?Chapter 981:


    Since Brenton hadn’t wanted to burden Harlee withpany affairs, he had kept things under wraps. To his surprise, the board had delivered an unexpected turn of events.


    So, Brenton decided to overlook their collusion for now. Meanwhile, Harlee nonchntly skimmed through the proposal, her face neutral, while her mind wandered to the n Rhys had shared with her.


    His idea was truly a masterstroke. Not only did it address Matteo, but it would also solidify the Shadow Moon Society’s foothold in Uwhor. She waspletely captivated by how brilliant the n was.


    The five board members, observing Harlee’s reaction, struggled to contain their excitement. This project was beyond Brenton’s abilities. Surely, Harlee, far more inexperienced than Brenton, couldn’t possibly tackle it, right? They reveled in their imaginary sess, assuming they had finally cornered Harlee.


    The five board members knew well that this project was a tough nut to crack, the most unsolvable issue for the Sanderson Group, and a challenge they bet Harlee couldn’t ovee. Unless…


    But there was no “unless,” because even Brenton and Fleming had failed to resolve it.


    Dina was overjoyed, feeling that Jeffrey’s grievances had been avenged atst. She put on a worried face, pretending that the project had kept her up on multiple nights. She cleared her throat and said to Harlee, “Miss Sanderson, this project is vital for our group, but the National Physics Laboratory refuses to share any information. I’m so worried.”


    The other four board members chimed in with mockery.


    “Yes. Unless Professors Diaz or Professor Campbell are willing to talk, no one can get precise information.”


    G  a lno  ve ls . is where the magic begins


    “Miss Sanderson, you may not know these two professors, but they’repletely immersed in their experiments, disregarding any norms. When they decide to withhold info, there’s no way to persuade them.”


    “Your brother says your skills surpass his, but this project…”


    The assistant, standing behind Harlee, gritted his teeth at these remarks. These crafty individuals knew that even Brenton couldn’t solve it, yet they still pushed…


    Harlee attempted to focus, despite their attempts to make her tackle the impossible.


    However, their chatter only annoyed her, as it made it difficult to concentrate.


    Gritting her teeth, Harlee spat, “Enough!” She simply wanted to handle these distractions swiftly and figure out how to acquire that n without involving Rhys.


    With calm precision, Harlee pulled out her phone and dialed Kieran. It was her first call to him, and she wondered if he’d be too excited. To avoid embarrassing him, she chose not to put him on speaker.


    The call connected quickly, and as expected, Kieran was so excited that he jumped over his desk.


    “Ah… Miss Sanderson! I can’t believe I’m getting a call from you! Are youing to work with us on experiments? You’re wee anytime. Though we’ve been up for three nights, we’re still up for coborating now!”


    “We’ll talk about thatter,” Harlee said, casually cing the phone face down on the table.


    “Calm down. I’ll put you on speaker.”


    Kieran quickly got down from his desk andposed himself.


    Hearing this, Harlee couldn’t help but smile. Kieran always brought a sense of lightheartedness.


    Harlee pressed the speaker button and tapped the table to signal Kieran to speak now.
