CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 119: SETTING UP OBSTACLES (1)

On Monday, Claire North arrived at The Veridian Institute of Medicine early.

Claire North was not only the top socialite in Southgate but also Master Zane’s prized disciple, possessing not just talent, but she was hired at The Veridian Institute of Medicine without even having to undergo any evaluation. Later, she joined the research team and became a core member.

Among the young generation at The Veridian Institute of Medicine, Claire North was a prominent figure.

She visited the examination committee herself and was immediately met with warm reception.

The leader of the new member examination committee, Aaron Warren, personally prepared tea and handed it to Claire North: "Claire, this is my newly developed whitening tea, please try it."

Claire North accepted it, took a sip, and said, "The tea is clear, slightly bitter at first, but leaves a sweet aftertaste. Chief Warren, to be able to maintain the medicinal effects while blending these ingredients so deliciously, this whitening tea is bound to become a sensation and one of the economic pillars of The Veridian Institute as soon as it hits the market. When I meet with the teacher, I must exaggerate your talents to him."

Aaron Warren was incredibly excited.

After all, Master Zane was the newly appointed Elder at The Veridian National Hospital, a position of unmatched prestige; with his acclaim, Aaron would surely have unlimited prospects.

"Sigh..." Claire North suddenly sighed, her eyebrows knitted in distress.

Aaron Warren immediately asked, "Claire, what’s wrong? If there’s anything troubling you, feel free to tell me."

"Actually, it’s nothing. It’s just about my foster sister, Raina North. You’re aware she’s been saying she wants to join The Veridian Institute."

Aaron Warren’s brow furrowed instantly.

This matter was previously a heated topic on Weibo, he not only heard about it, but as the chief examiner, saw numerous comments under his post.

Claire North set down her teacup, her eyes filled with pleading: "Chief Warren, we are close friends, I hope you can help my sister fulfill her wish considering our past. If she can lead a better life, I would have no regrets."

Aaron Warren was in quite a dilemma, sighed and said, "Claire, I know you value family deeply and look out for your sister, and if this matter were not known to the public, for your sake, I would indeed help. But now it’s so widely discussed, if a high school graduate like Raina North were to join The Veridian Institute, it might indeed become the laughing stock for everyone."

"Is there really no way?"

Aaron Warren shook his head: "Even Master Zane cannot ignore public opinion like this."

"What should my sister do?" Claire North looked despondent, but the corner of her lips, hidden by her hair, slightly curled up. This was truly excellent news; soon she must call Evelyn Xavier to share this regrettable matter.

At this moment, a lazy voice sounded: "Claire North, were you thinking of me?"

Claire North turned around swiftly.

Raina North was dressed in casual wear, in basic black and white, yet this simple attire on her looked stunning, making it impossible to look away.

She entered through the gates of The Veridian Institute like a refreshing mountain spring.

Claire North’s expression stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal. She stood up, her voice gentle as water: "Sister, you’re here? Let me show you around The Veridian Institute. When you return, keep working hard, I believe one day you will be admitted."

"There’s no need."

Claire North’s face showed a look of sadness: "Sister, are you blaming me? But I truly have no other choice."
