Chapter 80 Sierra’s Showtime
Finished
Seeing Lily’s disbelief, Sierra forced a smile and explained. “It’s true. Grandma. Mr. Yeager is really impressive; he’s not even thirty yet, and he’s already a big shot. I admire and respect him!”
Yes, her feelingstowardsJonathanwere just respect and admiration
Hearing this, Lilyrelaxeda bit. She had been around the blockafewmore times than Sierra. Jonathan seemed approachable, but Lily could sense a deep–seated aloofness in him. Getting close to such a person could only end in getting hurt.
Moreover, even without Sierra saying so, Lily could guess his status from Jonathan’s clothes, his demeanor, and the car he
drove.
If Sierra had been on good terms with the Xander family, perhaps there might have been a chance for her and jonathan. But now that Sierra had distanced herself from the Xander family, the gap between themwasjust too large.
At the end of the day, she just didn’twantLily to get hurt.
The third day arrived quickly, the day Sierra and the university had agreed upon for the exam. She dropped Lily off at the hospital early in the morning before heading to the university.
By now, she could be considered a celebrity at Northwind University. As soon as she entered the campus, everyone turned to look at her, all aware of what was supposed to happen today.
Along theway,she overheard conversations and realized that today’s exam was going to be live–streamed, supposedly for Tairness.
As she approached the academic building. Evan stopped her.
He lowered hisvoiceand said, “The live stream can’t bechangednow, and there’s no way to alter that. Just do your best during the exam, and don’t feel pressured. About the test itself, don’t worry, I’ll helpyouswitchitout.”
Sierra went quiet. Looking at Evan, who seemed ‘genuinely concerned‘ for her, she felt it was laughable. Did he really think he could manipulate everything? Had he considered what would happen to me if things blew up?
And judging by how smoothly he spoke, she guessed, “Is this how Denise got into the biochemistry graduateprogram?”
Evan’s expression changed instantly, “What are you talking about? Sierra, can’t you stop being so prickly? I’m trying to help you!
“Nothanks, I can’t afford your kind of help.”
She feared the consequences that might follow.
“I meant what I said the other day. I won’t bother you, and please, stop doing things you think are for my good. I can’t handle
them
Evan was truly annoyed. He hadn’t had any ulterior motives today, but Sierra didn’t believe him, which frustrated him. They all thought the same–that even if Sierra had nominally severed ties with the Xanderfamily, they were still family and would reconcile eventually.
They always thought Sierrawasjustthrowingatantrum,andthey were annoyed by her unyielding behavior.
Seeing he wasn’t moving, Sierra lost her patience, “PleasemovelOr would you like me tomakeyour offer public? I think theymightfindit very interesting.”
Ivanlooked at Sierra angrily, unable to comprehend why shewasthreatening him when he was only trying to help. He steppedasideandsaid coldly,“We’ll see how you cry later.”
Sierraignoredhim and entered the designated classroom.
Sure enough, several cameras were aimed at her, making cheating impossible. The head of the department officiated with a formal tone, claiming they were adhering to principles of fairness, integrity, and transparency, and he hoped she wouldn’t

Sierra smiled faintly and said. “I hope you really can be fair, just, and open!”
