บท 253: Nidia Could Always Rely on Jackson

<Gentle means he's weak? Researchers are among the greatest people contributing to society, but his grandfather thinks it's a useless career?>

"In terms of ambition and resourcefulness, I'm no match for Jackson nor my peers.

My grandfather told my father that if someone were too reliable and honest, they'd never achieve great things in certain fields. In this complicated society, a suitable amount of slyness is what a person should have."

Theodore then chuckled at himself for a moment before he choked out, "I've loved research since the beginning, but my career ended with just a word from my grandfather."

By then, Nidia's gaze at Theodore was laced with sympathy.

Back then, everyone within the industry knew about Theodore's interest and talent in research.

Being a researcher was no easy job. Even if he were capable and talented, his career would still be in the hands of a prominent figure like Derek.
