The Lost Heiress 313

Chapter 313 A Seat at the Table

A few days later, Sierra received a call from the school.

It had been over a month since the incident with Azure, and Capital Academy had finally reached a decision.

It had to be said–Capital Academy was nothing like Northwind University. When something happened to their group, Capital didn’t rush to distance itself. Instead, they did everything they could to protect everyone involved.

Word had it the president of Northwind had been trying to pull strings behind the scenes—if not for that, even Professor Martin might’ve been caught up in the fallout.

The call today was to let them know they’d be resuming classes next week. They’d still be under Professor Martin, just temporarily removed from the national research projects.

To Sierra, this was incredible news. She’d been sure Professor Martin wouldn’t take them back. The fact that everything was staying the same–it was the best possible outcome.

́Everyone else got the news too, and their usually quiet group chat suddenly lit up with excitement.

Sierra couldn’t wait to share the news with Johnathan. She didn’t want to wait for him to come home, so she headed straight to his office.

It was just around lunchtime when she arrived. She’d planned to grab a meal with him–what she hadn’t expected was to find Quinn already there, sitting in his office. And in front of Johnathan was a full spread of homemade dishes–it was obvious Quinn had cooked everything herself.

Seeing Sierra, Quinn greeted her warmly.
