<b>Chapter 96 </b>


    ra’s <i>POV</i><i>: </i>


    <b>55 </b>


    Maria still had a few more weeks left at the facility, her treatment an official sess. She’d spent Thanksgiving in the facility, so the Taylors all celebrated their. This year, I went back to Glendale with Gloria and Casey as we spent Thanksgiving with his family. I even got to see my friends Christine and Terra. They updated on what was going on with


    the Grangers.


    “Girl!! It’s <i>been </i><i>total </i><i>chaos </i><i>at </i><i>your </i><i>father’s </i><ipany </i><i>since </i><i>you </i><i>left</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Terra stated as she ate her pasta. Christine nodded her head in agreement. Christine’s father was one of the professors at LexU. He’d informed her of all the chaos Jameson caused at the school the day he tried to get ra removed.


    <i>“</i>Yeah it’s <i>been </i><i>pretty </i><i>bad</i><i>. </i><i>Your </i><i>dad </i><i>wasn’t </i><i>aware </i><i>you </i><i>transferred </i><i>to </i><i>Osha</i><i>. </i><i>He </i><i>showed up </i><i>right </i>after <i>the </i><i>g </i><i>demanding </i><i>you </i><i>be </i><i>removed</i>. <i>It </i><i>was </i>a <i>mess</i><i>! </i><i>When </i><i>he </i><i>finally </i><i>learned </i><i>you </i>transferred, <i>he became </i><i>the </i><iughingstock</i>.<i>” </i>


    Terra chimed back in.


    “Buuut…. that <i>didn’t </i><i>stop </i><i>him </i>from <i>using his </i>connections <i>to </i>get <i>his </i><i>hairbrained </i>daughter


    into LexU.”


    ra chuckled slightly; she wasn’t the least bit surprised.


    “Oh! And get this, <i>her </i><i>and </i><i>Jason </i><i>are </i>supposed <i>to </i><i>be </i>announcing <i>their </i>engagement at this


    year’s Bio–Summit<i>.</i><i>” </i>


    The annual Bio–Summit is an event where all the top biochemical and pharmaceuticalpanies gather for awards and to announce new medical breakthroughs. My mother won several awards at this event in the past. No one from JGP has won since. Ethan had actually won the <b>past </b>two years for his breakthrough with nano technology in medicine and surgery and Jason want’s to use that as the time to propose…interesting. As if reading my mind, Terra responded.


    <i>“</i><i>Apparently </i><i>they’ve </i>maid <i>some </i><i>type </i><i>of </i><i>medicinal </i><i>breakthrough </i>that’s supposed <i>to </i><i>sure </i><i>win </i>of <i>this </i><i>year’s </i><i>award</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Hmm.


    I pondered what it could be that they discovered or created that made them feel so confident. Oh well, it didn’t matter, I was happy with what me and Ethan aplished even if the whole world wasn’t aware. Changing the subject, Christine brought the topic


    back to me.


    “<i>So</i><i>, </i><i>how’s </i><i>Springsten </i>and <i>Osha </i><i>been</i><i>? </i><i>I </i><i>see </i><i>you’re </i><i>close </i><i>with </i><i>Ethan </i><i>Taylor</i><i>! </i><i>No </i><i>wonder </i><i>he </i><i>cursed </i><i>them </i><i>all </i><i>out </i><i>for you</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Terra’s eyes beamed at me as I blushed. Honestly, Ethan and I hadn’t known each other the night of the g. Over the past few months however, a bunch of pics had been posted by Gloria, Casey, Owen, and Ethan’s family. Many of them showing us all either working in theb, over each other’s houses, or hanging out. Many people wouldment under the posts I was tagged in. <fnc67b> Content originallyes from find?novel</fnc67b>


    <b>[</b><b><i>OMG</i></b><b>! </b><b>Is </b><b><i>there </i></b>a <b><i>new </i></b><b><i>romance </i></b><b><i>brewing </i></b><b><i>between </i></b><b><i>the </i></b><i>Chairman </i>and <b><i>the </i></b><i>world’s </i><b><i>youngest </i></b><b><i>bio </i></b><i>genius</i><b><i>!</i></b><b><i>] </i></b>


    <i>[</i><i>Talk </i><i>about </i><i>a </i><b><i>possible </i></b><b><i>power </i></b><b><i>couple</i></b><b><i>!] </i></b>


    [<i>Wait</i><b>…</b><b><i>I </i></b><b><i>thought </i></b><b><i>she </i></b><i>was </i><b><i>engaged </i></b><b><i>to </i></b><b><i>someone </i></b><i>named </i><b><i>Jason</i></b><b><i>???</i></b><b><i>] </i></b>


    <i>[</i><i>Not </i><b><i>anymore</i></b><i>! </i><b>I </b><b><i>heard he’s </i></b><i>with </i><b><i>her </i></b><b><i>sister</i></b><b><i>!] </i></b>


    [<i>What</i><b>! </b><i>Trifling</i><i>!</i><i>] </i>


    [<i>So</i><i>, </i>wait, <i>he </i>left <b><i>biochemical </i></b><b><i>genius </i></b><b>for </b>the <b><i>less </i></b><i>significant </i><i>sister</i>?]


    <b>[</b><b>RIGHT</b><b><i>!</i></b><b><i>] </i></b>


    For the most, ra ignored many of thements on social media, none of that mattered to her. Still, it brought her joy knowing Sophie and Jason would be angry reading those type ofments. Smiling thoughtfully, ra answered Christine.


    <i>“</i><i>It’s </i><i>actually </i><i>been </i>amazing<i>. </i>A <i>real </i><i>life </i><i>changer</i>. <i>Osha</i><i>, </i><i>that </i><i>school </i><i>is </i><i>truly </i>on <i>another </i><i>level</i><i>! </i><i>LexU </i><i>really </i><i>has </i>to step <i>their </i>game <i>up </i><i>if </i><i>they </i>want to <ipete</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Terra and Christine listened on with bright eyes. Osha being a high tech school for biochemistry and pharmaceuticals had always been a top subject so hearing that the rumors were true wasn’t a surprise at all. Terra arched her eyebrow, a slight smirk on her


    face.


    <i>“</i><i>And </i><i>Ethan </i><i>Taylor</i>? <i>Are </i><i>those </i><i>rumors </i><i>true</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
