Suddenly , Anna walked in with a glass of water and an aspirin . Angry , she began to yell . " I want you to call the cops on that little bitch for assault !!

" Jameson scoffed , there was no way he was going to call the authorities about getting his ass kicked by his daughter . The embarrassment would be to much to bear . " I will do no such thing and neither will you ! " Anna's eyes bulged . She couldn't believe Jameson would not want to throw Clara in jail . Softening her voice , Anna rubbed Jameson's back . " Honey , I know she's your daughter , but I'm afraid for you ! She has crossed the line ! Sophie would never- " Jameson raised his hand and cut Anna off . , " I said no !

Do you realize what type of gossip will go draw if people found out I couldn't control my got damn daughter ! No cops ! That's final ! " Anna sulked , though she didn't want to admit , Jameson was right . This could potentially backfire if word got out about transpired today . " Well then what are we going to do ? She can't get away with this ! " Jameson kept quiet , right now his mind was on the gala . He knew Taylor would not want to go into business with him if he did not produce Clara . " Jameson , do you hear me ? What are we going- " " That's enough Anna !

" 1/4 Chapter 70 Startled , Anna backed into thew chair with a shocked look , Jameson had never raised his voice to her . Anna's eyes began to water in confusion . " Jameson ... " Jameson looked at Anna , his expression began to soften , he hadn't meant to take his anger out on her . Speaking in a calmer tone , he grabbed Anna's hand . " I'm sorry dear . I didn't mean to yell at you . That little runt ! She's causing more trouble than she's worth ! If I can't get her to that gala tonight we're screwed . " Puzzled , Anna waited for Jameson to explain .

Why was it so important for her to be at the gala . " Jameson , I don't understand . Why does she have to be there ? " Jameson looked over to Anna . After exhaling , he began to explain the events that took place at the meeting that morning . Anna stood shock , what in the world was going on ! Why had Chairman Taylor requested that girl and with to such a degree ! None of it was making any sense . " I just don't understand this ! Do they know each other ? " " I don't see how . Taylor is usually on the west continent , and even when he does travel , he never comes this way .

He knows Glendale and the entire northern continent is dominated by JGP . " Anna began to pace . " So , what are we going to do if she doesn't'arrive tonight ? " Jameson pondered nervously , he hadn't had a chance to think of a plan B. He was so sure Clara would be grateful of him allowing her back home . In the past , even the smallest kind gesture would be enough , but now , now she was a totally different person . Completely uncontrollable . He had to think of a way to regain his control over her if he was going to use her genius to expand his business .

" Yes sir ! " 2/4 Chapter 70 Click . Edward's POV : He wasn't sure why , but clearly Jameson had been lying about the relationship he had with his daughter . Though Edward knew he favored his adoptive daughter, he never thought Jameson was completely estranged . But something Taylor said at that meeting was gnawing at his brain like a mouse with cheese .

' You really don't know why I'm interested in your daughter ? ' Those words kept haunting at him . Why was he so interested in Clara . Edward wasn't unaware of her brilliance , but surely that wasn't enough to go through such lengths just to work with her . After - all , Ethan Taylor was a pioneering genius himself , the nano technology he advanced for medicine was nothing short of amazing . There had to be more . As Edward pulled up to LexU , he hoped his answers would be here . The school was practically empty now that the school year was over , but he knew the dean would still be in .

Walking into the front office , the receptionist's head popped up in surprise . " Mr. Williams ! Welcome back to LexU ! What brings you here today ? " Letting out a bright smile , Edward thanked the receptionist for the warm welcome and informed her he was looking for Dean Woodcrest . " Oh , absolutely ! Dean Woodcrest is in his office . Let me call him now . Please have a seat . " Edward nodded his head with a smile and sat in the waiting area . A few moments later , Woodcrest walked into the front office . " Edward ! What brings you here today ?

" Edwards immediately stood shaking Dean Woodcrest's hand . " It's been a while I know . I need to come visit more often , take a look at what some of the promising new students are up too . " ** " Think nothing of it , I know you're working hard at JGP . " * Edward almost laughed out loud at that comment . If only Woodcrest knew just how he'd been working to help that company grow . " Absolutely ! Still , I'm excited to see what new talent will be coming through those doors ! We'll have 3/4 Chapter 70 a full inter program next year so I'm excited to meet the new talent .

" " That's wonderful ! The students will definitely be working hard to be accepted . I can honestly say we've had some bright and amazing talent these past few years . " Edward so that as his way in to ask about Clara . " Speaking of new talent , how has Clara been doing ? " Dean Woodcrest paused for a brief as they made their way to his office . Walking into the office , Woodcrest motioned for Edward to take a seat . A serious expression on his face . " Clara Gra - Rouleau ? " Edward's brows furrowed . When did Clara start going by Rouleau ?

A dark cloud started looming over his head like a bad omen . Something was wrong . Maintaining his light composure , Edward smiled faintly . " I wasn't aware she started going by Rouleau . " " Well , it came as a bit of shock to us when she put the request in , but I wasn't too surprised . Afterall , her mother was the true genius . Though , and I can't believe I'm saying this , I think Clara may have surpassed her . " Chapter Comments
