Chapter 169: Chapter 169: I Miss Him a Little, Nina Shaw’s Moment of Glory
At the conference hall.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for the results.
Sharon Langley stood next to Ivy Kensington, feeling nervous for her: "Ivy, are you confident you can take first place?"
Ivy thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I just did what I was supposed to do, and as for the rest, I didn’t think too much about it."
Nina Shaw stood right behind her, feeling intensely nervous inside.
Hopefully... they wouldn’t discover she had switched the entries?
In the next second, Chloe Ford came out; she was about to announce the results!
Chloe glanced around the room, not intentionally keeping everyone in suspense, and directly stated, "I announce that the one who becomes Master Gard’s final apprentice is Nina Shaw!"
Nina Shaw?
This name stunned everyone for two seconds at first.
But then they quickly realized, Nina was the daughter of The Shaw Group, and in the pharmaceutical field, she undoubtedly wouldn’t be lacking!
Standing next to Nina Shaw, Sarah Shirley heard the result, feeling a brief sour jealousy, but quickly began to flatter her: "Nina, I knew you were the best, congrats on becoming Master Gard’s apprentice."
Nina’s heart was about to jump out of her chest with nervousness; upon hearing Chloe Ford announcing her name, her tightly wound body immediately relaxed.
The gamble paid off!
She won this time!
All sorts of praises filled her ears: "Miss Shaw is truly a genius girl, she’s incredible."
"No wonder being a daughter of the Herbal Group, it’s truly eye-opening!"
"Miss Shaw, we wonder if you can do us the honor of having a meal together? We all really admire you."
Ecstasy flooded her heart, Nina tucked her hair behind her ear and feigned modesty: "Thank you, Master Gard, for your praise and everyone’s admiration. I will work even harder to learn pharmaceutical skills from my teacher."
From now on, she was Master Gard’s apprentice!
Watching this, Sharon Langley was indignant.
"Unbelievable! Why is it Nina Shaw? Are you sure Master Gard isn’t blind?"
Anyone but Nina Shaw!
Sharon felt Nina Shaw didn’t have the ability; she had mostly been abroad, learning Western medical practices. She’d never shown any special talent in pharmaceuticals. How did she miscalculate and become Master Gard’s final apprentice this time?
It’s absurd!
Ivy Kensington was quite calm. Regarding Master Gard, she held respect and admiration; unable to become his apprentice, she could still learn from him.
"Alright, the apprenticeship banquet is in three days, Nina Shaw, go home and prepare well."
At this moment, Chloe Ford spoke up.
Nina quickly responded: "I will."
In just a moment.
The news of Nina Shaw becoming Master Gard’s apprentice swept across the entire internet, and the title "genius girl" became famous overnight.
Everyone online praised: "A proper daughter of high standing, not only beautiful but also incredibly talented."
"The Shaw Group really turned things around this time; the last Holy Face Cream incident hit them hard, luckily they have a good daughter to help regain their status."
Harrison Shaw saw the news and was overjoyed, calling Nina "darling daughter" repeatedly.
"Nina, we must host a grand apprenticeship banquet so everyone knows my daughter, Harrison Shaw, is remarkable and has become Master Gard’s apprentice!"
Harrison Shaw could already envision the grand scene of the apprenticeship banquet; it would certainly be the highlight of his life!
Nina also smiled: "Dad, it’s thanks to your good upbringing."
The apprenticeship banquet in three days, she couldn’t wait any longer; it would definitely be the day she attracted everyone’s attention.
Meanwhile.
Ivy Kensington returned to the villa, spending time with Ronnie and Little One.
Julian Hawthorne had left Little One here, but where he himself had gone, no one knew.
"Mommy, why didn’t Daddy come back with you? I kind of miss him."
Ronnie and Little One were lying on the lawn together, the little girl propped up her little head curiously asking Ivy.
Upon hearing this, Ivy felt a slight unnoticeable change in her heart. Since last night, the two hadn’t contacted each other, and she didn’t know what Sebastian Blackwood was thinking now...
