Chapter 277: 0277 was paralyzed by squeezing_1

After hanging up the phone, Felicia Frost actually wondered, how could people be so shameless to this extent?

And heartless to this degree as well.

Olivia Johnson was, after all, Lucy Wood’s biological mother. How could she have done something so disgraceful and still have the audacity to contact Lucy Wood.

Fortunately, Lucy Wood had a strong sense of self-awareness and did not answer the call.

If she had, God knows how Olivia Johnson would have belittled her, causing her to end up crying again. Just the thought of it made Felicia Frost angry.

She immediately blocked Olivia Johnson’s number.

Now that Ellen Young was involved, the Wood Family wouldn’t dare do anything to Ellen, as long as Lucy Wood didn’t drop the ball.

It wasn’t as if the Wood Family could just come to Imperial City and snatch someone away, right?

This was a society governed by the rule of law.

Felicia Frost scoffed, busy as she was today, with no time to deal with fools.

For Ellen Young’s part, after having lunch, they spent some time in the hotel lobby.

These scientists were very important, so they generally couldn’t go just anywhere without reporting their itinerary in advance for the area to be cleared.

Unreported itineraries were naturally a no-go.

Ellen Young informed Damien Frost about Bruno coming along with her to Haran Village, and Damien nodded, making a call to arrange everything.

After all, they had to ensure these scientists returned unharmed to their countries once the seminar was over.

Many people came to talk to Ellen Young, most of whom she knew. Time flew by as everyone chatted together.

Ruffy Smith, with nothing better to do, saw a few acquaintances also sitting there. When they noticed Ruffy’s gaze fixed on Ellen Young, discreetly taking pictures with his cellphone from time to time, one cautious young man said, "Ruffy, won’t Professor Young get angry if you do that?"

Ruffy Smith, lounging in his chair, had a playful expression, "Of course not."

He never published the photos he took of Ellen Young.

Amidst the recent turmoil, everyone had heard some rumors, "Ruffy, we heard you lived in the countryside with Professor Young. Are you close to Professor Young?"

Ruffy Smith: "..."

That kind of talk could only come from someone nosy like Geoffrey Hann.

Yet, he smiled coyly, not denying it, "Yes."

The other boys didn’t think much of it, just envied, "Ruffy, you Sina people have it good, being able to interact closely with Professor Young, how great that is."

Ruffy Smith responded lazily, "Then immigrate."

The other man: "..."

He didn’t say another word.

Immigration wasn’t something to be discussed casually. Being offspring of big families, such talk was just talk.

Ruffy Smith didn’t pay heed to these considerations, but they had to.

Or else if someone overheard, there would be consequences to face.

Even though Ruffy Smith’s identity was mysterious, the media still captured some photos of him.

Not knowing who he was, they thought at least publishing them in magazines would be pleasing to the eye.

After all, Ruffy Smith was so young, he must be an exceptional genius as well.

At two in the afternoon, the Laursen seminar was set to continue. Ellen Young and the others headed back to the seminar venue.

Ellen Young’s presentation was also drawing near. Compared to the morning session, the trending topics on Twitter had exploded during lunchtime. Many people were shocked when they heard the news. Even those who didn’t understand were compelled to see the young scientist in action.

So Laursen’s website for live broadcasts—crashed due to the heavy traffic.

Only the national station kept on airing steadily.
