Chapter 281: Chapter 281

Skylar Hughes held back her excitement, trying to appear calm and reserved.

However, Professor Lancaster still didn’t remember who Skylar Hughes was, so he couldn’t say anything.

Skylar Hughes started speaking herself, "Professor Lancaster, have you finished reading my thesis?"

Professor Lancaster, "...?"

Skylar Hughes humbly said, "I know it’s my first time writing a research paper, and there are many areas that are not very well written. If I could receive guidance from you in person, I would definitely make great progress!"

Professor Lancaster was utterly confused, what thesis?

Skylar Hughes continued, "I’ve admired Professor Lancaster for a long time. Actually, I’ve always thought that if I could be his student, it would be wonderful. Now, I’ve finally gotten this chance. Professor, I know you don’t know much about me yet, so you need to test me more. It’s okay, test away. I will prove with my efforts that I am a qualified student and will shine brightly in the research field in the future, bringing you glory!"

Professor Lancaster suddenly realized, oh, this is the girl his niece was talking about who wanted to be his student.

As for Skylar Hughes’s thesis, he hadn’t read it at all. Such a lousy paper, plagiarizing sentence by sentence, written all over the place, was filtered out by the assistant right away, it could never reach Professor Lancaster.

As for accepting Skylar Hughes?

He remembered he rejected it from the start; he had no interest in those who wanted to ascend to the top overnight.

If Skylar Hughes were truly interested in research, she should be working her way up steadily, step by step. Wanting to be his apprentice right from the beginning is merely seeing him as a stepping stone. There are too many impatient young people nowadays.

Especially now, seeing Skylar Hughes already considering herself his student and having an inflated self-image, Professor Lancaster liked her even less.

Skylar Hughes was still babbling in front of the professor, but Professor Lancaster clearly lost interest in listening.

He wanted to leave, but Skylar Hughes deliberately blocked the way, giving him no chance to interrupt her. So he was forced to stand here, listening to her talk nonsense, expressing some of her insights into physics knowledge.

Meanwhile, Mona Wright stood not far away with a few girls.

Those girls were acquaintances of hers; she had just been telling them that Skylar Hughes was Professor Lancaster’s student, but they didn’t believe her.

"I was just saying Skylar is talented in research, but you still don’t believe that Professor Lancaster really wants to take Skylar as a student? Look, if it weren’t true, could Professor Lancaster be chatting so happily with her?"

The girls looked dumbfounded.

Could it be that Professor Lancaster really took a liking to Skylar Hughes?

"No way? Does everyone have talent? Do you think anyone can be God Sterling? Maybe Skylar Hughes thinks she can compete with God Sterling in the research field and wants to get into the research field? It’s so funny, where does she even get her confidence from..."

"No matter what her intentions are, seeing Professor Lancaster’s attitude, he must value her, right? If she really becomes Professor Lancaster’s student, her future status in the research world would indeed be extraordinary..."

"But it can’t compare to being with God Sterling."

After a while, Professor Lancaster finally managed to break free from Skylar Hughes and left.

Skylar Hughes walked over with a smile; Mona Wright asked immediately, "Skylar, how was it? What did Professor Lancaster say?"

The other girls also looked at Skylar Hughes eagerly.

Skylar Hughes said, "Professor Lancaster tested me on some questions. It’s clear he should be quite satisfied with me..."

Now, Professor Lancaster should have had a change of opinion about her, but he still hadn’t agreed to take her on; he probably wants to observe further.

No worries, talented people can withstand tests. Skylar Hughes was confident she’d be able to pass the tests and become the professor’s student eventually.

Skylar Hughes was now even more eager to spread the news that she was going to become Professor Lancaster’s student.

She even went to the Sterling Family specifically to let Jared Sullivan know about it.

See, even without your help, I can still achieve my goal.

No matter how worried you are, you can’t stop me from shining.

The proud expression on Skylar Hughes’s face was something Jared Sullivan couldn’t miss.

He suddenly found it a bit amusing and asked Skylar Hughes, "I heard Professor Lancaster is going to take you as a student?"

Skylar Hughes was smug but slightly lowered her head, "Yes, Professor Lancaster said I have a lot of talent. Unfortunately, this talent hasn’t been discovered sooner; otherwise, who knows how much I’d have contributed to the country’s technology by now."

Skylar Hughes grew up in the Sterling Family, and now with Sterling Paige also following the research path, this seemed like a jab at the Sterling Family for suppressing her talents, right?

Jared Sullivan’s face remained indifferent; since he didn’t take Skylar Hughes seriously, he was naturally too lazy to argue with her. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩

What abilities Skylar Hughes had was something he was quite clear about.

Heart higher than the sky, fate thinner than paper; always thinks she’s very capable, but actually can’t see her own limitations.

Her stubbornness in entering the research field was merely a confrontation with his Beau.

One has to say that Skylar Hughes really messed up this time, using her weaknesses to collide with Paige Sterling’s strengths, clearly leading to a disastrous defeat.

This isn’t something that a powerful mentor can change, and it’s still uncertain whether this mentor has accepted her, given there’s been no indication from Professor Lancaster regarding accepting her as a student.

However, since it was Skylar Hughes who wanted to bring about her own downfall, he had no time to save her.

So Jared Sullivan said nothing.

Skylar Hughes deliberately asked Jared Sullivan, "Uncle Sterling, what’s the matter? I’ll be in the research field, and I can look after Paige Sterling; aren’t you happy?"

Jared Sullivan looked at her, "As long as you’re happy."

Skylar Hughes smiled, "Of course, I’m happy. In the future, working together with Paige Sterling, the two sisters will surely bring glory to Uncle Sterling, making people envy you wherever you go."

Jared Sullivan, "...", hehe.

Yvette Hughes also laughed along. Being of simple mind, she was genuinely happy for Skylar Hughes, thinking that Skylar Hughes would definitely focus calmly on research in the future without any more scheming.

At this moment, Skylar Hughes asked, "By the way Uncle Sterling, what about Paige Sterling? Has she not been home lately?"

Yvette Hughes answered, "Paige has been busy these days; apparently today some important figures invited her for dinner, so she hasn’t come home."

Important figures? Hehe, isn’t that thinking a bit too much?

With Paige Sterling’s situation, even if she clung to those important figures, they wouldn’t necessarily pay her any attention, right?

At this moment, Paige Sterling was indeed having dinner with several important figures, and of course, it wasn’t just her, but all the members of the lab.

Because the lab’s mecha had now started being deployed in defense operations.

Although due to limitations such as materials, they can’t be deployed on a large scale, just having a few already makes them a national treasure.

So these important figures all wanted to personally thank Paige Sterling and her lab.
