CHapter 255


    Outside theb, ra, with her unruly hair that hadn’t seen ab in days, squatted on the


    ground, her short locks a tangled mess from constant scratching.


    Not far behind her stood the head of theb.


    *ra, we admit theb’s at fault here. We’ll straighten things out with the staff. You can’t just think


    about resigning every time something goes wrong!”


    ra’s talent in research was well–recognized in the field. Her rise to her current position at such a


    young age was certainly helped along by the Schnabel family’s support, but it was also due to her


    own hard work and intelligence.


    Even among prodigies, ra stood out!


    “I won’t approve your resignation! Both personally and for the sake of our country, we need you to


    stay and shine in your role!” His words were eamest and sincere.


    ra dusted off her hands and stood up, pointing at a form on the ground. “Boss, I recalcted


    that data from before, and it’s


    correct.”


    The head of theb was taken aback! He thought ra was just doodling in the dirt out of


    frustration, cursing those responsible. But she was actually recalcting data?


    “Boss, I came here because theb’s research aligns with my expertise, not to get caught up in


    petty squabbles.”


    She nced indifferently at her sweating boss.


    *I’m not resigning on a whim. It’s just that my sister told me there’s no need to put up with


    nonsense. People were insulting me to my face. Was I not supposed to respond? They’re idiots,


    and I’m supposed to just take it? Why?”


    The boss was at a loss for words. Indeed, he had asked ra to be more tolerant towards the new


    interns, but wasn’t that just how things work? With ra’s family background, she shouldn’t have to


    bother with those fresh graduates!


    ra kicked her suitcase beside her. “Sorry, but they’re older than me! It’s their first time being


    human, and I’m not here to y daddy. If theb can’t handle this, then maybe you’re not up to the


    job.”


    To openly tell the boss he’s ipetent, ra was the first.


    The boss grew angry. “ra, what do you mean by this? Don’t think just because you have the


    Schnabel family behind you, you can do whatever you want in the scientificmunity! Those are


    just newly graduated students; they may be clueless, but why are you acting clueless as well? Our


    researchb has been turned into a mess. Nowe back with me to the meeting, and I might let


    this slide!”


    ra rolled her eyes.


    She saw the Cullinan parked not far away, with Beckett stepping out and walking towards her.


    Theb head’s gaze flickered. He knew Beckett, but he hadn’t expected him to show up over such a


    trivial matter!


    Wasn’t ra just an adopted daughter of the Schnabel family?


    Beckett approached, asked no questions, grabbed ra’s suitcase and her hand. “Let’s go home.”


    ? ?? ü ?? ? ? ?? ? ?? üE #??? ?? ? ?


    “Okay!”


    As they drove away, leaving theb head behind without a second nce, Beckett asked, “What


    happened?”


    ra sniffled, trying to act nonchnt as she shrugged. “A few interns told me to get lost right to


    my face. No big deal, but they stole my unpublished research data, iming there were issues


    with it and that I didn’t deserve my position.”


    These interns, fueled by some brazen background, were extremely offensive in their remarks. They


    even imed that ra was an unwanted child by the Schnabel family, desperate and clinging to


    them, trying to steal Ms. Schnabel’s belongings. They suggested that her own parents didn’t want


    her and called her a wild child.


    After sharing this, ra hung her head, her voice muffled and low. “Sorry for the trouble, Beckett.”


    Beckett frowned, his voice stern. “When did this start? How long has it been going on? Why didn’t


    you tell us?”


    “It started as soon as I joined theb. I didn’t want to cause any trouble for the family…”


    “What do you mean trouble? If you consider me your brother, then don’t talk like that! I’ll get in


    touch with your supervisor. I’ll handle this!”


    “Thanks, Beckett.”


    ra’s spirits were low, her eyes red as if she’d been crying. Seeing her like this, Beckett felt a


    headacheing on. ra wasn’t much older than Noe, still a kid in many ways, needing her


    family’s support, yet she bore everything on her own.


    But all he did was pat ra’s head, saying nothing.


    10:28


    Maybe it was time to have a serious talk with the Pock family about this!


    The roar of the helicopter swept across Glen Vige, stirring up a storm.

    Noe removed her helmet and unbuckled her safety belt, her cool gaze tinged withplexity.


    Stepping out of the college gates, she saw Palmer waiting and realized his car hadn’t moved all


    morning!


    When had he be so free as to wait for her all day?


    Then, hearing she needed to return to Glen Vige, Palmer insisted oning along!


    Seeing Palmer instruct Annie to inform Beckett, Noe swallowed her initial refusal.


    Knowing she was with Palmer would indeed make the Schnabel family feel more at ease.


    Palmer, nursing an injury, had Noe as his pilot on the way.


    Upon disembarking, Nn was there to greet them.


    “Boss, your brother’s been staying at Verdant Garden for the shoot, but a couple of days ago, some


    overzealous fans showed up.”


    Stirling, a superstar in the entertainment industry with millions of fans, indeed attracted numerous


    obsessed followers. If not for the weight of the Schnabel family name, which those fans dared not


    provoke, they might have even shown up at their doorstep.


    Sienna mentioned that in Stirling’s early days, fans would camp outside the Schnabel family home!


    Stirling’s agent, upon seeing Noe, felt like he had seen a lifeline!


    “Ms. Noe, those hardcore fans must have found out that Stirling was filming in the countryside,


    where security isn’t as tight as in the city. They actually sneaked around the vicinity of Verdant


    Garden, and someone even climbed up to the roof from a tree in the middle of the night.”


    Verdant Garden was an old house, not very tall, so climbing up to the rooms via the roof at night


    was certainly possible. Hearing this, Noe’s brows furrowed in concern. “Hasn’t Stirling ever filed


    comints against those people?”


    “He has, and it seemed to have reduced the harassment to just some annoying texts, so Stirling


    didn’t take it too seriously.”


    It never crossed Stirling’s mind that someone would actually climb into his room via the roof in the


    dead of night!


    As Noe entered Verdant Garden, she noticed several roof tiles had fallen off the second floor.


    When Stirling decided to stay at Verdant Garden, he had asked for Noe’s permission to use her


    room, leaving the neighboring room, which belonged to Old Mrs. Lambert, for Yasbel.


    Nn added, “I even heard Yasbel’s cries for help. By the time I got there, they were gone.”


    Yasbel was a former free–fighting champion, and now she had disappeared along with Stirling.


    Ordinary entertainment industry fans couldn’t possibly pull off something like this!
