Chapter 70 

 Jameson POV: 

 As the Grangers made their way to Lowelston Grand Hotel for the g, Jameson was still

 fuming.

 ‘I can’t believe that little bitch dared to kick me!” 

 After ra left, Jameson immediately went to his study fuming. In his haste of anger, he’d forgotten how imperative it was for her to be at the g. Suddenly, Anna walked in with a

 ss of water and an aspirin. Angry, she began to yell.

 “I want you to call the cops on that little bitch for assault!!”

 Jameson scoffed, there was no way he was going to call the authorities about getting his ass

 kicked by his daughter. The embarrassment would be to much to bear.

 “I will do no such thing and neither will you!” 

 Anna’s eyes bulged. She couldn’t believe Jameson would not want to throw ra in jail. Softening her voice, Anna rubbed Jameson’s back.

 “Honey, I know she’s your daughter, but I’m afraid for you! She has crossed the line! Sophie would 

 never-”

 Jameson raised his hand and cut Anna off., 

 “I said no! Do you realize what type of gossip will go draw if people found out I couldn’t control my got damn daughter! No cops! That’s final!”

 Anna sulked, though she didn’t want to admit, Jameson was right. This could potentially backfire if word got out about transpired today. <fndb8d> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n </fndb8d>

 “Well then what are we going to do? She can’t get away with this!” 

 Jameson kept quiet, right now his mind was on the g. He knew Taylor would not want to go into business with him if he did not produce ra.

 “Jameson, do you hear me? What are we going-”

 “That’s enough Anna!” 

 Startled, Anna backed into thew chair with a shocked look, Jameson had never raised his voice to her. Anna’s eyes began to water in confusion.

 “Jameson…”

 Jameson looked at Anna, his expression began to soften, he hadn’t meant to take his anger out on her. Speaking in a calmer tone, he grabbed Anna’s hand.

 “I’m sorry dear. I didn’t mean to yell at you. That little runt! She’s causing more trouble than she’s worth! If I can’t get her to that g tonight we’re screwed.” 

 Puzzled, Anna waited for Jameson to exin. Why was it so important for her to be at the g.

 “Jameson, I don’t understand. Why does she have to be there?” 

 Jameson looked over to Anna. After exhaling, he began to exin the events that took ce at the meeting that morning. Anna stood shock, what in the world was going on! Why had Chairman Taylor requested that girl and with to such a degree! None of it was making any

 sense.

 “I just don’t understand this! Do they know each other?”

 “I don’t see how. Taylor is usually on the west continent, and even when he does travel, he neveres this way. He knows Glendale and the entire northern continent is dominated by

 JGP.”

 Anna began to pace.

 “So, what are we going to do if she doesn’t’arrive tonight?”

 Jameson pondered nervously, he hadn’t had a chance to think of a n B. He was so sure ra would be grateful of him allowing her back home. In the past, even the smallest kind gesture would be enough, but now, now she was a totally different person. Completely uncontroble. He had to think of a way to regain his control over her if he was going to use her genius to

 expand his business.

 Picking up his phone, he immediately called his assistant.

 “Find ra and bring her back to the estate now!” 

 Jameson barked his orders to his assistant leaving little room for questions.

 “Yes sir!” 

 Click.

 Edward’s POV: 

 He wasn’t sure why, but clearly Jameson had been lying about the rtionship he had with his daughter. Though Edward knew he favored his adoptive daughter, he never thought Jameson was </ipletely estranged. But something Taylor said at that meeting was gnawing at his brain like a mouse with cheese. 

 ‘You really don’t know why I’m interested in your daughter?‘ 

 Those words kept haunting at him. Why was he so interested in ra. Edward wasn’t unaware of her brilliance, but surely that wasn’t enough to go through such lengths just to work with her. After–all, Ethan Taylor was a pioneering genius himself, the nano technology he advanced for medicine was nothing short of amazing. There had to be more. As Edward pulled up to LexU, he hoped his answers would be here. The school was practically empty now that the school year was over, but he knew the dean would still be in. Walking into the front office, the receptionist’s head popped up in surprise. 

 “Mr. Williams! Wee back to LexU! What brings you here today?”

 Letting out a bright smile, Edward thanked the receptionist for the warm wee and informed her he was looking for Dean Woodcrest. 

 “Oh, absolutely! Dean Woodcrest is in his office. Let me call him now. Please have a seat.” 

 Edward nodded his head with a smile and sat in the waiting area. A few moments <iter, Woodcrest walked into the front office. 

 “Edward! What brings you here today?” 

 Edwards immediately stood shaking Dean Woodcrest’s hand.

 “It’s been a while I know. I need toe visit more often, take a look at what some of the promising new students are up too.”

 **“Think nothing of it, I know you’re working hard at JGP.“*

 Edward almostughed out loud at thatment. If only Woodcrest knew just how he’d been working to help thatpany grow.

 “Absolutely! Still, I’m excited to see what new talent will be </iing through those doors! We’ll have 

 a full inter program next year so I’m excited to meet the new talent.” 

 “That’s wonderful! The students will definitely be working hard to be epted. I can honestly say we’ve had some bright and amazing talent these past few years.”

 Edward so that as his way in to ask about ra.

 “Speaking of new talent, how has ra been doing?”

 Dean Woodcrest paused for a brief as they made their way to his office. Walking into the office, Woodcrest motioned for Edward to take a seat. A serious expression on his face.

 “ra Gra–Rouleau?” 

 Edward’s brows furrowed. When did ra start going by Rouleau? A dark cloud started looming over his head like a bad omen. Something was wrong. Maintaining his lightposure, Edward smiled faintly.

 “I wasn’t aware she started going by Rouleau.” 

 “Well, it came as a bit of shock to us when she put the request in, but I wasn’t too surprised. Afterall, her mother was the true genius. Though, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, I think ra 

 may have surpassed her.”
