The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 277: Becoming an Apprentice

At this mont, she happened to be at Chloe Hughes’ beauty salon. Seeing that she looked unwell, Chloe asked, "What’s wrong? Did your mom say sothing again? Why do you look so upset?"

Skylar Hughes felt extrely aggrieved for a mont and told Chloe about what she had asked Yvette Hughes to do.

"Auntie, tell , is this so hard? As long as she’s willing to plead with Jared, with the child in her belly, wouldn’t Jared agree? Yet she refuses to do even this small thing for . Does she even deserve to be my mom?"

In Skylar Hughes’ view, since Yvette Hughes was pregnant with Jared’s child, if she made a fuss, Jared surely wouldn’t ignore her, right?

But she didn’t do it, so now that Yvette Hughes has a child, she’s caring even less about her daughter.

Chloe Hughes sighed, patted Skylar Hughes on the shoulder, and said, "Auntie has a friend who is nephew to Professor Lancaster; how about I personally ask him for help and see if it’s possible to make this happen..."

Skylar Hughes’ eyes imdiately brightened, and she started speaking nicely, "Auntie, thank you so much! You’ve been the best to since I was little, better than my mom. In the future, when I succeed, I’ll only acknowledge you and honor you..."

Chloe Hughes sighed, "Auntie only has you as her niece; if I don’t care for you, who will? If I don’t think of your interests, who will? Speaking of which, your mom is really sothing. Such a small matter and you, her biological daughter, ask her, and she still doesn’t help. What use is she as Mrs. Sterling? If it were , I would surely consider much more for myself; ultimately, the ones you can rely on are just your own family."

"Auntie, you’re wise, but my mom is just confused."

Skylar Hughes is becoming more and more disappointed in Yvette Hughes.

If Yvette Hughes truly gives birth to a son, she, the daughter, would beco even more irrelevant.

Skylar Hughes even thought that if Yvette Hughes died during the childbirth, it would be better.

That way, as the child’s older sister, she could stay at the Sterling Family to take care of the child.

And since Jared is busy with work, he would surely not have ti to care for the child. Ultimately, who the child is close to and how they grow up would depend entirely on her mood.

Yet, Skylar Hughes was only thinking aloud; after all, Yvette Hughes was still her biological mother, and she couldn’t possibly really kill her own mom, right?

What she needed to do now was to quickly beco a disciple of Professor Lancaster. Having such a teacher would be her living trademark; everyone would flatter her for it, and fa, isn’t it all about being praised by people?

Moreover, she’s inherently talented and smart. She just needs a chance to soar; now she has it. Starting from a higher point, it’s a matter of ti before she surpasses Paige Sterling.

Soon she will beco a person more formidable than Paige Sterling, leaving her with nowhere to stand.

Skylar Hughes began to read books related to scientific research.

Mona Wright ca to find her several tis and was amazed to see the books she was reading.

"Skylar, why have you started reading science-related books recently? Are you planning to get into technology?"

After asking this, she quickly continued, "I heard you resigned from your previous job at the company; what’s going on?"

Skylar Hughes finally managed to get into that company and did a big job; things were going well, and then she suddenly resigned. Mona Wright was quite curious.

Skylar Hughes said, "I suddenly realized that those jobs aren’t suitable for , and they’re not what I want. I’m still young; I should leverage my strengths and boldly chase my dreams. So, from now on, I want to apply my skills and learn relevant knowledge in scientific research to contribute to my future research career."

Didn’t Paige Sterling start as a re amateur too? Since Paige Sterling can learn so much in such a short ti, then with her intelligence, once she enters the field, Paige Sterling would be irrelevant, and the future of scientific research would be her domain.

Mona Wright looked at Skylar Hughes with disbelief; Skylar is already in her twenties, right? Does she still have ti?

"Skylar, don’t you think it’s a bit late to start learning these now?"

Skylar Hughes was full of confidence, "Learning is endless. As long as you’re willing to learn, it’s never too late, and many teachers said I’m talented. As long as I put in the effort, I will definitely make great achievents in the future."

Mona Wright thought, "Could she be driven mad by Paige Sterling’s success?"

Even if Skylar Hughes learns successfully, by the ti she gains fa, Paige Sterling would likely already be at the peak, right?

However, Mona Wright still wanted to support her friend’s dreams.

"Are you planning to self-study then?"

"Of course not," Skylar Hughes said, "My aunt has found a great teacher—do you know Old Professor Keating?"

"Of course, of course, I know. Could your aunt have found Old Professor Keating to be your teacher?"

Skylar Hughes is so lucky to beco a student of Old Professor Keating?

"Not that exactly, Old Professor Keating is too old now, can’t teach students like he used to, but he has a junior fellow who’s quite famous, Professor Lancaster—young and energetic. I hear he is planning to take on students, and my aunt has so connections with him. She will go and ask Professor Lancaster to accept as his student."

Professor Lancaster is indeed quite famous, one of the most reputable among the earlier generation of scientists, besides Old Professor Keating.

"Skylar, is this true? Your aunt is incredible to know soone like this!"

Skylar Hughes modestly smiled, "She’s in business, so her circle of acquaintances is broader."

Mona Wright looked at her with admiration, "So you really plan to pursue the path of scientific research in the future?"

"Maybe,"

Since Chloe Hughes spoke so affirmatively, there shouldn’t be any surprises in Professor Lancaster accepting her as a student.

She told Mona Wright in advance, then let Mona Wright spread the word; building so hype isn’t a bad thing. Let everyone know she’s talented and capable, and has never been inferior to Paige Sterling.

And she has Professor Lancaster as a ntor, so it’s clear that in the future, she would only beco more formidable than Paige Sterling, walking a path that shines brighter.

What’s so amazing about Paige Sterling anyway? Soon, she’ll be left far behind.

The arrogance can only last for a short period.

anwhile, Paige Sterling was having a al outside with Gudes.

Gudes truly embodied perseverance, following Paige Sterling so persistently that she finally agreed that as long as Gudes passed her tests, he could co to the lab and study. If she had ti, she’d personally guide him; otherwise, he’d have to figure things out on his own.

Gudes was overjoyed, bowing to Paige Sterling repeatedly.
