Chapter 249 Jeremy's Questioning

All the students had boarded the bus, and just before Emily got on, Colt called out to her, his voice full of trust.

"Emily, if you nail this task, I'll throw a public recognition ceremony afterward. I'll announce to everyone in Silvermist City that you're my daughter."

"Then, you'll be the esteemed heiress of the Ramirez family, and everything the Ramirez family owns will be yours to inherit. Your mom's situation will also be taken care of."

Hearing these words, Emily felt like she was dreaming.

She couldn't help but smile broadly, agreeing to Colt's request.

"Alright, Mr. Ramirez, I won't let you down!"

Colt had been so good to her, giving her such authority, and even offering to deal with Elizabeth for her.

This time, she wouldn't hold back.

The position of the Ramirez family's heiress was hers for the taking!

By then, Jessa should be rescued too, and their family could be reunited.

With these thoughts, Emily happily got on the bus.

After this group left, the second batch of students for the intensive training also set off from another location.

Jeremy got on the bus and glanced at Louis sitting in the front row, frowning slightly.

He looked familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she had seen him before.

After a three-hour drive, all the buses finally arrived at Science Island.

As they got off, Elizabeth stretched lazily, having slept comfortably the whole way.

Others weren't as relaxed, whispering among themselves.

"This Science Island is so far away, with all those twists and turns, I can't remember the way at all."

"Yeah, once we're on the island, there's no way to leave on our own. Our phones have been confiscated, so it looks like we'll be stuck in the lab every day."

The ferry was already docked, ready to take the students across.

Elizabeth glanced at the distant island, smiling as the salty sea breeze hit her face.

She hadn't expected that the random location she chose for the intensive training would be turned into a tech island.

The scenery around here was beautiful, like a hidden paradise.

When another bus arrived, many people turned to look.

"Are the students who enrolled last winter also here for the intensive training?"

"There are two large bases on the island, so they probably won't be with us. But some of those guys are really handsome! I wonder if we'll get to see them later."

Elizabeth wasn't interested in these so-called handsome men, but before she could turn around, a large hand suddenly gripped her shoulder tightly.

The next moment, a familiar, nauseating face appeared in front of her, and accusatory words came rushing out.

"Elizabeth, what are you doing here?"

Jeremy stared at Elizabeth, his grip tightening, his eyes behind his glasses cold as ice.

Seeing her standing there, his mind was filled with unpleasant thoughts.

What kind of place was a lab? Jeremy had put in a lot of effort to become an intern!

For Elizabeth, a young girl, to enter the lab, she must have used some improper means! This degenerate Elizabeth made him sick!

Elizabeth didn't even look at him, saying nothing, which only made Jeremy angrier as he grabbed her arm harder.

Ignoring the other students around, he loudly demanded.

"I'm talking to you! What are you doing here?"

"Your grades might be decent, but you didn't even finish college before going abroad. With your education, what are you pretending to be a research elite for?"

Elizabeth lowered her eyes, her lashes casting shadows, and after a moment of silence, she suppressed her temper.

She didn't want to make a scene here, giving Colt a reason to mock her, or letting Emily see her as a joke, so she warned him in a low voice.

"I've told you countless times, we're strangers now. We're about to board the island, so I suggest you stop causing trouble."

However, people around them had already heard their conversation and started discussing in disbelief.

"Oh my God, a high school diploma? Is that for real?"

"No way, we're all top students from prestigious universities, and it was hard enough for us to get into the lab. How did someone with just a high school diploma get in?"

"How else? She probably slept with someone powerful to get in."

These words hit Jeremy's sore spot directly.

He knew that with the Perez family's influence in Skyhaven City, it would be hard to get a spot in the lab directly.

Moreover, with the Perez family in turmoil, Elizabeth couldn't possibly have connections in Silvermist City. The only possibility was that she used dirty means.

Amid the surrounding discussions, Jeremy's mind was filled with disgusting images.

Jeremy suddenly laughed, gripping Elizabeth's wrist even tighter.

"Causing trouble? With your level of education, do you even understand the complex functions and calculus used in experiments?"

"Stop pretending! Elizabeth, be honest, which old man bought you the ticket in?"

His words drew even more attention, and almost all the students gathered around.

Emily had just finished touching up her makeup and got off the bus, just in time to see this scene.

Seeing Jeremy questioning Elizabeth, she was momentarily stunned, then smiled in surprise.

Emily hadn't had the chance to figure out how Elizabeth got into the lab.

But now, someone was asking for her.

Jeremy was now hysterically demanding the truth from Elizabeth.

No matter how Elizabeth struggled, he would cling to her like a madman, his eyes bloodshot, staring at her.

Everyone was gathered around, watching the spectacle, and the murmurs grew louder.

Elizabeth gritted her teeth, finally reaching her limit.

She hadn't wanted to make a scene just after arriving at the lab.

But since Jeremy was being so shameless, she had no reason to hold back.

Just as Jeremy was about to question her again, Elizabeth suddenly yanked her arm free and slapped him hard across the face!

The surrounding area fell silent.
