Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 570

The weight of their stares was too much. Lauren could no longer remain in the shadows. Her face hardening, she shot to her feet.

"Anastasia, don't try to change the subject!" she snapped. "If your conscience is clear and you didn't steal someone else's research, then just answer the accusation! Dodging the question to slander my teacher and me only proves your guilt!"

As she spoke, she gave Calvin a subtle look.

He caught on immediately. "She's right!" he shouted. "You're just trying to cover up your lies! If my research was so worthless, why would you bring it on stage?!"

Their point was sharp and effective. If Anastasia couldn't provide a clear answer, nothing else she said would matter.

In the Unison Pharma section, Mr. Lynn's chest heaved with fury. When they bought the drug, it was Calvin who had come to them, desperate for money. And now he had the audacity to claim they had stolen it? He cursed himself for being so blind, for allowing his chairwoman to be attacked like this.

Mr. Lynn shot up from his seat, ready to intervene.

Anastasia saw him and made a calming gesture, signaling for him to sit back down. Then, her gaze swept across the room. "—Who said I was presenting your research?"

Calvin froze for a second before sneering, "Are you denying it—"

"Of course I am," Anastasia cut him off, her expression a mask of undisguised contempt.

Before Calvin could retort, she opened her presentation on the large screen behind her. Facing the audience, she announced, "To continue where I was interrupted… I, Anastasia Sterling, Chairwoman and lead researcher of Unison Pharma, will be presenting a new drug for the treatment of HIV."

The statement dropped like a bomb. A wave of shocked disbelief rolled through the hall.

HIV! A disease the world knew to be incurable, a monumental challenge that the medical community had been battling for decades without success.
