Chapter 95
As Mia listened to the conversations in the video call, she turned away and rolled her eyes. Seriously? These idiots still hadn’t figured out what Luna was up to? she had to admit. She hadn’t spected that country girl Lima–who’d somehow made it into university–to have the nerve to refuse rejoining Wilson’s team
Did he whisper sweet nothings in her eat, and now, she thought she could stand up to them?
Country folk were just like that–naive and shortsighted. She had no sense of where the field of medical research was headed. Choosing some obscure specialty?
she’d be lucky to stay in Velmora after graduation, let alone get into a national research institute. What was her plan, going back to her village and becoming a

“You don’t need to go that far,” Wyatt said as he fumowed his brows
To be honest, she shouldn’t be coming back. We’ve already apologized. That’s the end of it. No more talk about it going forward.
“And you-Trevor, Bessel—especially you two. Don’t act like we wronged her. Whatever her reasons, things tumed out exactly how she wanted. She’s got no right tomo trouble for the team.
ence descended upon the call, which ended soon after.
Wyatt was frustrated as he tossed his phone aside. He had been considering asking the others to give Luna another chance–not because he cared, but because he hated the idea of losing that bet
As if he didn’t know that the person calling him out online was Rhett! He could take a loss from anyone except him.

“A young lady with great resolve. The future holds great things for her.” Chony God! She thought that bold guy was just so sweet right now

She raised her hand to block it, then slowly spread Berfingen, letting the light shine through. And then… she smiled.
She was back. She was no longer the pitiful girl from her past life–the one everyone bullied and ignoted,
She would no longer try to please anyone, nor would she beg or abase herself. She was going to live with dignity and self–worth from now on
Luna got up to wash, but her phone rang. It was Talia, and he sounded excited
“There’s one drama poing on Are you going to campus today?”
War and of drama?” she asked, still a little groggy
