Chapter 382 Isabella, Don't You Know to Respect Your Teacher?
As soon as Orville heard Isabella's name, he immediately remembered the humiliation of being beaten by Isabella before!
"Dad, how do you know her? Last time it was that bitch who made me lose face in front of everyone!"
"Not only is she close to Kennedy, but she's always getting in the way of things between me and Theodosia. I really can't stand her!"
Theodosia glanced at Orville and added, "Dad, that's right. This Isabella is really a problem, and she's got quite an arrogant personality too. She's not easy to deal with."
Garth frowned at this and asked, "Do you know if she has any connection with anyone from the Powell family?"
"She knows people from the Powell family?"
When Orville heard this, his eyes were full of mockery. "That's a joke. How could she possibly know anyone from the Powell family? She's only fit to hang around with a loser like Kennedy!"
"She and Kennedy are cut from the same cloth - equally trashy," Orville said with a dark expression.
Garth glanced at him and said, "From now on, keep a low profile at school. Don't provoke Kennedy and Isabella anymore."
Orville frowned deeply at this. "I'm supposed to be afraid of provoking them?"
He, Orville, had never been afraid of anyone in his life.
"Alright, Orville, don't argue with Dad," Theodosia interrupted. "Since Dad is telling us to keep a low profile, let's just listen to him."
Orville looked completely unconvinced.
He wanted to say more, but Theodosia stopped him and dragged him outside.
Once outside, Theodosia said to Orville, "Don't you think Delmar's death was very suspicious?"
When Orville heard Theodosia mention Delmar, he frowned. "Delmar's death was suspicious, but what does that have to do with me?"
Theodosia thought for a moment, then lowered her voice near Orville's ear. "I heard some news that a few days before Delmar died, he schemed against Isabella and tricked her into going to a hotel..."
She figured that because this was too much of a coincidence, Garth suspected that Isabella might know someone from the Powell family.
Otherwise, how could Delmar die right after this happened?
Even if Gwyneth killed him, there had to be a reason, but there was no reason given. Even the Puckett family didn't clearly explain how Delmar died, publicly claiming he died of illness.
But anyone could tell that Delmar definitely didn't die of illness.
"Are you guys reading too much into this?" Orville looked at Theodosia with disdain. "What a mess. Delmar just died, didn't he? Maybe his death is related to Remy from the Puckett family. Why are you dragging Isabella and Kennedy into this?"
"But..."
"Theodosia, why are you telling me all this? Can you stop overthinking?" Orville said impatiently. "I have plans to play ball with someone. I'm leaving."
With that, Orville left without looking back.
——
After Kennedy was hospitalized, the original four-person experimental team temporarily became a three-person team, but the progress didn't fall behind at all.
This experiment was completely different from the previous one. They had to create a power model based on hydraulic magnetic principles, and the submitted result would be this power model, not just experimental data.
If the power model could operate successfully and be installed on a small car model to make it run, then the experiment would be considered successful.
This power model alone involved dozens of components.
One afternoon, Isabella was busy in the lab with Reid and Domingo when the lab door suddenly opened from outside.
Jerald scanned the lab, his gaze first landing on Isabella, and asked coldly, "Kennedy still hasn't come?"
"No," Isabella replied and then ignored him, continuing to work on the components in her hands.
"What happened in her family? Why has she been on leave for almost a month?" Jerald asked, narrowing his eyes.
Recently, because of the Puckett family matter, he heard that the thirty-six noble families were somewhat unstable.
"Jerald, Kennedy will be here tomorrow," Reid said, not explaining what happened in Kennedy's family, only saying she would come tomorrow.
"How far along is your experiment?" Jerald asked again, his gaze falling on Isabella with a hint of dissatisfaction.
He still disliked Isabella very much.
After learning that Kennedy would be taking leave, he had advised Isabella to give up on this experiment.
Without Kennedy, Isabella couldn't possibly complete this experiment.
But Isabella insisted on being overconfident, claiming she could complete the experiment.
He thought Isabella was really too full of herself.
Isabella didn't answer Jerald's question. She didn't want to deal with Jerald.
Seeing Isabella's dismissive attitude, Jerald couldn't hold back anymore.
"This is your attitude when I'm talking to you? I'm asking you a question. Didn't you hear me?"
Jerald had pent-up resentment, and his voice was low and tense.
Domingo and Reid exchanged glances, sensing trouble. Domingo quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere: "Jerald, our experiment has already reached the fourth part."
"Did I ask you? Who told you to speak?" Jerald glared at Domingo.
Then his sharp gaze continued to fall on Isabella's face, carrying layers of coldness. "I'm asking you! Isabella, don't you know how to respect your teachers?"
Did he care about which stage the experiment had reached?
What he cared about was attitude!
Isabella's attitude was too terrible! She had no regard for him as a teacher at all! It was really infuriating!
Isabella still ignored Jerald, continuing to work on the experimental components as if no one else was there.
Jerald felt completely ignored, and his blood pressure rose.
What gave her the right to treat him this way?
Was this her attitude as a student?
"I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me? Are you deaf or mute? All the other students know how to respect their teachers, but you don't?"
Jerald strode over and directly swept Isabella's model components off the table.
The half-completed model fell heavily to the ground, components flying out and shattering into pieces.
Reid and Domingo were shocked and somewhat unable to understand. "Jerald? What are you doing?"
They really didn't expect Jerald to do such a thing.
However, the next second, what surprised them even more was that Isabella raised her hand and directly slapped Jerald, sending him flying.
"What right do you have to destroy my model?"
Isabella's eyes swept toward Jerald like icy sharp swords.
Jerald's face darkened. He never expected Isabella would actually hit him. Humiliated and angry, he glared at Isabella. "Isabella, you're assaulting a teacher? Do you not want to stay at Radiant University anymore?"
"Then go ahead and expel me," Isabella said nonchalantly.
"I see you've really become lawless!" At this point, Jerald was furious too. He raised his hand to grab Isabella's arm.
Isabella blocked his reaching hand and instead grabbed Jerald, gripping the back of his neck and pressing him down on the lab table. "I was doing my experiment just fine. Don't go looking for trouble."
