Three seconds later, Fabian said indignantly, “I indeed have no f*cking proof!”He thought about it and got angrier. ‘I’ve been so close to Cameron for so many years, yet I’ve failed to gain any shred of evidence I can threaten him with. All I can do is suck up to him nonstop.‘Anyway, after so many years, he should somewhat appreciate my effort. Even if I were just a dog, he should have thrown me with a bone, shouldn’t he? He just enjoys pretending to be someone just and impartial!’“So what did he say? Didn’t he promise you? Did he take money from the Russell family?” Maria asked carefully.“How would I know?” Fabian said impatiently, kicked off the stool beside him, then sat on the sofa. Remembering something with a frown, he looked up and asked, “Where’s Rhea?”“She returned to the lab.” Maria spread her arms and looked curious. “Why? Is it because she shoved Tasia? If it’s because of that, I’ll apologize to Tasia!”“Not that!” Fabian waved and calmed down, then started to th
“How can there be anything we’re unaware of? You know what your daughter is like. She’s just a nerd, and unlike other girls, all she does is read books, study, and conduct her experiments.“I think Cameron is just trying to fool you.” Maria was so protective of her daughter that she did not think anything could be wrong with her.The truth was that Fabian did not get it either. Although his wife was biased, she was right that the chance of Rhea interacting with Cameron was meager as she hardly even hung out with Anastasia.‘These two didn’t enjoy playing together when they were young and hardly met one another, leading their own lives as grownups. How could Ree possibly offend Ron?’Maria noticed how quiet Fabian was and asked, despite herself, “So the project has gone up in smoke?”Fabian looked gloomy when his wife mentioned that. “It’s a done deal. What can I do about it? I couldn’t possibly take the project from the Russell family by force. It wouldn’t work.”“Then what shoul
When Mike left the office, he glanced over his shoulder and saw that Rhea was not leaving. He could not say much because the masked man said nothing. Feeling the inside of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, a bloody taste assaulted his throat as he left quietly.After he was gone, Rhea took a step forward. “Sir, are you truly going to let him off just like that? You know Mike is disloyal and he’s not doing this for the organization…”“If he’s not, what about you?” Staring at her coldly, there was mistrust in his eyes.Rhea pursed her lips. “At least I share the same goal and direction with you, sir. My mind is fully on the research. It’s a great research project that could change the world, and I would be responsible for its result. Like you, I look forward to it!”“Oh, yeah?” Letting out a laugh, he suddenly asked, “Then have you found that thing inside your pen holder?”Stunned, Rhea did not expect him to know about it as it was a personal matter. But after giving it some tho
"Really?" The man questioned with a half-smile. He did not know if he should believe her, but he did not want to persist.Instead, he walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside before calmly saying, "The bidding for the vaccine development project had long ended. Your father did not win the bid. Just like that, he let a big fish escape from his grasp.""What do you mean?" Rhea did not understand why he would suddenly bring this up."Cameron Rollins is your uncle, and your father is his brother-in-law. Still he didn’t secure the project for your father. Your uncle is incorruptible!" He sneered and shook his head."Cameron has always been like that," Rhea answered lightly. "My parents can't seem to wrap their minds around it.""Can you?" The man turned around and asked. "Your family is about to go bankrupt! Without this project, your father's company's capital chain will be cut off. Debt collectors will be knocking at your door. The bank and other companies will cut ties
She was not even sure how effective that thing was.It was a new product that she had just developed. She kept it like a treasure, firstly because it was her own hard work, and secondly because she was unsure about the stability and effectiveness of the product.Not only did the boss know about this product of hers, but he was also asking her to use it on Cameron. This made her feel a little uneasy."What's wrong? Are you getting softhearted?" The man laughed mockingly. "I've always thought you were ruthless. Are you telling me I was wrong?""I'm not softhearted. I'm just reluctant to finish up what I've just made," she replied."If you can make one vial, what's stopping you from making a second and a third? Once you have Cameron under your control and the vaccine development project under your belt, you’d have a large enough lab to use and almost limitless funds to squander. You won't care about this tiny bottle."After a pause, he was afraid that she wouldn't do it and continue
After a pause, Lily continued, "Someone is tapping my phone, but don't worry. I've changed to a new card and increased the cyber protection around my phone. I bought a new phone as well. Nothing will happen for now.“I know you're worried about our children and me, but you must know that not seeing you doesn’t make these dangers disappear, and it's not because of you that all this is happening. You have to let me see you!"Lily did not know if what she said had convinced Alexander or if he was too lazy to argue.After a pause, Alexander ultimately caved in. "Make sure you take precautions and bring some bodyguards with you. Immediately leave if you're in any danger. Don't try to put up a strong front.""I will," she replied. Then, worried she might disturb her husband, she quietly hung up without saying anything. Alexander forwarded his location to her shortly after.Sure enough, Lily pinpointed the location at a small village where she had traced his signal before. She could not
"Is your leg injured?" Only then did Mike notice Austin having a bandage on one of his legs with dried-up blood on it."It's all thanks to you guys!" Austin replied with a snort. He felt that this was all an act.However, Mike raised his eyebrows and denied it. "It wasn't me.""Aren't you all on the same side?" Austin gritted his teeth with hatred. Although this man was here to save him, he was still with Rhea and the others. Mike could not be any better than the rest of them.Hearing what Austin said, Mike retracted his outstretched hand and shot him a cold look. "If that's what you think, I'll leave then. You can continue staying here."Austin did not reply. His ego told him to stay silent and not give in, but his survival instinct kicked in when he saw that Mike was genuinely going to leave. "Wait a minute!"Mike stopped in his steps and turned to look at Austin nonchalantly."I'll go with you." Gritting his teeth, Austin forcefully stood up and limped behind Mike.Just as t
If Mike had known that this man would be so annoying, he would not have bothered bringing him out. However, Mike did not want to cause trouble.Austin finally kept quiet for a while, but he could not hold back his curiosity, especially as he watched Mike drive down the familiar yet unfamiliar streets. "Where are we going now? Are you taking me home? Do you know where I live or are we going to the police station? Why don't we stop by the police station first? Maybe I'd need a test…""Who said I'm saving you?" Mike's lips twitched as he glanced at Austin through the rearview mirror."If you're not trying to save me, where are you taking me?" Austin could not make sense of this. He wondered why Mike brought him out if he was not trying to save him.‘Is he going to kill me somewhere else?!’Austin suddenly became more vigilant when he thought of this possibility and stared at Mike with widened eyes. "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?"Mike smiled but said nothing as he c
