Chapter 155 Meeting Professor Lockwood
âWhatâs going on?â Emmett naturally knew who Quincy was, given that he was quite intrigued by her research. He believed this young lady had a knack for medical research and with the right guidance, she could even become a renowned pharmacist.
After catching her breath, Quincy smiled and replied, âWhen I heard you were looking for me, of course [ had to hurry over!â
As she spoke, she playfully batted her lashes. It was apparent to everyone else that Quincy had always been a lively and sensible girl.
Emmett chortled heartily. âThereâs no need to rush! Come here, girl. I called you over because I have a few questions to ask you.â
As he spoke, he glanced at Calista, a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. Though he wanted to chat with Calista, Quincy was of greater importance at the moment. He wanted to be Quincyâs mentor, so naturally, he needed to know her thoughts on the matter.
Upon seeing the dismissive look in Emmettâs eyes, Calista suddenly laughed. âItâs all right, Iâm Quincyâs sister. Feel free to speak your mind, Professor Lockwood. Iâm curious to see how much my little sister has grown to have impressed you.â
âQuincy is your sister?â Professor Lockwood only then realized that they both shared a surname. That explains it. It is a rather uncommon last name.
Emmett glanced at them with a hint of envy. The Staffords had made their fortune through pharmaceuticals, a fact wellâknown in their industry. Though they had no sons, they had successfully raised two incredibly talented daughters. The elder daughter was universally admired for her genius, and the younger one was just as gifted. Their good fortune was truly unparalleled.
Emmett smiled and cordially replied, âAll right, Calista. Feel free to stay and listen-
Before he could even finish, Quincy interjected sharply. âNo way!â
She anxiously looked at Emmett, her eyes darting over quickly as she hurriedly said, âProfessor, although my sister and I are from the same family, our household has a tradition of healthy competition. I donât want my sister to see my research results, lest she becomes jealous!â
Quincy spoke, her lips puckering in a pout, as though she was playfully petulant and willful. She appeared to be afraid that others might steal her technique.
Itâs perfectly normal for her to feel this way.
Emmett fell silent, considering that Calista was indeed a renowned genius. If there was discord between the sisters, he really couldnât unjustifiably reveal his future apprenticeâs research secrets.
âGiven the circumstances, Calistaâ¦â Emmett glanced apologetically at Calista, his intention to dismiss her clear.
Calista couldnât believe how thickâskinned Quincy was. Competition within the family? How utterly ridiculous!
âDonât worry, Quincy. I have never stolen anyone elseâs work. After all, Iâm not so shameless. As the saying goes, âan older sister is like a mother. Iâm merely here in our fatherâs place to observe. Iâm well aware of

Calistaâs pointed words made Emmett feel somewhat awkward. It seemed that the relationship between these two sisters was indeed fraught with tension.
At that moment, a womanâs voice unexpectedly cut in. She was laughing, but her words were caustic.
âWell, Callic. Quincyâs parents are you to intervene for now.â
I alive and kicking, so thereâs no need f
It was none other than Yelena, dragging Benedict along with her. Benedictâs expression was extremely unpleasant, but for some unknown reason, he still accompanied Yelena to campus.
Calistaâs eyes narrowed slightly, as a flash of icy anger passed through them. However, the smile at the corner of her mouth became even more captivating.
Why are you here, Dad?â
Meanwhile, Quincy also let out a sigh of relief. She ran over, took Yelenaâs hand, and called out, âMom!â
Then, Quincy let out a somewhat frightened call, âDad?â
With a dismissive grunt, Benedict ignored her. He turned toward Calista, giving her a nod. After a moment of hesitation, he said with some difficulty, âCallie, just head back to class!â
Calistaâs smile momentarily froze, before turning even brighter. âIâm currently on my break,â she explained. âI was just about to review Quincyâs assignment. After all, her grades have always been subpar. If I spot any issues early on, I can guide her in the right direction to avoid unnecessary issues,â
Benedictâs face turned grimmer as he understood what Callie meant. She was dead set on exposing Quincy. To him, this was like choosing between two sides of the same coin. Quincy had already been humiliated once. If she was humiliated again, how would she ever be able to marry in the future?
So, he hurriedly said, âIâm here. Iâll hold the fort, so just get to class.â
Yelena also quickly chimed in. âExactly. Weâre all here, so whatâs there to worry about? Or are you implying that once youâve entered the Fairchild family, you can thus stop listening to your father? That would be quite disrespectful!â
Emmett finally sensed that something was amiss. âWhatâs going on? Could there be an issue with the research assignment?
âNo, not at all! Professor Lockwood, please bear with us, thereâs a slight issue with our Callieâ¦â Yelena pointed at herself, smiling sheepishly. âBut itâs okay, Iâll take her away immediately. Weâll be leaving Quincy in your care!â
Yelena was well aware that Bayview University was a prestigious institution teeming with renowned experts from across the country. Only by catching the eye of a good mentor could one truly acquire substantial skills. Among all the university mentors, Professor Lockwood, standing right before her, was the most famous.
As Quincy pursued her postgraduate studies, Professor Lockwood could introduce her to more advanced mentors. This could allow Quincy to get ahead of everyone else without needing exams.
After completing her studies, Quincyâs career starting point was going to be much higher than most others. Even if she eventually worked in the family business, sheâd carry an air of confidence that commanded respect.
