Chapter76
Esther was relieved to see his usual expression. “What about
you?”
“I… still have some work to do. I’ll sleep after I’m done.“Nigel put
lucky charm pendant into his pants pocket. “I accidentally broke
the lock. I’ll get Shad to send it to the jewelry shop for repair
tomorrow. I’ll return it to you after it’s repaired.”
Then, he took the fruit platter from Esther and returned to the
study.
The moment she closed the door, a call was made.
There was no longer any emotion on Nigel’s handsome face. His voice was cold. “Shad, personally bring someone to Gicstead and help me carefully confirm Esther’s background.”
“We have to be thorough.”
“Yes.”Shad agreed and could not help but ask, “Why are you still investigating after so many years? Is there something wrong?”
Nigel said, “I’m not sure. You can check it first.”
Hopefully, he was overthinking.

Nigel’s last sentence was also heard by Nancy.
She frowned when she heard that. She never expected a
humble gentleman like Nigel to be so self–righteous. She was also
a little puzzled by Lottie’s reaction. “Why don’t you just agree?”
“It’ll be troublesome.”
Lottie put his phone aside and sat cross–legged on the sofa. “I
went to Mathis family at noon. His mother said that the divorce
certificate would be completed in four days at the latest.””
“There’s no need to go through him.“”
She did not want to create any more uncertainties for herself.
The current situation was pretty good. The next day, Lottie went
to the medical center to meet up with Alan before going to
Pollard Group Group together.
All these years, she had passed by this place countless times, but
she had never entered it. She had even avoided it.
If she had not met him in Germany that time, she might have
hoped that she would never meet Lewis again.
“Lottie?”

After getting out of the car, Alan saw that she was in a daze and
asked with a smile, “What are you thinking about?”
Lottie retracted his thoughts and shook his head. “No. I just
didn’t expect to participate in such a large–scale project one
day.” Cancer drug development.
The government’s most prized medical program for the next
three years.
Once she succeeded, she might…
He could really be free now.
When they arrived, the other members of the R&D team were
already waiting in the conference room.
As a researcher, there was no need to talk so much
nonsense. The real communication was also in the process of
development. It had just begun and there was not much to talk
about. After a simple meeting, someone brought Lottie and the
others to familiarize themselves with the laboratory.
In addition to Lottie and Alan, there were three men in their
thirties and forties.
“What the hell? She’s almost 40 years old, but she’s reduced to
being an assistant to a 20–year–old girl.”

“Heh, you’re not convinced?”
“I’m not convinced. Are you?”
“Me neither.“The two of them sat in a corner of the laboratory,
echoing each other. “But what can we do? They might be
related. In this world, it’s much easier for women to rise to the
top than men.“.
Alan’s face turned cold. He wanted to argue with them.
Lottie stopped him and said nonchalantly, “Brother Alan, the
only thing that can shut them up is something I developed
myself.”
Otherwise, the more he said, the more guilty he would look in
the eyes of others.
She had read the resumes of the two men on the way here. She
was confident she could shut them up.
Lottie did not do anything else. Instead, he walked to the
medicinal herb cabinet and checked them one by one. Alan
asked, “Do you need so many types of medicine?”
“It’s not that.””
Lottie explained, “Teacher helped us confirm the medicinal
Chapter 76
herbs in the clinic from the beginning. Later on, the medicinal
herb suppliers have also been supplying them according to that
standard. It won’t affect the medicinal effect.”
“But Pollard Group, we need to confirm it ourselves first.”
The difference in color, texture, and age, even if it was wild or
artificially cultivated, would affect the medicinal effect.
In this aspect, Chinese medicine was more difficult to develop
than Western medicine.Hearing this, Alan felt a little ashamed. “It’s been so many years, but I haven’t developed this habit.”
“It’s normal. You’re the boss.”
Lottie smiled teasingly. “Even if you don’t keep an eye on these
things, someone will.”
Alan looked at her and chuckled. “Then you have to help me
keep an eye on the clinic.”
“Don’t worry.”
As Lottie spoke, he sniffed the Southern Star in his hand.When the two men saw that she was working in the procurement department, the disdain in their eyes intensified. They simply nestled in their chairs and played games in boredom.
