"Dashiell Stone!" Edmund stopped and turned to face him solemnly. "You made a mistake in the data last time. I hope you won't repeat it!"A trace of impatience immediately flashed across Dashiell's face when Edmund mentioned the mistake. Dashiell sighed and put his arm around Edmund's shoulder. "I know, I know! It's just a tiny mistake! You can tell at a glance that I didn't do it on purpose!“Dr. Morris, you're the best. What about a drink as a toast to how good you've been to all of us?""No drinking during working hours!" Edmund frowned. "Where do you even get the alcohol?"The department prepared every meal here, and they could not go home to drink at will. Where were they going to have a toast?Dashiell burst out laughing when he saw the look on Edmund's face. "I'm just kidding! Of course, I don't have any alcohol on me. It's a joke! I mean, in the future, once this is all over. We must go out to drink as a celebration. It's my way of thanking you!""It's part of my duty." E
After returning to his senses, Edmund seemed to have relaxed a little. However, he persisted. "Dr. Stone. Those who come here are not ordinary people. You aren't a nobody either. Dr. Blanc mentioned before that we should focus on beating the virus rather than other people's affairs. What we should do now is focus on doing our tasks well."After a pause, he continued, "We corrected the mistake you previously made in the nick of time, so there were no irreparable consequences. It wasn't reported to the higher-ups as well. However, if there happens to be another…""No, no. There won't be a next time!" Dashiell interjected and said smilingly, "I promise I won't make such a rookie mistake again! You're right, Dr. Morris. I shouldn't ask so many questions. All right, time's almost up. I should get back to work!"After he finished speaking, he retracted his arm and left.Edmund looked at Dashiell walking away and shook his head helplessly before continuing along his path.…"How’s every
"You mean those groups of losers?!" The man laughed sarcastically, not taking what Mike said seriously.Mike shook his head. "No. I heard that a group of professionals has gathered to study this virus. I'm afraid that…""Enough of being scared! There's a saying that you Hyderlanders like to say; you can't get out of the house if you live in fear!" With a cold snort, the man continued indifferently, "The whole world had been studying it for two to three months, yet, what's the result? How smart do you think Hyderlanders are? You guys are nothing!""With that said," Mike paused. "Don't forget that Lily and Rhea are from Hyderland. We Hyderlanders aren't as dimwitted as you think. You still need our help at the end of the day."What Mike said immediately reminded the man of something as he squinted his eyes. "Forget Rhea. Didn't I ask you to get Lily for me? What have you been doing? If she isn't working for me, there’s no use for her to live any longer!""As I said, she's not as sof
In the face of his interrogation, Rhea did not falter. Instead, she smiled and said, "Oh? Are you trying to draw attention to me? Mike, remember that we have different responsibilities. I am in charge of research and development, while you're in charge of logistics.“What's more, isn't Lily an old friend of yours? Don't you know her son quite well? Don't you think you’ll be the best person to kidnap her son?""It's because I know her very well that it's easier for me to scare the snake if I come forward." Mike squinted at her as he studied the attractive face in front of him. However, the twinkle in her eyes couldn't hide the conniving person she was."Rhea, you said you're in research and development, but what have you developed? You've been using products we’ve developed through previous research. You know what the boss wants the most, yet it seems you're not succeeding. You're starting to make me doubt your ability.""You…" Rhea's expression changed after being called out.Howe
"Okay!" Rhea agreed without batting an eye.The man was delighted. With a slight nod, his gaze softened a lot. "Rhea, do you know what I like most about you?""I wouldn't dare to assume," she replied lightly."I like how heartless and ruthless you are, unlike Mike Corden! People who are destined for great things shouldn't be so weak. I chose you among many outstanding graduates for how cold-hearted you are."Rhea's face remained unmoved. "You're right, Boss.""How is R7 doing?" He suddenly asked, changing the subject."The first trial of R7 is obedient and easy. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to transfer to the new base so quickly. Boss, rest assured that I have everything under control," she said confidently.Taking a deep look at her, the man lightly tapped the back of his hand with his fingers. "I remember you mentioning that the effect on R7 was unpredictable. How did you manage to get it under control?""It's not out of control. I'm just unsure of the full extent of the ef
"Grandpa, tea time." The small voice sounded tender and polite. Dominic turned around and saw Galen holding a big tray while a servant stood carefully behind him to ensure he didn't drop it. The little guy was too stubborn and insisted on holding the tray himself. The servant had no choice but to help him from behind."It's okay. Go ahead and eat," Dominic replied gently with a smile."Grandpa, eat!" Galen stood on his tiptoes, trying to lift the tray. However, he couldn't put it on the table due to his limited stature.The child wobbled and was about to fall when Dominic hurriedly supported the tray with one hand and caught him with the other. "Oh, my little treasure!"The servant on the side also hurried over to help with the tray. Then Dominic carried the child into his arms. "You can't let me relax?""Eat!" Galen sat in Dominic's arms and continued to reach out for the tray.In the end, Dominic had no choice but to beckon the servant to put the tray down. Then he took a s
Daniel had not set foot in Dominic’s vast house for years. Now trembling on his crutches, Daniel slowly walked in with the support of his son and daughter-in-law. He did not sit down. Instead, he slowly looked around until he heard footsteps and saw Dominic walking out.Daniel immediately felt his eyes burning as he hurried forward to meet Dominic, wanting to hold his hand. "Dom!"However, Daniel could not stand on his own and almost fell before taking more than two steps forward. Fortunately, someone managed to catch him.Elijah hurriedly over to steady him. "Dad, slow down.""Why are you still so easily excitable at this age?" Dominic grumbled with a frown, casting Daniel a sideways glance. Then he took Galen's hand and sat down unhurriedly with a frown still on his face.Everyone was surprised to see the child, especially Daniel. He could not help but fix his gaze on Galen. "Dom, this is…""This is none of your business!" Dominic snapped. "You're already so old. Why don't you
"How can you say that, Uncle Dom?!" Elijah could not stand and watch any longer. "You're an elder. Austin even calls you his granduncle. We've never once disrupted your peace because we know you dislike us.“We've never taken any credit for your doings because we know you don't see us as your family, but what did Austin do?"Dominic glanced at Elijah and sneered before coldly answering, "How should I say it? Okay, what about this? Your father said the same thing to me. I'm just repeating after him. What's wrong with that?"Elijah did not understand what Dominic meant. When Elijah turned to look at his father, Daniel lowered his gaze.After a deep sigh, he slowly raised his head again. "Dom, you don't plan on forgiving me, do you?""Since we've cut ties, we should keep our distance. There's no point in forgiving!" Looking at Galen's cute and innocent face, Dominic smiled, but the smile never reached his eyes.Galen looked up at him, and although he could not understand what the ad
