Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed



She paused, "Any amount that goes over budget, I'll cover it as soon as possible. Just make sure everything is done to the highest standard!" After wrapping up her dinner meeting with Halley, Roseanne immediately shared the latest updates with Mamie and Scales.

Mamie: "Roseanne, don't sweat the money. I'll just hit up my dad, Duke, for it..."

Meanwhile, back in his cozy living room in the heart of Georgia, with a TV show playing, a cup of coffee in hand, and cracking some pecans, Duke sneezed loudly. "Ah-choo! Ah-choo!"

"Are you catching a cold?"

"Absolute nonsense! It's just my darling daughter thinking about me!"

"

Before Mamie could finish, Roseanne sighed, "Do you think your dad won't have a fit if he finds out you promised money without even asking him?"

Mamie chuckled, "Worry not! To him, money's just numbers. What I'm asking for wouldn't even make a dent."

"..." That's a bit presumptuous.

But in the end, Roseanne still refused Mamie's offer, "I'll take care of the extra expenses."

"But..."

"No buts. It's settled."

That settled it!

Scales cleared his throat, startling Mamie: "You're so quiet, I almost forgot you were here."

Scales, with a hint of regret in his voice, said, "Sorry, I couldn't be of help with the finances."

His family's situation didn't allow him to withdraw such a large amount of cash.

It wasn't that he didn't have it, it was just... complicated.

Roseanne smiled, "With Mamie and me covering the finances, we're set. Your role lies elsewhere..." Scales: "?"

It wasn't her being overly cautious, but rather being prepared for any situation.

Scales: "Consider it done."

Halley was quick to act, and construction started on an auspicious day just three days later.

Meanwhile, over at Kingswell University, the deadline for vacating the lab had arrived.

That morning, apart from Edna herself, her entire team was present, including the rarely seen Carlson.

Slater was particularly agitated, as if he wished he could physically sweep them out the door himself.

Mamie retorted with disgust, "Why do I feel sick every time you open your mouth? Did you swallow something nasty?"

Slater: "You're the one who's nasty! Your whole family is nasty!"

He stood far away, leaning forward as if ready for a fight, no different from a quarreling street vendor.

Mamie couldn't help but laugh.

"Come closer and say that."

Slater wanted to confront them, but remembering how he'd been physically rebuffed by the trio before made him hesitate.

He swallowed hard, "Well then... come at me!"

Mamie nodded with a grin, "Alright, I'm coming~"

As she started to move the equipment, Slater panicked and ended up hiding behind Sybil.
