“Yeah, we were planning to have tea together, and we just happened to pass by here,” Laura casually explained, revealing
nothing and keeping her true intentions hidden.
“Well, Madam Verkade, have a good time. Goodbye!” Emmanuel knew he wouldn’t extract any useful information
and didn’t want to strain his relationship with Laura, who was closest to Claudette, so he quickly ended the
conversation.
Back in the Maserati, Emmanuel reversed the car a bit, creating space to bypass the other vehicle and leave the
scene.
Laura watched their car, her expression a bit complicated.
Inside the Maserati, Mackenzie didn’t discuss Laura with Emmanuel because the car quickly arrived in front of the
R&D center building.
“Emmanuel, you should go change your clothes first,” Mackenzie instructed as she got out of the car.
“Sure, I’ll find you in a bit!” Emmanuel’s clothes were wet, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to enter the research lab
like that.
Mackenzie nodded and entered the building.
Emmanuel went back to his office, found a shirt to put on, and then headed back to the research building.
Upon entering the lab, Emmanuel noticed that many members of the Quillen family were already present. The four Quillen
ladies, Beatrix, Lara, and even Terence and Alfred, were already there.
“Haha, Lara! I’ve come today specifically to watch your performance. I have always had high expectations for you!” Terence said
to Lara immediately after arriving.

“Grandpa, I won’t let you down!” Lara responded confidently, wearing black-framed glasses and a white lab coat, completely
different from her previous appearance.
“Dad, don’t worry! Lara will definitely succeed. She’s been a genius in energy reactions since she was a child!* Samantha
reassured Terence with a smile.
“Yes, in other aspects, Lara may not be as good as Mackenzie, but she has always focused on this direction. She even went to
MIT for three years. I have full confidence in her!”
“Yes, Lara will surely become the backbone of our family in the future.”
Sophie and Hannah also praised Lara.
Lara had never been one to prefer modesty and humility. Now, with her entire family having such high expectations for her, a
sense of pride naturally welled up within her. She looked at Beatrix and said directly. “Beatrix, do you remember what I told you?
I’ll soon become your superior! Mackenzie has promised that if I can complete the R&D for this new product, she will appoint me
as the head of the R&D department and the marketing director for the
Ill other aspects, Lara may not be as good as Mackenzie, but she has always focused on this direction. She even went to MIT for

Beatrix snorted and pouted. “Let’s talk when you actually succeed!”
Although she refused to admit defeat, Beatrix felt uneasy inside. She knew Lara had a talent for this, and from the perspective of
the company and their family, she also hoped for Lara’s success. It seemed like she might be stepped on by Lara in the company
after this.

“Keep your eyes peeled and wait and see then!” Lara said confidently, turning around and heading toward the experimental
equipment.
In the lab, besides members of the Quillen family, there was also a group of researchers from the Terence Group. Over the past
three days, they had become convinced of Lara’s theoretical knowledge and research skills, praising her multiple times as a
distinguished MIT graduate. At this moment, like the Quillen family members, they were all filled with expectations for Lara.
The lab was spacious, and everyone stood in an open area. Surrounding Lara were eleven precision machines, four mainframes
for controlling programs, and twelve display screens. All of these were part of the energy conversion suite developed based on
the Energy Diagram of Nine Palace.
The Sun Stone was placed on a device, surrounded by a set of toughened glass and an explosion-proof glass. Unless the
password lock was opened, it couldn’t be taken out. The stone was pure black, with a slight gloss, looking different from ordinary
stones but not very eye-catching.
