The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1524

The next day.

Calvin went to see Hank, choosing the same spot where they had last met.

"…about the patent matter, I only found out after Mr. Zane from our department mentioned it—that he had already gone ahead and filed the application."

Calvin's lips curled into a bitter smile as he explained.

Hank tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his face not showing the annoyance Calvin had anticipated, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Calvin, you shouldn't be too hard on yourself. The actions of the teachers in your department are understandable," Hank said lightly.

Calvin chuckled awkwardly, finding no words to respond.

"However...to do such a thing without any heads-up does impact everyone's relations," Hank's gaze fell on Calvin, his voice quite soft.

Calvin felt a jump in his heart, knowing that even though it wasn't their side's fault, he still lowered his stance, nodding repeatedly at Hank, "Yes, you're right, Hank. This action indeed hurt the harmony."

Hank's lips twitched slightly, picking up his coffee cup and sipping leisurely, "We at Dane value the patent for this project greatly."

Calvin was momentarily stunned; he naturally knew of Dane.

A top researcher who had made numerous contributions to the nation, but he hadn't expected him to be interested in this.

Calvin felt overwhelmed, cursing Zane in his heart. If only he had spoken up sooner, it wouldn't have led to such an awkward situation.

Taking a deep breath, Calvin apologized again, "Given the current situation, I really am…"

Before he could finish saying "powerless," Hank's assistant, who was standing by his side, interrupted.

"Right, I remember the patent certificate hasn't been issued yet, is it possible to withdraw the application?"
