Not only had Miranda thought about it, but she was already taking action. Of course, she couldn’t tell Joli that. Instead, she said, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. We’ll figure it out.” 

“Then, I wish you all the best,” he replied and turned to leave. 

“Joli!” Suddenly, she called after him. “Sometimes, you should be selfish and think about yourself. Your can’t rely on someone else forever and expect to stand tall, right?” 

Joli smiled. “Thanks for the reminder. I know what I’m doing.” 

“What? You didn’t get the key?” Sophie’s frown deepened as she glared at Tina. “How do you handle 

things?” 

“Miranda said the key has already been handed over and that it’s against the rules to give it to me. What was I supposed to do–steal it?” Tina shot back. Her patience was wearing thin, and Sophie’s questioning tone only grated on her nerves. 

Was it really fair to place all the blame on her? Tina felt that asking Miranda for the key was already unreasonable. Just like Miranda had pointed out, who were they and why should she give them the keys? 

Tina felt that Sophie was making her the scapegoat. Though she wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, she wasn’t clueless either. 

“Dr. Xander, can I ask you something?” she asked. “Why do you insist on getting the key from Miranda?” 

She added, “What’s so special about a rundown lab? Oh, right. There’s a CPRT machine in there. But don’t we already have two? Why do we need more?” 

Tina’s question struck a nerve, and Sophie exploded in anger like a cat whose tail had just been stepped on. “You’re asking too many questions. If your ability to get things done matched your sharp tongue, you wouldn’t struggle with something so simple!” 

Tina was a wealthy socialite born with a silver spoon in her mouth. How could she endure this kind of disrespect? 

She showed Sophie a degree of deference because Sophie opened a backdoor for her that helped her gain admission to graduate school. 

But Tina had also given Sophie plenty in return. She had gifted Sophie lavish items like gourmet honey and emerald jewelry, which added up to a staggering seven figures. 

She had recently spent a fortune on another CPRT machine and reluctantly sold some of her favorite handbags to cover the cost. 

As Tina’s financial contributions grew, her gratitude toward Sophie dwindled. There was a saying, “The one who pays calls the shots.” 

When was a big spender ever seen as a pushover? Their relationship was built on money, Tina keep feeling indebted?
