Chapter 483

Years ago, he was destitute and couldn't even afford the rent for his research lab. It was Sophia Laurent who extended a helping hand, giving him a chance at rebirth.

Over the years, he had only released two basic medical robots.

Though they caused a sensation in the industry, the profits were far from enough to cover the institute's massive expenses.

Now, he had finally turned his dream into reality.

Sophia's lips curved slightly. "It was the least I could do."

Her relaxed brows and radiant smile made people unconsciously ease up.

"My investment in you wasn't without ulterior motives."

Her blunt words actually reassured Dr. Quincy.

The most unsettling thing in this world was charity without any expectations.

Dr. Quincy said solemnly, "Ms. Laurent, I didn't let you down."

Suddenly remembering something, his expression turned serious. "That day at the restaurant, you warned me to be wary of Emily Lowell. Today, she really came to steal data. How did you predict it?"

That day, he received a call from his assistant, saying William Lowell had brought Emily to tour the institute.

Sophia immediately instructed him to transfer the core data.

What Emily stole was nothing but carefully fabricated false information.

Sophia chuckled lightly. "Just a woman's intuition."

Dr. Quincy had been with the Lowell Group for years, yet Emily had never visited before.

Her sudden appearance right before the product launch was undeniably suspicious.

Unlike William, Sophia wasn't the type to trust Emily unconditionally.

Moreover, Emily's scandal with Ryan Cunningham had emerged under peculiar circumstances.

What raised Sophia's suspicions the most was Emily's opportunistic nature—she never acted without personal gain.

Someone must have set their sights on Dr. Quincy's research.

But she hadn't expected Emily to hand the data directly to Ryan, deliberately humiliating the Lowell Group at the press conference.

As the two conversed, an assistant hurried over.

"Doctor, the Lowell Group is blaming you for canceling the press conference, claiming you fell suddenly ill. Should we respond?"

Dr. Quincy frowned and looked at Sophia.

After a brief pause, Sophia asked, "Dr. Quincy, would you be interested in joining Pearl Group?"
