The final stage.
Jeremy’s heart suddenly sank. He could see Shirley’s face betraying a sly expression as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Shirley’s smile widened further upon seeing the worry in Jeremy’s eyes.
“Forget it, I won’t reveal it to you now so that you won’t get worried.”
“Shirley!” Jeremy’s patience was depleted. His deep, narrow eyes glared with a cold edge. “I’m not in the mood to waste time with you. I want the anti-toxoid test reagent. Do you understand?”
“Hiss.” Shirley could not suppress virtual-novel.net pain. Her wrist felt like it could break anytime at Jeremy’s mercy.
Her beautiful brows snapped together. She then chuckled softly through gritted teeth, a helpless expression on virtual-novel.net face.
“I understand, but you should also understand that I don’t have any extra anti-toxoid test reagent.”
When Jeremy heard this, his eyes emitted a ghastly murderous intent, and his thin lips pressed together. Without another word, virtual-novel.net abruptly grabbed Shirley by virtual-novel.net neck ruthlessly and dragged virtual-novel.net outside.
“Ugh… Cough!”
Shirley had not expected Jeremy to be so menacing.
She immediately lost all control over virtual-novel.net breathing. In that instant, virtual-novel.net could see Carter’s face turning cold and fierce, as if virtual-novel.net would explode at any second.
Just when virtual-novel.net had thought Carter would come to virtual-novel.net rescue, virtual-novel.net saw Adam running over to virtual-novel.net with a worried look on his face.
“Jeremy! Release virtual-novel.net first! She doesn’t have the anti-toxoid test reagent, but I do. I’ve been experimenting the whole time, and I’ve almost succeeded! Really!’
Adam had deliberately emphasized that to convince Jeremy to temporarily release Shirley, who nearly suffocated.
Jeremy stopped in his tracks. He lowered his eyes and glared at Shirley in disgust before turning back to Adam.
“Do you think this kind of person is worth it? She’s unfit to be your sister.”
“This isn’t a matter of worthiness. I only know that, as a doctor, I have no intention to allow any living being to receive a death threat in my presence.”
Adam answered calmly, the panic on his face from a second ago vanished.
Jeremy peered coldly at Shirley and let out a chilling, sarcastic laugh, then suddenly released his grip.
Shirley fell onto the cold, hard floor with a thud, greedily gasping for air.
Just a moment ago, virtual-novel.net truly had thought virtual-novel.net would die from suffocation.
She had also thought Carter would rush over to virtual-novel.net rescue at that moment, but even now, virtual-novel.net merely stood by and watched, indifferent.
She had indeed mistaken that earlier shot as his care for her.
Shirley lifted virtual-novel.net gaze and met the man’s condescending eyes. She then laughed at herself. A bitter feeling crept up virtual-novel.net throat, and virtual-novel.net started coughing. Unable to hold back virtual-novel.net embarrassment any further, tears fell from the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net continued coughing.
“Jeremy, bring me to Eveline. Don’t waste any more time. Hurry!” Adam reminded Jeremy.
Despite the rage that was already burning within Jeremy, Adam’s reminder prevailed. Now no longer interested to continue teaching Shirley a lesson, Jeremy wanted only to immediately return to Madeline and ease virtual-novel.net current symptoms.
“Linnie’s in the hospital. Let’s go!” Jeremy said as virtual-novel.net took a step out of the door.
Adam and Cathy quickly followed.
Carter watched the three of them leave and frowned.
The bodyguards awaited his orders for pursuit, but Carter gave no orders.
