They were even provided with an endless stream of research funding.
Because Mr. Harrison worked there, Marington College enjoyed a highly elevated status on the international stage.
This was exactly why Isabella Lancaster had always been so proud to be a student at Marington College and boasted about trying to become Mr. Harrison's pupil.
If Mr. Harrison's team failed this project.
Elyndor would undoubtedly suffer a massive humiliation on the academic stage, giving the Global Ivy Syndicate the perfect opportunity to trample all over them.
Serena raised an eyebrow. "So, you want me to join Marington College and help you fix the project?"
Mr. Harrison's eyes grew red, looking incredibly pitiful. "Us old bones are useless, which is why we have to trouble you."
"As long as you're willing to go to Marington College, you just need to put your name on the roster and offer a word or two of guidance at critical moments."
Serena looked at the old men, who were all practically weeping and putting on a miserably tragic display. She let out a sigh. "Alright, alright. It's not that big of a deal. There's no need to cry like I'm bullying the elderly."
"Y-you agree?" Mr. Harrison's eyes instantly lit up.
"Yeah." Serena glanced at her dumbfounded family members. "Besides, my family wants me to experience college life anyway."
"Experience college life?" Mr. Harrison was bewildered.
Did someone of her caliber really need to experience that?
He quickly pulled out a document. "Here is the formal appointment letter for a special professorship at Marington College. The school and the team have already signed it. You just need to sign your name, and you'll be the core member of our team!"
Serena glanced at it. "I don't want any professor title. Arrange for me to be an auditing student and attach my name to your project."
Mr. Harrison looked shocked. "You want to attend classes at Marington College?"
Serena nodded.
Mr. Harrison hesitated. "But won't that... feel like a demotion for you?"
"No." Serena said evenly. "I don't like being high-profile. Being a student is fine. And don't come looking for me in public unless it's necessary."
Mr. Harrison glanced at the Lancaster family and suddenly understood.
She was now the young heiress of the Lancaster family.
