But as the reality of their arrogance sank in, they couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

Except for Annalise, everyone returned to their workstations in silence.

Unbothered by the group’s mood, Annalise stormed up to Jodi with her chin held high.

“Don’t get smug, Jodi.

Even if someone helps you, you will never surpass me!” With that, Annalise lifted her chin arrogantly and strutted off.

Jodi blinked, momentarily stunned. Seriously? What was wrong with Annalise? If Annalise hadn’t gone out of her way to make trouble, Jodi doubted she’d even remember Annalise’s name.

But the anger inside Jodi faded quickly.

Her thoughts shifted to the nine answers Harlee had written.

Each answer could help her complete a major experiment. She didn’t have time for petty arguments with Annalise.

What Jodi didn’t realize was how deeply Annalise’s jealousy and bitterness ran.

After leaving the lab, Annalise found a quiet, secluded corner, pulled out her phone, and dialed her brother’s number. The phone rang a few times before it was picked up.

“Annalise, what’s going on? Why are you calling me out of the blue?”

Annalise, feigning grievance, sobbed, “I’ve been bullied…”

A heavy silence hung on the other end.

“I can’t get involved in things at the physics lab.”

Not at all surprised by his predictable response, Annalise added maliciously, “I know, but that’s why I need you to teach her a lesson outside the lab…”

Another beat of silence passed before her brother responded, his voice filled with hesitation, “But she is your…”

Before he could finish, Annalise cut him off, twisting the narrative in her favor, painting herself as the victim and Jodi as the aggressor.

Annalise’s voice cracked as though on the verge of tears.

“If you don’t help me teach her a lesson, I’ll be completely crushed.

And after I told her I’m a Sandoval, she still dared to treat me this way. She is clearly not respecting our family!”

The mention of their family name being respected hit a nerve.

Her brother’s tone sharpened, his anger rising.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure Jodi knows who she’s messing with.”

Inside the sleek black Rolls-Royce Phantom, Rhys gripped the steering wheel with one hand while Harlee, sitting comfortably in the passenger seat, curled her legs up. She happily munched on a hot dog, her face lit up with pure contentment.

Harlee had originally been scheduled to visit the pharmaceutical lab with Fleming, but the irresistible lure of hot dogs had changed her mind. In fact, once Rhys received Harlee’s reply, he immediately sent her a picture of the hot dog. Normally, Rhys was a stickler about eating in his car, especially foods with strong smells.

However, Harlee was the only exception.

With a sideways glance and a knowing smile, Rhys asked, “How was the tour with Fleming? Did you find any drugs in the lab that piqued your interest?”

Harlee took a leisurely bite of the hot dog, washing it down with a sip of her drink before responding, “I didn’t go to the pharmaceutical lab. I went to the physics lab to teach a few troublemakers a lesson.”
