Chapter 7

I had been out handling my affairs for going abroad, but there was one thing I still couldn't let go of.

After getting into graduate school, I met a very good mentor. This mentor had dedicated his life to researching medicine for children with cerebral palsy.

I followed this mentor down the same path, but after getting together with Zachary, I gradually abandoned this experiment.

And this experiment was directly declared dead in the water after my professor passed away. But even so, the rough prototype of this new drug had still been developed by my professor.

And this experimental result ultimately remained in my hands with the help of my professor's son.

Before passing away, my professor had always hoped I could return to this experiment, but unfortunately, I let him down.

Now that I'd decided to study abroad, I wanted to restart this project.

But when I tried to restart the project, I discovered that someone had beaten me to it.

I spent three full days running around before learning that this project had somehow fallen into Zachary's hands not long ago.

The development of this new drug was my professor's life's work. Thinking of this, I didn't dare delay and immediately ran to the company, wanting to ask Zachary about it.

Who knew that right at the entrance of Harrison Group, I would run into a group of reporters interviewing Zachary and Autumn.

"This special medicine specifically for children with cerebral palsy is the result of five years of persistence I maintained abroad. I've brought it back this time hoping to benefit newborns everywhere."

"Harrison Group is very honored to welcome back this top student in pharmaceutical research to continue benefiting newborns."

Autumn stood before numerous media outlets with a brilliant smile, brazenly claiming this project as her own.

And Zachary beside her was helping to coordinate, the two of them interacting with such intimacy that no one would believe they had no relationship.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I was clearly the lead on this project. Without my signature, who could have taken it away?

Unless Zachary had schemed against me. There was a period when Zachary had me sign various agreements, saying he wanted to plan ahead for marriage and needed to sort out finances in advance.

I wasn't with Zachary for money to begin with, so of course I wouldn't refuse to sign.

But while reviewing the contracts, Ethan had been shouting and making a fuss beside me, insisting on going out to play. In my flustered state, I'd hastily signed those documents.

At this moment, I couldn't think about anything else. I just wanted to reclaim my professor's project. But before I could take two steps, I was grabbed by the bodyguards beside Zachary.

Clearly Zachary had already guessed I would come looking for him and had prepared for it in advance.

After everything below was mostly resolved, Zachary finally saw me, restrained, in his office.

"So you finally came. I really didn't expect that worthless project to be more important to you than your biological son. Your son was so sick, yet you didn't come to the hospital even once!"

"Now this broken project appears and you show up immediately. Didn't you say you had such backbone? Didn't you dare to block me? If you're so capable, don't come back!"
