Chapter 292: Set Up

Finished

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 way–but 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 wanted–but 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 side–but 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.
