Chapter 215

When Arabella walked into Lab 1, a few PhDs and experts greeted her. She just nodded, changed into

her lab coat, and strolled in with her long legs, “What stage are we at with the project?”

“We’ve been struggling to extract the Jade Leaf.” One of the doctors sighed, “There’s something in it

that boosts memory, but the extraction process is too delicate. If we’re not careful, we could destroy the

compound. We’ve been trying for over two weeks without success.”

Another chimed in, “We’ve managed to extract other drugs, but they need to be synthesized together to

maximally increase acetylcholine levels in the brain. But we can’t seem to get the synthesis right.”

Arabella pulled up the most recent data of their failed attempts, pondered for a moment, and then said,

“Let me give it a shot.”

The PhDs and experts gathered around her, watching as Arabella tried to extract the Jade Leaf after

heating it.

Soon, Arabella’s phone started buzzing. She was busy and didn’t have time to deal with the call, but

the other party kept dialing. Finally, Arabella had to take off her gloves, step outside, and answer the

strange number with a touch of annoyance, “Who is this?”

“Bella, it’s your dad! Please don’t hang up! It’s just going to take two minutes!” Attlee said.

Attlee quickly got to the point, “Yoli plagiarized your work. We’ve already given her a stern talking–to at

home. We’re also at fault for not educating her well, leading to such a big mistake. Do you have time

for us to bring her to apologize to you face to face?”

“No need.” Arabella was about to hang up.

“Don’t hang up! Please, Bella, give Yoli a chance to apologize, and us a chance to make it right. We’ve

messed up a lot in the past and hurt you. For your grandma’s sake…” Attlee said.

“You have no right to bring up Grandma.” Arabella’s voice was cold as ice.

What, they needed to pay six million and it hurt? Couldn’t bear to part with it? Wanted to use Grandma

to soften her up?

“Yes, I have no right to mention your grandma. If your grandma knew that the Murphy family fell apart

under my watch, she would be heartbroken and her condition could get worse.” Attlee said.

Attlee seemed to be full of regret and sorrow, “It’s all our fault. You’re right to hate us. We don’t even

dare to ask for your forgiveness, but if you’re willing…”

“I’m not willing.” Arabella cut him off.

Attlee was taken aback by her firm stance, at a loss for what to do, “Bella, what can I do to make you

forgive me? Anything that’s within by ability.” “You can.” Arabella said straight away, “Pay the six

million, use the rest to buy some good drugs for Grandma on the black market.”

Attlee suddenly remembered what Doctor Caden had said that there was a very expensive drug on the

black market. One million per pill, two pills a month, and after three months she could have an

operation. This would be much better than living on borrowed time in the hospital.

However, Attlee didn’t want to go through with this idea. His hope was for the old lady to stay in the

hospital with all her shares worth thirty million. He was afraid that if she became senile in her old age,

she might transfer her shares to Arabella.

So he wanted to save Grace, hoping that before she passed away, she could leave all her shares to

Yoli in her will.

He thought Arabella didn’t know his plan, so he said gently, “Bella, don’t worry about Grandma. I will

save her. The drugs from the black market are unreliable. Hope Hospital is the best hospital in the

country, known for its cardiology department, and we have professionals like Dr. Greg and Dr. Caden. I

have peace of mind with Grandma there.”

Arabella knew what was going on. He just didn’t want to spend the money, only trying to save the six

million in compensation. Did he think she couldn’t figure that out?!

“Bella.” Attlee said.
