Miguel was usually calm and rational, but today, for some reason, he just couldn’t control his

temper.

He felt cursed, like every bad thing imaginable had decided to happen at once.

He hadn’t felt this way before.

Back then, Marcelo and Maxwell would often complain about their bad luck, but Miguel never paid much attention.

He had always thought his life was smooth sailing–so why did it suddenly feel like everything was going wrong?

“If you can’t drain some of that nonsense out of your brain, how am I supposed to help you?”

Marcelo couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. He simply gestured for them to either leave or stay quiet.

Then he slowly turned his head, his eyes landing on Amelia. His cold, stern expression instantly softened.

Warmth flickered in his gaze, and his whole presence shifted. The intimidating aura melted away, replaced by a calm, gentle tone that made him seem like a completely different person.

“Amelia, go ahead and say what you want. Ignore those useless people.”

With that, he managed to insult not only Gianna but also Miguel in one sentence.

The two of them were furious, but given the situation, they didn’t dare talk back.

Amelia simply arched a brow. She didn’t feel flattered or emotional about Marcelo siding with her–it barely registered.

She stood up

and poised.

and walked to the front. Dressed in a sleek, custom–made suit, she looked elegant

Already beautiful, she now radiated confidence and authority. Standing at the podium, she drew everyone’s attention without even trying.

“The issue Ms. Gianna just mentioned is far too one–sided and lacks any real practicality,” she

“Fortunately, I’ve put together some materials I’d like to share with everyone.”

Amelia had predicted this would happen and had prepared her plan and slides in advance.

Now, she presented with total case, her explanations detailed and precise, her tone steady and composed.

“She only talked about theory,” Amelia continued. “She completely ignored the real–world variables and technical limitations.

“For example, in this global problem she mentioned, Gianna’s solution might work in an ideal scenario.

Was she really that confident, bold enough to prove herself through action right there on the spot?

Who did she think she was?

Wasn’t Amelia supposed to be focused on the entertainment industry?

How could she possibly be so familiar with these dry, technical research topics?

Did she actually study this in her free time? Impossible.

No matter how much amateur research she did, she couldn’t possibly match professional expertise.

“Ms. Amelia, your explanations are amazing. I feel like my mind just opened up–I finally understand!” one of the experts said excitedly.

“Yeah, all those problems I couldn’t figure out before suddenly make sense. I think I’m about to break through a bottleneck!” another chimed in.

“Ms. Amelia, are you free now? I’d love to see your live demo,” someone else added eagerly.

After hearing Amelia’s presentation, everyone felt as if they’d just attended a masterclass.

So those experts all looked at Amelia with eager eyes, like diligent students gazing up at a respected mentor.

Gianna was fuming. Were these old fools losing their minds?

How could they trust Amelia so blindly? Didn’t they worry she’d mess them up?

“Of course. No problem.” Amelia said with a calm smile. “Let’s go. I’ll show you firsthand how to boost the yield of these rare species.”
