Chapter 43
Cordelia tilted her head in thought.
Piano Man had warned that the group admin was not someone to mess with, and
for some reason, wasn't a good idea to add him
As she was mulling this over, her phone buzzed.
Exiting the friend request screen, she saw a new message in the Pioneers Group
chat.
Interruptions asked, [Had dinner yet?]
Cordelia suddenly doubted Stanton’s words. As such a kind group admin, how
could he be difficult?
.she felt it
She left the chat and opened the friend requests, accepting the mystery person's
request. Then she pondered what to write in the nickname section.
What exactly did the group admin do?
Remembering the previous conversations in the group, where others talked
about learning from each other in their respective fields, it seemed only the
admin was the go-to person for any issue.
Cordelia had an idea and labeled the contact as Mr. All-Round.
After updating the nickname, she noticed the rest of the 19 people in the group,
following the admin’s message, obediently replied one by one as if answering a
teacher’s question.
Louie replied, [Just had dinner]
The Piano Man texted, [Haven't yet.]
Bland said, [Yes, just had a vegetable smoothie to keep fit.]
Frankle typed, [Yeah, I did.]
Cordelia was puzzled.
The admin's influence was strong, almost like he was their leader.
But she quickly dropped the thought, remembering Louie was a free-spirited
psychologist, no leader there. Cordelia followed suit and replied last. [Not yet ]
Nolnterruptions typed. [Go and eat something. @LearnLover]
Cordelia was confused, wondering why he singled her out.
Meanwhile, in the group chat “Who exactly is this girl?“, it was mayhem.
Bland started, [Today, our admin spoke four times. Are four of us going to
disappear tomorrow? Suddenly, I'm scared!]
Stanton added. [Feels like our admin is off his game. Has his account been
hacked?]
Frankie expressed, [As an old-timer here, I suspect the admin has a special
connection with the new girl. And
now I regret trying to test her. Can I retract my document now, or is it too late?]
Bland asked, [Who is this girl? Does anyone have the guts to ask Louie?]
[No way!]
Done in the Delaney family was late that day because Steward got home a bit
behind schedule,
As Cordia, who was famished devoured her meal to head upstairs to work
through some problems Mathster had set for hec Rachel suddenly said,
“Laurinda, doesn’t Rosina also enjoy playing the piano?”
Laurinda chuckled at the mention. Yes, why do you ask?”
Rachel replied, “Well, we have Stanton coming over next weekend for an
assessment. I am considering having Resina join us and take the assessment
with Juliana.”
Laurinda’s eves sparkled “Really, Rachel? Aren't you concerned she might
outshine Juliana?”
Rachel laughed and said. Come on Rosina is Madeline’s daughter, and Madeline
is your daughter, Juliana’s aunt Rosina and Juliana are cousins. We're family. If
one of them gets in, it's a win for the Delaney family!”
That's very big of you!” Laurinda praised.
Madeline Delaney was Laurinda’s youngest girl. When Madeline got hitched, the
Delaneys hadn't yet struck it noh so her husband was no high roller. That always
tugged at Laurinda’s heartstrings.
Rachel's gesture filled Laurinda with joy. She turned to Lorna, “You should take a
leaf out of your siblings“ book. That's the kind of spirit a matriarch should have,
not hoarding all the accolades without giving chances to
your sisters”
With that, she glanced at Cordelia. “If you see Juliana as your cousin, withdraw
from the physics competition!”
busy separating the meat from the ribs on her plate, planning to finish her
mouthful before
responding
But Loma already retorted. “Laurinda, in that case, why doesn't Juliana withdraw
from the piano assessment and allow Rosina to take it?”
Launnda was stunned. Rachel felt the same way.
Loma sat up straight, unwavering under Laurinda’s gaze.
Shaking with anger, Laurinda pointed at her. “Well, after all these years in our
family, I didn’t realize you were so sharp—tongued”
Loma took a deep breath and responded, “Laurinda, I'm just speaking logically.”
Enraged, Laurinda slammed down her cutlery and stood up to leave.
Rachel inquired. “Aren't you eating. Laurinda?”
Launnda huffed. “Forget it. I'm full of anger!”
Cordelia didnt dwell on the dinner drama and went upstairs after eating. Once
she finished the homework Latham had assigned, she booted up her computer
and downloaded the materials Mathster had sent her.
When opening them, she was stunned.
Coincidentally, the content was identical to the yellowed scrolls she had from her
grandfather!
as to prove this
It appeared to be an unsolved conjecture in the world of mathematics. And her
task was to conjecture correct.
In addition to practicing problems, she had been studying her grandfather's
manuscript for the past month, which had already covered two-thirds of the proof.
With her research and learning, she had made further progress.
Chapter 43
There was still some way to go before she could prove the conjecture.
So, she messaged Mathster. [This problem is quite challenging.]
How could it not be?
For away in Ontoky City, Frankie silently marveled. It was one of the mysteries of
mathematics!
He had given it to the girl to test her math skills.
If she recognized the problem, she had a deep understanding of mathematics
because one wouldn't even encounter such problems below a certain level.
He quickly typed a reply. [Correct. It's an unsolved problem.]
Before he could finish, another message came from her.
LearnLover texted, [So, I'll need about a week to provide an answer.]
Frankie was shocked. He was sure the girl was just your average high school
student. Otherwise, how could he have come back with such a naive answer?
How many mathematicians had spent their whole lives wrestling with that puzzle,
and here she was talking like she was the queen of math or something?
But with the group admin shielding her, he didn't dare to speak his mind. All he
could do was reply. [No worries if you can't crack it.]
After sending that message, he returned to the “Who exactly is this girl?" chat
group to declare his verdict:
Frankie typed out. [Confirmed. She’s no math guru but someone's protege.]
On Monday, Cordelia was so hung up on that conjecture that she woke up way
earlier than usual and got to school thirty minutes early.
When she arrived at Midnight Scent, the local coffee joint that doubled as a
hangout for the brainy types before school, she pushed the curtain aside and
walked straight in.
But
t as soon as she entered, she froze at the sight before her.
