Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Hiring Healers
Ivy Kensington furrowed her brows slightly but didn’t think much of it and soon walked in.
"Ivy’s here."
Master Gard saw her and gestured, "This is the latest experimental project; take a look first."
Ivy thanked him, and the content inside shocked her...
This was actually about poison research?!
Master Gard said, "Herbs not only have a life-saving side but also a harmful one. As researchers of herbs, we must thoroughly study both the advantages and disadvantages."
Sometimes, using poison as an antidote is also a method.
Ivy thought of her last poisoning incident and nodded.
"Hmm."
Master Gard was right; understanding herbs requires multiple perspectives.
Ivy started reading the project document, her eyes falling on the signature of the collaborator—was it Ethan Ford?
He’s also involved in this project?
This project was actually about extracting the venom from Datura, but Datura was just a rumored entity...
Even if Datura was found, the entire plant is poisonous, and extraction is not an easy task.
Just as Ivy was engrossed, Master Gard called her over again.
"Everyone is here today; I believe you’re all aware of the Datura project. I’m formally forming a project team, consisting of five people."
Then, Chloe Ford announced the names of the five members, among which was Ivy, but not Rhiannon Zane.
Upon hearing this, Rhiannon Zane clenched her hand tightly.
Why couldn’t she participate, but Ivy could?
In the next moment, she protested, "Teacher, I think it’s unfair."
"Oh?"
Master Gard wasn’t angry when he heard this and instead smiled while asking her the reason.
Rhiannon Zane shot a secretive glare at Ivy and said, "Ivy just arrived, and this project is so important. Why can she participate?"
"Well."
Master Gard stroked his chin and said, "I like this girl; does that count as a reason?"
Rhiannon Zane: "..."
Master Gard said, "Alright, that’s settled. There’s a project conference tomorrow; everyone prepare well for attendance."
After speaking, Master Gard left.
Before leaving, he patted Ivy on the shoulder, "If you have any issues, come find me."
Ivy responded with a hum and continued to read the project document.
Meanwhile, Rhiannon Zane angrily clenched her fists, her mind racing.
Conference?
Hmph, just wait and see, she will prove with her abilities that Master Gard’s choice was wrong.
At this moment.
Chloe Ford followed Master Gard out.
"With what you just said, didn’t you put Ivy into a pit of fire?"
Originally, Rhiannon Zane already had resentment in her heart.
Master Gard said meaningfully, "This is a pit of fire but also an opportunity; it depends on whether Ivy can seize it."
If she can successfully complete this project, no one in the laboratory will oppose her anymore, and when he wants to teach her things in the future, no one will feel disgruntled.
As for why he didn’t let Rhiannon Zane participate in this project, Master Gard knew her character is too eager for quick success and must be honed further.
Chloe Ford, having been by Master Gard’s side for many years, quickly understood the implication of his words.
She was about to say more when a "ding" sounded, and a text message arrived on her phone.
She opened it and her eyes widened.
It was from Ethan Ford: [Chloe, Blackwood Group is recruiting therapists, you should give it a try.]
Chloe Ford’s mouth twitched slightly, replying: [Bro, you know I have no interest in Blackwood Group.]
Her sole wish is to stay by Master Gard’s side and do well in her job.
