NovelEnglishThe Lost Heiress 292 When the Flof Love Fades Chapter 292: Set Up Finished Sierra found the old man's comments amusing and couldn't help laughing. “Well, if she's difficult, then your grandson's the one who has to deal with her! Isn't that a good thing? Let him suffer a little." Mr. Wynn paused, then nodded in agreement. "You're not wrong," ShJohnathan was a pain in every other way-but at least the boy had good taste.
After just a short conversation with Sierra, Mr. Wynn could already tell this girl was the real deal. It almost felt like a waste, pairing someone like her with his little troublemaker of a grandson.
"Where do you live, sir? Is it far?” Sierra asked.
She'd assumed he lived somewhere on campus, but when she saw him heading for the front gate, she realized she was wrong.
"A bit far, but it's fine. Someone's coming to get me. You go on now. If fate allows, we'll meet again," Mr. Wynn said with a casual wave.
"Alright!" Sierra replied cheerfully and headed off to hail a cab.
Moments after she left, a long luxury car pulled up in front of Mr. Wynn. The butler stepped out quickly to greet him.

Mr. Wynn could criticize the young master all he wanted-but no one else was allowed to. After all, he'd personally said Johnathan was the one who most took after him.
Sierra didn't think twice about the encounter. She had no idea who she'd just been talking to.
With Dickson's school situation handled, she dove back into work.
Lately, her professor had been collaborating with the Institute of Astronomical Research, so she and her team were stationed there assisting with the project. Johnathan hadn't been too busy these days and had been driving her to and from work. Draven once joked that not even foreign royalty got this kind of treatment.
Sierra just smiled and let it go. She knew Johnathan was only temporarily free. The Zach family had been just his first step.
Based on everything she knew about him, Johnathan wasn't done. He was just taking a break. She could only hope no one else poked the bear.
She'd been worried about what trouble might cfrom his side-but in the end, it was her own that fell apart first.
The project she was leading hit a major snag. One of the key datasets failed at a critical moment. Since this was part of a national collaboration, the situation escalated fast.
1/2 Chapter 252 Set Up Finished The day it happened, her professor immediately depped in to handle the negotiatione but i didn't go well Sierra's dataset had been pivotal. Because of the error, werke of research had gone in wade And since it involved the national prerarch institute, the consequences weren't minor. Sierra was taken in for investigation Professor Martin tried to intervene but conddn't stop them "My gut says Sierra wouldn't make a mistake like that, Autumn said urgently. "Something's not right.
Professor Martin agreed. Sierra had been working under him for over two months now. Apart from Johnathan, she was easily the most gifted student he'd ever had.
There was no way she'd mess up like that.
But right now, they couldn't do anything.
"Wait-what about that Mr. Draven?" Autumn perked up. “He's got a pretty high position at the Institute. Maybe he can help Plus, Draven and Sierra seemed to get along fairly well.
He'd never snapped at her-his worst offense was dragging her into late-night overtime.
It was a solid lead. Professor Martín nodded. "Try to reach him. I'll think of something else on my end "What about Mr. Yaeger?" Azure asked.

"He'd only worry-and he wouldn't be able to help much anyway." What Professor Martin didn't know was Johnathan's true identity. He just didn't want to risk making things worse.
The others agreed and split up-Autumn went to find Draven while Azure and the rest began investigating the source of the data issue. Meanwhile, Sierra was already being interrogated.
Back in a now-familiar room, she couldn't deny she was inervous especially since this time, it was far more serious. There was even talk of potential data leaks. Over and over, they asked the squestions. Her answers never changed.
No one else handled the data-it had been her work. But what she turned in wasn't the sdata she'd submitted. Somewhere, something had gone wrong.
One thing was painfully clear: someone had set her up.
But who?
