Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 91

After that whole fiasco, Grace's life finally returned to normal.

Thanks to Damien's swift and decisive action, the Hart family was completely subdued and didn't dare harass her again.

Grace was able to devote all her energy to the Galaxy Project.

Her talent and leadership abilities won over everyone on the project team.

The previous doubts and hostility had long since vanished.

In their place was genuine admiration and trust.

Under her guidance, the project progressed with exceptional smoothness.

Grace spent nearly every day in the lab, busy but fulfilled.

She felt as if she had rediscovered her initial passion for scientific research.

That evening, a critical experiment was entering its final stage.

If this experiment succeeded, it would mean their drug was, in theory, completely viable.

The entire project team gathered around the equipment, anxiously awaiting the final results.

Grace was operating the instruments herself.

As the last drop of the reagent was added to the reaction dish, everyone held their breath.

However, what appeared on the screen was not the perfect data they had anticipated.

Instead, it was a string of... blaring red alerts indicating an "Error."

Failure?

How was that possible?

Everyone was stunned.

Grace's expression instantly grew serious.

"Impossible."

She muttered to herself.

She had double-checked every step, every ratio. There was no way there could be a mistake.

"Let's try again!"

She immediately gave the order.

A second time, a third, a fourth...

For five straight hours, they tried every possible method and replaced every reagent they could.

But the result was always the same.

Failure.

Her mind was racing.

Where did the problem lie?

She had run through the proposal no fewer than a hundred times; it was definitely not the issue.

The reagents were from the newest batch, which also ruled them out.

That left...

Grace's eyes suddenly narrowed.

The samples!

She stood up and rushed to the ultra-low temperature freezer.

Opening the door, she retrieved the original sealed experiment samples and immediately began to test them.

Half an hour later.

The test results were in.

Looking at the data on the report, Grace felt the blood freeze in her veins.

The samples had been maliciously contaminated!

Someone had added an interfering agent with an extremely similar structure but a powerful inhibitory effect.
