NovelEnglishChapter 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 glances. Norah
remained calm and composed, unaffected by the tension in the air.
As they approached the laboratory 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 so late? And why aren’t you in a lab coat? Get your team leader out now.”

presence warmly.
“Hello, Miss Avila.”
“Good afternoon, Miss Avila.”

“Welcback, Miss Avila.”
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 black 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 Avila, 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,” Sheri commanded, 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? | don’t work here, so you can’t bossaround,” Norah said, her accent flawless, 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

down under pressure. “Better take off that mask and hat now.”
“It'll be easier on you when the police get here.”
“Miss Avila, 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 declaration made sof the researchers hesitate, unsure of what to believe.
They were aware that the director had instructed them to leave the woman in black alone, referring to her as an
esteemed guest, but her exact identity had never been revealed. This left them questioning Sheri’s claims.
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 Avila make such a claim without any proof?”
