Nina Sinclair was quite unhappy about this.

Chloe Sinclair was a good student. She was selected to join a research lab in her freshman year, and everyone praised her for it.

But not long after, Chloe Sinclair shocked everyone. A rising star in the world of scientific research, she had suddenly run off to become an actress.

’How can someone who knows nothing about it just become an actress?’

And yet, instead of ridicule, she received public support from her professors online.

But what about her?

When she entered the entertainment industry, none of her relatives or classmates approved.

They had all been so eager to curry favor with her when she was still just a young lady of the Sinclair Family!

Nina Sinclair felt that all of Chloe Sinclair’s success stemmed from her family background.

Right now, all she felt was that it was unfair.

’Why is it that Chloe Sinclair has missed even more classes than I have, yet the professor only chose to humiliate me?’

However, Professor Myers, who had briefly glanced up, no longer deigned to spare Nina Sinclair another look.

He kept his head down, tore open the sealed bag, and sorted the exam papers into stacks. After he finished, he asked without looking up, "You don’t even seem concerned about yourself. Why are you so concerned about someone else?"

Nina Sinclair’s face paled. She stammered, "I—I just think that Chloe has missed more classes than I have, and, and..."

Nina Sinclair was starting to regret her outburst.

She couldn’t think of a single excuse to defend herself.

Her eyes reddened, and it looked as though she might burst into tears at any moment.

"And what?"

Professor Myers chuckled softly. "Are you trying to say that you missed a lot of classes because you’re a celebrity?"

Then, his gaze sharpened. With no intention of saving Nina Sinclair’s pride, he stated bluntly, "Chloe Sinclair was indeed filming, but that was during her own time. She arranged her schedule very reasonably. Besides, Chloe Sinclair had an approved leave of absence. Do you?"

Chloe Sinclair’s leave had been granted by the department. During that time, a few of the older professors were practically pushing her to go out and have some fun.

Her decision to act was certainly unexpected, but it was still within the realm of what they could accept.

"The days Chloe Sinclair was filming fell within her approved leave, which the university has no right to interfere with. And you?"

Professor Myers placed the attendance record in front of Nina Sinclair. "Take a look. How many times have you shown up this semester? How many leave requests have you given me?"

Nina Sinclair lowered her head and saw the end of the attendance sheet. The section for her name was completely blank.

A cold sweat broke out on her back.

No one had told her the professor actually took attendance every single class!

"That’s enough. From now on, focus on yourself and stop meddling in other people’s affairs."

Professor Myers’s words were pointed, and Nina Sinclair knew exactly what he meant.

She opened her mouth to say something, but upon seeing the ink-black intensity in his eyes, Nina Sinclair shrank back and retreated meekly to a seat in the last row.

Fortunately, the exam wasn’t delayed because of Nina Sinclair.

When it was time to collect the papers, Chloe Sinclair was the first to turn hers in.

Professor Myers glanced at her exam and reminded her, "There’s still an hour left before the test ends."

At this, Chloe Sinclair pressed her palms together in a pleading gesture, a pitiful look on her face. "Professor, time is of the essence. Could you please do me this favor?"

Professor Myers knew Chloe Sinclair was talking about the press conference in Meridia. He cursed, half-joking, "Get out of here!"

"But if you don’t get first place, you’ll be taking a make-up exam next semester."

After Chloe Sinclair left, Professor Myers turned his attention to her exam paper.

The first part wasn’t particularly remarkable. Many students were only just getting their first real taste of Physics, so the earlier questions were all very basic.

The truly difficult part was the essay question at the end.

But after just one glance, Professor Myers’s eyes lit up.
