Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

“What are you smiling about?”

He asked her in a playful tone.

“Just thinking about the first I flew in this.”

“Oh yeah?”

:.

“Emm hmm. I thought someone was trying to kidnap me.”

Hahahahah.

Ethan let out a loud laugh, he could just about imagine Clara fighting back as the security team tried to lead her to the jet.

“Ms. Rouleau, fighting airport security is federal offense.”

Clara laughed.

“Well, maybe if somebody hadn’t been so incognito, I wouldn’t have panicked.”

Ethan chuckled, thinking back to the first time he’d heard her voice on the phone.

‘Pretty sure I was in love then too.‘

As they entered the plane, Ethan led Clara to their seats. Sitting her on his lap, he gazed

into her eyes.

“What a difference a year makes.”

“Emm hmm.”

Clara leaned forward and kissed Ethan passionately.

Chapter 102

Jameson’s POV:

The day of the Bio–Summit, every big name in the medical field was arriving at the Courte‘ Hotel. Jameson along with Anna, Sophie, and Jason had just arrived. It had been almost a year since that disastrous gala. Jameson’s company took a massive hit, as did his reputation. His VP Edward had quit, and Clara ran off to Osha. He could still remember that day, learning she’d left LexU.

Jameson arrived at the school demanding to withdraw her. The receptionist was confused; Clara had already left.

“Mr. Granger, I’m sorry but I can’t withdraw Clara she-”

“Do you know who I am!!! I’m Jameson Granger!!! LexU’s most famous Biochemist! I said withdraw her enrollment now!”

As Jameson yelled, the dean overheard the commotion. Coming out of his office, Woodcrest walked directly over to Jameson demanding to know what this was all about.

“I am trying to cancel the enrollment of my daughter Clara, and this fool of a receptionist is denying my request! Does she not know who I am!”

Woodcrest was confused, did Jameson not know his daughter was already gone, regardless, he wasn’t about to let Jameson disrespect his employees.

“Jameson, you need to calm down-”

“I will not calm down! I want her expelled now!”

“She’s already gone!!!”

Woodcrest barked those words to Jameson who now stood in shock. Lowering his tone, he demanded an explanation.

“What the hell are you talking about?”

Woodcrest was now irritated.

Chapter 102

:

“Look Jameson, I don’t what the hell is going on between you and your daughter, but Clara transferred to Osha on a three year program. She’s not here anymore. And you have no pull

there. Go home.”

Woodcrest walked away, leaving Jameson confused.

Back home, he was fuming.

“What do you mean she left? Where did she go!”

Anna looked at Jameson in complete shock. Sophie and Jason were also confused.

“To Osha! To fucking Osha State University! The top fucking school in the entire world!”

Sophie was livid, she felt like she was eating crushed glass. She’d relished on the fact that her father was getting Clara kicked out of school, and now, not only would that no longer happen, but once again, she was upstaging her in academics.

The year went by in gloom, Jameson was losing funding left and right, after the gala, everyone was afraid to cross Taylor. And then one day, Jason came to him with a huge smile holding a book in his hand.

Clara’s Journal.

What was in it was nothing short of amazing.

“That little bitch! She really created a cure for the common cold and didn’t tell me!!!”

Suddenly Edward’s words began to haunt him. ‘You still don’t know why he’s interested in

her.‘

Jameson was furious until Jason came up with the idea of stealing it.

“No one knows about this right now but us! We can use this to win the summit and get the funding back. With this, you could surpass Taylor!”

And thus, a plan was formed, Jameson planned to present Clara’s equations at the summit tonight as his own.
