And he, Dennis, was just an employee who had gotten too big for his britches.
After dressing him down, she turned her cold gaze to the two researchers who had spoken up for him. “It seems you two aren’t happy with me either. In that case, give me your names. You can pack your things and leave with Dennis.”
The color drained from both of their faces.
Dennis looked at her in disbelief.
First, she was just firing him as director. Now, she was kicking him out of the institute entirely?
“Anastasia, are you insane?!”
She shot him a withering look. One of the bodyguards, taking the cue, swung his hand and slapped Dennis hard across the face.
Dennis cried out as his cheek swelled instantly. He spat out a mouthful of blood, along with two teeth.
He was trembling with rage. He had never imagined he would be treated this way. “Fine, I’ll leave!” he spat. “I just hope you don’t regret this, Anastasia!”

with the current management of this institute. If were to give the position ・IN`we
of director back to you, are you confident you could whip this place back into shape and deliver results I can be proud of?”
The room fell silent.
Joseph, who never expected to be singled out, looked up slowly, as if he had misheard.
Before he could respond, Anastasia added, “And don’t worry. I know you’re the one who developed the mutated Uling herb. I won’t let anyone steal your work.” The rıghtful source is.net
Joseph’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Ms. Sterling
Anastasia nodded, confirming that he had heard correctly.
She knew the truth about the herb’s creator from her past life.
Back then, she had been terrified of Harrison and had never considered trying to cure him. But he had been so good to her that eventually, she couldn’t bear to watch him die In her search for a cure, she had learned about the mutated Uling herb.
But before she could treat him, her past life had ended.
Her research into the herb had also led her to discover the tragic story behind it.
