The Lost Heiress 299

Chapter 299 The Face Behind the Mask

What Sierra feared most was that Azure might be involved.

She prayed with everything she had that it wasn’t true–but reality always had a way of cutting deepest.

When Johnathan hung up the phone, he turned to look at her. That one glance was all it took for Sierra to understand. She let out a bitter laugh.

“It really was… Azure?”

“Yeah, He’s the one who altered the data.” They were in the same lab every day. If Azure wanted to mess with something, it would’ve been easy.

“Why?”

Sierra struggled to accept it. “Was it for money?”

Out of all her seniors, aside from Autumn, Azure had been her favorite. She never imagined he’d do something like this.

“It wasn’t just about money.”

There was something deeper–jealousy.

Azure wasn’t the most naturally gifted. Even those who joined after him, like Autumn and Erwin, had more raw talent.

Still, their abilities only went so far. Professor Martin would scold all of them from time to time.

But everything changed when Sierra showed up.

Professor Martin appreciated her. Most of what he said to her was praise. To motivate the others, he often used Sierra as an example.

The pressure on Azure had already been mounting. He was hoping to stay on and apply for a lecturer position, and Sierra’s presence brought a new kind of stress and threat he hadn’t anticipated.
