Chapter: 543

As soon as Norah let out her biting words, the speculative murmurs among the researchers faded into silence.

Being part of the research institute, the researchers grasped the significance of delivering substantial research outcomes. Sheri had held the helm of leadership of the project teams for so long, but it seemed she hadn't yielded any significant results. Had Sheri failed to steal the research findings due to lack of opportunity? Or was it her own inability to delve into the research?

Sheri's facial expressions shifted dramatically. Having risen to the leadership, she naturally acquired knowledge, but there lurked a shadow from her past. In her youth, she was consumed by vanity and arrogance, resorting to bribery to claim the research of her colleagues as her own. If authorities dug deep, her misdeeds would surely come to light.

The more Sheri ruminated on it, the more embarrassed she appeared.

“Well... Since you're insistent that it's yours, I won't argue further for now. But I'll tell you one thing, there's no white porcelain bottle in this Institute."

Sheri found her resolve again. With that said, she unsteadily rose to her feet, maneuvered through the crowd with some effort, and hurried off.

Maintaining her composed demeanor, Norah opted not to pursue Sheri.

Instead, she turned to Shelton and remarked, “Mr. Davis, your dedication to pharmaceutical research is commendable. But you must oversee the research team, ensuring they uphold ethical standards and evaluating their competence when necessary. This is a matter of utmost importance."

Slipping the porcelain bottle into her handbag, Norah added with a cold tone, “Thank you all for your appreciation. I have other matters to attend to and must take my leave. Farewell."

Having just witnessed such an incident, regardless of the thoughts swirling in the minds of the researchers, none dared to impede Norah.

They had wrongly sided with Sheri moments ago, and Sheri's demeanor spoke volumes.

Sheri had stolen something from Norah, the Supernatural Doctor, and passed it off as her own! They questioned whether Sheri was truly a thief. Was her reputation founded on acts of theft?

Before leaving, Norah looked back and saw Sheri standing in the innermost corner of the research institute, watching her leave gloomily.

Norah smirked sarcastically and said to Sheri, "Good luck to you."

Imagining the predicament Sheri would be in, suspected of thievery by everyone in the institute, Norah couldn't help but chuckle. Sheri was facing the outcomes of her own decisions.

Shelton's voice resonated deeply, breaking the tension. "Everyone, back to work. Sheri, come to my office!"

Sheri trembled all over, feeling as if she was walking into the lion's den as she entered Shelton's office.

With no urgent missions abroad, Norah wouldn't be visiting her lab for a while, but she would come back once her medication ran low.

The Vitality Potion was her trump card. Producing just one was out of the question. Even providing one for each person wasn't sufficient.

“Miss, hold on a moment." As Norah stepped into the hotel lobby, a voice called out to her. It was Harvey, the hotel's chef.

Norah had removed her mask and cap on her way back. She looked at Harvey with a quizzical expression.

"Miss, I want to learn cooking from you."

"Me?" Norah pointed at herself. She had merely used the kitchen to whip up a meal for Sean. And now, Harvey wanted cooking lessons from her? Though she was skilled, it wasn't particularly remarkable for a five-star hotel chef to seek her guidance, was it? Harvey majored in cooking, while she developed her culinary skills as an amateur enthusiast.

Harvey nodded with admiration. "Yes, miss. I tasted your cooking, and it's incredibly delicious."
