How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 352

Elodie was well aware of Abbott's reputation.

He had been Charlie Sterling's very first doctoral student-the earliest batch to study and do research under the renowned academician. Now, Abbott held a senior position at the institute, a leading figure in the country's top scientific circles.

After Sylvie lost her shot with Dr. Sterling, Professor Abbott was her best remaining option.

Alexander, ever blunt, didn't bother sugarcoating it. "Finding her way to Professor Abbott was a smart move. At least this way, Sylvie still keeps a foot in the research institute. I'd bet Jarrod had a hand in this—he's always plotting behind the scenes."

Elodie kept her eyes on the computer monitor, the glow of intricate code reflecting in her gaze, her fingers never pausing on the keyboard. "With Jarrod steering from behind, Sylvie hardly has any real obstacles."

Sooner or later, it was inevitable they'd all run into each other at the institute.

Alexander gave a short laugh and shrugged. "Your graduate exam scores blew everyone out of the water. Honestly, Sylvie's only shot at competing with you on equal footing was through this entrance exam. She's desperate to break into this field, but sooner or later she'll realize that even after giving it her all, she still can't reach your level."

Let alone ever truly go head-to-head.

Elodie's results weren't just impressive-they were the highest ever recorded in the program's history.

If she wanted, she could probably ride on the dean's shoulders through campus and he'd just grin and compliment her on her form.

He could only hope Sylvie would be able to handle the disappointment when reality set in.
