Chapter 42
As soon as Mabel heard that, her face paled further. Her mother had been in a car accident half a month ago, and the surgeries and hospitalization had already cost 7,000-8,000 dollars. Her savings were nearly depleted. If her father couldn’t find a job soon, they wouldn’t be able to afford the medical expenses next
month.
Lucia’s father was an executive at a subsidiary of Prospectus Technology, so pleasing Lucia could easily secure her father a job. This was why Mabel was willing to be Lucia’s lackey.
Her hesitant gaze hardened as she looked at Lucia and sald, “Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
Lucia showed no surprise at this. She raised an eyebrow with a smile. “Good. As long as you handle this well, I’ll have my dad arrange a job for your father tomorrow.”
After Mabel left, Lucia glanced toward the lab with a smirk.
Meanwhile, Nyla ground the drugs and sequentially added them into a beaker along with the solvent, using a glass rod to initiate dissolution. Once the reaction was nearly complete, she filtered out the residue and transferred the solution into a flask for distillation, meticulously recording each step and
time in her lab notebook.
This process was repeated five or six times until all the previously ground powder was dissolved.
During the distillation process, Nyla stepped away briefly to retrieve 20 milliliters of dilute sulfuric acid from the adjacent reagent storage room, intending to add it to the reaction mixture later.
Shortly after Nyla left the storage room, a furtive figure sneaked in and switched the labels on the bottles of concentrated and dilute sulfuric acid.
While Mabel did this, her hands trembled. After all, this was her first time plotting against someone like this. After switching the labels back, she hurriedly left.
Back in the lab, Nyla finished distilling the reaction mixture, dismantled the flask and condenser, and began setting up a new reaction apparatus. Just as she was about to ignite the alcohol lamp, footsteps and voices approached the door.
Everyone in the lab turned to see Genevieve entering with a smile on her face, Behind her were over a dozen well–dressed people, led by Damon.
By chance, Damon’s eyes met Nyla’s, but he quickly looked away as if they were strangers.
Genevieve spotted Nyla and quickly said, “Nyla, come over here! Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Sumner, CEO of Prospectus Technology. He’s the one investing in the asthma treatment drug you’re Currently researching.”
s eyes.
This Nyla was completely different from the one who had married Clark and become a full–time housewife. Apart from her attractive appearance, she now exuded a lively energy that was a stark contrast to her previous reserved and uninteresting demeanor.
After Nyla lit the alcohol lamp, she tilted her head slightly as she jotted down in her notebook: [8:37 a.m., began heating.]
When the thermometer in the triangle flask showed a temperature of 75°C, she began pouring the dilute sulfuric acid into the flask. After pouring in just a few milliliters, the solution in the flask suddenly boiled rapidly.
Realizing something was wrong, Nyla quickly stopped, but it was already too late.
The flask suddenly exploded, sending shards and solution splattering everywhere.
Everyone in the lab was startled and instinctively moved back.
Genevieve was appalled. She was about to urge Damon to hurry out of the lab, but he swiftly moved toward Nyla instead.

More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
