《Ham for Shares? Fine, Enjoy Losing Everything》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 8 章

The moment those words fell, my colleagues all raised their glasses toward Avery Blake."Congratulations, Ms. Blake! Lead us to greater success from here on!""Avery, you're amazing! Studying abroad really sets you apart, unlike some people who only know the same old tricks!"I said nothing and simply stared at them.Melissa Richmond, Avery's ever-loyal follower, let out a mocking laugh. "Some people really have no talent at all, but when it comes to throwing attitude, they're absolute pros."Someone chuckled and chimed in, "Cut her some slack. Anyone would fall apart after watching ten million dollars in shares turn into a hundred and fifty dollars' worth of ham. I wouldn't be able to take it either."Melissa added self-righteously, "Avery earned this with her own ability. It's not like she climbed up through connections.""Mr. Faraday has remarkable insight. Avery is exactly the kind of talent the company needs. At this pace, going public is inevitable."Avery smiled modestly

The crowd immediately broke into a heated discussion."Ms. Gunner has been leading the Alphalink Project for years, but progress has been rather slow. Could it really be…""People's true intentions are hard to read. Who knows what is really going on behind the scenes?""If the shares end up with Avery, Mr. Faraday must have been deceived."Their remarks dripped with sarcasm, fueled by the satisfaction of exploiting my misfortune and a blatant distortion of the truth. It seemed they had all forgotten that this laboratory had been built from the ground up. Every piece of equipment and every research decision had been shaped by my unwavering effort over countless days and nights.Draco said in a self-righteous tone, "Erica, are you really prepared to let everyone else's efforts go to waste because of your own selfish motives?"Avery looked toward the wall filled with certificates and awards and sighed. "Draco, I think these hollow honors have blinded Erica. How can she confront

Draco went quiet on the other end, clearly caught off guard by my refusal.After a short pause, he snapped, "Erica! What kind of attitude is this? Don't forget, you're still my fiancee! This is a matter of life and death. How can you stand by and do nothing?""Fiancee?" I responded with a hint of mockery. "Draco, when you forced me to hand over the core results and stood by while Avery broke Linda's arm, you didn't remember that. Now that something has gone wrong, you suddenly bring up my obligations? That's ridiculous.""You…" Draco was momentarily speechless. After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Erica, I never realized you were this cold-hearted. You simply can't accept Avery doing better than you, so you deliberately left flaws behind to sabotage her, didn't you?"I couldn't be bothered to argue further. I said coldly, "I have no obligation, nor the ability, to handle this situation. Mr. Faraday, you should deal with it yourself."Draco went silent. On the li

On the third day after the topic began trending, Rutherford Pharmaceuticals' official platform released a public announcement."Rutherford Pharmaceuticals warmly welcomes internationally renowned biologist and original creator of the Alphalink Project, Dr. Erica Gunner, along with her core research team. "Dr. Gunner will serve as the Director of the Group's Advanced Biotech Laboratory and Chief Scientist, taking full charge of the continued development and commercialization of the Alphalink Project."The announcement also attached my personal résumé, which clearly detailed my leading publications and awards. It immediately triggered a huge wave of reactions across the internet."What the hell, is this a reversal?""Rutherford Pharmaceuticals? That well-known, established pharma company? They're taking Erica in now? Could all those allegations have been false?""I knew it. Dr. Gunner never gave off that impression.""Hold on, original creator of the Alphalink Project? Didn't Far
