Chapter 7: My Husband
Chapter 7: My Husband
She took a deep breath and looked at the clock. She was about to be late.
Suppressing her emotions, Kaley brought all the documents and hurried away from the house.
Professor Powell was one of the top experts in the country, so she must not be late.
Kaley drove to the airport.
...
"Dear colleagues, I would like to introduce Professor Powell, who was internationally renowned, to you
solemnly. Today, it's an honor that we have invited Professor Powell to help us tackle the chemical
problem we're facing currently."
In the meeting room, Kaley introduced the professor to her colleagues in the Product Development
Department.
She stood at the side, and in the middle was a vigorous middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses.
"Professor Powell, we've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time."
"With you here, I'm sure we can solve all the problems we're facing."
"With Professor Powell's help, our product can finally be developed and launched as scheduled."
After a burst of applause, the researchers below all looked at Professor Powell excitedly.
He was a real badass, who had been once nominated for the Nobel Prize in chemistry. He was an
expert in the cosmetics field, and he had helped develop many famous cosmetics in the country.
If anyone managed to impress Professor Powell and became his student or got recommendations from
him thereafter, that person would soar up in his career.
"Everyone, don't flatter me. Before I know what we're dealing with, I can't guarantee anything,"
Professor Powell said with a smile.
However, in his heart, he was confident.
Few chemical problems in the cosmetics industry in the country could stump him.
"Professor Powell, this is the data of all our research and experiments in the past year."
This was classified information. For confidentiality concerns, they had not shown Professor Powell this
data before.
"Okay."
Professor Powell took the file and read carefully.
A few hours later
Professor Powell looked gloomy.
He looked at Kaley apologetically, "President Harris, I'm sorry, but nobody in this country has tackled
the problem you've encountered. Internationally, the perfect solution to this problem has not been found
yet."
Kaley's face immediately turned pale. In order to hire Professor Powell, she had asked a lot of favors
and pulled many strings.
Professor Powell was her only hope.
If even Professor Powell was unable to solve the problem they had encountered, that meant no one in
the country could help them.
Not just in the country. According to Professor Powell, nobody in this world had found a perfect
solution.
Did it mean that the "Gone with the Mist" project had no hope to succeed? In that case, what else could
she do to save her company?
"Professor Powell, is there any solution?" There was a tinge of tremble in Kaley's voice.
Professor Powell sighed. He felt a little embarrassed. "To be honest, I have been studying this subject
recently. I have some theories, but I still need to verify them one by one. It may take countless
experiments, and there is no guarantee of success. Even if I can find the solution, I don't know how
long it'll take. It could be a year, two years, or even longer..."
Not to mention two years, the company couldn't wait for even a year.
Kaley closed her eyes in despair, and the folder in her hand fell to the ground.
The files in the folder were scattered all over the place.
"What's this?"
Professor Powell was shocked when he saw the documents scattered on the ground and the scribbles
on them.
Kaley realized that she had lost her composure. She hurriedly apologized to Professor Powell and tried
to pick up the documents on the ground.
Those were the documents that Jacob had deliberately scribbled on in order to get back at her.
"Stop. Don't touch them."
Professor Powell suddenly jumped up from his chair excitedly. Then, he squatted down and picked up
all the documents on the ground.
"Right!"
"That's it!"
"Why didn't I think of this before? I was so stupid!"
"Combining these two substances can actually produce this kind of reaction?"
"That's right. Theoretically, it's possible. Decomposition before re-composition, this method has never
been heard in the entire history of chemistry. It'll shake the chemical world and help solve many
problems."
The more he read, the more shocked Professor Powell became.
He murmured to himself.
He laughed, yelled out of shock, and frowned from time to time.
He was like a madman.
"Professor Powell, Professor Powell..."
Kaley hurriedly shouted.
She was startled. What happened to Professor Powell?
However, as Professor Powell kept talking to himself, Kaley started to realize what was happening.
She was excited and overjoyed.
Did Professor Powell find the solution?
"President Harris, it turns out that you've already found a solution. Why didn't you tell me? Did you
invite me over to embarrass me?"
After reading all the documents, Professor Powell looked at Kaley agitatedly.
He fell into an uncontrollable excitement. Despite what he had said, his tone didn't sound like he was
upset at all.
"Excuse me?"
Kaley was confused.
Didn't Professor Powell find the solution?
"President Harris, please tell me, who put forward this solution? Many of the theories are epoch-
making. This is the fastest and most efficient way to conduct the research, and it'll maximize the result.
I believe your products will shock the whole world when they're put on the market."
"Who would expect this difficult problem that had troubled the whole world to be solved in such a
simple way? It's simply incredible!"
Professor Powell said excitedly.
Some of the theories were new to him, but through theoretical analysis, he knew they were absolutely
correct.
From the tip of the iceberg, Professor Powell could tell that this person's attainments in chemistry were
definitely beyond his reach.
His theories were innovative and cutting-edge.
"Professor Powell, are you saying that this is the solution?"
Kaley asked as she looked at the scribbles on her documents.
"Yes. It's the best solution."
Professor Powell said resolutely.
This wasn't just a solution to her product development. It was a significant breakthrough in the history
of chemistry.
Only now did Kaley finally take the contents written by Jacob seriously.
She thought Jacob scribbled on the documents in order to get back at her, so she didn't take a closer
look.
After hearing Professor Powell's words, Kaley decided to read the file carefully.
The more she read, the more shocked she became.
Although Kaley wasn't an expert in chemistry, she was in charge of a cosmetic company. With the
knowledge she had learned in school, she could roughly understand this stuff.
This ... this seemed to be a feasible and effective solution.
Was this written by Jacob?
The chemical problem that had troubled the company for a year - and even the entire world, according
to Professor Powell - had been solved by Jacob?
She was shocked when she found that Jacob, who had been a loser for several years, had medical
skills.
Now, he was also an expert in chemistry?
Kaley found it hard to believe.
Or to be precise, she didn't have the courage to believe it.
"President Harris, please tell me, which expert gave you this solution? Where is he? I must pay him a
visit immediately."
"No, I want him to be my teacher."
"I have so many things to learn from him."
Professor Powell was excited.
Teacher!
Learn from him!
Kaley was shocked upon hearing those words.
Professor Powell, who had been nominated for the Nobel Prize in chemistry, a world-renowned
chemist, actually wanted Jacob to be his teacher.
...
The shock Kaley experienced was beyond description.
Looking at Professor Powell's excited expression, Kaley felt that if she didn't tell him who had come up
with the solution, he might faint out of agitation. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
She hurriedly said, "This, this solution was written by Jacob Reyes."
It was Professor Powell's turn to be shocked.
Jacob Reyes?
There was no such person in the field of chemistry.
"Who is Jacob Reyes?" Professor Powell asked.
Who was Jacob Reyes?
Kaley didn't know how to answer that.
After a pause, she said awkwardly, "My ... my husband."
