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
Elijah and Michelle immediately followed suit. Soon, the room echoed with the sounds of heads knocking on the ground. Galen blinked at the sight before him. Although curious, he saw Dominic's anger and pursed his lips in silence."Get up, all of you! Get up now!" Dominic roared. His voice was so loud that everyone froze and looked up at him."Daniel Fike! You're something else, aren’t you?!" As he began to pace back and forth, he continued, "Even at this age, you're still pulling this trick on me? Do you think I will agree with you this way?!""No. I'm genuinely begging you! I'm running out of options! We've checked everywhere, and there’s still no sign of him. It's been so many days, and you know how Austin is. He won't make us worry like this.“Something terrible must have happened! Also, that lab… That laboratory has been abandoned. I've had people investigate that place, but it was wiped clean. Not a single soul remains there. There's a basement in the building. Although the ro
"Then, he…" Michelle's face turned pale. Although she was relieved to hear her son might still be alive, her heart couldn't take Dominic's repeated mentions of a corpse."I've already sent someone to look for him. I'll inform you as soon as I hear back." Dominic sat down and took a sip of tea from his teacup. Then he paused and raised his head to see everyone staring at him. "What?! I already said I'll tell you if I hear-""Dom, thank you so much!" Daniel cried emotionally. "I knew it! I knew you wouldn't let him die!""Thank you, Uncle Dom!" Elijah also thanked Dominic gratefully.However, Dominic waved his hands around impatiently. "Enough! Stop with all this! Just don't show up at my door anymore! I can't see you crying and wailing like this. And you! What are you doing, walking around like this, at your age?! If something happens to you, whose fault will it be?!""I know my limits!" Daniel replied happily."You do, but I don't! The next time you show up, I won't let you in. H
Waking up from the nightmare, he opened his eyes and looked numbly at the ceiling. He was used to this. Day and night. It was the same thing over and over again. He could no longer tell whether he was asleep or awake. Maybe he was living his nightmare.After all, if he was asleep and knew that he was dreaming, he still had hopes of waking up. However, even when he opened his eyes, he was still stuck in an endless loop of torture.He still remembered what Mike had said. Mike's words replayed in his head repeatedly, but he still wasn't sure if he should believe Mike. After two days, there was no sign of her leaving. Was he getting played again?However, what good would that do for someone like Mike? Was it another cat-and-mouse game?Just as he was starting to get lost in his thoughts, there was the sound of the door opening. This time, unlike most others, it was accompanied by the sharp sound of high heels.Although his face was numb, he could still move his eyes. This woman's voic
