Garrick couldn''t bear the thought of all his hard work going dewn the drain! Only by rebooting the Pris Star Project could he reim everything he
had lost! These people had no clue just how precious a genius truly was! His hands trembling, Garrick pointed at Helen, shaking so badly he looked
like he was about to be diagnosed with Parkinson''s.
"Helen, picking a fight with me now is of no benefit to you!” he dered, his voice quivering with anger.
Helen just smirked, unfazed. "Benefit? The only benefit I''m looking for is the peace of mind thates from not betraying old friends. That''s all I
need."
Helen had figured it out over the past few days. Instead of self-destructing, why not drive others insane? There was no sense in letting the youth
charge into battle while they, the older generation, reaped the rewards from the background.
"Helen, you weren''t exactly a saint in your younger days. What gives you the right to judge me now?" Garrick retorted with scorn.
Helen pped her hands, and officers filed in one after another. "Well, then, feel free to call the cops on me. I dared to call them on you. Do you have
the guts?"
Helen wasn''t just after getting Garrick arrested. She wanted him to lose everything, his reputation in ruins! That was Garrick''s biggest fear. Imagine
the pain of realizing that everything you''ve fought for your whole life was for nothing. That was the ultimate heartbreak for Garrick.
Watching Garrick being led away, Noe breathed a sigh of relief. Palmer squeezed her hand gently, reassuring her, "He won''t get out easily. Let him
reflect on his mistakes behind bars."
Garrick''s backers would surely do everything in their power to protect him! Noe chuckled lightly, turning to face the members of the Pris Star
team standing behind her.
“Don''t worry. He wanted to create stars? Well, I''ll show him that stars belong in the sky. From now on, Garrick and whatever''s backing him. I''ve got
them in my sights!"
Her voice was soft, but it resonated with a powerful conviction. Someone in the crowd rubbed their hands nervously and edged closer to Noe
"Uh... Boss, are you hiring? I can do anything, even sweep the floors! Here''s my resume!"Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
Seeing someone actually apply for a job on the spot sparked a flurry of activity.
"Me too! I''ll do anything just to be part of Pris Star Lab. I can serve coffee or whatever!”
Those who had previously demanded apologies from Noe and Loadstar now wore eager smiles. “Just say the word, and we''ll ditch our current
labs..."
Noe hadn''t expected a scientific conference to turn into a job fair... Her gaze fell on her fellow researchers standing behind her. Seeing their hopeful
faces, Noe said, "Sorry, but ourb only hires researchers under thirty... with hair."
The researchers looked devastated. "I''m not even thirty yet...”
But baldness? In the world of research, who wasn''t balding?! To think, the closest they hade to their idol’sb was thwarted by ack of hair...
The disappointment was palpable.
ra grabbed Noe''s wrist, her face alight with excitement. "Noe... are you really my idol? Oh my god, this is the best day ever!"
The thought of her idol standing right before her filled ra with a bubbling joy. "It''s me, sis. Sorry I didn''t tell you sooner."
ra hugged Noe tightly, her voice choked with emotion. "Don''t apologize. It''s me who should''ve known better. I didn''t understand your struggles.”
"But you won''t have to go through that alone anymore. Me and the brothers will always have your back!"
After the conference, the Schnabel family was still reeling from the revtions... What just happened?! The Schnabel siblings looked at Noe with
mixed emotions, still in shock from the earlier revtions. Their youngest sister, the purest and kindest Noe, was supposed to be the family’s
darling. Yet she was the genius shaking the entire scientificmunity!
While all the Schnabel kids were

amazing! While they felt proud,
Beekett also felt a pang of guilt.
“Noe, I''m sorry. I didn''t want to worry you, so I kept it to myself.”
"It''s my fault for not taking better care of you,” Beckettmented.
Jasper Schnabel pushed past a self-ming Beckett and lifted Noe in a hug, spinning her around in excitement. "Noe, what other surprises do
you have for us? You''re incredible!"
As for surprises, there might be quite a few more... It was just a matter of whether they''d be pleasant surprises or shocks!
Freya hurriedly scolded Jasper. "Put your sister down. If you hurt her, I''ll never forgive you!"
Ulrich Schnabel turned to Palmer with a frown. "Did you know about this all along? Why didn''t you tell us?”
Palmer smirked slightly, an unspoken dominance in his demeanor. "I figured it out on my own. Why should I share my discovery with you?”
In other words, this was his secret to keep! Moreover, since these were Noe''s secrets, Palmer preferred they remain a shared secret between
them, not to be divulged.
"If Noe hasn''t spoken up about something, it''s not my ce to decide for her."
Beckett stepped forward, his voice heavy with gratitude. “Thank you."
"Thank you for uncovering Noe’s secret. It meant she wasn''t alone in her endeavors."
To the Schnabel family, it was a mix
of shock at Noe’ s hidden depths
and concern for her well-being. <>

Behind her, there was always an entire team ready to back her up. Looking at the familiar faces of Mizar and the others, ra patted her forehead in
realization.
"Noe, was it you who had my back at Phoenix Lab? How on earth did I not recognize you then?"
It was such a close encounter, yet ra had failed to realize that the person standing before her was none other than her own sister. She was
swamped with guilt!
Mizar gave ra aforting pat on the shoulder. "Whatever our boss wants to keep under wraps, you''d naturally be in the dark!"
Merrick Horwich was visibly concerned. "Noe, dear, how''s theb doing now?"
Noe jumpecin to reassure him.
"We''re strictlyinto research, not into
development. Our family''spany
has coborative projects with the’
Palmeg Corporation. We''re all about
develsping and selling patents,

wW6n''t be another Pris.Star."
“Everyone''s moved on, found their own paths, embarked on new lives!”
Merrick''s worry was all about her safety! “Don''t sweat it. Grandpa. Pris Star will remain a star in the sky, that project is never seeing the light of day
again.”
"Thepany''s worried about you. If Garrick goes off the rails, there could be repercussions. Watch your back! And Palmer, I''m entrusting my
granddaughter to you for protection!"
Merrick was among the few who knew just how capable Palmer was. With him looking out for Noe, he could rest easy.
