Joseph asked, "Has every group finished their reports? Are there any other matters to submit?"According to convention, there would be some allocated time to announce any official submissions to the faculty after the presentations by each research group. Such announcements during the review meeting
Sophie's face had the darkest expression among everyone present. When she heard that Miranda's team was going to build a lab independently, she was initially stunned. Then, she had an incredulous look on her face before finally laughing out loud in ridicule. Building a lab on their own? It might b
After one month and 23 days, two biosafety level-4 laboratories that were fully equipped with smart systems were finally completed at a cost of 16 million following the winter season's third snowfall. Jack and his startup team conducted the final checks on the lab's smart system. Meanwhile, the lab
The first person to receive an invitation was Mason. Since the invite was sent by express mail, Madison mailed it to Gulsberg two days in advance. Mason was puzzled when he got a call from the courier. Had his wife bought something online again? But why would she use his number?Could it be… She bo
Mason handed the invitation letter to Audrey. "Here, see for yourself."She took it with a puzzled expression. After reading it, she was momentarily stunned. "Madison really built a lab…""Our sweetie is every bit as capable as any son, and you're still complaining about her? Hmph, I'm telling you,
"Sit down." Joseph insisted. "Mr. Banks, do you not understand what I'm saying? I'm very busy, and I don't have the time to spare…"Joseph shouted, "I asked you to sit! Are you deaf? Do you need to narrow your eyes at me while I talk to you? Who do you think you are? I show you some respect, and yo
As night fell, the moonlight shone bright and clear. A gust of cold wind blew. Miranda walked to the main entrance of the lab and looked back for a moment. Then, she said, "Transcend, turn off the lights."A robotic voice sounded out of nowhere, "Miranda, please verify authorization."When she look
Miranda opened the car door and was about to get out. Suddenly, Sam called her back, "I have another question."She turned back. "What question?"Sam waved the invitation in his hand. "Does Hansel have one?"Miranda deadpanned, "Can you not mention him?""Well, as expected. I just wanted to confirm.
Miranda glanced at her phone. It was a call from Paul. "Hello, Paul, Merry—"Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of heavy breathing on the other end. Taken aback, Miranda froze for a moment. "What's…""Come outside, Mimi.""What?""I'm out front at your entrance. Come out."As
Austin stuck out his tongue at Yale. "Uncle Yale, shame on you! How can you compare yourself to little kids?" Yale was at a loss for words. Great, he thought, even the kids were bullying him.Suddenly, Susan thought of something and asked, "By the way, where's Paul?" "Oh, he got a phone call earli
Jenny was shocked. "Are they really that powerful?""Of course!" Quincey couldn't help but sigh. "I can't help but admire Miranda sometimes. Back when she needed money, she latched onto a rich young scion. Now that she's still young but craving for status, she went straight for a prominent academic
"Well, Dad and Mom still have a few jars left," Jenny said. "After thinking about it, we really shouldn't turn down Lionel's and his family's good intentions. Oh, right. Quincey, we still have to visit your maternal grandparents for Christmas. Let's head back now."The other members of the Sutton fa
Miranda walked over with a bright smile. "Aunt Jenny, the reason I gave the project to Jack back then was because we were working on a tight budget. Other smart home renovation companies were quoting too high. "Secondly, Jack's team was truly capable and qualified to handle the job. I would've like
Jenny had heard from other relatives some time ago that Jack's company was growing rapidly. His business had boomed so quickly that they could barely keep up with the demand. She had felt a little envious when she first heard the news. Jenny hadn't seen it with her own eyes and didn't know just how
Jenny's words dripped with sarcasm. It felt like someone had hit the pause button on the originally cheerful atmosphere as the smiles on everyone's faces froze. Lionel scratched his head and replied politely, "We were just lucky…""Oh please, don't be so modest! I've got terrible luck, and everyon
Mindy maintained a polite smile. "It's the thought that counts. After all, we're family. There's no need to compare."With that, Cynthia's expression softened into a genuine smile. "Mindy, you really do have a way with words. No wonder you're a famous writer."Jenny hadn't managed to gain the upper
Rena's smile widened and looked more genuine. "These are not cheap, right? You're really too much. We're just having a Christmas dinner with family, so there's no need to bring all these gifts."She wasn't like Jenny, who couldn't stand seeing others doing well. Her brother-in-law's success was a g
