nicole's decisive announcement and unassailable aura slightly intimidated many reporters present. Nevertheless, there were still a few courageous ones who raised doubts, exclaiming, "Miss Anderson, why would Doctor Zeller recommend you to the science academy when the two of you aren't connected?"

"That's right. There's no need for Doctor Zeller to do so if it's purely because of his good relationship with your master. After all, according to hearsay, he is a business-like and extremely virtuous man."

With that, Nicole silently shifted her gaze to the reporter who asked that question. The corner of her mouth into a sneer as she responded flatly, "Are you implying that Mr. Zeller should check in with you every time he makes a new friend? Is that it?"

Her question reduced the reporter to silence.

Soon, another reporter inquired, "Miss Anderson, may I ask who your master is then?" If truth be told, almost everyone present was curious about the identity of Nicole's master. Either way, considering he could befriend someone of Nathan's status, they speculated her master was someone from a prestigious background as well.

"White Nicholson," Nicole announced without the slightest hesitation.

Instantly, everyone in the press conference became quiet. It was so quiet that everyone could even hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground. An awkward atmosphere permeated the audience and lasted for a long while until someone spoke with a tone tinged with admiration, "White Nicholson!? The Great Doctor, White Nicholson?! Now it makes sense why Mr. Zeller would recommend you to the science academy."

"Doctor White and his apprentice, the medically gifted young lady, were the ones who suppressed the epidemic spread in Durobrivae back then!"

"Yeah, that's right! I've heard before that Doctor White and his apprentice once saved Mr. Zeller and his family!"

"Doctor White seems to have only accepted one apprentice, which was the medically gifted young lady who shocked the entire medical community years ago!"

Everyone immediately looked at Nicole in unison with their eyes full of shock. If Nicole is indeed White Nicholson's apprentice, then she is the medically gifted young lady who saved Durobrivae years ago! And if it turns out to be true… Then, how dare we spread rumors about her! As soon as this thought crossed the reporters' minds, they wanted to give themselves a hard slap in the face for offending someone like her.

Someone among them was the first to regain their senses. They quickly stepped forward and started pressing for answers, "You said your master is White Nicholson. So, are you that medically gifted young lady all those years ago?"

"You are too kind, but Master White and I were indeed the ones who developed the vaccine for the epidemic in Durobrivae years ago." Nicole pursed her lips and said coldly.

Everyone present instantly was in an uproar. Back then, all the credits for the vaccine development went to White. As for the medically gifted young lady, she was extremely low profile. In fact, she didn't even leave her name. The only thing that Durobrivae's citizens knew was that she was White's apprentice. Now that they found out Nicole got into the science academy upon Nathan's recommendation, they were certain that Nicole couldn't possibly be lying about her identity as White's apprentice.

In the meantime, Natasha, who was in the audience, instantly had a ghastly expression as she listened to Nicole introducing herself as White's apprentice. She began to clench her fists that were hanging by her side. Never have I ever thought that Nicole would be White Nicholson's apprentice. Now that she has revealed her identity to the public, everything I have done before seems like a joke.

Then, Natasha looked up at the stage and happened to make eye contact with Nicole, who was on stage. Nicole's gaze was nothing short of glacial as she boldly met Natasha's gaze. This caused Natasha to feel slightly guilty and she hastily looked away. Then, she gulped, feeling panicked, for never once did it cross her mind that the person she offended was White's apprentice, the medically gifted young lady who was famous in Druvale back then. It seems that my life in the science academy will be full of trouble and misfortune in the future. When Natasha thought of this, she felt as though she could already envision her bleak and dark future. She slowly tightened her fists, and the pain suddenly made her remember the words Logan spoke to her. There is still hope for me! I have Old Mr. Yael as my backer, so I can't give up now. As she thought of this, the tense line of her shoulder eased and she tried to get her breathing back to normal, forcing herself to stay cool-headed. After that, she turned around and walked out of the venue.

Nicole stared at Natasha's back silhouette and watched as she left. Then, she retracted her gaze. Although I know Natasha is behind everything, I am in no mood to seek vengeance with someone like her right now. There are bigger fish to fry and she's a plankton at most. Moreover, I need to return to the science academy basement, find a way to enter those blasted doors, and find the voodoo bug!
