Chapter 629: Chapter 628: Slap in the Face

Under the curious gaze of everyone, only South Grant said:

"Everyone knows what Kevin Hayes did. Kevin Hayes is Fiona Grant’s senior. She brought Kevin Hayes into the company. The company treated Kevin Hayes very well and never had any conflicts with her. I really can’t understand why Kevin would do such a thing. Also, it’s true that Fiona brought the Elysian Beauty Cream into the company. However, without Fiona, doesn’t The Ellison Group have a market for Beauty Cream? Wrong, The Ellison Group was not founded in the last two years. It is the most well-established brand in Celestia and has been selling well both domestically and internationally for many years. It’s really not due to the Beauty Cream. My research and development department doesn’t consist only of Fiona Grant."

South Grant spoke clearly and logically, refuting what Fiona had just said.

At this moment, South continued: "As for what Fiona said about the technology being hers, I can’t agree with that. Rather than saying it’s hers, it would be better to say she stole someone else’s results. Fiona is very young, how could she have done so much research?"

Fiona listened to South’s words and then quietly asked Professor Tate beside her:

"Professor, do you know this person?"

"I don’t," Professor Tate said expressionlessly.

Fiona felt reassured when she heard Professor Tate say he didn’t know South, and then said: "Professor, there are many reporters present now. For the sake of the past two years I helped you in the lab, can you do me a favor later?"

Professor Tate glanced at her and said almost without thinking:

"Okay."

Fiona was reassured, thinking that as a student of the professor, she was indeed closer to him than South was.

After receiving Professor Tate’s words, Fiona spoke confidently:

"You need evidence for what you say. What’s wrong with me being young? Does my age give you an excuse to attack me? I’ve been following the professor for many years, diligently conducting research, which has resulted in today’s achievements. Can it be wiped out by a few of your words?"

South looked at her confident demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh.

Truly, Phoebe Nash gave her this courage.

"Since your professor is present, why not ask him?"

Fiona had already discussed this with Professor Tate, so she wasn’t afraid.

She came to Professor Tate and spoke:

"Professor, you tell her."

Professor Tate took the microphone, glanced at South, then looked at those present, holding a camera pointed at himself.

His least favorite thing in life was being in the limelight. He just wanted to do research quietly, and he felt very uncomfortable in such settings.

He held the microphone and when a buzzing sound came out, he felt like retreating.

But thinking about what Fiona had done, Professor Tate eventually spoke up.

"As for Fiona Grant’s research results..."

When Professor Tate paused here, everyone held their breath.

"She stole my formula. She does not have a heart dedicated to research, only a heart focused on chasing money and fame, seeking shortcuts..."

As Professor Tate said this, Fiona grabbed the microphone and shouted angrily:

"I get it, you’re South’s person. You’re colluding with him to set me up! I even considered you my teacher. You’re nothing but a profit-driven traitor."
