Inside theb.
Ulrich''s assistant, Lily, poured two sses of water with a smile.
"The boss is indeed in the middle of an experiment, please wait a moment."
For Jasper and ra, this wasn''t their first visit to theb.
ra waved her hand, "No worries, go on with your tasks. I''ll just look around."
Being in the research field herself, ra knew what she could touch and what she couldn''t.
"Thisb''s equipment is top-notch!"
It''s no wonder it''s considered the leading medical researchb in the country.
Lily chuckled, "Still, it''s nothingpared to the Pris Star''sb. The boss couldn''t stop praising it
after his visitst time."
ra was puzzled.
"Which batch of equipment does Pris Star have?"
"Thetest. The boss mentioned seeing some gear from the Pock Group there. Seems like
Pris Star customized it further, making their experiments the most urate in the country."
ra raised an eyebrow. "The Pock Group gear?"
The Pock Group''s range is vast, but to think Pris Star would just go ahead and purchase such
high-ticket items! That''s theb of her idol, indeed powerful!
Ulrich, in his white coat, emerged from the innerb.
Knowing that visitors from the Schnabel family were looking for him, he had returned to theb
through a back door.
Robert was already lying on the operating table.
Ulrich instructed his assistant, "Since he''s a tough guy, let''s skip the anesthesia."
"Boss, are you really going to perform a vasectomy?"
Ulrich replied coldly, "Just scare him a bit."
It''d be a waste to use their surgical equipment on someone like Robert for a real vasectomy.
The assistant worried, "But if he finds out he''s still fertileter on, wouldn''t Ms. Gruber be in
danger?"
Ulrich shook his head.
"I don''t n to keep him around that long. All the evidence of his crimes is ready. I''ll use him to
clean up the Shadow Dragon Society!"
For Robert, prison was the best ce.
Ulrich''s cold gaze softened as he approached Jasper and ra with a warm smile.
"Jasper, ra, sorry for the sudden experiment. Forgot to inform Mom and Dad!"
ra waved it off, "No worries. Dad was just worried about you, that''s why he sent us. Where''s
Malvina?"
"With Noe outside."
"As long as you''re okay! I saw an experiment report here, the technique looks a lot like my idol''s."
Ulrich raised an eyebrow, "You mean Pris Star’s Loadstar? Why would I have her stuff here?"
ra was also confused. She had studied all of Loadstar''s reports and was familiar with her
techniques.
But that report was signed by Professor Calvin. Could it be Professor Calvin changed his methods
recently?
…
At the Falen Gemstones.
The grand and bright jewelrypany was bustling, and as the general manager''s office door
opened, the secretary peeked several times but didn''t catch a glimpse of Noe.
A middle-aged man with a coffee cup passed by, disdainfully saying, "Just a young girl, why all the
fuss? Find some excuse to send her packing!"
The professionally dressed secretary retorted, "Cosmo! Ms. Noe is thepany''s owner now,
show some respect!"
Cosmo, a senior manager, rolled his eyes. "A parachuter, thinking she can boss us around just
because she studied jewelry design in college. Life really does hand out fortunes at birth. Some
people are just born lucky."
His tone was sharp and bitter, grating on the ears.
The secretary ignored him, her eyes lighting up when she saw the girl walking in through the door!
Long, slender legs, white sneakers with a floral design, Noe wore a somewhat schoolgirl-like
dress and casually carried a shoulder bag as she entered!
The secretary expected Noe to wear a high-end suit on her first day but was surprised to see her
looking no different from a student just out of ss.
Yet, those cold eyes swept over, and although the secretary was admiring Noe''s wless
complexion, feeling envious of the Schnabel family''s good genes, she couldn''t help but shiver under
that gaze!
Quickly stepping forward, she bowed slightly, "Ms. Noe, I''m your secretary, Marisol. Wee to
thepany. Would you like me to schedule a meeting?"
Noe nced around the officeyout, her gaze sweeping over the curious onlookers. She
composed herself, stating tly, "No need, I''m just here to have a look. Are the rest of the
employees here to do aerobics in front of the general manager''s office?"
The employees, curious or hoping to catch a glimpse of drama, didn''t matter to Noe.

Cosmo stepped forward to smooth things over. "Ms. Noe, everyone just wanted to wee you.
Plus, ourpany culture is rxed; we don''t require employees to stay at their desks all the time."
Noe nced at him.
Marisol quickly introduced, "This is Cosmo, the head of our design department, responsible for the
new season''s jewelry designs."
Noe nodded, "Cosmo, noted. I was wondering, whichpany policy allows employees to take
their breaks in front of the general manager''s office? If the break room and lounge are just for show,
we might as well get rid of them."
Cosmo touched his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed. He had intended to curry favor with the
long-standing employees in front of Noe, rallying them to his side, but didn''t expect Noe to
directly challenge him!
Indeed, a new boss brings new rules!
Cosmo, with a nce at Noe, took his coffee and left.
Walking into the office, Noe settled into her chair at her desk. Her phone was buzzing with a
barrage of messages.
She had gotten hometest night, and Tristan had woken up just to give Ulrich a piece of his
mind.
The gist of it was Ulrich had been caught up with his experiments and hadn''t bothered to inform
anyone at home, leaving Malvina to fend for herself without dinner.
Without stirring Sienna, Tristan hadid into Ulrich and ordered him to bring Malvina home for
dinner tonight.
Noe had received a nudge from Merrick to check in at the office! She understood that the old man
was worried the school drama was weighing on her and wanted to give her something to do to take
her mind off things.
Marisol handed Noe a financial report, which Noe casually set aside.
"I need the staff details. I''ll look at the financialster."
"Sure thing."
Just as Noe began to review the personnel structure of Falen Gemstones, a raucous noise came
from the corridor.
"What''s going on?"
Marisol stepped out to take a look, reprimanding, "Cosmo, what''s this impromptu meeting about?"
How could there be a meeting right when the boss arrives!
Cosmo shrugged off the criticism with a carefree smile.
"It''s a routine meeting for the design department. We didn''t invite Ms. Noe since she''s just a
freshman. I was worried it might go over her head."
Marisol caught the subtext right away! This was clearly a power move against the new leader!
