Chapter 237 Evelyn had ranked first in her major. If she hadn't initially married Lucas, Graham wouldn't have been so angry that he needed blood pressure medication.
It was just that, during her university years, the Harrisons didn't care. After she married Lucas, the Grants didn't care either. They only knew she had studied physics just like Leonard and believed it had little practical value for the business.
After marriage, her worth seemed to be reduced solely to her ability to bear children for the Grants. However, later on, they had to evaluate her intelligence to see if she was qualified to have children.
Fiona was indeed shocked.
From her perspective, physics was already an extremely difficult major for anyone wanting to study it in depth. Yet, Evelyn had even taken on another field? She couldn't help but ask, "And the other one?" "It's a complicated matter. Due to your physical condition, I suggest you lean towards computer science." Evelyn did not respond to Fiona's question. Instead, she carefully helped her analyze the pros and cons, along with the various factors one needed to consider within each field.

Jason cover when they had almost finished talking. He smiled slightly upon seeing them chatting happily. He then walked up to them.
"Ms. Reed," he said as he sat down beside Fiona.
Evelyn nodded when she saw him.
"Flying Seal Group still has smatters to attend to, so I might need to head back," she said, not planning to stay longer. She had already told Fiona everything she needed to. What cnext was up to Fiona's personal choices.
Jason pursed his lips. He then pushed a delicately wrapped box toward Evelyn. "I heard it was your birthday the day before yesterday. Although it's a bit late... happy birthday." Evelyn paused slightly and looked at him with suspicion.
He met her cool yet puzzled gaze. His heartbeat faltered for a few beats, but his face remained calm.
"This is a gift I prepared with Fiona," he elaborated.
"Earlier, we noticed that you weren't looking too good. This is a custom-made aromatherapy candle. It should help with your sleep and has calming effects." The refusal that was about to leave Evelyn's lips got caught behind her teeth.
She looked toward Fiona.
The young girl immediately nodded, adding sweetly, "Please accept it, Evie. It's a birthday present, but it's also a thank-you for taking the tto talk withtoday." Only then did Evelyn understand that it was probably Fiona's idea to prepare a gift.
"Thank you," she replied, no longer refusing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe tightness in Jason's chest suddenly eased upon seeing that there was no dislike in her expression.
After Evelyn took her leave, Fiona gave her brother a look of disapproval. "You specially prepared algift for Evie, yet you just had to draginto it. Were you afraid she'd refuse you?" Jason slowly looked away, ignoring her words. Instead, he asked, "What did Evie say to you?" Fiona immediately began talking, excitedly recounting everything from beginning to end.
His initially relaxed expression grew more and more serious, eventually looking shocked. A double degree? Then, what did Evelyn minor in?
Moreover, the advice she had given Fiona was highly professional. It was a thorough analysis based entirely on the general framework of aerospace engineering.
No wonder Quint had praised Evelyn so highly. This depth of knowledge and preparedness was absolutely beyond the level of a mere assistant. Based on what he knew, a physics major could definitely be involved in drone research.
Jason then suddenly thought of Evelyn, who signed as the main person in charge of the Flying Seal Group project...
