    “I''m not suitable for you.” That was the only thing Arius could think of to say.


    Georgina paled. “Don''t overthink my gift, Professor Gullifer. This is just a token of my appreciation for


    the help you''ve provided me.”

    Well, if she''s putting it that way, I have to ept her gift now. Otherwise, I''d be embarrassing her.


    Without any other choice, he epted the box.


    In response, she sighed in relief. “I''ll be heading to work now. See you.”


    When Arius opened the box, he saw a costly watch. This is way too expensive. Why would anyone gift


    someone such an expensive watch for no reason? I''m feeling very burdened right now. What am I


    supposed to do? I can deal with any experiment, no matter howplicated it is, but I''ve no


    experience with romance. Georgina''s a good woman, so I really don''t want to hurt her feelings.


    Sophie was amused by his reaction and let out augh. I didn''t expect Arius would one day be in such


    a situation.


    “Why are youughing? This is all your fault. What do you think I should do now? I really don''t want to


    hurt her.” Arius sighed. It wasn''t easy for Georgina to join the Chanaean Medical Association. I can''t let


    this be the reason for her departure.


    She answered, “How would I know what you should do? As impressive as I am, I''m incapable of


    controlling other people''s emotions.” There''s nothing anyone can do to change someone''s mind when it


    comes to liking or disliking someone.


    The matter was genuinely troubling Arius. What the heck should I do with this gift?


    “All right, that''s enough. We should head to Dr. Smith''s office. I have something I want to tell you two


    about.” Her smile faded, reced by a serious expression. I mustn''t let our enemy know that we''re


    aware they''ve nted a spy here. Otherwise, things''ll get messy.


    Upon arriving at Barney''s office, Sophie told him and Arius about the spy. “Our research is at a critical


    point right now, so we must be vignt.”


    I feel exhausted by this. We''re all just doing research, so why are they so ruthless? Why must they do


    this? Barney thought.


    “Our data during this period is crucial, so please install strong protection on your own data. As for the


    spy, we''ll fish them out once the research has concluded,” Sophie continued.


    “What about other people''s data?” Due to theplicated nature of theirtest research, there were


    other people researching other data.


    “We don''t know who''s the spy, so the only option is for us three to handle everything ourselves,” Sophie


    answered. Right now, we can''t afford any mistakes with the data. If our adversary tampers with the data


    calction, it''ll significantly affect our final result.


    “This''ll be tiring, but it''s our only solution right now.” Barney was in support of her n.


    Nodding, Arius said, “In that case, let me do more. Since I''m alone, I don''t have much else going on


    after returning home.”


    “Okay. Oh, by the way, I''ll assign you two a few bodyguards. Just in case,” informed Sophie.


    “You only need to send people to protect Dr. Smith, Sophie. I can keep myself safe.” Arius was pretty


    confident in his skills. As long as it isn''t that maniac, Nichs, I can handle it.


    “This is a critical period, Arius. Anndur won''t let us off, so you must allow the bodyguards to follow


    you no matter how ufortable you are with it.”


    “I guess it can''t be helped, then. Fine, I''ll go along with it.” He knew Sophie was doing that because she


    was worried about them.


    “That''s all I have to say. If there''s nothing else, let''s return to our experiments!” She didn''t want to waste


    any more time because the deadline was tight.


    Another reason was that sses would be starting in roughly two weeks. Once school starts, I''ll be


    incredibly busy. That''s why I must finish conducting the remaining few key experiments when I still have


    time.


    Barney was delighted with how Sophie was handling everything. Indeed, she''s the most suitable


    person to take over my position! She has excellent management skills, knows how to allocate her time


    well, and always makes decisions others will agree on.


    Upon arriving at herb, Sophie scanned her fingerprint before entering the room only she could


    ess.


    She wore her white coat, tied her hair, and began experimenting.


    Her experiments didn''t stop until the afternoon when she had to leave to deal with other matters. After


    tidying theb up, she left.


    Initially, Arius was going to invite her and Georgina to a meal.


    However, when he approached Sophie, he realized she was leaving. “Didn''t you say we should hurry


    up with the experiments? Where are you going?”


    “I''vepleted my tasks for the day, and I have other matters to attend to, so I must leave,” she


    replied.


    “Is it something important? Do you need my help?” Arius was always eager to help her out if she


    needed his aid.


    “No need. It''s just a small matter.”


    “All right, then. You should be careful, considering you''re a thorn in many people''s side right now.” He


    and Barney weren''t in as much danger as she was.


    “Rx. I won''t die that easily. If they want to take my life, they''ll need to be capable enough to pull it


    off.”


    “I know you''re confident about yourself, but you still need to be careful, all right?” Arius was worried


    because he wasn''t sure if she had fully recovered from her injury yet.


    “I know.”


    Upon leaving Chanaean Medical Association, Sophie took a taxi to Wilma''s ce. Thetter had


    recovered after recuperating for a few days.


    When she saw Sophie had arrived, she immediately let her in.


    “I can do it myself, Ms. Sophie. You don''t have toe with me.” Today was the day she would be


    divorcing Phineas.


    She knew Sophie had done something. Otherwise, Phineas wouldn''t have agreed to the divorce that


    easily.


    “Have you prepared everything yet? If you have, we''ll get something to eat first before heading straight


    to City Hall,” Sophie suggested.


    City Hall was also back in operation after the holiday season.


    “All right.” Wilma grabbed her coat and followed Sophie out to a nearby restaurant.


    After they ate something, they took a taxi to City Hall. When they arrived, they saw Phineas was


    already waiting there.


    He appeared particrly haggard, especially with his unshaven beard.


    Pitifully, he pleaded, “Can we not divorce, Wilma? I know I was wrongst time. I shouldn''t have done


    that. However, I was drunk. I didn''t expect it would cause you to miscarry. Can you please give me


    another chance?”
