It was because of me that its research and technology had reached world-class standards. Because of me, the university had secured countless top-tier resources.
Even this very laboratory existed only thanks to the donation of the world-renowned Bulwark Group.
Yet Professor Laird looked me up and down with nothing but disdain. Then, turning toward Xaviera, her expression shifted in an instant, breaking into a warm smile.
“Xaviera, how’s your dance rehearsal coming along? I heard the Bulwark Group will arrive today and tomorrow is the official welcome ceremony. That’ll be your moment. I’m certain your performance will amaze everyone and bring great honor to the school.”
“I’ve been ready,” she said proudly, then let her smile falter with a touch of sorrow. “But after the way she shrieked at me today… I feel so upset. It’s making me lose all focus on my performance.”
Zack immediately added, “If you upset Xaviera and she fails at the welcome party and the Bulwark Group takes offense, you’ll be guilty for life!”
Professor Laird’s expression shifted at once.
