    Frankie gazed longingly at Yvette andmented, "Yvette, you are so merciless! I swear, I''ll never y cards again. As he spoke, he pushed hisst chips towards her, having lost everything.


    Yvette reclined with nonchnce, raising her gaze to reply indiferently, "ying cards without using your brain will lead to defeat; relying solely on luck is pointless."


    Frankie fell silent. He wished he could think strategically, but hecked the cleverness Yvette possessed.


    Yvette then turned her attention to the other two, her eyes questioning whether Joe and Sienna wished to continue the


    game.


    Joe and Sienna stared at their meager pile of chips. If they kept ying, they would soon find themselvespletely out of funds.


    Yvette casually sipped her orange juice before rising from her seat. Addressing them slowly, she remarked. "It''s been amusing; maybe next time... Frankie abruptly stood up. "No next time. Yvette. Our game isn''t suited for you, honestly."


    For a rare moment, all three agreed in silence; no one wanted to y with Yvette again. The inevitable oue made the game entirely meaningless.


    Yvette looked at them and shrugged, feeling somewhat rejected. She chose not to speak and retreated upstairs. A solitary genius often walks a lonely path.


    The following morning, Ss returned to theb. Although his vacation wasn''t over, he had cherished those ten days and felt content. Not only had Ss returned, but several senior researchers from theb had also rejoined, bringing new energy to


    the space.


    Klein knocked on Ss''s door, holding thetest experimental report.


    "Enter, Silás called out.


    When Klein pushed open the door, he found Ss tending to a potted flower-the only bloom in the entireboratory, which Ss cherished deeply. Ss personally pruned and cared for it; it seemed to be a gift from someone significant.


    Klein adjusted his sses and ced the documents on the desk speaking gravely. "Ss, I''vepiled all of Yvette''s recent data for you. Yvette has resolved the issues with the enhanced No. 7 Toxin entirely."Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Ss set down the watering can and turned slowly, his restful terys having replenished his spirit. He looked at Klein and gently said, "Just ce it there. The experiment has stabilized, so we can move forward."


    Sitting in his office chair, Ss regarded Klein and asked, "How has this past week been for you?"


    The fact that Yvette hadn''t dismissed Klein indicated her endorsement.


    Klein, his expression a mix of emotions, nodded respectfully and said earnestly, "Ss, Yvette is a genius. I''ve learned so much this past werk." Ss smiled warmly, reading the sincerity in Klein''s eyes. "You''remendable too, otherwise, she wouldn''t have kept you This is an opportunity others can only dream of, you will coborate with her on the remaining experiments for enhances No. 7 Toxin."


    Ss was truly surprised that only Klein remained, he hadn''t expected that everyone else wouldn''t meet expectations. Yet, it was a situation of their own creation.

    One day. Yvette''s true identity would undoubtedly be revealed, and he hoped the other interns wouldn''t regret their ci


    Klein stood momentarily stunned by Ss''s praise. It was the first time he had ever received suchmendation. He I often sought to build a better rtionship with Ss for better resources, never imagining Yvette would be the one to p him such benefits.


    As as reviewed the data, satisfaction lit up his expression. Yvette''s elliciency was unmatched; her only real w was a tendency towardsziness, Klein quietly waited, and seeing the smile on Ss''s face, he understood just how pleased his superior truly was.


    After reviewing all the data. Ss looked up at Klein and said, "You may go."


    Klein nodded but remained still. Ss, noticing his hesitation, asked, "What is it? Is there something else on your mind?


    After a brief pause, Klein could no longer contain his curiosity and asked, "Ss, Yvette doesn''t have a degree from a prestigious university, nor is her name known in medical circles. Who exactly is she?"


    Given Klein''s usual caution, he should have refrained from such questions, but curiosity got the better of him. This ques had been on his mind since Yvette arrived.


    Ss''s expression darkened slightly, but he saw no malice in Klein''s eyes. After a moment, he replied. "In this world, many people are indifferent to fame and status; Yvette is one of them. One day, you''ll learn her true identity."


    Ss couldn''t reveal that Yvette graduated with perfect scores after just one year of university; as for fame, it likely meant little to her, possibly less than the value of a hamburger.


    Realizing he could no longer press the matter, Klein left Ss''s office and returned to his desk, lost in thought.


    Adrian, who usually got along with Klein, approached and ced a hand on his shoulder. "What are you daydreaming abo Kleint


    Snapping back to reality, Klein shook his head. "Nothing, Adrian.


    As Adrian turned to leave, Klein stopped him with a serious tone Adrian, do you know Yvette? Ss invited her to mentor us during the break." Upon hearing Yvette''s name, Adrian''s expression shifted dramatically. The usually suave man couldn''t suppress an expletiv in surprise.


    He looked at Klein enviously. "Wow, this big shot has returned. No wonder you''re the only intern left from this batch


    Klein, surprised by Adrian''s reaction, had asked casually; he never expected that Adrian knew Yvette.


    Klein queried, puzzled, "Isn''t this her first time at theb?"


    Adrian shook his head, his demeanor growing mysterious. "What a joke! Yvette used to spend time in theb every year, but she''s been less frequent in recent years. Surely you''ve heard of intum Lab?"


    Klein nodded but he didn''t know why Adrian mentioned Quantum Lab, so he asked, "What about Quantum Lab!"


    Adrian replied, "Quantum Lab was initially established for Yvettes experiments; everything in it was designed by her ording to her specifications. You, my friend, are incredibly fortunate. Among the eight of you, Yvette chose to keep you, your future is limitless"


    Klein was left dumbfounded, his shock evident. No wonder Yver could gain entry with just a nce. "Are you saying Quantum Lab was designed by her and built at her request?


    Adrian nodded eagerly, "Exactly! There''s so much you don''t know just by arriving here. Even Ss shows Yvette the utmost
