Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 531

"Just because I, Duke, have got properties, loads of them! I've always been the one giving people the boot, not the other way around!"

"It all boils down to having your own stuff. That's when you stand tall! The university lent us this rundown shack, no CPR training dummies, missing fire safety equipment. We break our backs producing research, and who gets the credit? The university!" "Is that fair? I don't think so!"

The idea of being slighted like this was something Mamie, the landlady, had never faced before.

"What's the big deal? It's just a rundown shack, and we even had to buy the equipment ourselves!"

Her fiery temper was just too much to handle.

Her rant left Scales and Roseanne absolutely gobsmacked.

"Er... hope I didn't scare you guys?" Mamie's round face flashed a quick look of embarrassment, as she hurriedly explained, "I'm not usually like this, really. Just occasionally, my temper gets the best of me... Ahem!" Scales swallowed hard: "..."

But Roseanne's eyes sparkled with excitement, nodding vigorously, "What Mamie said is exactly what I've been thinking! As long as the lab is borrowed from the university, we'll never be in charge."

The university could take it back whenever they wanted, find fault, or lend it to another group.

They were like lambs to the slaughter, lying flat, ready to be carved up.

"So... we stop borrowing from the university?" Mamie ventured.

Roseanne nodded.
