All Chapters of Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Chapter 811 - Chapter 820

"Truth be told, Professor King, I haven't considered the details. I was planning to fine-tune them until after the project was approved. Sorry. I must have underestimated the size of the undertaking," I said, feeling crestfallen.I had no prior experience in research and development. Professor King's questions revealed the challenges I would face and made me realize how difficult pursuing this path would be. However, I would not be fazed by this adversity. I would not give up easily because the idea remained an interesting one."Must you lead a research team? Do you not want to do something else? 99% of the students I supervised only focused on their art. While their academic performance was nothing to write home about, those pose low risk."Knowing your capability, you can easily get your Master's degree. Pigment is a niche subject, and it is very difficult. If your research bears fruit, you might revolutionize the whole industry. You will leave a legacy, but every legacy is founde

Upon mentioning Jasmine's name, my mind went blank, and everything instantly made sense. It was unheard of for a college to approve a research project without funding it. Could it be… I looked at Professor King in shock. The latter nodded with a smile.My hypothesis had been affirmed, and rage immediately overtook me. Jasmine was such a bitch!"If their research projects were approved, all post-grad students at the college are required to sign a contract, in which the patent ownership, thesis authorship, and profit distribution would be specified. Make sure you have that in mind. You're my student, so there's nothing much I can do."Find yourself an experienced lawyer so you won't find yourself at a disadvantage legally. If your research succeeds, many people will want a part of the gold mine you discover. When that happens, the contract will be the only thing protecting you. Do you understand?"The challenges Professor King enumerated were difficult but not insurmountable. If Jasm

I told Nico about the important and intriguing part of my research project before sincerely inviting him to join me. I assumed he had to think about it since he studied graphic design. Paints were definitely out of his comfort zone. To my surprise, Nico said yes almost immediately.I had to swallow back the persuasive words I was about to utter, and it almost made me choke. It was as if I brought cannons to conquer a land but the people surrendered immediately before I could whip my weapons out. The surprising outcome made me reevaluate my own assumptions and prejudices.Did I just convince a smart guy to join my team without any persuasion? How anti-climatic. But I loved the outcome."Nico." Originally, I didn't want to tell him about the lack of funding. But since he agreed to join my team this easily, I'd feel bad if I didn't tell him the whole picture. Besides, in a team, teammates should be open about themselves. Otherwise, there'd be no teamwork. "I need to tell you something.

That wasn't true. Colin, my boyfriend, was one of the two men who loved me the most in this world. He wouldn't want to steal my light or want me to rely on him forever. In the past, my presence was barely noticeable because I was complacent.I hid under Colin's wings and didn't have to worry about a thing. I could do whatever I wanted. But now, I was no longer the sheltered Luna. I wanted to be an eagle who could soar through the sky. I wanted to be independent and support Colin, not burden him.Several days ago, I was still resenting Jasmine. But not anymore. Thanks to her dirty tricks, I learned to be mature, to defend the ones I held dear, and to stand my ground.She reaffirmed my determination to become stronger and fight with Colin. In a sense, I should thank Jasmine. Her relentless assault forced me to grow up. "Colin is the sun, and I'm the moon. Without the sun, I won't be able to shine no matter how hard I try. Love is a mutual commitment. Colin gave me his heart, so I'll

"Sorry, Nico. I'm the reason you went viral." I snatched my phone back and sent a simple apology.Queenie knew all my social contacts by heart. When she saw that I was texting someone with a profile picture she had never seen before, she squinted her eyes and interrogated me, "Is it a guy? Who is he? Come clean now."Stunned, I looked at the phone in my hands instinctively. This felt odd because the way she interrogated me didn't sound like she was a good friend of mine but a jealous husband. Queenie wasn't bisexual, was she? Was I the reason why she rejected Andrew? Why didn't I know anything about it?Huh, no! She was straight. Very straight. Anyway, if she was straight, why was she glaring at me? Why was she doubting me? She was my best friend. Shouldn't she trust me?"It's none of your business. You should mind your business with Andrew." I grabbed her hands and put them inside the washing liquid. I decided to walk past her and left her alone in the kitchen washing dishes. "N
