“Yelena! Did you leave? Where the hell did you go?”
Federick was worried sick.He didn’t realize that his words were strong.
“I’m just-“
“l only left you for a moment to have a dance with another person. And you left with somebody else instead of waiting for me?”
“It’s not…”
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his boiling anger.
“Tell me your location, now.I’ll go and get you.”
Yelena fumbled for an answer, only to make the sad discovery that she didn’t know the answer.
“What’s wrong? You’re quiet.”
Scanning her surroundings, Yelena felt that her hopes fade as she gave him an honest answer.
“I don’t know where I am.”
Federick could feel the rage clouding his mind for a second.
“What do you mean you don’t know where you are?”
“Well, yeah, I came here by car.I don’t know where I am, but it seems like I’m in the mountains.”
He sneered.
“You’ve got some guts, haven’t you? Only a girl like you would follow a stranger to a strange place.Be honest.You don’t even know the stranger’s name, do you?”
Yelena scratched her nose in embarrassment.
“I didn’t, but now I do.”
“Yelena!”
Federick growled.
“I’m listening!”
“How about this? Give me a moment.I’ll ask them where I am and get back to you,” she suggested timidly.
“Make it quick!”
Federick’s patience was bottoming out.
Yelena rushed down the stairs, but Slevin was nowhere to be found. thuy bao She only found a maid cleaning up the room.
Therefore, Yelena approached the maid and held her wrist before shooting a question at her.
“Pardon me, do you know where Slevin went?”
“I’m sorry.Mr.Damazio never tells us about his schedule.”
The woman answered with a sincere expression, and Yelena saw no point pushing her.
She looked around and exhaled.
What am I supposed todo? Once Yelena left the room to continue her search, the maid called Slevin.
“Mr.Damazio, I did everything as you told me.I didn’t reveal the address when the lady asked.”
“Good job.I’m looking forward to seeing how she will find a way to get out of here.”
Elspeth’s study had reached a new phase.
Soon, the public learned that Azure Corporation invested in the research of new drugs, but not long after that, Alphascape Group also began the same research.
The competition between the two companies was getting more intense day by day and was coming to a head.
“Miss Elspeth, it seems like you made a wise choice on investing in the new drugs.”
Harper tossed the account book on the table before casting Elspeth a smile.
“Even though we’re in the early stage of research that makes no profit at all, we’ll triple our profits or more than that when it becomes a success.”
He made such an announcement, exuding his confidence.
Elspeth nodded but found no joy in his statement at all.
According to her knowledge, Alphascape Group had begun their research as well.
Besides, they were making good progress.
Something was troubling her.
How did they catch up with our progress in such a short time? Medication research isn’t an easy job.
Their progress should be lagging behind us, but they surpassed us instead.
Something’s fishy.
“Miss Elspeth, are you thinking about the Alphascape Group?”
Harper pointed out her concerns.
Elspeth massaged the bridge of her nose.
“You’re right.They began the research later than us by about a month, but already reached the same stage as us.”
“That’s unbelievable! Do you think they found the other experts?” She denied his guess with a stern look on her face.
“That’s impossible.I hired every expert in Damoria for the study during the preparation stage.”
“It’s ridiculous.Now, it sounds like the company is responsible for the pandemic,”
Harper joked with innocence, but his words made Elspeth see things in a new light.
Staring at the mug on the table, she got lost in her thoughts.
What if it’s alla scheme?
Before Elspeth had a chance to contemplate, she received an incoming call from the manufacturer side.
The current drug research had progressed to the critical stage of preliminary sample testing, where there was no room for any mistakes.
The consequences of any mistake would extend far beyond damaging their reputation.
“Miss Lynwood, I have some terrible news! We’ve got a big situation on our hands!”
The urgent voice on the other end conveyed the severity of the situation.
Elspeth’s long-standing unease, which had plagued her for some time, suddenly materialized into a stark reality.
With a nervous jolt, she swiftly rose from her seat and anxiously inquired, “What’s happened?”
“When I arrived at the manufacturer to inspect the goods today, the whole batch was completely ruined! I asked the manufacturer about it, but they were just as clueless.
They said everything was fine during the early morning check, and they can’t explain how it turned out like this.”
