sign it!"
The other party raised his eyebrow as though he had long predicted that | would say so. He put the vial back into
the box and slid it to one side.
A black-clad man in the corner cforward to take the box before walking out of the door.
"Looks like | have something fun to watch."
| soon saw the black-clad man holding the vial appearing in Theo's room.
He walked to the corner and moved with great skill. After drawing medicine out of the vial, he faced Theo to wait
for orders.
"Mrs. Grant, I'll count to three and the needle will go in. According to what I just said, they'll only inject one-third

My hands started shaking.
"This is such a dilemma." Ernest deliberately sounded hesitant while saying, "Sigh, the decision has to be made
eventually. Let's go."
He put away his sickening expression and put on a false gentlemanly appearance. He began counting down,
"Three... two..."
I looked at his mouth, my mind a complete blank.
"Wait!"
Bang!
Just as | opened my mouth to ask him to wait a little longer, the door was suddenly kicked open. | looked back
and saw Alex as well as a group of men behind him.
| was puzzled as to why this man would kick his own door down.
Sitting in front of me, Ernest got up. "Mr. Alex, you-"
Ernest was clearly shocked when he saw Alex. | had a feeling that something was not right.
"Are you curious as to how | found this place?"
Alex's tone had completely changed. What was more, something puzzledeven more because from what he
was saying, he did not seem to know about this laboratory. Was that to say that Ernest had kidnapped us here of
his own accord?
"Please understand that we're trying to help you, Mr. Hodds. If Wanda can't make up her mind, then you and Mr.
Simon's cooperation can't go on. The company will lose a lot of money if we keep wasting each other's time."
Ernest was a pretty slick talker.
Alex said with a sneer, "There's no need for that. | know how to handle my own affairs. Go back and tell Simon

Who was Simon Hodds?
His last nwas Hodds too. In that case, what was his relationship with Alex?
| saw Ernest tightly clenching his fists, but he was not bold enough to lose his temper.
"Why are you still standing here? Let him go!" Alex suddenly roared.
| was startled. None of the black-clad men around us dared to move. There were also subtle changes on each of
their faces.
They were still quite cocky earlier, but ever since Alex appeared, they stared blankly ahead in unison as though
they were evading Alex on purpose.
Ernest suddenly loosened his fists and chuckled. "It's rare for you to show up at our place, Mr. Hodds. Why are
you getting so mad? Why don't you cool off and I'll take you outside to have a look? Maybe you'll be interested in
my project when I'm done introducing the place to you."
In just a split second, Ernest put on the sickening smile on his face again.
