She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 75

"But... didn't they say she co-founded the Quantum Crystal Laboratory with Mr. Atherton?"

Someone in the back muttered the question out loud.

The Quantum Crystal Lab was the crown jewel of the institute, though it had stalled after Mr. Atherton's semi-retirement.

Hearing that, Ursula let out a cold scoff, refusing to even look Hulda in the eye. "You really believe that? Who knows what actually happened? Maybe Mr. Atherton was just doing someone a massive favor and handed her a vanity title to make her look good."

"That's enough! What kind of nonsense are you spewing?" Brandon was the first to jump up in defense, furious that she was insulting both Hulda and his mentor.

No one knew the true history of that lab better than he did.

Back then, Hulda was barely an adult, around the same age as his own daughter, Sienna. When Mr. Atherton first brought her in, she was so young that no one wanted to mentor her.

She was accustomed to being alone anyway, so she spent most of her time isolated in the top-floor lab, far away from everyone else.

The initial deductions and foundational data for the Quantum Crystal Oscillator Gyroscope were conceptualized entirely by her during those quiet hours.

When Mr. Atherton saw her work, he was absolutely stunned. Knowing this was world-leading technology, he immediately established a dedicated lab. However, because she was too young to officially head a major project on paper, he put his own name on it. In reality, the entire project was her independent brainchild, with him offering nothing more than occasional advice.

Later, for personal reasons, she had severed ties with her entire past, which included leaving the institute.

Unable to bear watching the lab collect dust, Mr. Atherton officially took it over. But he was too busy, and his health was failing, leaving him with little energy to dedicate to the research.
