Chapter 542: Finally Won the Strawberry Cake
Ethan Ward paused and said, "It was about half a month before the boss committed suicide. She sent it to me over the LAN, meant to be read and then auto-deleted, only leaving this file for me to keep safe, saying it would be useful later. After that, she disappeared without a trace."
"I was told the same, the boss made it very clear not to bring these things out," Janson added.
Tina's brows were tightly furrowed, it would be useful later.
Useful for what?
She's dead, what use could it possibly have now?
"Master, is this, perhaps, about bionic biotechnology?" Ethan Ward asked.
Tina nodded, "Yes, what I am handing over to you is this. I have already merged all the resources of the Hancock family with the Lyon family, and the laboratories are all set up. I just don't have the time to manage them. I wonder if it's convenient for you to take over."
"Convenient, of course, we've been waiting for the day to bring these things back into the light," Ethan Ward said excitedly, "Master, aside from traditional medicine, I have been relying on this file from the boss to research the direction of bionic biology. I always felt something was missing, but today, with what you brought, I understand now."
Janson nodded, "Yes, I've always wondered what the boss meant by it being useful later. It turns out she was waiting for you to come to us."
Tina's lips curved slightly.
Waiting for her to find them? Did her mother also have the same abilities as her master, even knowing the future?
How could her mother be so sure she would come looking?
Many questions flashed through Tina's mind, and an idea slowly took shape.
"You handle the matters with Ensford and Ashbury yourselves. Max has not been inactive these years; he has managed the bionic biotechnology well but never quite grasped it. Continue his direction of research, and you will soon see results." After giving her instructions, Tina stood up, "If there's anything unclear, ask me anytime."
With that, Tina left without looking back.
Handing over the bionic biotechnology to the two families, Tina felt reassured.
After arranging this matter, Tina went to the underground prison where Max was held.
After a stint with the Narcotics Control Bureau, Max had been secretly transferred here by Jared.
Max, soaked in a water cell, was tortured beyond recognition.
Tina sat opposite him, looking at his pale, swollen face, unable to muster any sympathy.
He betrayed her mother, manufactured and trafficked drugs, stole her mother's research for profit, and colluded with GTO...NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Each act was a transgression against Tina's deepest grievances.
Hearing the noise, Max struggled weakly and said, "Miss, I know I was wrong, please let me go."
Tina narrowed her eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Five Poisons?"
Max swallowed, the chains binding him clinking, "I don't know, I've never seen him, we've always communicated online."
"You've never seen Five Poisons, yet you chose to betray my mother?"
Hearing Tina's icy tone, Max shrank back, "Initially, GTO approached me, promising a lot of money if I followed them. I was really in need of money, I-"
Before Max could finish, Tina's hand, unable to control herself, tightly clenched his throat.
Max could clearly feel Tina's rage as he struggled desperately, splashing water around.
"I was wrong... Miss... I was wrong, please let me go, I know I was wrong."
Tina's grip tightened around Max's neck, almost wishing she could twist it off.
She only released her hold when she saw his eyes bloodshot.

Max gasped for air, at one point thinking he was truly about to die.
"Cough, Miss, I swear, it's all true, I really haven't met the Five Poisons, but I did see one of their girls, the only person I've ever met from GTO," Max quickly pledged his loyalty. Though his loyalty was hardly of any value now.
Tina narrowed her eyes, "Did the Five Poisons ever ask you for the biomimetic technology?"
Max choked, hardly daring to meet Tina's gaze, and muttered, "Yes... they did."
"But the technology is far from mature, it only works for ten seconds in front of people before it fails, it's useless, Miss, that doesn't affect anything, right?" Max's deepest ties were actually with Old Kris.
After all, such pure drugs were extremely profitable, sustaining GTO's finances over the years.
Tina knocked Max out with a chop of her hand; his head dipped, bubbles gurgling out in the water.
She emerged from the water cell and sat in the car, no wonder she had felt something was amiss.
When Abigail had escaped, even with the help of a projector, she couldn't have just vanished without a trace right under her and Jared's watch.
The person who had exploded into nothingness right before them wasn't a human at all, but a synthetic replica made using Max's biomimetic technology. Ten seconds was enough.
But everyone's attention had been on finding the bomb, not noticing anything odd about Abigail.
In retrospect, her every move had seemed logical, but her expressions were somewhat stiff, lacking the fear of someone facing death.
Tina hadn't expected a synthetic human could be made so realistically.

Using a projector to cover up the biomimetic technology, the Five Poisons were indeed clever.
Well, only a clever person could have battled with Natalie, Jared, and others for so many years. Knock, knock, knock.
Hearing someone tapping on the car window, Tina turned to see Jared standing in front of the car, holding a box of strawberry cake.
Tina got out of the car, not taking the strawberry cake, but instead buried her head in Jared's chest, hugging him tightly.
A flicker of surprise crossed Jared's eyes.
This was the first time Tina had resisted the temptation of strawberry cake!
Indeed, time was the best proof.
He had finally won over the strawberry cake!
Tina took a few deep breaths, reaching for the strawberry cake.
Jared held it up high.
Despite Tina's height of nearly 1. 7 meters, with Jared's height and his arms raised, she still couldn't reach her desired strawberry cake. "Uncle!" Tina complained, her voice whiny.
Jared pinned her against the car, still holding the strawberry cake out of reach, but lowered his head, staring into her bright eyes, "Kiss me." Tina, "?"
"Kiss me, and you get the strawberry cake," Jared hinted, pointing at his lips, his gaze meaningful.
