On stage, Anastasia’s eyes narrowed. Seeing the Unison Pharma team rising to their feet in anger, she calmly gestured for them to remain seated.
Then, her gaze locked onto the researcher. Her clear, steady voice carried through the microphone.
"First, may I ask which research lab you're from?"
"What's your name? What's your position at the lab? And what was the product you developed?"
The researcher was prepared. "My name is Calvin," he sneered. "I'm from the Waterside Lab in Fairhaven, and my creation is a hair growth serum!"
The moment he said it, Anastasia remembered. Mr. Lynn had shown her several potential products, and that one had been among them.
She narrowed her eyes. "You don't mean that 'Three-Day Follicle Formula,' do you? When I saw that, I wondered what kind of 'genius' came up with it. So it was you!"
Calvin missed the sarcasm in her tone, taking it as a compliment. He puffed out his chest proudly. "That's right! It was the result of a year of my hard work! Even Mr. Evert from the Global Harmony Medical Institute praised it, saying it would be a huge hit if I brought it to the conference myself!"
His voice turned mournful. "But now I wish I'd never created something so brilliant. Then it wouldn't have been stolen by you, Anastasia, just so you could prop up your fake reputation as a genius!"
He hurled his accusation, fully expecting to see Anastasia flustered and guilty. But the poised young woman on stage didn't even blink. Instead, a mocking laugh escaped her lips.
