Chapter 720

Elizabeth quickly immersed herself in the extraction of Serenity Leaf upon returning to the research institute. The extraction was very time-consuming and required constant supervision. Elizabeth’s eyes grew increasingly strained as she watched the various data appearing on the instruments. Serenity Leaf was sure to provide some important essence, but she hoped it could also yield some unexpected surprises. If it could help with SH2N, that would be even better.

Elizabeth sighed and rubbed her temples. Just then, her phone suddenly rang. She looked up and grabbed her charging phone. The phone showed messages from the institute’s group chat. There were hundreds of messages, and someone had just mentioned her, which is why she received the notification.

Elizabeth discovered that not only was she mentioned in the group chat, but she had also made it to the trending topics on Instagram. The trending topic was none other than her mentioning Kennedy at the exhibition that day. Elizabeth fell silent. Sure enough, Kennedy’s reputation was so great that simply mentioning knowing her could make it to the trending list. The trending content was quite exaggerated.

Elizabeth smirked. Have you ever seen such an emotional AI designer? Just as she was considering this, someone in the comments asked the same question: “[Have you ever seen an AI that can design like this?]” Other users quickly replied. User B replied to User A: “Don’t forget, if it’s an AI, it’s still being controlled by a human. If a human is controlling it, isn’t it normal for the designs to have emotions?” This reply received a lot of approval, with the number of likes continuously increasing.

Elizabeth thought there was some truth to it, but Kennedy was not an AI. She directly replied with her main account: “[Kennedy is not an AI.]” Soon, people noticed her comment. Immediately, news of Elizabeth personally debunking rumors about Kennedy started to appear.

Felix then promptly sent Elizabeth: “[It’s fine. Let them say whatever they want. Why did you get involved?]” Felix: “[Don’t give them more to discuss. If someone really digs into you, you’ll be in trouble.]” Elizabeth: “[I’m not afraid of that.]” Felix: “[You’re not afraid? Boss, get real. If you’re discovered, it will trigger a chain reaction!]”

If the identities of Dr. Emily, racer M, and designer Kennedy were all exposed, would Elizabeth still be able to extricate herself? Elizabeth thought about it carefully and realized he had a point. But then again… Elizabeth: “[Then what am I paying you all for? What’s Base M for? If she could be easily exposed, what were they for?]” Felix: “[I’m just worried, okay?]”

Elizabeth, dissatisfied, decisively closed Felix’s chat window. She opened the institute’s messages and scrolled to the top. Someone had seen the Instagram news and wanted to ask her but was too shy, so they asked in the group chat: “[Elizabeth knows Kennedy, is that true?]” Elizabeth pouted, and soon someone replied that it was true. And the one who replied was none other than Blair. Blair: “[Yes, Elizabeth is very capable. She even knows Kennedy. She never mentioned it, and look at how excited we all were about Kennedy’s comeback work. She must be very happy.]”

Elizabeth pouted; Blair’s words were really sarcastic. She then scrolled to the bottom, where a group of people were still demanding confirmation. They were very curious about whether… Elizabeth: “[Yes, I know her.]” The group chat quickly became excited, for Elizabeth really did know Kennedy!
