Sierra found the old man’s comments amusing and couldn’t help laughing. Well, if she’s difficult, then your grandson’s the one who has to deal with her! Isn’t that a good thing? Let him suffer a little.” 

Mr. Wynn paused, then nodded in agreement. You’re not wrong,” 

Shame Johnathan was a pain in every other waybut at least the boy had good taste

After just a short conversation with Sierra, Mr. Wynn could already tell this girl was the real deal. It almost felt like a waste, pairing someone like her with his little troublemaker of a grandson

Where do you live, sir? Is it far?Sierra asked

She’d assumed he lived somewhere on campus, but when she saw him heading for the front gate, she realized she was wrong

A bit far, but it’s fine. Someone’s coming to get me. You go on now. If fate allows, we’ll meet again,Mr. Wynn said with a casual wave

Alright!Sierra replied cheerfully and headed off to hail a cab

Moments after she left, a long luxury car pulled up in front of Mr. Wynn. The butler stepped out quickly to greet him

How did it go, sir?” 

She’s a good one,” Mr. Wynn said, then added with a sigh, Too bad she’s got terrible taste. Of all people, she picked Johnathan.” 

The old man looked thoroughly exasperated. The butler didn’t dare respond

Mr. Wynn could criticize the young master all he wantedbut no one else was allowed to. After all, he’d personally said Johnathan was the one who most took after him

Sierra didn’t think twice about the encounter. She had no idea who she’d just been talking to

With Dickson’s school situation handled, she dove back into work

Lately, her professor had been collaborating with the Institute of Astronomical Research, so she and her team were stationed there assisting with the project. Johnathan hadn’t been too busy these days and had been driving her to and from work. Draven once joked that not even foreign royalty got this kind of 

treatment

Sierra just smiled and let it go. She knew Johnathan was only temporarily free. The Zach family had been just his first step

Based on everything she knew about him, Johnathan wasn’t done. He was just taking a break. She could only hope no one else poked the bear

She’d been worried about what trouble might come from his sidebut in the end, it was her own that fell 

apart first

The project she was leading hit a major snag. One of the key datasets failed at a critical moment. Since this was part of a national collaboration, the situation escalated fast

The day it happened, her professor immediately depped in to handle the negotiatione but i didn’t go well 

Sierra’s dataset had been pivotal. Because of the error, werke of research had gone in wade 

And since it involved the national prerarch institute, the consequences weren’t minor. Sierra was taken in for investigationProfessor Martin tried to intervene but conddn’t stop them 

My gut says Sierra wouldn’t make a mistake like that, Autumn said urgently. Something’s not right

Professor Martin agreed. Sierra had been working under him for over two months now. Apart from Johnathan, she was easily the most gifted student he’d ever had

There was no way she’d mess up like that

But right now, they couldn’t do anything

Waitwhat about that Mr. Draven?” 

Autumn perked up. He’s got a pretty high position at the Institute. Maybe he can help 

Plus, Draven and Sierra seemed to get along fairly well

He’d never snapped at herhis worst offense was dragging her into latenight overtime

It was a solid lead. Professor Martín nodded. Try to reach him. I’ll think of something else on my end 

What about Mr. Yaeger?Azure asked

Professor Martin paused, then shook his head. Not yet.” 

He knew Johnathan’s temper. If he found out now, who knew what kind of mess he’d stir up

He’d only worryand he wouldn’t be able to help much anyway.” 

What Professor Martin didn’t know was Johnathan’s true identity. He just didn’t want to risk making things 

worse

The others agreed and split upAutumn went to find Draven, while Azure and the rest began investigating the source of the data issue

Meanwhile, Sierra was already being interrogated

Back in a nowfamiliar room, she couldn’t deny she was nervousespecially since this time, it was far more serious. There was even talk of potential data leaks

Over and over, they asked the same questions. Her answers never changed

No one else handled the datait had been her work. But what she turned in wasn’t the same data she’d submitted

Somewhere, something had gone wrong

One thing was painfully clear: someone had set her up

But who
