Naomi swallowed hard and asked from behind, “Aspher?”

Layla sighed. “What do you mean ‘let her go? She was just venting. Did you really think she meant it? It’s true that our research hasn’t made any progress in years, so it’s only natural that everyone’s feeling frustrated.

“Naomi may be arrogant, but she’s not a bad person. I just need to persuade her, and she’ll stay.”

Millie glanced at Layla’s face. Despite being 70, she was still as strong–willed and spirited as ever. She didn’t look her age at all, more like someone in her 50s.

Her posture was impeccable. While her skin had started to sag a little, it didn’t diminish her looks. Millie couldn’t help but think that Layla was tough on the outside but had a heart of gold.

If it were up to Millie, she would’ve let Naomi go. After all, they could always find someone else. Yet, Layla couldn’t bring herself to ignore the effort everyone had invested.

The door to the lab swung open, and a group of researchers in lab coats turned to look.

“Professor Cadmore,” they greeted in unison.

Layla hummed in acknowledgment before making her way to the central workbench with the box. Everyone gathered around immediately, not forgetting to greet Millie as well.

“Professor Cadmore, what’s in the box?” someone asked.

Layla tapped the box and replied seriously, “This is something that will push our research forward!”

Willie sensed the exchement and anxiety spreading through the room as everyone processed the news

Without keeping them an suspense Layla opened the box in her hands. In the next instant a beautiful Aspher came into view.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the Aspher, stunned into silence. Meanwhile, Naomi quiped nervously. Could it really be Aspher? Had Layla actually managed to get her

in a flash, the room erupted with thunderous applause. Everyone was filled with eager anticipation

“Who found this Aspher?” someone asked.

Layla immediately pointed to Millie, who nodded. The other researchers quickly thanked her.

However, Millie shook her head and said, “I’m honored to be able to assist.”

“Mills, we truly need to thank you. And not just you, but also the person who was willing to provide the Aspher.”
