?Chapter 297:


    Sheri seethed with anger as she spat out, “Fine! Just you wait!”


    Determined to show the person who dared cross her what she was capable of, Sheri was intent on making Norah regret her actions.


    With a ‘ding,’ the elevator doors opened, and Norah and Sheri stepped inside without exchanging a word. Throughout the journey, Norah kept her head low, paying no attention to Sheri’s spiteful nces. Norah remained calm andposed, unaffected by the tension in the air.


    As they approached theboratory door, Sheri purposefully hung back a little, watching closely as Norah used her fingerprint and iris to unlock the door. This only reinforced Sheri’s suspicion that Norah was indeed affiliated with the research institute.


    Sheri silently vowed to make Norah pay for causing trouble. A huge one!


    Once inside, Sheri followed, watching Norah walk confidently forward. She then demanded, “Hey, you! Which team are you with? Why are you sote? And why aren’t you in ab coat? Get your team leader out now.”


    Sheri’smanding tone caught the attention of the institute’s staff, who immediately acknowledged her presence warmly.


    “Hello, Miss Av.”


    “Good afternoon, Miss Av.”

    “Wee back, Miss Av.”


    Sheri relished the researchers’ deferential demeanor, savoring the sense of authority that filled the air around her.


    This was exactly what Sheri had been hoping for.


    “Well, speak up! Who recognizes her? Who’s her supervisor?” Sheri insisted, rushing forward and reaching for Norah’s hand. But Norah quickly dodged her touch.


    For the past few days, Norah had maintained a consistent appearance, dressed entirely in ck with a mask and cap. Every researcher who crossed paths with her couldn’t forget the striking figure she presented.


    One of the researchers spoke up, “Miss Av, she’s an esteemed guest of the director.”


    “Oh? Is that so?” Sheri sneered, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. “Shouldn’t an esteemed guest of the director be acting so nervously? Why hide herself like that, as if she’s afraid of being recognized?”


    Sheri assumed the researchers were simply covering for Norah, finding the whole situation amusing. Given her closeness with the director, she felt certain she would know if there was truly an esteemed guest visiting the institute.


    “You need to remove your mask and hat,” Sherimanded, using her authority as the head of all project teams.


    Norah spun around, her dark gaze locking onto Sheri’s with a steady intensity.


    “Can’t you understand? I don’t work here, so you can’t boss me around,” Norah said, her ent wless, with a hint of Lochdeer inflection.


    “If you’re not part of the staff, then why do you have the freedom to roam around the institute? If you don’t exin yourself now, you’re going straight to the police station!” Sheri threatened, expecting Norah to break down under pressure. “Better take off that mask and hat now.”


    “It’ll be easier on you when the police get here.”


    “Miss Av, she is really an esteemed guest of the director,” one of the researchers quietly warned, but Sheri paid no attention to the words.


    “Stop defending her! She could be a spy here to steal our research. Don’t let yourselves be fooled!” Sheri’s forceful deration made some of the researchers hesitate, unsure of what to believe.


    They were aware that the director had instructed them to leave the woman in ck alone, referring to her as an esteemed guest, but her exact identity had never been revealed. This left them questioning Sheri’s ims.


    After all, Sheri, as the leader of the project teams, had considerable influence, didn’t she?


    “A spy? Could that be her intention?”


    “Is she really here to steal data?”


    “Would Miss Av make such a im without any proof?”
