Chapter 361

Digby did not particularly like Audrey. To him, she was like a poisonous scorpion—beautiful, but deadly.

He couldn’t afford to provoke her. His only recourse was to go along and keep his distance. However, David was involved this time.

He looked up at the second-floor cafeteria and finally walked up.

Josie said her idea came from David, so Digby wanted to find David to clarify things.

Halfway through the meal, the conversation didn’t get to the point.

David seemed genuinely interested in connecting with him, constantly discussing academic topics, but Digby couldn’t get a word in.

In short, David kept boasting about his achievements to Digby.

Anyone else might have been so captivated by David that they would lose themselves, eager to join his team.

But Digby was no longer young and naive. He had also accomplished the kind of achievements David was talking about.

However, they weren’t attributed to him in the end, but rather contributed to his team at that time.

Just as the meal was about to finish, Digby couldn’t hold back anymore.

He asked, “Professor Lawson, since you brought up the topic of experiments, I have a question for you.

“When it comes to traditional cytology research, what aspect do you usually start with?”

“Naturally…” David’s reply was conventional, reflecting traditional thinking, and completely different from what Josie had said.

Digby, a bit confused, asked again, “What if the experiment hits a stall and you are unable to get the correct data?

“Should we still continue repeating the experiment based on traditional thinking?”

David said with a serious expression, “That’s exactly right.

“Medical research is inherently a tedious, complex, and ever-changing field.

“We must be patient and continuously repeat experiments to obtain the most accurate experimental data!”

Digby frowned slightly. “That’s not right, I heard that you have an unconventional way of thinking…”

Digby recounted to David what Josie had said.

David said, “Josie said this, didn’t she? That girl always has strange ideas. She is unwilling to make steady progress and is always looking for shortcuts.

“But how can there be shortcuts in medical research? She used to be my student, so I was able to guide her to some extent.

“However, now, I’m probably not qualified to do so anymore. Even if I tried to guide her, she likely wouldn’t listen!

“Digby, you are a rare research talent. Don’t be fooled by that naive girl. Her strange experimental ideas are completely unacceptable. You must not believe her!”

David looked sincere, as if he truly didn’t want Digby to be deceived.

“Is that so?” Digby chuckled, his smile showing a hint of helplessness.

He said, “I actually thought her ideas originated from you, Professor Lawson. After all, you’ve always been very successful!”

David waved his hand, “How could I teach her such unconventional thinking?

“Those are all her own wild ideas. This girl really knows how to use my name to deceive people everywhere. It’s outrageous.

“Digby, you are a senior researcher in the institute. How can your experimental thinking be swayed by an ignorant girl who just spouts nonsense?”

Audrey chimed in. “Exactly. Jeremy, disregarding his position, fully favors his wife.

“He is treating the institute’s resources as if they were the Reedshaw family’s own. That’s already unfair to everyone.

“And now, how can he still allow an ignorant girl to freely enter the laboratory and tell senior researchers what to do? What does he take you for?

“Is he genuinely doing research, or is he satisfying his wife’s selfish desires, fulfilling their personal interests?

“Digby, don’t let them use you and let that naive girl walk all over you.”

Digby originally hadn’t made up his mind to experiment with Josie’s formula, but now he really wanted to try it.

He thought, ‘Given that David was aware of Josie’s peculiar experimental methods early on, why didn’t he dismiss her from the start?

‘Instead, he allowed her to remain in the team for several years.
