Chapter 220: Tonight It’s Just the Two of Us

(Elena’s POV)

As security escorted Sophia Rivers away, I noticed her eyes–filled not with fear or shame, but

pure unwillingness. The look of someone who’d never tasted defeat suddenly forced to

swallow it whole.

I calmly withdrew my gaze, refusing to give her the satisfaction of my attention.

“I didn’t expect that paper was originally yours,” Professor Andrew Kelly approached me, his voice heavy with regret. “It’s all my fault for believing her words without investigating

properly.”

He sighed deeply, his shoulders slumping slightly.

“If you weren’t Professor Theodore Ashworth’s student, I would really want to take you back to Moonridge Territory with me.”

I shook my head, feeling uncomfortable with his praise. “That paper was considered absurd by many at the time. Even I wasn’t confident about it.”

My fingers fidgeted with the edge of my lab coat. “But it was you who allowed that ‘absurd theory‘ to be witnessed and validated in werewolf brain medicine. I still have much to learn

from you.”

Professor Kelly laughed heartily, the sound echoing in the now–empty conference chamber. “I really want to accept you as my student.”

“Recruiting my student right in front of me?” Professor Theodore Ashworth’s voice came from behind us. “That’s not appropriate, Andrew.”

He approached with measured steps, his eyes twinkling with amusement despite his stern

tone.
