Chapter 72 Her True Value

Professor Hugh suddenly pped the table in excitement.

“Quick, use the P3b’s real–time PCR machine to run another test!”

The other experts weren’t as authoritative as Professor Hugh, but they could at least understand the bbasics/b. of the gic map.

They couldn’t help being amazed by this young girl’s sharp eyes and meticulous observation.

Before long, after everyone worked together, theputer disyed a genome alignment chart.

The colored base sequences flowed across the screen like gxies on a cosmic map.

The other experts werepletely stunned. Their eyes burned with admiration as they looked bat /bbScarlett /b

In the observation room, silence fell.

Reba couldn’t make sense of the data, but judging by everyone’s reactions, she could tell that Scarlett had been right–again.

iHow /iwas ithis /iipossible/i?

They were all students, learning the same material.

Why did Scarlett understand so much more?

Professor Gogh finally snapped out of it.

Everyone knew the truth. It wasn’t that the expert panel had missed something, but that in their rush to get results, they had overlooked the most basic sequencing work.

But Scarlett was just a student.

Knowing how to do sequencing was one thing

Being this proficient and fast at it was something else entirely!

She was practically born for theb!

He nced again at the girl beside him–Reba.

Moments ago, he had thought everything about her was excellent. Now, he found her hard to look at.

He regretted everything he’d said just now.

After a moment of panic, Reba quickly calmed down.

This wasn’t a bad thing.

Now she could squeeze more value out of Scarlett.

Scarlett had always been talented–even before she came to theb.

But after Reba’s arrival, the spotlight would only belong to her.

bScarlett /bwas destined to be nothing more than her stepping stone.

She brxed /bpletely.

And with a clear head, she immediately noticed the shift in Professor Gogh’s attitude.

Her mind spun fast, already nning her next move.

“Good thing it was a false rm. And it’s lucky the Joyner family hired so many tutors for my bsister/bb. /bbIf /banything had really gone wrong, we’d have no face to ask Mr. Wayne for help.”

Professor Gogh, still a little irritable, froze for a moment. “The Joyner family? As in Joyner Corp’s bJoyner /bfamily?”

Reba nodded, slightly embarrassed.

Professor Gogh’s gaze turned warm again.

The Joyner family was considered part of the elite circle in Trenwyn. If he managed to build a bgood /brtionship with them, it would benefit his career in the long run.

Also-

He’d heard the story about the mistaken heiress and the broken engagement. He’d always thought bthe /bmistaken heiress was ungrateful and didn’t know how to appreciate kindness.

Now, hearing that the Joyner family had hired tutors to educate Scarlett made him even more convinced that Scarlett was ungrateful and arrogant.

A person like that wouldn’t go far.

He knew exactly where to ce his bets.

“The Joyner family certainly produces talent. But in my eyes, you’re even more outstanding than your sister.”

His tone was sincere, with a pleasant smile, like he was deeplymitted to his belief.

Reba blushed and lowered her eyes again, looking modest and humble.

At that moment, the surveince feed turned off.

That meant the confidential phase had begun, and it was time for them to leave.

Reba handled social niceties well and personally walked Professor Gogh out of the school.

As soon as his car left, another familiar van pulled up in front of her.

Stanley got out of the car, wearing a baseball cap, sunsses, and a mask, but still easily recognizable to his family.

“What are you doing here?”

Reba was pleasantly surprised and ran over to greet him with a bright smile.

“Had a few errands nearby, figured I’d stop by and see you. By the way, who was that guy byou /bbwere /bbtalking /b

Reba introduced Professor Gogh and his role. “He’s really interested in my research and asked me a bunch of questions.”

Stanley’s eyes lit up, and he gave her a big thumbs–up.

“Reba, you’re the best.”

Not like Scarlett.

No real skill–always trying to cut corners.

“Keep it down,” Reba said, a little embarrassed, as if she didn’t want anyone to overhear.

Stanley knew she had always been modest, so he didn’t press the issue.

But inside, he was full of admiration.

If Scarlett had aplished even a fraction of this, she’d be shouting it from the rooftops.

Inparison, Reba was so much more refined andposed–she understood that water that overflows is wasted.

That made him look down on Scarlett even more.

“Oh, right–it’s almost lunchtime. Let me treat you to something. The school cafeteria added ia /ibunch of new signature dishes.”

Stanley was just about to agree when his agent, Luke, stepped out of the car and cleared his throat.

Stanley immediately changed his tone.

“Actually, I can’t today. I’ve got a shoot to get to. I’ll call you after I’m done.”

Reba didn’t suspect a thing, but she was worried Stanley might hear about Scarlett’s achievement while still on campus.

After thinking for a moment, she added softly, “Right, if you hear anything about Scarlett while you’re here, don’t do anything rash, okay?”
