Chapter 517
Elizabeth showing up out of the blue was a real shocker, especially since she had zero experience. She couldn’t just go around saying, “Hey, trust me, I’m M. That would be way too crazy.
“I’ll prove myself through my actions. So, from now on, I’m happy to work with you,” Elizabeth said, slapping on her work badge and uniform, and diving right into the job.
Everyone just stared at her, dumbfounded. “Wait, how does she even have a work badge? Did the higher–ups really let her in?”
Right then, everyone’s phones buzzed with a welcome message from the leadership. [Notice: Elizabeth will officially take over Prof. Percy’s position and lead us in completing the upcoming research.]
Someone muttered, “Elizabeth’s joining, but we barely have any research funding left. In a few days, we’ll have to shut down!”
Just then, another message popped up on their phones. [Notice: The sixth round of financing is complete. We now have enough funds. Please focus on your research projects. Thanks for your contributions to national medicine. Great job, everyone!]
Everyone went silent for a moment. Then they erupted, “We have money! The sixth round of financing, if I remember right, is five hundred million dollars!”
Someone else chimed in, “Yeah, five hundred million! Who believes in us enough to invest that much?”
Elizabeth stopped and looked at them. They all shouted at her, “Our financing went through! You brought us luck!”
This round of financing had been stuck forever, and Celine was super worried about it. But as soon as Elizabeth showed up, the money came through.
Elizabeth looked at everyone, amused. Of course, she brought them luck–she was the investor. ‘This‘ research project has to succeed!‘ she thought.
Elizabeth quickly got into the project. The assistant brought her all the research records from the past years.
Elizabeth looked at the mountain of documents and sighed. “How about you give me an electronic version?” she asked.
“Boss, you should look at this first. The electronic version is huge; it might take more than a day to upload,” said the assistant.
Elizabeth felt a bit helpless; these documents would take forever to go through. But she had no choice. Since she decided to take over this research institute, no matter how tough it was, Elizabeth had to see it through. After all, persistence was her thing.
Before, it was Celine who spent every day in the lab. Now, it was Elizabeth. For three straight days, Elizabeth didn’t show up.
When Kieran went to the hospital to see Celine the next day, he wanted to find out Elizabeth’s attitude toward Alexander. But he didn’t see Elizabeth.
Alexander also thought that since he and Celine were both in the hospital, he’d have a better chance of seeing Elizabeth. He still wanted to talk to her more, apologize, and make up for his mistakes. But Elizabeth didn’t show up for days.
The news of the lab’s financing got out, and everyone found out Elizabeth had taken over Celine’s position.
Celine flipped through the news, totally surprised. She quickly called the assistant, who hadn’t told her about this.
Can Elizabeth handle it? Celine wondered. She called the assistant to get the scoop, and the assistant couldn’t stop praising Elizabeth. She said Elizabeth was super smart and really nice to everyone. She added that with Elizabeth on board, the research project would definitely succeed!

Chapter 517
The assistant talked to Celine for fifteen minutes, without a single bad word about Elizabeth. What shocked Celine even more was that they had only known each other for a few days.
“Are you really not just buttering up Elizabeth? Celine was a bit skeptical.
The assistant laughed. “Our leader Elizabeth is truly amazing! I need to gather more info for her!”
Celine was puzzled, thinking, ‘Has Elizabeth become the leader?‘
