Chapter 164 A Slap on the Face
Emma tossed a glance at Baron as if implying that he was getting her into trouble.
Baron came in front of Olivia and stopped her from getting closer to Emma, "Olivia, what are you
doing?"
Olivia was embarrassed so much. She squinted at Emma and said provocatively, "Baron, Ms. Glass is
your ex-wife, and I should say hello to her, shouldn't I?"
"That's enough. Give me a second!" said Baron whose attitude towards Olivia was not that good,
making her more embarrassed.
Olivia's face darkened. She could do nothing but gazed at Baron. After all, there were so crowded here.
Baron ignored her and turned his head towards Emma, "Emma, where do you live in Sealand? Do you
get used to it? If you need help, just tell me."
Emma darted an impatient look at him and said, "Good, please do me a favor now!"
Baron got closer to her eagerly, "Whatever you want."
"Please leave me alone!" said Emma.
In front of so many people, Emma just put him on the spot.
However, Baron didn't get angry about it but bowed his head and said, "Emma, I know you still hate me
since I was a badass before. It's OK..."
Emma bypassed him and walked towards the principal of Sealand University with Sophia as he was
speaking.
"Mr. Rangel, sorry, I was held up by something," said Emma.
Mr. Rangel had noticed it and replied, "It doesn't matter. It was that I didn't think it through and asked
you over at this time."
"Not a big deal. I haven't celebrated a birthday for you over these years. This year, I get the chance
since I happen to stay in Sealand this year. And I should come here."
Mr. Rangel was gratified. He liked Emma most because having such an excellent student was
awesome at that time.
It was a pity that...
"And I'm sorry for your loss. " Emma always felt regretful that she didn't come back in time when Mrs.
Rangel passed away.
Mr. Rangel said calmly, "Let it be. I'm so happy you're here."
"It's the gift for you." Emma took out a box.
Mr. Rangel asked curiously, "What's this?"
"Merely a book about my academic research. It may be not that valuable."
Mr. Rangel quickly opened the box and became excited when he saw the author was "Joyce Glass".
"Emma, are you 'Joyce Glass'?"
This author was well-known, both in the field of geology and biology; even in many other majors, she
also did a good job of writing essays.
Everybody present dropped their gaze at Emma when they heard the name "Joyce Glass".
They all wanted to look how down-and-out Emma was this time who used to be Mr. Rangel's best
student.
They felt jealous because Mr. Rangel always praised Emma in front of them while they had succeeded
in their career.
Emma had been out of their sight for long, and thus everybody thought she had lost her halo.
However, none of them had expected that Emma would be popular by the name "Joyce Glass".
Besides, they got where they was because they read Joyce's books and benefited from them.
Emma explained, "It's my latest book which involves much research about the cosmos. I don't know if I
understand them correctly. Read it when you want to kill time!"
Everybody was shocked that she had been dabbling in cosmos research, though they knew she was a
marvelous woman.
Mr. Rangel said proudly, "I will read it carefully."
He was her teacher, but she had overtaken him.
Sophia pretended to be angry and said, "Ms. Glass, it's favoritism. I didn't get your new book at once."
Then Mr. Rangel finally noticed Sophia and asked, "So she's Sophia?" NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Emma introduced Sophia, looking immensely proud, "Yes, the student I mentioned to you before."
"Sophia, this is my teacher."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Rangel," said Sophia respectfully.
Everybody got more shocked that Sophia was Emma's student.
Her company had been popular in Sealand and soon became the most famous one a few years later.
And she owned more than one company, all of which were in the good business condition.
They used to wonder if she just relied on the Riley family and Lawson family to make her successful.
But they figured it out because she was Emma's student.
Mr. Rangel knew about Sophia. He looked at her and said excitedly, "Good, you're the pride of your
teacher."
Sophia said modestly, "How can I be compared to Ms. Glass? She's cosmopolitan, but I'm only a
businesswoman. I only love making money."
No one would be franker than Sophia in speaking out about her idea of money.
"You're too humble. Emma has told me that you offer not a few suggestions for her academic research.
That's great. I feel so lucky to have such a student while her student is even more excellent."
Sophia looked at Emma in surprise. "Well, it's OK for Mr. Rangel to know it."
Alright!
What she wanted to hide was exposed.
Cecelia and Flynn heard the discussion when they came in.
They heard of "Joyce Glass".
Although Cecelia wasn't a member of academia, she knew how high esteem her family, even people
around her, held for her.
But it was out of her expectation that Sophia was Emma's student.
Why?
Drake had been here for a long while and kept quiet. Not until he walked to Emma did he say, "Mom!"
Such a word stunned all the people.
They knew Emma was Baron's ex, but no one talked about it for years.
And Drake and Aria treated Olivia as her mother in public. They used to consider that the two kids had
no idea about it, but it seemed that Drake had found the truth.
