Everyone paused in astonishment.
Right, it’s currently a competition between two research teams.
But the result is already clear as day, what’s the point of the competition?
However, procedures must still be followed.
Crowe stepped forward and said, "We’ve studied it, and Apothecary North wins." Afraid of being misunderstood by others, he quickly added, "I mean Raina North, Apothecary North. No one else."
Claire North felt she had never been so humiliated and embarrassed.
Aaron Warren looked at the goddess beside him, whose face was ashen, feeling heartbroken. He intended to console her, but under the current circumstances, he couldn’t find a single comforting word.
The gap between the two was simply too vast.
Wanda Woods said, "As a highly respected elder in the field, Crowe will present the award to the winner. Raina, Leila, please come forward."
Leila Foster was so excited she shook Raina’s arm vigorously, "Raina, we won, we won!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel_fіre.net
Raina looked at the young girl’s happy expression and suddenly felt that her sleepless nights of research had paid off in the best possible way.
She gently ran her fingers through Leila’s hair and smiled, saying, "Yes, we won."
Seeing the smile on Raina’s face, Leila felt inexplicably touched. Finally, those people wouldn’t dare to recklessly slander Raina anymore.
At this moment, Elias Hawthorne suddenly spoke, "I have decided to appoint the winner as the Chief Pharmacist of the Hawthorne Group’s biotechnology company."
As soon as Elias spoke, the atmosphere in the lab surged to its peak.
Who doesn’t know that the Hawthorne Group’s biotech company is renowned worldwide? Even working as a mere assistant there would bring pride to one’s family, let alone as the Chief Pharmacist.
It’s a position even Master Zane wouldn’t dare covet.
But now it was actually given to Raina.
Even though Claire North knew Raina’s life would be vastly different from today onward, she couldn’t control her murderous urge.
Why do you always oppose me!
Eighteen years ago, you stole my life! Then you took Elias Hawthorne! Now you want to step on me to reach the pinnacle of life!
However, no one cared about her feelings. This world is always the most cruel to the losers.
As the center of attention, Raina stood up and said, "Thank you, President Hawthorne, for your regard. But please forgive me for not accepting the position of Chief Pharmacist. If the Hawthorne Group is willing, I’d be grateful if a lab could be provided for me.
As for this new drug, it still has flaws that need improvement, and it can only treat one type of cancer. We have a long and arduous journey ahead."
Elias said, "The Hawthorne Group is willing to offer Apothecary North all the support needed, and as for the position of Chief Pharmacist, you don’t have to refuse. Having more options is always a good thing."
Raina, seeing no way out, reluctantly agreed, "Alright then."
Her reluctant demeanor brought another wave of praise from the elders around her.
If she didn’t have real skills, how could she look down on a position at the Hawthorne Group’s biotech company as a pharmacist!
That’s a position everyone fights tooth and nail for.
Especially since Raina is so young and talented, what this implies is self-evident.
Crowe felt triumphant and said, "With Apothecary Raina around, that Ghost Doctor Nowhere is nothing special anymore!"
Having repeatedly requested to meet Nowhere and being ruthlessly rejected, Crowe harbored great resentment.
Raina raised an eyebrow, casually glanced at Crowe, and thought, fine, I’ve noted that.
Claire, listening to the crowd’s agreement and their praise for Raina, could no longer hold back.
