Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 790

When they arrived at the conference room,

people were already filing in.

After a brief round of polite greetings, everyone took their seats.

This was a massive project. Dozens of corporations had clawed for a spot, and the Davenports were one of the primary partners, providing critical funding and resources.

Today was a major strategy discussion.

Wrapping up her segment,

Zella crossed her legs smoothly. "Everything looks perfect. In fact, I can authorize an increase in funding right now."

The department head was ecstatic. "That would be incredible."

Zella's tone shifted dangerously. "But I have one condition."

She looked straight to the back of the room where Sierra was taking notes. "I want her removed from this research team."

Sierra's head snapped up.

She never expected Zella to strike this viciously.

A massive, state-sponsored project like this...

And she was being kicked out?!

Raelynn arched an eyebrow, looking over.

The department head looked stunned. "Remove that student?"

Zella's lips curled into a predatory smile. "Yes. I want her gone. Now."

She made her disdain abundantly clear.

Dozens of eyes turned to stare at Sierra, draining the color from her face.

Raelynn knew some professors brought their own students in, while others earned their spots through fierce academic competition. Even if they weren't core members, having this project on a resume was a golden ticket for life.

Sierra had likely fought hard in some university competition to get here.

If she managed to see it through to the end,

it would practically guarantee her career.

Zella's demand sent immediate ripples of frantic whispering through the room.

A male student couldn't stop himself from speaking up in Sierra's defense. "Sierra is Chairwoman Hayes's granddaughter. Kicking her out like this... isn't that a massive insult to Chairwoman Hayes?"

Bringing up her grandmother was a dangerous game.

It had easily opened the door for her, but it also meant she couldn't openly exploit the connection to save herself.

The department head looked at Raelynn. "What are your thoughts?"

Raelynn leaned back in her chair. "It's the university's decision. As long as the core team remains intact, the rest should be based on a merit assessment."

The department head nodded.

The students were only there to observe and learn anyway; no one actually expected them to contribute.

And the Davenports were one of their most vital sponsors.

Reassigning one intern was completely irrelevant to the grand scheme.

"We'll proceed with that," the department head agreed, seeing that Zella wasn't going to back down. They couldn't afford to anger an investor right now.

He looked at Sierra. "The university will transfer you to another research group to continue your studies."

Sierra turned ghost white.

She never dreamed that when Zella said they were "talking business," this was what she meant.

No history.
