From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World

Chapter 351 Casting Bait To Fish

"The 'Artificial Womb' project is the most important research topic of ZN Experimental Base this year and it is also the first shot fired by Hazel in the domestic biological research laboratory."

But now, after finally successfully conducting the experiment, all the promotion and cooperation have reached the critical moment, yet there are still some flaws.

This still had a significant impact on Hazel, even though she had prepared herself thoroughly.

The initial investment cost of this project reached as high as several billion in the early stage, and the additional amount added in the later stage even exceeded tens of billions. If this experiment were to be stillborn, Hazel would have to bear all the compensation herself.

Money is just the smallest reason among them.

The most important thing is the reputation of ZN Experimental Base in the country. The first project had such a big problem, so it would be difficult to attract experimental investment in the future.

The female assistant asked, "Prof. Robinson, what were you planning to do if we found the traitor?"

Hazel remained silent for a while before speaking, "Let's find out first before saying anything."

Although the female assistant is not a local, she can speak the language of the country because her grandfather is a native. Therefore, there was no problem with communication after Hazel was transferred to the country.

She reminded, "Prof. Robinson, I know you are sad, but there is a saying in your country that I think is right: People's hearts are hard to predict."

Hazel: "I knew."

Her cold apricot eyes flickered with a chill as she pondered for a moment before saying to her female assistant, "You release the news. If the ultimate cause of this incident cannot be found and the traitor is not discovered, the entire 'Artificial Womb' team will be disbanded directly, and all benefits will be revoked."

The female assistant paused for a moment and quickly understood what she meant.

This was intended to be used as bait for fishing.

In the afternoon, this news spread among all the researchers, and everyone's hearts were very heavy.

Everyone had a worried expression on their faces, and they couldn't understand how a traitor could exist. Each one of them was recalling the past experimental period, trying to figure out what went wrong and wanting to find the internal traitor as soon as possible.

The next morning.

Hazel and her female assistant had just walked into the office when they saw a man standing at the door, waiting.

"Prof. Robinson, I have something I want to tell you."

The

person speaking is Avery Turner, the same person who previously mentioned taking his daughter to the beach to play.

During the meeting yesterday, he was still on the plane flying back from the beach to Aspen and did not attend the meeting. However, as soon as he returned to ZN Experimental Base, he immediately inquired with his colleagues and learned about the traitor from their mouths.

Hazel asked the female assistant to handle the work first and said to Avery, "Come in and speak."

The man came in and immediately had a hesitant look, as if he wanted to say something but held back.

Hazel didn't urge him either, waiting for him to sort out his thoughts before speaking.

"Prof. Robinson, there is something I don't know if I should say or not."

Hazel spoke frankly, "Since you chose to come find me, isn't it because you were prepared to talk to me about this matter?"

"Avery, if you haven't made up your mind yet, you can go back first. When you have decided, come and find me. I have some things to take care of, so I won't accompany you."noveldrama

She lowered her head and flipped through the documents in her hand, which had been delivered to her by the female assistant earlier this morning.

In the quiet office, Hazel could hear the heavy breathing of the man sitting across the desk.

After waiting for two seconds, Avery's resolute voice came from the other side.

Avery said solemnly, "Last week, after the experiment ended, I saw Mr. Morrow secretly take a USB flash drive from the laboratory!"

"Mr. Morrow was my teacher and the person who introduced me to this field. I don't want to doubt him, but the scope of this matter was too wide, and I didn't want the laboratory to suffer..."

If the cause of this incident cannot be found, then all members involved in this project task force will be held accountable.

Avery continued, "Prof. Robinson, I truly cherished the opportunity to work at the ZN Experimental Base, but I also believe that Mr. Morrow is not that kind of person. However, his mother and brother at home are vampires, and I am worried that he is being forced to do these things."

His current salary and benefits are tens of times higher than before. Hazel has almost solved all his life difficulties for him, and even resolved the problem of his daughter being unable to attend school due to lack of household registration. He really doesn't want to lose the job opportunity here.

Hazel lifted her head from the documents and glanced deeply at Avery, who had an anxious expression on his face. It was evident that he was genuinely worried.

She remained calm, with even her voice lacking much fluctuation, as she said in a declarative tone, "Avery, the matter is currently under investigation, and until the results are out, everyone is a suspect."

"Everyone could see Mr. Morrow's conduct and behavior, and one sentence from you cannot determine your teacher's responsibility."

The seemingly righteous act had a hint of "backstabbing" in it.

Hazel closed the folder in her hand and said gently, "You go out first, we have found some clues about the matter, and the results will be out

soon."

Avery had heard about what she had done to Lily and her ex-in-laws in Seattle.

He regarded her as decisive and cold-hearted, without any hesitation or

remorse.

Hearing her say this at the moment, I also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good, it's good if it can be found out."

When Avery left the office, Hazel fell into deep thought.

She dialed the female assistant's phone number and asked her to have Milton

come to his office.

Knock, knock, knock. The sound of knocking on the door was heard.

Hazel spoke up, "The door wasn't locked, come in."

"Prof. Robinson, you looked for me."

Milton had a magnetic voice and a calm temperament, giving people a very trustworthy first impression.

She sat by the tea table and looked up at the man entering the room, saying, "Yes, Mr. Morrow, come in and have a seat. I want to talk to you about the incident of the leaked experimental data."

When Milton approached, Hazel was also quietly observing his figure.

The clean white shirt, simple black pants, and the worn-out coat on top all

showed signs of having been around for quite some time.

He was in his forties, with an academic-looking face, but his hair at the roots had already turned a bit white.

Usually, younger colleagues around him would jokingly suggest that he dye his

hair. Every time, Milton would just smile and not agree, nor make any changes to

his hair.

Milton Morrow, the researcher whom Hazel had to make three attempts to bring back to Seattle.

When she was studying, she had heard about the story of this senior. He lost his father at a young age, his mother fell seriously ill, and he also had a younger brother who was less than a year old. They were always short of money, so during his university years, he often helped companies with research and development of products.

Milton sat down across from her and did not initiate the conversation.

The heating inside the house was sufficient, but he still didn't take off his coat. His face looked very pale, but compared to when Hazel first saw him, his complexion had improved a lot.

'Mr. Morrow, were your mother and brother comfortable living in the apartment? Currently, there are still vacant rooms in the apartment, so we can allocate another one for you."
