Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 71

“Burn those who burned me!”

Chapter 71

Edward’s POV:

Edward sat wordless and in shock. Clara surpassed Caroline, was something like that even possible? In order to surpass Caroline, she would have to have invented some type of cure. Caroline single handedly pioneered some of our most advanced medicine and technology. Confused, Edward stayed silent as Woodcrest continued.

“I mean, when I found out she was doing lab tutoring helping even some of our most advanced seniors in Bio–Organic chemistry I knew she was going to be something special. With her help our test scores increased over 78 percent for students scoring 90 and above!”

All of this information was crashing into Edward like a tidal wave! When did Clara start tutoring courses? Was Jameson aware of all she had been doing here at LexU. Suddenly, while deep in thought, Woodcrest said something that snatched Edward back to reality.

“What did you say?”

He looked at Woodcrest like he grew another head.

“I know right! Creating a cure for the common cold! Imagine what that will do for future cures and supplements. The possibilities are going to be endless! I know Jameson can’t wait to-”

Edward cut Woodcrest off. What the hell was happening! When did Clara create a cure!

“Are you telling me, Clara, a mere sophomore, created a cure for something not even the world’s top biochemist and pharmacists have been able to create?”

It sounded basic, but in reality, curing the common cold was nothing short of amazing. Being able to stead a cure for baseline of majority diseases and infections could possibly open the door to everything from pneumonia to advanced covid and flu infections. Not to mention the breakthroughs it could open for cancer, AIDS, etc. How was this possible!

Woodcrest looked confused; he was sure Edward would have learned all of this from Jameson.

“Sophomore, she was still a freshman.”

Edward’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. A FRESHMAN! This was impossible!

“Woodcrest, do you hear what you’re saying? I know the girl is intelligent but even her mother…”

Edward’s words trailed off. There was no way Woodcrest was being truthful. Or maybe he

meant she was on the path to finding a cure. But when Edwards looked into Woodcrest’s eyes, he could see the slight disdain.

“Edward, I would never lie on my students. Honestly, I can’t believe you didn’t know any of this. I figured Jameson wouldn’t allow her to begin trials for that or the cancer treatments, but I assumed-”

Edward held his hands up.

“Whoa, what cancer treatments?”

Puzzled.

“Shortly after she created the common cold cure she naturally started working on cancer treatments. She’s been trying to create a medication that would heal and restore damaged or lost blood cells, that would not only remove the cancer but ensure it wouldn’t grow back. I believe she’s come close. I think the only thing that has stopped her is not being able to do any trials.”

There it was. THAT was why Taylor wanted to work with her so badly. Woodcrest was right, Clara had indeed surpassed her mother, in fact, she’d surpassed just about every scientist and

biochemist throughout the world and if they didn’t act fast, JGP would lose that brilliance.

Edward quickly stood up. He shook Woodcrest’s hand thanking him for seeing him today.

“I just wanted to make sure she was excelling here! I’m sure you know she’s the future of JGP.”

“Oh, of course! Hey, I know Jameson has big plans for her. That’s why I was so surprised when she

transferred.”

Edward’s smile faded in an instant. Transferred?

“What are you-”

Before Edward could get his question out, Woodcrest continued.

“Not to mention how heartbroken we as well as our students were! I mean the entire sophomore and freshman class equates her tutoring to why they passed!”

“Woodcrest, where is she transferring too?”

Woodcrest once again looked at Edward with confusion, had Jameson also not informed him of this?

“Why she’s going to Osha.”

Osha! As in Osha university in Springsten! That school was on the other side of the world!

CRACK.

Whatever piece of hope Edward felt instantly crumbled. Clara was going to Osha and to make matters worse; Jameson was none the wiser. Not to mention, now Taylor would no longer need JGP in order to work with her. Word was bound to get out that his star prize would be attending his alma mater.

Edward left LexU with a heavy heart filled with anger. Jameson had single handedly just destroyed any chances of JGP ever going global all because of his inferiority to his dead wife and daughter. Edward was no fool, he knew the real reason Jameson favored that fool of a daughter and her mother was because of his ego. Constantly falling into the shadows of Caroline left a bitter mark on him and it was no different with his genius daughter. One thing was clear for Edward, tonight would be his last night at JGP Corp.
