Chapter 216 Chapter 216 Helen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sure, I can get you a ride." "No, I can take a cab myself. I'd rather not make a big scene going to school." Helen didn't object. Instead, she said, "Then I'm coming with you for safety. We can't have a repeat of yesterday's incident. It's so dangerous." I didn't refuse. Another refusal might make her suspicious.
When we arrived at school, I immediately looked for Allen. The moment Allen saw me, he was surprised and then stretched out his arms for a hug. However, spotting Helen behind me, he shrugged and said, "What, brought your own surveillance today?" I cut him off, "She's here for my protection, don't start." "What danger could you possibly be in at school?" Allen covered his mouth as he spoke, "Well, considering the lab explosion, ccheck out our new lab. It's absolutely state-of-the-art. The Hilton Group really went all out, all world-class equipment." As Allen ledtowards the lab, he raised an eyebrow at Helen and said, "Lab rules, only staff allowed inside." Helen, ready to throw a punch, was stopped by me, "Cool it, Helen. It's all good inside. Max has replaced all the equipment; there shouldn't be any issues. I'll just have a quick word with the professor and be right out." Helen huffed, stood by the door with her arms crossed, and glared at Allen.
Once we were in the lab, Allen turned to me, "Alright, spill. What do you need?" I looked at Allen, my reliable lab partner, and said, "I need to see Richard." Allen touched my forehead. "Have you lost your mind? Richard is the guy who torched our lab and almost got you killed. And then he walks free because of sfancy lawyers swnovem from Crestview Metropo I patted his shoulder, "Allen, I've never seen you memorize anything that long. You really remember all that about someone you despise?" He scoffed, "Of course, he's my enemy. What do you want with him? Aren't you afraid he'll cafter you again?" I sighed deeply, "I might not get to see him, but you can. Can you ask him if he was the one who dug up the dirt from the orphanage?" "That's it?" Clearly, he was both bewildered and exasperated by my question.
Yeah, I couldn't even get near the place, but he got access right after getting out. This means he was close to Max, so if he and Max were that tight, could they have been putting on ssort of act? Because right after he got out, Richard knew about Max's identity but kept it hidden and even showed him respect.
