As the daughter of the Lancaster family, the wealthiest family in Vaelion City, when had she ever been forced to wait like this?
She had always been the center of attention.
To her, this was an utter humiliation!
But looking at the rows of Department of Defense guards outside the institute's entrance...
If she hadn't shown her D-University student ID to prove she had passed Mr. Harrison's initial assessment and was about to become his student, she probably wouldn't even have been allowed to wait at this gate.
Isabella waited and waited.
Finally, she saw a man in an institute lab coat and glasses hurrying over.
"lan!"
Isabella's eyes lit up, and she immediately went forward to call out to him.
He was a student from D-University, also one of Mr. Harrison's students, and was highly regarded by him.
She had previously gone to great lengths to become Mr. Harrison's student.
Over time, she had gotten to know this favored student of Mr. Harrison, Ian Walters.
"Isabella?"
lan's gaze fell on Isabella's exquisitely made-up face. He pushed up his glasses and flashed what he considered a dashing smile. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for Mr. Harrison." Isabella looked at lan expectantly. "Ian, I've been waiting here for a very long time, but I haven't seen Mr. Harrison come out. Could you please let him know I'm waiting for him at the gate?"
lan looked at the girl's beautiful figure and her luxurious outfit, and his eyes glinted behind his glasses.
He smiled. "Isabella, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you've come at a really bad time. Mr. Harrison is so busy he hasn't even had a moment to eat. Look at me, I was called in to help the second I got back to Vaelion City."
Isabella clutched the research papers to her chest, bit her lower lip, and her eyes reddened slightly.
When she had first passed Mr. Harrison's initial assessment, he had told her to come find him anytime if she ran into trouble with her experimental thesis or needed help.
She hadn't expected... was it really such bad timing?
"Isabella, you should come back another day. I have to get back to work." lan took out his phone. "How about we exchange.contact info2l let you know when things cau down."
The smile on Isabella's face froze. She naturally understood lan's intentions.
Her slender fingers tightened. Her
eyes red with unwillingness, her tone became even more delicate. "lan,
please just go ask forme
What
what Mr. Harrison is willing to
make time for me when he hears it's
me?"

As she spoke, she waved the papers in her hand. "I just want Mr. Harrison to glance
at my paper. Five minutes, just five minutes, okay?"
Come back another day?
Go back just like that?
No way.
She couldn't bear to tell her family that she couldn't even get a meeting with Mr. Harrison!
She couldn't let her family think she held no importance in Mr. Harrison's eyes!
Besides, if she went back now, wouldn't that wretched Serena laugh at her? Wouldn't she think that all her gloating from this morning was just an act?
Anyone could look down on her.
But not Serena. Absolutely not.
She took out her phone, speaking in a soft voice, "lan, you're so important to Mr. Harrison. If you mention it to him, I'm sure he'd be willing to make time for me..."
Before she could finish, her voice trailed off Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a familiar
figure Serena dressed in a whi top and black pants, carrying a
canvas bag!
