Chapter 661
โGrandma, if Natalia bears this, sheโll be jealous,โ Elizabeth said.
Just as she finished speaking, Natalia walked in. โWhat? Jealous of what?โ
Elizabeth looked at Natalia, who was taking off her mask and hat. She said, โGrandina said youโre her treasure.โ
โClearly, you are,โ Natalia clicked her tongue, clearly aware of her position. She couldnโt compare to Elizabeth, so she didnโt even try. She just did her best, living up to the Percy Familyโs expectations. After all, the Percy Family had raised her, and everything she has today was because of them. She needed to be grateful, not greedy.
โI love both of you. Natalia, donโt always think Grandma is biased,โ Celine said, glaring at Natalia.
Natalia walked to the bedside, holding Celineโs hand. โGrandma, whether you love me or not, Iโll always be good to you.โ
Celine snorted. Natalia was good in every way, except for the things she said sometimes.
โGrandma, now that you donโt have to work, is there anywhere youโd like to go? I can take you,โ Natalia said excitedly.
Celine shook her head. โI just want to lie down.โ
โIsnโt that every young personโs dream?โ Elizabeth joked.
Celine adjusted her sleeves and said, โWho in this world doesnโt like lying down? Donโt you agree?โ
Elizabeth and Natalia exchanged glances and laughed. Elizabeth handed the peeled apple to Celine, not forgetting to give half to Natalia.
Natalia shook her head and walked to the window, looking out. โWinter really feels comfortable.โ
In white.
Elizabeth looked out the window. After a night of snow, the city was almost buried inโฆ She had driven to work very slowly that morning because the roads were so slippery.
โHowโs the research institute?โ Celine asked Elizabeth.
Elizabeth said, โSome employees donโt listen to me, and progress is too slow.โ
โYouโre young, and itโs normal for them not to listen to you. But once you achieve something, theyโll follow you. It was the same for me when I started. People are practical,โ Celine said.
Elizabeth was similar to Blair, both suddenly entering the research institute. But she had brought funding with her. And she was Celineโs granddaughter. Because of it, people were even more skeptical of her. After all, she had been labeled as useless and unskilled in medicine.
Chapter 661
โI want to extract Serenity Leaf as soon as possible,โ Elizabeth told Celine.
โYouโre right. It needs to be extracted quickly. After that, we can find suitable land nationwide to grow it. Thereโs a lot of complicated work involved. Elizabeth, if you ever get tired and want to give up, Iโll support you!โ Celine said with a relaxed smile.
Elizabeth listened quietly and just nodded. Whether she would give up, she didnโt know this well. But at this moment, she wanted to do this.
โMy agent insists I attend the jewelry exhibition on Saturday. Itโs so annoying,โ Natalia said, crossing her arms.
Elizabeth looked up. โJust go.โ
โI donโt want to. Itโs too low-class,โ Natalia snorted. She didnโt want to show up for such an activity.
โOpulent Crest Jewelry is not low-class at all. I saw one of their pieces, and it might be the next big hit. Natalia, you should go,โ Elizabeth said straightforwardly.
Natalia looked unimpressed. โWho cares about it? Have you seen the comeback piece by the famous designer Rennedy, who reappeared suddenly at dawn after years of hiding?โ
