    “I was the first to apply to use thisboratory. Why should I give it to you?” This bwas /bn’s voice.

    “Just because the director has spoken, just because my research is more meaningful than yours and will achieve greater. results in the future! This was the voice of Natalie.

    She continued to speak, her voice brimming with smug pride. “bn/b, from what I know, the experiment you’re doing has nothing to do with your team’s research. I seriously suspect you’re abusing your position for personal gain.”

    “You…”n’s face flushed with anger, yet he could not find a way to refute her.

    Although the experiment had been reported to the institute, it indeed had nothing to do with their team’s project.

    Another voice chimed in. “In that case,n, you should yield the tab to Natalie. Her research experiment has already achieved some sess. We can’t let your selfishness dy her achievements.”

    “Exactly! Move baside /bquickly! I need to start my experiment now!” It seemed Natalie was about to barge in.

    “bWait/b!” Josie rushed forward and yanked Natalie away.

    She ran a bit hurriedly, her small face slightly flushed as she breathed lightly. “Who saidn’s experiment has nothing to do with our research project? He reported it to Jeremy before starting and got the institute’s approval. What right do you

    have to kick him out?b” /b

    Natalie was pulled off bnce by Josie. She turned back and red at Josie bwith /ba face full of resentment.

    She said, “It’s you again! Why are you everywhere? Oh, I get it. Isn’s research rted to you? He’s helping you? bJosie/b, you really have no shame!

    “Back when you were in David’s team, you took advantage of several seniors. Now that there’s no one left to use, you start

    seducing other seniors in the team. You really…”

    Before Natalie could finish her sentence, Josie pped her.

    “How dare you spread rumors?” Josie didn’t give her a chance to respond.

    She added, “The whole school knows my actions in David’s team. If you want to pretend ignorance, please find a way to erase everyone’s memory first.”

    Josie scolded Natalie while rolling up her sleeves, looking as if she would hit Natalie again if Natalie dared to say another

    word.

    This scared bNatalie /binto shrinking back. Having been beaten often since childhood, she had a natural fear of people stronger than her.

    Josie nced at the person following Natalie. She remembered him. He was the one who tried to poach Joseph and the others from Jeremy in the cafeteria before.

    Josie looked at the person. “I don’t know what Natalie told you, but thebs at the research institute aren’t allocated bbased /bon who has power, Firste, first–served.

    n is currently an intern bresearcher /bunder Jeremy, and every experiment he conducts is carried out with Jeremy

    approval.

    “You cannot deprive him of his right to use theboratory solely based on your im that he is misusing public resources for personal gain. This right was granted to him by Jeremy. If you have any concerns, byou /bmay address them directly with Jeremy,”

    Natalie covered her face, her heart filled with both resentment and anger. She red at Josie with a cold, sinister look.

    She said, “Who knows if you’re just pretending to follow orders while actually taking care of your personal businessb? /bJeremy is busy with the project and can’t possiblye to check on you himself.”

    She gaven an indifferent nce, her face set in an expression of absolute certainty. “Fine, if you won’t yield theb today, just let us in to see for ourselves.

    “If you are indeed conducting a project experiment, I will apologize to you and will no longer require you to vacate theboratory. Otherwise, your apology can’t solve it!”

    Natalie was confident Josie couldn’t stop her today. After all, she had brought people for support.
