Chapter 788
After Crystal told him her name and her class name, Professor Falkner seemed to have recovered from his memory
and said, "Okay... sorry to trouble you. Just leave them here."
Crystal put the neatly arranged documents on the desk. Professor Falkner said kindly, "I heard other teachers
mention you before. They said that you got in with the first ranking in the biology course."
"Yes." Crystal nodded.
"Not bad, you're a good child." Professor Falkner sighed. Tm sorry to trouble you to make such a trip."
"It's okay, professor." Crystal said, "My house is just nearby."
Professor Falkner hesitated for a moment before saying, "Speaking of fate, one of the students that I taught twenty
to thirty years ago looked very similar to you, so when you opened the door and came in just now, I thought I saw
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther."
Crystal paused for a moment."... She's very similar to me?"
"Yes." Professor Falkner rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said, "Her grades back then were also
outstanding... You should be able to find her name on the glorious wall." He sighed. "That child's name was Chloe."
Chloe.
Crystal had already guessed it, but when she heard Professor Falkner say it, she still found it unbelievable.
"Yes." Professor Falkner nodded and said, "I used to be her tutor."
"She is my mother," Crystal said softly.
Professor Falkner was slightly stunned, and a myriad of thoughts flashed through his turbid eyes in an instant. "You
are her daughter? No wonder you look so alike."
He murmured, "Too alike."
Crystal knew very little about Chloe, and she didn't dare to ask Danny and Marcus. Therefore, she didn't know that
Chloe graduated from Princeton University.
"What a coincidence," said Professor Falkner with a chuckle. "I taught your mother before, and I'm going to teach
you soon."
Crystal asked, "Professor, how... was my mother like back then?"
Professor Falkner thought for a moment and said, "Chloe was a genius."
"She was very smart. You probably don't know that she was one of the top 3 students at Princeton University back
then," said Professor Falkner. "At that time, I didn't give many lectures to undergraduate students. I only
occasionally heard of her. I thought she was going abroad to further her studies, but in the end, she chose to stay
at Princeton University and chose me as her teacher. This made me very surprised."
"But if you ask me about her behavior," The gentleness on Professor Falkner's face faded a little. He said calmly,

why she did not continue with her PhD."
It was the first time that Crystal had heard someone say that Chloe was someone unruly. She felt that it was very
. "Unruly?"
Professor Falkner pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you believe in destiny?"
Crystal shook her head and said seriously, "I'm a materialist and believe in Marxism!"
"..." Professor Falkner couldn't help but laugh. "I'm not your ideological and political teacher. You don't have to tell
me this. Just tell me your real thoughts."
Crystal thought for a moment and said, "To say that I don't believe it, sometimes I feel that I am constrained by
fate. But to say that I believe it... I don't seem to be willing to believe that I am being carried forward by the torrent
of fate."
"Some people believe it, some don't believe it, and some have the same thoughts as you, but Chloe..." Professor
Falkner seemed a little helpless. "Not only did she not believe it, but she went against the rules."
"That's why I said that she was unruly."
