Chapter 475 - 418: Taking You Home
After the last exam, Daisy Zane went to the examination hall to pick people up again.
This time, she came by herself because William Lane and Kevin Clark were busy with a meeting at the research institute.
Daisy Zane had brought a bouquet of pink roses for her, not for any special reason, but because she remembered that Amelie Quentin loved pink roses, so she bought some.
So, when Amelie Quentin came out and saw the bouquet of roses, she stared at Daisy Zane for a while before refusing to let go of the flowers.
“Where to?” Daisy Zane asked, looking at the delight in her face.
“Why don’t you ask me how I did on my exams first?” replied Amelie Quentin.
Daisy Zane noticed that someone was filming her on their cell phone, so she started the car first. “How did the exams go?”
Amelie Quentin grinned, “They said the questions were quite challenging this year. So… I guess I got a perfect score.”
Daisy Zane laughed, “Hmm, pretty good.”
“Then you remember the wish I made.”
“Yep, I remember it.” Daisy Zane hit the main road and asked again, “Where to?”
Amelie Quentin thought for a while, “Can you take me home?”
Daisy Zane arched an eyebrow, “Sure.”
“Do you need a GPS?” asked Amelie Quentin, hesitating.
Daisy Zane glanced at her and smiled, “Just head east. Anyone in the Imperial Capital should know where the Lane Family lives, right?”
Amelie Quentin pursed her lips.
Seeing that she was quiet, Daisy Zane asked after a while, “Have you thought of any course you want to pursue?”
“Pharmaceutical Formulation,” Amelie Quentin immediately replied.
“Do you like it?” Daisy Zane asked.
“I want to be with you guys.”
“Choose what you like,” Daisy Zane said. “Even if you don’t get into the research institute, we will still be together. Plus, once you join the institute and get involved in different projects, there’s a chance we might not see each other for months.”
Amelie Quentin hadn’t considered these issues before.
Indeed, if they were involved in different projects, and by the time she finishes her work, the rest could still be busy. And by the time they’re done, she might be busy again.
“Then I’ll think about it again,” Amelie Quentin said.
Daisy Zane didn’t want her to join the research institute for personal reasons. If she liked it, there’s nothing for her to remark upon, but if it’s for this reason, she would not advise it.
At least from what can be seen now, the research institute might not be peaceful, with troubles both inside and outside, which is very dangerous.
“Choose what you like,” Daisy Zane said. “Anything is fine, as long as you like it.”
“Hmm.” Amelie Quentin agreed, “Then, I will pick again.”
Daisy Zane dropped Amelie Quentin off at the entrance to the Lane Family.
Upon arrival, they both did not get off the car.
Daisy Zane looked at the building outside, the ancient manor, solemn, luxurious, and mysterious.
Amelie Quentin followed her gaze for a while, before asking, “Do you want to come in and sit for a while?”
Daisy Zane pulled back her gaze and looked at Amelie Quentin, hesitating before declining, “No.”
A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Amelie Quentin’s face.
Seeing her upset, Daisy Zane added, “Some other day.”
Amelie Quentin turned to look at her, blinked her eyes, and was just about to speak when Daisy Zane beat her to it, “Don’t ask which day ‘Some other day’ is.”
Amelie Quentin:
Daisy Zane chuckled lightly, “Go on, go home.”
“Oh.” Amelie Quentin got out of the car, clutching the flowers. Just as she was about to close the car door, she stopped and held the door open, “In a few days, it’s Phoebe Turner’s birthday party, are you going?”
Daisy Zane had indeed received the invitation a few days ago.
“I will probably go,” Daisy Zane said.
They had been incredibly busy at the research institute for nearly a month, continuously repeating experiments and confirming that the data related to drunken life grass on the storage card was indeed erroneous.
Moreover, the data discrepancy was even larger than what they initially discovered.
The decomposition of 319 has entered a certain stagnation phase again.
During this time, she had developed a new experimental method based on the existing data. Both Kevin Clark and Ezekiel Santiago agreed with this method.
In the words of Ezekiel Santiago.
This child, Nicholson Amos, is the researcher I have seen who likes to blaze new trails the most.
She is never confined to existing methods, she is always innovating and carving new paths. Moreover, she has the ability to do so.
It seemed that the construction inside her head was more advanced than ordinary people.
But the new path she opened, the new method she created, has progressed very slowly.
Indeed, there is hope to deconstruct its components, and maybe even restore some of the drunken life grass data based on the completed decomposition of 319 and the existing Immortal.
But this method, without two or three years, may not yield results.
Now they are experimenting with her new method while she is also looking for a faster method.
But there has been no new progress so far.
So… the busiest period has passed.
This stagnation period, bottleneck period, she’s not so busy.
At least she has time to attend a banquet in the evening.
Moreover, Phoebe Turner had invited her more than once.
During the filming, Phoebe Turner played a role again. Even before the wrap-up of the film, Phoebe Turner personally invited her once.
Later, Xavier Dominic sent an invitation, and Phoebe had messaged her once again.
“Then I will join too,” Amelie Quentin said.
“Alright.” Daisy Zane said, “Go home.”
“Hmm.”
Phoebe Turner’s birthday banquet this time was a huge event.
There was no special reason. It was just that, a marketing account had been spreading rumors about her tumultuous marriage, even with specific details.
Although it seemed like convincing rumors, she didn’t pay any mind to it at first.
But suddenly someone started to target her husband, blatantly flirting with him.
Even some people targeted her, sending flowers, bags, jewelry, and even real estate.
Then Xavier Dominic got angry first.
What were they doing? He had a big son right here, right?
Flirting with his dad and seducing his mom.
Where did that leave him?
So, he suggested hosting the birthday banquet. To clarify false news, and then… strengthen some relationships.
Every year, their family, a titan in the entertainment industry, hosted events, which were mostly attended by people from inside the industry.
They took this opportunity to throw a big party and forge relationships with people in the Imperial Capital’s business circle.
The venue was still the Doomsday Hotel and many people attended.
The Clark Family, with Theo Clark included, came by, and from the Lane Family, Andrew Lane brought his wife along.
Most attendees were equals to Phoebe Turner, the older generation wasn’t present.
Kevin Clark and Daisy Zane arrived early. When they arrived, the banquet had not yet begun.
Both of them went to Phoebe Turner’s room first.
Daisy Zane had specifically brought a gift for Phoebe Turner.
It was a set of jewelry that she had designed herself.
She had drawn the design very early, and it had been kept in Felix Baker’s safe all this while.
Before joining the group last year, she went to Spotlight to get some design drawings she had drawn before, made some modifications, then asked Felix Baker to produce the finished items.
But they had not been released yet.
Because the release conference of Spotlight was still in preparation.
This was one of them. Daisy Zane felt that it was very suitable for Phoebe Turner, so she took it as a birthday gift to her.
After receiving the gift, Phoebe Turner loved it, and it matched her dress for today.
So, she wore the necklace and earrings from the set.
