Chapter 1575
Anne scanned the surroundings, then said, "I'll tell you, but you can't tell anybody, especially my uncle."
Ashlynn's heart sank, then she prepared herself mentally. "...Go on.'
’A while ago, Ivan captured an infected person who had lost his mind. It seems like his mind is much clearer now after the doctor treated his body and did therapy with him. We should be able to find out who's playing tricks behind the scenes soon."
’You think the person is Corentin?"
’That's not it. It's just that I'm worried my uncle will be forced to reveal something again, so we can't tell him."
’I hate making guesses at every turn as well. I hope that the infected person can regain his consciousness sooner and tell us the truth."
Anne felt terrible seeing Ashlynn feeling uneasy.
Why must a pregnant woman endure such pressure? If Corentin truly was the person behind the scene, then he truly deserved to die!
However, she wanted to take Corentin's side as well.
Just like what Anthony asked her the night before, what was Corentin's motivation?
Right at that moment, all of Anne and Ashlynn's conversation was being monitored. The wiretap was hidden underneath the table, and the red light was flashing.
On the other end, Corentin, who was in his office, put down his phone and his expression did not look too good. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
As expected, the person who had been infected would bring trouble if he was not gotten rid of.
He could not use his subordinates, and Ivan was definitely keeping an eye on his associates from the past.
After all, once they have been targeted, they would not be able to shake him off so easily.
Corentin went downstairs in secret and arrived at the basement of his company. He then got into an ordinary and inconspicuous car, went through the parking lot, and left the building openly.
That was because nobody would expect Corentin to be in that ordinary car.
The car left the city and went further and further off in the direction of a remote area.
He drove for more than an hour before stopping at a chemical plant.
The place was surrounded by mountains, so it would not be easy to find this place even if one wanted to.
One would think this was an extremely ordinary chemical plant, but it is after entering the plant that one would notice a different story.
The interior looked more like a hospital, and every ward was packed with patients.
They all have one thing in common. Their faces and hands had ulcerations of varied extents, which were exactly the same as Lucia's.
Corentin entered while wearing a mask, and went around the place. He asked the experts about the situation there, and they informed him about the progress.
"At the bottom of it all, this bunch of people volunteered to be guinea pigs for money, but he went back on his word. What a trash," Corentin mocked.
'That's right. If nobody sacrificed, how can we improve?' someone next to him echoed.
Yes. Corentin found out about this kind of virus by accident when he sent some people to surround and attack the Tianya Group.
A wicked idea then emerged in him, and he took it for himself.
Because he did not get his hands on the cure, he could only gather the top experts to study and develop it.
Once he successfully developed the cure, he would let the virus spread in the market. When the time came, the stock value of his pharmaceutical company would skyrocket immediately.
Everybody's lives and future would be in his control.
All the money and power would belong to him alone.
That would be his contribution to the Lloyd family.
Corentin did not stay for long. He only ordered them not to let another person run away anymore.
He returned to his company using the same route, and nobody noticed any signs at all.
They thought Corentin had been working in his office the whole time!
After he came out of his office, he went into the elevator, went to the parking lot, got into his Bintley, and left. He returned to his mansion.
He deliberately stopped at a confectionery halfway home to buy Ashlynn her favorite sweets.
No matter how one looked at him, he looked just like a good husband and would be a good father in the future.
The car arrived at the mansion. When Corentin got out of the car, he seemed to have thought of something and gave Ivan a call. "How's the infected person doing? Can I see him?"
