Miguel felt the same way. Every time he saw the plants in the base or the rare herbs in the greenhouse, he couldn’t help but feel respect and a little nostalgia for his grandfather.

Conrad had lived past 100, a rare long life.

He spent all his time studying herbs and building the company. He didn’t waste a single day.

Because of that, Amelia felt even sadder for him.

If he were still alive and saw what Nygard Group had become, what happened to the whole Nygards–he’d be heartbroken.

Maybe he even knew it was coming before he passed.

Otherwise, why would he have handed 30% of the shares to her?

Not just the shares; he left her all the formulas, the cultivation methods, even some secret stuff no one else knew.

Gianna, on the other hand, didn’t feel nostalgic or sentimental at all.

She hated Conrad. At one point, she even wished he’d just drop dead, because he never acknowledged her.

Now, she only felt proud and pleased with herself.

Maybe a little admiration too, but not for that old man. She admired her mother.

Her mother was amazing. She managed to get the secret formulas and save herbs that were on the verge of dying off.

Miguel looked at the thriving medicinal plantation and smiled contentedly.

He turned to Gianna and said, “You did well this time. The plants all look great.”

Gianna’s smile got even brighter. She quickly said, “It’s all thanks to everyone’s effort. I just did what I was supposed to.

“Actually, back when I was a celebrity, I still spent any free time studying plants and their medicinal properties.

“Maybe it’s because I’m so undisciplined and always juggling things that I didn’t do well at anything.”

Chapter 259 Gianna’s Show

Gianna phrased those words very cleverly.

By saying that, she explained why she could suddenly develop such medicine,something even many experts couldn’t do.

At the same time, she made it sound like her acting and weak work ethic weren’t bad, just that she hadn’t been focused.

“No big deal! The process doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’ve already delivered results and saved Nygard Group’s reputation and huge losses.

“This also proves that researching plants and medicine suits you better. You should be in the core team at Nygard Group.”

Amelia was squatting down, checking the medicinal plantation, and sneering in her mind. What an idiot.

Gianna and her mother were probably so confident that no one could tell that they didn’t care about the risk.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so relaxed, not even worried about Amelia coming over to check.

Amelia glanced at Gianna. She was still playing the part of the “hard–working, humble, and low–key” professional.

She was putting on an act while explaining something to that idiot, Miguel.

She was probably just trying to show off her “expert” research knowledge.

Well, that works out. Amelia was now free to do her work.

While nobody was paying attention, she pulled out a bottle she had prepared and scooped up some soil and plants.

Then she calmly put it in her bag, like nothing had happened.

After a while, the two of them finally finished talking and walked over to Amelia.

“Amelia, how’s it going? If there’s anything you don’t understand or want to ask, I can explain it to you.”
