"So Ivy, how have you been these years?"
Master Gard’s words carried a sense of care. Since Ivy Kensington returned to the country, he was the first one to actively inquire about her well-being.
Her heart warmed, and she smiled, "Teacher, thank you for your concern. I’ve been doing okay these years."
Though she’s endured some hardships, she’s gotten through them.
Master Gard felt relieved and continued, "The laboratory was rebuilt two years ago, and the Datura project has made some progress. If you want to come back, you’re always welcome here."
Upon hearing this, Ivy’s eyes flickered, and she nodded.
Since returning, The Ford Group is managed by Ethan Ford, and soon Ginny and Cody will be back too. She needs to find a way to make money. Besides, the Datura project is also her hard work, and she can’t just ignore it.
At this time, in the laboratory.
Nina Shaw walked out being adored by everyone, because four years ago she provided a plan for the complete extraction of Datura, giving the previously stalled project a new breakthrough.
Now, Nina Shaw is the sole person in charge of the Datura project.
Everyone in the lab looks up to her.
After having been continuously frustrated by Ivy for the past two days, Nina returned to the lab feeling uneasy and lashed out at her assistant, "Are you useless? Can’t even pour a cup of coffee without burning my tongue?"
After saying this, she flung the coffee away.
"Nina, I... I’m sorry."
The steaming coffee splashed onto the back of the assistant’s hand, who apologized fearfully, not daring to complain.
No one in the lab dares to offend Nina Shaw.
Nina impatiently waved her hand, "Leave."
The assistant quickly left with the coffee, grimacing from the pain on her hand but not daring to say more. Just then—
Ivy Kensington walked in, grabbed the assistant, and her eyes fell on the assistant’s hand with red blisters that were shocking to see.
Ivy took out some homemade herbal ointment from her bag and handed it to the assistant, "Quickly take care of this, or your hand will be ruined."
The assistant, who had only been there for two years and didn’t know Ivy, thanked her gratefully, "Thank you!"
Nina Shaw noticed Ivy at first glance, instantly gritting her teeth in hatred. For more chapters visit Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
That bitch, why is she back in the lab?!
At this moment, Wayne Ward came out with the lab members, and upon seeing Ivy, he exclaimed excitedly, "Ivy, Master said you returned, but we didn’t believe it. Now, we finally see the real you."
Wayne was wearing a white lab coat, but the identification on it no longer said core herbal developer.
Ivy narrowed her eyes.
Wayne noticed her gaze, scratched his head awkwardly, and explained, "Ivy, I should tell you upfront, Nina now holds all the say in the Datura project. We, the former group, have all been pushed out of the core herbal development center. The Datura project is basically all her people now."
Ivy raised her eyebrows in surprise, wondering if Nina was really capable of this. It was unbelievable.
Wayne continued, "It’s all because Nina provided the Datura extraction plan. None of us have the capability to do that."
Being edged out for this reason, there’s nothing more they can say.
Ivy pondered, furrowing her brows.
At this moment, Nina approached with her people, looking down at Ivy, "Since you’re back in the lab, I now require you to clean my office, immediately!"
