Chapter 359 What Does It Have to Do with You
Nolan looked at Saskia's clueless expression and couldn't help but laugh in frustration.
Just then, Sable spoke up from the side: "Saskia, your dad's right. He didn't lie to you. I talked to Gwyneth on the phone, and she admitted it herself - Isabella is her daughter."
Hearing this, Saskia's lips trembled slightly.
Isabella was really Gwyneth's daughter?
She could hardly believe it, and didn't want to believe it either.
"Then why does she have the last name Taylor?"
"I have no idea. That's the Powell family's business - how would I know?" Sable also felt regretful. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have acted that way.
Saskia's face turned truly pale now. "How can this be?"
If Isabella had such a powerful background, then what was she?
Even her jealousy had become a joke.
She had gone to confront Isabella, even fought with her.
She had actually fought with Gwyneth's daughter...
"Saskia, your elite academy is full of hidden talents. You really can't look down on anyone." Sable sighed. "Today our family learned a lesson and lost hundreds of millions of dollars. You absolutely cannot offend Isabella again, understand?"
Saskia bit her lip, her mind completely blank.
——
Radiant University.
Isabella opened the credit system backend and found that the three credits from her last experiment had been added to her account.
She and Kennedy went to the lab building, planning to pick a new experiment.
"Kennedy, you're here too? Are you also picking an experiment?"
A tall, handsome guy walked over.
Kennedy looked up.
It was Reid McDowell.
"That's right." Kennedy nodded, then glanced at Isabella beside her and said to Reid, "I'm planning to team up with my roommate."
Reid smiled. "I didn't know your roommate was Isabella."
Isabella was frequently mentioned in private conversations among the guys.
Of course, it was because she was pretty.
"Since you're teaming up, can I join you?" Reid asked Kennedy. "Didn't we work well together last time? I'd really like to work with you again."
Reid had been in the same group as Kennedy for the last experiment.
He could tell that Kennedy was really capable, so he genuinely admired her. After all, when smart people work with smart people, things get done twice as fast.
"I'd have to ask Isabella's opinion."
Kennedy looked at Isabella and said, "Reid was in my group for the previous experiment. He's won a lot of physics awards and is definitely a top student. He's capable and responsible. What do you think about adding him?"
Isabella observed Reid for a moment and agreed. "Kennedy, I trust your judgment. If you think he should join, then let him join."
After all, if it was just the two of them doing the next experiment, that would be too few people.
"Reid, you're hitting on two beautiful girls behind my back! How sneaky." A slightly chubby guy walked over and slapped Reid hard on the shoulder.
Reid removed his hand and frowned. "Domingo Cooley, I'm not hitting on anyone. I just want to team up with them."
"Team up?" Domingo's eyes lit up at this. "Then add me too."
He looked eagerly at Isabella and Kennedy. "Take me on your team. I'm not that smart, but I can do all the dirty work! When you're doing experiments, I can buy you water, get food, clean up..."
"Domingo, stop right there." Reid said. "Kennedy and Isabella don't need someone to do odd jobs."
Just as Reid finished speaking, Isabella spoke up: "No, actually we do need someone for odd jobs."
Reid: "..."
After hearing Domingo's words, Isabella found herself somewhat tempted.
The lab benches needed cleaning, sometimes they had to run up and down floors to borrow equipment, and buying water and food was routine. If Domingo could handle the odd jobs, adding him wasn't out of the question.
"Great!" Domingo raised his hand excitedly. He looked at Isabella gratefully. "Isabella, you're so kind. From now on, you're my boss. Whatever you say, I'll do."
Isabella: "..."
Reid also looked at Domingo with some exasperation.
"Then it's settled." Kennedy asked, "Which experiment should we choose?"
Isabella scanned the list and raised an eyebrow. "Experiment 31, what do you guys think?"
Domingo's eyes went wide when he heard this.
"What?"
"Number 31? A 7-credit experiment - can we even handle that?"
The lower the sequence number, the higher the credit value, and usually the greater the difficulty.
Everyone understood this principle well.
And from what they knew, generally speaking, 1-3 credit experiments were freshman level, 4-5 credit experiments were sophomore level, 7-8 credit experiments were junior level, and as for 9-10 credits, don't even think about it - since the academy was founded, almost no students had successfully completed experiments at that difficulty level.
With their current abilities, they could barely handle 1-3 credit experiments.
A 7-credit experiment was way too difficult.
Domingo's voice was too loud, and the surrounding students heard that Isabella's group was planning to do experiment 33, immediately casting doubtful looks their way.
"Trying to run before you can walk! Freshmen wanting to do a 7-credit experiment - what an appetite, aren't you afraid you'll choke on it?"
One of the guys said mockingly.
7-credit experiments were junior level. Even if you asked the class of '88 sophomores to do it, it would be tough, let alone freshmen like them.
Others chimed in: "Exactly. Don't be too ambitious. Be careful you waste your time and end up with no credits at all."
Everyone looked at Isabella, Kennedy and the others like they were watching a show.
"Number 31 it is."
Kennedy walked over to the electronic machine nearby.
She directly entered the experiment number and clicked confirm.
She had said before that whatever experiment Isabella did, she would do it with her, no hesitation needed.
She also wanted to try something more challenging anyway.
Reid and Domingo naturally had no objections either.
Domingo looked at those chattering people. "What's it to you? We're just doing an experiment - how does that concern you?"
The guy's face immediately darkened after being called out.
He turned his head away and stopped talking, though a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
They wouldn't listen to advice, so they'd regret it sooner or later.
He didn't believe these people could actually complete experiment 31. In the end, they'd definitely come up empty-handed!
After Kennedy entered the experiment number, the machine dispensing experiment materials pushed out a stack of materials for experiment 31.
She took out four copies at once and distributed them to Isabella, Reid, and Domingo, one for each person.
"Everyone go back and look over the experiment materials first, get familiar with the content. Tomorrow we'll apply for a lab room to discuss the specific division of work, and then we can get started."
"Sounds good."
Domingo was very enthusiastic.
"See you tomorrow then!"
