Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 212



Stoddard had the same reservations, so he didn't step forward to defend Roseanne.

Liz, with an air of superiority, sneered, "You know, self-awareness is a virtue. How can a biology major even dream of critiquing the physics team's data? It's laughable."

Just then, Sammy, who had been glued to his computer screen typing away furiously, suddenly shot up with excitement, "I just recalculated everything, and Roseanne was right!" Liz's voice cut off abruptly, as if someone had suddenly grabbed her by the throat.

Jen and Stoddard exchanged puzzled looks.

Sammy clarified, "It's not 50 and 71, but 50.2 and 70.88! This slight deviation threw off all the numbers after the seventh node."

That's the thing about research; a small mistake can lead to a huge misstep.

Stoddard immediately leaned over the screen, carefully rechecking the figures with the corrected values of 50.2 and 70.88. Sure enough, all subsequent numbers aligned perfectly!

His eyes lit up with realization. "That's it; the problem was in the seventh node!"

Jen double-checked the calculations and found them to be accurate. Suddenly, the way she looked at Roseanne changed. Her expression was a mix of surprise, amazement, disbelief, and a touch of guilt. She hadn't stood up for Roseanne earlier...

Sammy turned to Roseanne, saying, "We owe you one! We've been stuck on this data for three days. If it weren't for your timely discovery, we'd still be wasting who knows how much time on a wild goose chase." Roseanne remained calm, even when Liz had been openly hostile towards her earlier, her demeanor hadn't flinched-

"I just got lucky and stumbled upon it. Even if it hadn't been me, with Mr. Stoddard's quick calculations, it would've been discovered soon enough."

Her response was far from modest, considering she was aware of the nuanced and thoughtful nature of Jen and Sammy. And Liz was not to be underestimated either.

Without her, they would've eventually pinpointed the issue as well.

Jen's gaze softened further, filled with a complex mix of admiration and regret.

Roseanne had to admit to herself that she had been with them for nearly half a month, and despite their outward behavior, there was an underlying reservation.

Having only completed her undergraduate studies and not

yet

started her graduate program, Roseanne's capabilities were presumed to be at the

undergraduate level.

Knowledge, after all, is hierarchical.

Especially in a leading lab like theirs, handling-top-tier projects with the best resources and aiming to benefit society and humanity, even the most humble could not help but feel a sense of superiority.

This superiority came from their work, their abilities, and though they were willing to engage with Roseanne, there was a gap in what they could discuss. Because she might not understand, making any effort to explain seem futile.

So, they simply didn't bother.

Moreover, her mysterious background and unclear relationship with Owen added to their reluctance to interact with her.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

All these factors led to a general reluctance to engage with Roseanne, even bordering on disrespect.

It was only today that Jen realized they had underestimated this young woman.

The most embarrassed person, however, was Liz.

Her previous speech, filled with righteous indignation, now made her face burn with shame!

Before her outburst, she hadn't considered the possibility that "Roseanne could be right."

How could an undergraduate, especially one from a biology background, possibly correct a physics problem?
