Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 96

She didn't consider herself a particularly likable person.

Otherwise, in her past life, she wouldn't have had a bunch of enemies hiring hitmen to take her down.

She wasn't exactly known for her compassion, her personality as unpredictable as the weather, and she did things entirely based on her mood.

Thankfully, while she didn't have many virtues, the few she had were enough.

Miranda said, "I'm a bit busy lately, and my herb garden needs tending. Once we're back, I'll teach you how it's done. You'll have your own lab, all the equipment you need, and you can experiment to your heart's content."

Crystal's eyes lit up at the mention.

Miranda noticed her expression and added, "Of course, you can choose not to stay with me."

Crystal was a brilliant medical student with an almost obsessive passion for pharmacology, once a rising star in the field.

She had developed a new drug, only to have her achievements stolen by her mentor, who framed her for creating a banned substance, landing her in prison. Eventually, she was transferred to Redrock Detention.

What the world didn't know was that Redrock Detention, seemingly an ordinary prison, actually housed a prison within a prison.

This inner prison held some very special inmates. Genius criminals or elite wrongdoers, they were gathered here due to their significant achievements in their respective fields.

Their eccentric personalities caused constant trouble, making them a headache for the warden.

These people were unlikely to die in prison, and upon release, they might even become industry leaders or national pillars. Some of them were already earmarked by higher-ups.

Managing this group was a nightmare until Miranda came along.

"I'll go with you," Crystal decided without hesitation.

Miranda smiled and continued driving. "The world's largest pharmaceutical company probably has a position waiting for you once you finish your sentence. You might want to reconsider."

Crystal remained firm. "I told you, I'm with you."

Miranda replied, "Doing a reality show for money."

Crystal frowned. "That's beneath you."

In her mind, academics should focus solely on their research, not seek the limelight.

Miranda was speechless. She was merely going along with the world's way of making money -how was that beneath her?

"If I don't earn money, are you going to support me?"

Crystal fell silent.

Although her latest batch of drugs fetched a decent price on the black market, who ever complained about having too much money?

Miranda was essentially starting from scratch now. Not like the old days when NexMed Labs had generations of accumulated wealth enough for her to splurge.
