Chapter 146: Confrontations and Revelations

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

Elder Margaret Blackwood and Alexander Blackwood had arrived in Riverside City and checked into the Moonstone Manor for the nanomedicine project. When Marcus and I arrived, we found Professor Andrew Kelly’s research team discussing with Margaret in the spacious private dining chamber.

The chamber was elegantly appointed with crystal chandeliers casting warm light over polished mahogany

furniture. Several researchers sat around the oval table, their papers and tablets scattered across the

surface.

Upon seeing us approach, Margaret greeted us warmly. “Elena, Marcus, you’re here.”

named Sophie who submitted an impressive thesis.”

My eyes flickered as I looked at him. The name wasn’t coincidental.

Professor Kelly’s expression grew pled. “She’s not really my student. I was impressed by her thesis, but

her character seems questionable, which I find regrettable.”

I couldn’t resist the opportunity. “You mean Sophia Rivers‘ thesis on neural stem cell transplantation? Quite

advanced even by today’s standards.”

Margaret’s eyes widened in shock. “The student is Sophia?”
