Chapter 45
Before Louis arrived, Mary was taken to MIT in Boston by Evelyn, who had obtained visitation rights.
Here, Mary saw the seven world mathematical problems after the millennium, and the only mathematician who proved one of them hanging there—Grigori Perelman.
"Do you know, your mother was just a little bit away from solving one, a mathematical problem with major significance in physics."
Mom couldn't solve it either?
Mary looked at the seven vertical platforms ignorantly and said something that made Evelyn happy.
"Maybe I can hang in there in the future."
"Of course, my child."
Especially since I obtained that strange thing that can save time for geniuses. Believe me, Mary, Grandma will take you to the peak and leave your name in the world.
Evelyn smiled.
Soon.
The two met the target of this trip, MIT PhD Seymour Shankland.
Yes, this was actually a test by Evelyn, wanting Mary to enter MIT to study.
And now, Mary exceeded the goal. She not only solved the problem but even pointed out the error in the problem.
When Seymour asked why she didn't explain in advance that he had made a mistake.
"Frank said that you can't point out the mistakes of elders at will. No one likes people who think they are smart."
Causing everyone to laugh.
Mary didn't understand; she didn't know what they were laughing at.
"Alright, Evelyn, Mary is indeed a genius. I can guarantee her entry into MIT."
Time soon came to five days later.
In court, no one expected that Evelyn had invited Mary's biological father, a man named Pollard, who naturally nominated Evelyn for custody.
Both sides engaged in a fierce battle of words.
It had to be said that although Frank didn't have the money to hire a big lawyer, the black lawyer he found was quite capable, accurately hitting the point, leaving the other side speechless, and even mocking them.
"Look at this computer, you can find it by searching the name, and you are in the same city. In seven years, have you really gone to find Mary?"
"Oh, the United States is so big, I can't find it all~"
"Hehe, it's ridiculous."
And at this time, Louis was on his way and called Mary.
At this moment, Mary was with the Children's Association. The Children's Association needed to confirm the child's wishes and situation.
Mary, who picked up the phone, was cheering.
"Louis? You're coming right away? That's great!"
The Children's Association specialist couldn't help but smile when she saw Mary's cheering expression.
But soon she couldn't laugh anymore.
"What? You only have one friend here, and not of the same age? A thirty or forty-year-old black female neighbor?"
"What? You were kidnapped before? Your other three friends were met there, and the Louis just now was one of them?"
"What? You also watch UFC fighting matches with your uncle every Saturday? And imitate them fighting?"
Every time she heard a sentence, the specialist's face turned black.
Soon, the specialist left with the materials, and Mary also slipped out of the room secretly, looking at the courtroom. At this time, the confrontation in the courtroom was becoming more and more intense.
One side accused Evelyn of not caring about her children, and the other side accused Frank of being out of jealousy.
Perhaps many times lawyers are masters of speech, seizing opportunities, fiercely stirring up emotions, and at the same time tilting the judge's point of view.
Both sides did this very well.
But no one noticed that a small head in the back was looking at Pollard, who was crying.
At this time.
Click.
The courtroom door opened.
Louis walked in.
Everyone was surprised. How did a child suddenly come in? Did he go the wrong way? Where are the guards?
Although the laws of Florida allow courtroom spectators, Louis's identity as a child first made everyone think he had entered by mistake.
"Hello everyone, I am Mary's friend. I heard she was in a little trouble, so I came to see. If there is any disturbance, please forgive me."
Behind Louis, the driver and bodyguards appeared at the right time.
With that, Louis ignored them and walked straight toward the corner. There, Mary, who was crying, looked at Louis walking over in a daze.
"Hi, Mary, why are you crying again? Is someone bullying you?"
"Louis, I, I, if, if I were a father, I would definitely go to see my daughter. But I didn't see my father. I thought he was gone. But he is here. He is even in the same city as me. I don't even need to call, he could find me by following Frank. But he didn't..."
Mary hugged Louis and cried.
Louis roughly understood what was going on, and his eyes glanced at Pollard.
In the courtroom, Frank saw Mary crying and wanted to come over urgently, but was stopped by the guards.
It wasn't until he saw Mary stop crying after being comforted by Louis that he gradually calmed down, just looking at Pollard with hateful eyes—this scumbag!
At this time, Louis made a gesture, the driver nodded and walked out quickly.
Since he decided to interfere in this matter, he would interfere to the end.
Frank's lawyer began to attack Evelyn for being unable to take care of children, not being a qualified guardian, having no childhood, no play, no friends, few social activities, and once eloping with her first love, only to be accused of kidnapping by her...
Evelyn immediately retorted, "Diane is not an ordinary person. We must admit the difference between ordinary people and geniuses. Letting geniuses be like ordinary people will only make them depressed and painful. And this is a loss to human civilization!"
"I am leading my child toward a great future, not wasting her talent!"
"Now, Mary is also a genius. Do you want her to waste her talent like an ordinary child and suppress herself?"
"No, only by letting her be with me can Mary walk on the right path!"
Louis, in the corner in the distance, couldn't help but frown. It seemed that in this country that claims to be free, there are quite a few people who want to control their children's lives!
Quite tyrannical!
In the United States, or rather, in human society, the fact that geniuses are different from ordinary people is almost universally recognized, and the Children's Association of the United States pays great attention to the child's own environment and conditions.
Now the specialist came to the judge, handed in her materials, and put forward her own ideas. "Judge, I think neither of them is suitable to be Mary's guardian. Perhaps we should find a foster family for this child."
Finally, the trial ended temporarily.
Pollard hurried out, showing no intention of seeing Mary at all.
Frank ran to Mary, hugged her, his eyes red.
At this time, Louis made a gesture, the driver nodded and walked out quickly.
Since he decided to interfere in this matter, he would interfere to the end.
