Chapter 80 Sierra’s Showtime

Finished

Seeing Lily’s disbelief, Sierra forced a smile and exined. “It’s true. Grandma. Mr. Yeager is really impressive; he’s not even thirty yet, and he’s already a big shot. I admire and respect him!”

Yes, her feelings btowards /bbJonathan /bwere just respect and admiration

Hearing this, Lily brxed /ba bit. She had been around the block ba /bbfew /bmore times than Sierra. Jonathan seemed approachable, but Lily could sense a deep–seated aloofness in him. Getting close to such a person could only end in getting hurt.

Moreover, even without Sierra saying so, Lily could guess his status from Jonathan’s clothes, his demeanor, and the car he

drove.

If Sierra had been on good terms with the Xander family, perhaps there might have been a chance for her and jonathan. But now that Sierra had distanced herself from the Xander family, the gap between them bwas /bjust toorge.

At the end of the day, she just didn’t bwant /bLily to get hurt.

The third day arrived quickly, the day Sierra and the university had agreed upon for the exam. She dropped Lily off at the hospital early in the morning before heading to the university.

By now, she could be considered a celebrity at Northwind University. As soon as she entered the campus, everyone turned to look at her, all aware of what was supposed to happen today.

Along the bway/bb, /bshe overheard conversations and realized that today’s exam was going to be live–streamed, supposedly for Tairness.

He lowered his bvoice /band said, “The live stream can’t be bchanged /bbnow/b, and there’s no way to alter that. Just do your best during the exam, and don’t feel pressured. About the test itself, don’t worry, I’ll help byou /bswitch bit /bout.”

Sierra went quiet. Looking at Evan, who seemed ‘genuinely concerned‘ for her, she felt it wasughable. Did he really think he could manipte everything? Had he considered what would happen to me if things blew up?

And judging by how smoothly he spoke, she guessed, “Is this how Denise got into the biochemistry graduate bprogram/b?”

Evan’s expression changed instantly, “What are you talking about? Sierra, can’t you stop being so prickly? I’m trying to help you!

“No bthanks/b, I can’t afford your kind of help.”

She feared the consequences that might follow.

“I meant what I said the other day. I won’t bother you, and please, stop doing things you think are for my good. I can’t handle

them

Evan was truly annoyed. He hadn’t had any ulterior motives today, but Sierra didn’t believe him, which frustrated him. They all thought the same–that even if Sierra had nominally severed ties with the Xander bfamily/b, they were still family and would reconcile eventually.

They always thought Sierra bwas /bbjust /bthrowing ba /btantrumb, /bband /bthey were annoyed by her unyielding behavior.

Seeing he wasn’t moving, Sierra lost her patience, “Please bmovel /bOr would you like me to bmake /byour offer public? I think they bmight /bbfind /bit very interesting.”

bIvan /blooked at Sierra angrily, unable toprehend why she bwas /bthreatening him when he was only trying to help. He stepped baside /bband /bsaid coldly, b“/bWe’ll see how you cryter.”

Sierra bignored /bhim and entered the designated ssroom.

Sure enough, several cameras were aimed at her, making cheating impossible. The head of the department officiated with a formal tone, iming they were adhering to principles of fairness, integrity, and transparency, and he hoped she wouldn’t

Sierra smiled faintly and said. “I hope you really can be fair, just, and open!”
