Chapter 526

As soon as Elizabeth wrapped up her speech, the crowd erupted in applause. She continued, “But science takes time; we need to keep validating our findings, so things might move a bit slowly. I just hope you all can be patient and keep an eye on our progress.”

Sheldon glanced at Elizabeth, relief washing over him. With her on board, he was sure SH2N would hit new milestones soon.

“Alright, big thanks to Elizabeth for sharing, and a shout-out to the Parcy Family for their unwavering support. Now, let’s open the floor for questions,” the host said with a smile.

A reporter jumped in, “Hi, Elizabeth. I’m from Lisbun Media. Can you update us on SH2N’s progress?”

Elizabeth smiled. “Thanks to Serenity Leaf, we’ve made huge strides and are now two-thirds of the way there.”

The reporter pressed on, “Serenity Leaf is super rare, right? If we need a lot of it for mass production and can’t get it, what’s the plan?”

Elizabeth nodded. “That’s a big challenge for us. We’re confident we’ll figure it out and keep everyone posted.”

Meanwhile, millions were tuning in on the livestream, and the comments were pouring in.

User A: [My dad’s been bedridden for a decade. I hope he can hang on until this is ready.]

User B: [Serenity Leaf is so rare. If the research works, won’t it be crazy expensive? Can regular folks afford it?]

User C: [I’m really hopeful this can help a lot of families.]

But not everyone was optimistic.

User D: [Years of research and nothing to show. Now with new people, it’s even worse.]

User E: [So much money wasted. Just give it to families in need instead!]

“Any more questions from the reporters?” the host asked.

The reporters exchanged glances. Just when it seemed like the event was wrapping up, someone grabbed the microphone. “Elizabeth, how’s Prof. Percy doing? There are rumors she might be facing a disability.”

Elizabeth’s face turned cold. She cut in, “My grandmother’s condition is stable. We’ll update everyone if there’s news. Please don’t spread or believe false rumors.”

“Thanks. Can you comment on Alexander, the president of Tudor Group, kneeling at the airport a few days ago?”

Elizabeth frowned. The host glanced at his cards, clearly caught off guard by the off-script questions. The room buzzed with interest in Elizabeth’s personal life over SH2N’s work. The host was about to step in, but Elizabeth beat him to it.

“Mr. Tudor’s actions are his own. Why ask me?” she shot back, leaving the reporter stunned. “This is SH2N’s event. Stick to relevant questions,” she added, shutting down the chatter.

“Any more questions about SH2N?” she asked.

Everyone shook their heads. Elizabeth thanked the crowd and stepped off the stage.

Sheldon followed. “You and Mr. Tudor…”

“Not close,” Elizabeth cut him off, her tone icy.
