Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Ethan POV:

After the meeting with Jameson, Ethan headed back to his hotel. Something was going on between Jameson and Clara, he obviously wasn’t aware of all she’d accomplished over the past two years like finding a possible cure for the common cold. More importantly, he couldn’t have been aware about the breakthrough she made regarding a medication that kills cancer cells without the need of radiation and without causing stress to the human body.

Ethan Taylor was the second oldest child of four; an older brother and two younger sisters. His parents, Joseph and Arla Taylor had been married for over 30 years always displaying the epitome of love and grace. His father was the chairman of NovaTech; a global Techware company that specialized in nano technology. His brother Corey was currently the president and being poised to be CEO. Joseph’s original plan was to have both sons take over the family business, however, after his youngest sister Maria got diagnosed with Leukemia, Ethan took a special interest in biochemistry.

By age 21, Ethan founded ETP, which quickly became one of the world’s top global biochemic and pharmaceutical corporations. This was mostly due to him figuring out how to incorporate nano technology into surgery. Over the past two years, he managed to build a biochemical empire, still, with all of his genius, he hadn’t found a cure to cancer. During his school and college years, he’d studied many of the biochemical greats, however, it wasn’t until he started reading the thesis and equation marks from Caroline Rouleau, that he felt he may have a chance to break that code. After he graduated Osha, he spent endless nights looking into the latest upcoming biochemist checking to see if they made breakthroughs.

He’d been short of disappointment, until he came across Clara Rouleau formally Granger. From the moment he saw her he’d instantly recognized her. Though they never met, she was dead ringer for her mother. He spent so many nights reading her research, he could practically see her in his dreams. He’d learned of her genius following her academic career and was highly impressed, but it wasn’t until the end of her freshman year that he was convinced she would be the one that would take medication and medicinal practices to the next level.

While he was thinking about Clara, his assistant Owen walked into his room with a folder filled with documents. Putting his glasses on, Ethan reached for the folder. As he read through, his eyes darkened. As expected, Jameson was not a good father to Clara. Based on the information Owen gathered, it seemed he preferred his illegitimate child Sophie over her. Throughout the years following her mother’s death he’d become increasingly cruel and often abusive. Owen managed to speak with some of the maids on the estate and they’d all said the same thin Jameson Granger was an incredible father to Sophie and a horrible one to Clara. Someth Listen the report however did catch his attention, something he hadn’t expected to see. Placing the

folder on the desk, Ethan had a sinister smile on his face.

“Huh, looks like I’ll be able to work with Ms. Rouleau without Jameson after all.”

Owen sat at the desk grabbing the folder.

“Yes, I was actually quite surprised, she’s transferring out of Lexington for Osha. Considering he hasn’t been to LexU in over two years; I doubt Granger is aware.”

Ethan sat in silence for a moment, his wheels turning as a plan was forming. Owen looked at Ethan with a puzzled expression.

“So, I guess that means we don’t have to go to ridiculous gala tonight.”

Ethan smiled at Owen.

“Actually, I’d like to go. It’ll be fun watching Jameson squirm as he waits for Clara to arrive.”

Owen’s right eyebrow rose.

“So, you really think she won’t show up at the gala?”

Ethan gave a light chuckle.

“Why don’t we make a friendly wager?”

Owen smiled, curious to see how tonight’s events would pan out, he made a phone call to the

hotel’s luxury clothing store and ordered two suits for him and Ethan.

-Clara’s POV:

I arrived back at the Granger Estate that noon after celebrating with Gloria and Casey the night before. I dreaded having to go back, but I needed to the rest of my mother’s journals. The mineral I needed for my cancer medication had finally been created. Over the past two years I’d followed the company that specializes in medicinal minerals and herbs. In my previous life, I was able to use a mineral named artasium, when paired with the right substance, it had the ability to detect and disintegrate irregular cells without attacking healthy cells. Now was the time to begin creating my cancer medication and I would need my mother’s journals to help me.

As I opened the door, I felt a surge of unease. As I walked in, I noticed no one was in the grand room. Perfect. Maybe I can grab my things a leave before anyone notices. The time was 2pm when I finished packing and I was famished. My plan was to head to the hotel and then grab something to

eat. My flight was set to leave at 7pm this evening. Gloria would be picking me up from the airport at 9pm; so, I wanted to make sure I would be at the airport by 6pm. As I made my way upstairs, I could hear voices coming from the kitchen.

Crap.

Coming from the kitchen was my father and stepmother. He looked as if he had been fussing about something. As I turned to leave, he let out a loud scruff.

“Clara!”

He barked my name with grunt and annoyance, clearly he was upset at me. I placed my boxes and bags at the front door and made my way to the grand room where my father was standing, looking at me as if I’d ruined his day.

“Just what the hell are you bringing into this house now! We have enough of your junk in that

basement.”

**“I’m not moving anything in father; I just came home to grab a few things. I’ll be taking my leave.“*

As I turned to leave, he gripped my wrist hard, forcing me to almost stumble.

“Where do you think you’re going. The school year is now over. You should be moving back into the

mansion.”

I stared at my father with a confused expression, I hadn’t been home in over two years and not

once had he asked for me to come home.

“I’m aware the school year is over father; however, I’ve been staying with my friend, so I’ll be

heading back now.”

My father looked at me with impatience. What the hell was going on?

“From now on, you’ll be staying at the estate during all school breaks. Take your junk back downstairs.”
