Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Clara’s POV:

55

Maria still had a few more weeks left at the facility, her treatment an official success. She’d spent Thanksgiving in the facility, so the Taylors all celebrated their. This year, I went back to Glendale with Gloria and Casey as we spent Thanksgiving with his family. I even got to see my friends Christine and Terra. They updated on what was going on with

the Grangers.

“Girl!! It’s been total chaos at your father’s company since you left!”

Terra stated as she ate her pasta. Christine nodded her head in agreement. Christine’s father was one of the professors at LexU. He’d informed her of all the chaos Jameson caused at the school the day he tried to get Clara removed.

“Yeah it’s been pretty bad. Your dad wasn’t aware you transferred to Osha. He showed up right after the gala demanding you be removed. It was a mess! When he finally learned you transferred, he became the laughingstock.”

Terra chimed back in.

“Buuut…. that didn’t stop him from using his connections to get his hairbrained daughter

into LexU.”

Clara chuckled slightly; she wasn’t the least bit surprised.

“Oh! And get this, her and Jason are supposed to be announcing their engagement at this

year’s Bio–Summit.”

The annual Bio–Summit is an event where all the top biochemical and pharmaceutical companies gather for awards and to announce new medical breakthroughs. My mother won several awards at this event in the past. No one from JGP has won since. Ethan had actually won the past two years for his breakthrough with nano technology in medicine and surgery and Jason want’s to use that as the time to propose…interesting. As if reading my mind, Terra responded.

“Apparently they’ve maid some type of medicinal breakthrough that’s supposed to sure win of this year’s award.”

Hmm.

I pondered what it could be that they discovered or created that made them feel so confident. Oh well, it didn’t matter, I was happy with what me and Ethan accomplished even if the whole world wasn’t aware. Changing the subject, Christine brought the topic

back to me.

“So, how’s Springsten and Osha been? I see you’re close with Ethan Taylor! No wonder he cursed them all out for you!”

Terra’s eyes beamed at me as I blushed. Honestly, Ethan and I hadn’t known each other the night of the gala. Over the past few months however, a bunch of pics had been posted by Gloria, Casey, Owen, and Ethan’s family. Many of them showing us all either working in the lab, over each other’s houses, or hanging out. Many people would comment under the posts I was tagged in.

[OMG! Is there a new romance brewing between the Chairman and the world’s youngest bio genius!]

[Talk about a possible power couple!]

[Wait…I thought she was engaged to someone named Jason???]

[Not anymore! I heard he’s with her sister!]

[What! Trifling!]

[So, wait, he left biochemical genius for the less significant sister?]

[RIGHT!]

For the most, Clara ignored many of the comments on social media, none of that mattered to her. Still, it brought her joy knowing Sophie and Jason would be angry reading those type of comments. Smiling thoughtfully, Clara answered Christine.

Chapter 96

“It’s actually been amazing. A real life changer. Osha, that school is truly on another level! LexU really has to step their game up if they want to compete!”

Terra and Christine listened on with bright eyes. Osha being a high tech school for biochemistry and pharmaceuticals had always been a top subject so hearing that the rumors were true wasn’t a surprise at all. Terra arched her eyebrow, a slight smirk on her

face.

“And Ethan Taylor? Are those rumors true?”
