After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 93

Flora snatched the contract from Aria's hand in disbelief and read it carefully.

"I was the original lead researcher. Even if I can't be the first to market, I can still stop Hazel from ever selling it."

This was the opportunity Aria had fought for.

Aldous Evernight had tacitly approved the drug's use for Lilith, but Aria had to do her best to protect all other patients.

This was her second request to Aldous.

He had agreed, otherwise Aria wouldn't have obtained the document so easily.

The Keene Group had been counting on Hazel's drug to expand its market share, but now they didn't even have the right to sell it.

Flora's expression was thunderous. She gritted her teeth. "Aria, you've really outdone yourself!"

The remaining team members couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They were also glad about the choice they'd made. It was a good thing they hadn't listened to Flora and left Flourish Dominion; otherwise, they'd be doing research with no results to show for it. What kind of science is that?

Aria hadn't brought this up earlier because she felt that in scientific research, it's better to focus on the actual work.

"Dinner's on me, everyone! A toast to the successful restart of our project!"

Aria booked a private room at a five-star restaurant.

She had attended business dinners with Gideon before, so she was a regular customer and had plenty of discounts. All in all, it wouldn't be too expensive.

Aria was pregnant and couldn't drink. As it happened, most of the remaining team members were women.

They ordered several types of juice.

The round-faced young woman's name was Mira Dawson.

She was very lively. "Aria, I'm a huge fan of yours. You have no idea how excited I was when I first met you!"

Aria didn't know what she was talking about at first, but later learned that she and Charles had once participated in a national-level competition together.

Mira had been one of her competitors.

It had been a long time, and Aria's memory of it was hazy.
