Chapter 628: Chapter 627: The Professor Takes Action

"Her words need not be said here, but can I at least say my words here?"

Fiona Grant heard this familiar voice, and her heart missed a beat.

She saw in an inconspicuous spot among the crowd, an elderly man took off his hat, revealing his salt-and-pepper hair.

This person was none other than Professor Tate.

Fiona said in surprise, "Professor, why are you here?"

At this time, with the help of someone beside him, Professor Tate climbed onto the stage from the nearby steps.

"My good student is starting a company; of course, I’m here to show my support."

Fiona watched Professor Tate’s expression, her heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.

South Grant had no relation with Professor Tate, yet she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was some connection between the two. Was she overthinking it?

"Professor, why didn’t you call me before you came? I could have sent a car to pick you up," Fiona said with a smile.

Old Man Tate was still useful to her. Throughout his life, he researched countless beneficial things for the skin but never revealed them.

She had only used a few of his formulas and had managed to reach her current status. As long as she kept him pleased, there would be plenty of opportunities for wealth in the future.

"You already mentioned at the hospital last time that today’s the company’s launch ceremony, so I came to give you a surprise," Professor Tate said blandly.

Fiona glanced at South, then ignored him, approached Professor Tate, reached out to support him, and said:

"As long as you’re not mad at me, Professor, I’m just eager for more people to know about your research."

After Fiona finished speaking, those below were oblivious to what was happening above. Many top-tier stars were present, along with many journalists due to Fiona’s previous promotions. Someone then asked:

"Miss Grant, are you aware of Kevin Hayes’ poisoning incident at The Ellison Group? Are you involved in this matter, and is this a tactic to better launch your product?"

"Miss Grant, you used to be in The Ellison Group’s R&D department. Now that you’ve started your own company, have you brought their technology to your company?"

There were many questions regarding this, and everyone was asking.

On stage, Fiona’s face grew more and more unsightly. After they finished asking, she calmly responded:

"First, I had no knowledge of Kevin Hayes’ actions, and it has nothing to do with me. Also, I heard someone ask whether I brought The Ellison Group’s technology into my company. Let me clarify: I didn’t bring The Ellison Group’s technology into my company; rather, I brought my own technology into The Ellison Group, which is why their Beauty Cream is such a market success. Many employees at The Ellison Group can testify to that. Moreover, everyone can see the elderly man standing beside me; he’s a professor at Ardenne University, my mentor. He’s spent his entire life researching skincare. All my research was learned from him, so how can it be credited to The Ellison Group? Right now, The Ellison Group shouldn’t be worried about their declining stocks but about what products they can offer to support the company after this storm. After all, without me, it’s really concerning what they can develop."

Fiona said this, slightly tilting her head to look at South Grant, and smiled, saying, "Sister, don’t you agree?"

After hearing Fiona, South Grant extended her hand and applauded her.
