Chapter 1001
Later on, Adriana and Chad finally returned from the countryside.
Seeing that Neera was not at home, Adriana gave her a call. novelbin
Upon asking, she found out that another tricky situation had arisen there, which made her sigh involuntarily.“What's been going on lately? There's no peace at all. I planned to come back and rest, to enjoy some leisure time,but now it seems I'm even busier...”
Meanwhile, at Starlight Club,
Alvin and Harris sat face to face at the dinner table, sharing their evening meal.
Both of them had the same satisfied smiles on their faces as they cheerfully clinked their wine glasses together.
“Uncle Harris, it's a pleasure working with you.”
“Indeed.” With a sly grin, Harris said, “I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. We easily kicked that girl,Isabella, out of the hospital.”
Alvin raised an eyebrow. His mood was incredibly good, yet he didn't let his guard down. “Even though she waskicked out, it's only temporary. After all, she hasn't been completely expelled from Grace Hospital. Isabella stillhasn't come to her senses. Once she does, she definitely won't let it go. Her temperament is even tougher than aman's.”
Harris nodded. “You're right. Our current victory is only temporary. It seems we need to step up our efforts! Aslong as we can pin this crime on her, she can forget about ever setting foot in Grace Hospital again!” At thatpoint, he gave a sinister laugh. “Back then, Dad went against everyone's advice and insisted on giving her the
Grace Hospital. But things are different now. Without Dad's protection, it would be impossible for her to turnthings around!”
Alvin stared into Harris' eyes. Seeing the hint of gloom within, he flattered the latter in a calm and unhurriedmanner.
“Yes, you're right. Grandpa is now in your hands. No one else can help Isabella. Uncle Harris, you really haveforesight, knowing to start with the most important person—”
The two were in the midst of their conversation when suddenly, Harris' assistant rushed in. “This is bad. The oldman is missing!”
As soon as they heard that, the smiles on their faces vanished in an instant. Both stood up, their expressions filledwith shock and disbelief.
“How could he have disappeared? Wasn't someone guarding him? How did he vanish?”
The assistant braced himself and replied, “I'm not sure either. All I know is that everyone in the research centerhas fainted. The surveillance inside has also been destroyed, leaving no clues whatsoever...”
Alvin was startled to his core, losing all appetite for food. He hurriedly joined Harris, rushing toward the researchcenter.
As soon as they walked in, sure enough, they saw all the staff members scattered haphazardly on the ground, nota single one conscious.
Alvin quickly crouched down, pushed aside a person, and examined his condition. “They were knocked out cold.
Whoever took Grandpa away seems to have exceptional fighting skills!”
Harris never expected that to happen. He exclaimed in disbelief, “It must be that wretched girl, Isabella, who sentsomeone to take Dad away!”
“I don't think so.” Alvin, however, dismissed this idea. “How could she possibly have the means to send such aformidable person?”
“What do we do now? It doesn't matter who did it. Dad has been taken away, and we've lost our bargaining chip!”Harris was somewhat flustered.
In contrast, Alvin had already calmed down. Far from panicking, he even chuckled. “What's there to fear? Even ifthey get Grandpa, so what? Don't forget that we still have the antidote. They can't possibly wake Grandpa up! Aslong as he remains unconscious, he's still our bargaining chip!”
Yet, Harris remained uneasy. “But what if Isabella's friend, Nancy, manages to develop the antidote?”
“Is it that simple? We spent a fortune on this ancient prescription. No matter how capable that woman is, she's justa young doctor. How could she possibly know about these things?”
Hearing him say this, Harris finally breathed a sigh of relief. “You're right. As long as we keep the antidotehidden, there should be no issues...”
Eleven o'clock at night, at the research center, as promised, Jean came to pick her up.
As Neera got into the car, she felt the gloominess within the vehicle. She blinked her eyes and quickly started tosoothe him, “Don't be mad anymore. Haven't I already agreed to your terms and obediently followed them? I'm
coming home with you right now, and I promise I won't push myself this hard in the future, okay?”
Seeing that Jean remained indifferent, his face still stern, she had no choice but to appeal to his emotions. “I didn'tmean to work myself this hard. The main thing is, when I was abroad before, Bell helped me a lot! There weresome things that I couldn't have gotten through without her. Now that she's in such big trouble, how could I, herbest friend, just stand by and do nothing?”
Upon hearing her speak of the past, Jean found it quite easy to be soft-hearted toward her.
He looked over helplessly and sighed. “I know. That's why I've already sent someone to investigate her uncleHarris and Alvin. Tonight, my men will sneak into their residences to see if they can find the medicine youmentioned or an antidote. The triplets are also helping at home, assisting in taking down the other party's securitysystem.”
