Chapter 240 Reason
Sherry looked up blankly at the man hugging her, her eyes full of confusion.
“Miss. Sherry, I’ve helped you three times.”
A light smile spread across his lips as he closed the door before putting her down, “After drawing so much blood, you need to rest.”
“Why are you here?”
Sherry frowned at every nuance of his expression.
“The Zillions Group can only make money if the project is successful, and we’re all on the same page, so my presence here is just to make sure you stick around until the end of the project.”
He took off his goggles, and those eyes were deep and drenched in light.
For a moment, Sherry was a little taken back.
“Get some rest.”
He said so, and put a cell phone on the desktop.
Then, he closed the door and left.
What Sherry did not know was that Aaron did not leave, and seeing Edward go out, he immediately went up to him, “How long have you been together …”
“Mr. Aaron, she no longer has any relationship with you, no, it’s that you didn’t have any relationship before either.” Edward’s eyes cold, a few steps around, and raise the long way.
Aaron stood in place, his fingers tightened into fists.
This man knew everything about his and Sherry’s past.
They were not really sure about the relationship, Sherry did not resist Edward’s approach, Aaron never felt so confused, he went back to his room and did not sleep all night.
And soon after Edward left, the phone rang.
Sherry looked at the number and felt something familiar.
She thought about what Edward had just said, and it did make sense. Zillions Group had invested so much money, and once the KDL project was called off, even if their company was able to recover the money in time, the loss would be around 50%.
So helping her was a win-win for both sides.
With that in mind, Sherry pressed the answer button.
She did not wait to ask, Ryan’s voice came over there, “Okay, it’s connected, she’s fine.”
There was silence for a while.
Ryan coughed lightly and brought the phone to his ear, “Sherry, listen carefully, cooperate with Lorali and carry out the project trial, don’t listen to anything anyone says to you, it’s only two weeks, it’ll be over soon.”
He seemed to be calming her down.
Sherry hadn’t reacted yet, but just naturally responded, “Okay, I remember Mr. Ryan.”
As if there were other people next to Ryan, he said a few more words about something and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Sherry put the phone down and a message came in.
“Think about why the Garcia family is protecting you and what they’re doing, and potentially ruining you.”
No need to ask, the odds are that it was from Edward.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
But this word, what does it mean?
Sherry looked at her phone for a long time, so long that her neck was a little sore.
As the sun set outside the window, her mind suddenly flashed back to the way Jair and Miller looked at her, the clever timing of her transfer to Garcia Group headquarters, and why Miller had repeatedly refused to let her participate in clinical trials.
They …
Sherry clasped her fingers into her palm and murmured, “They know.”
Knew about her birth.
Knew Nola wasn’t Beinean’s real daughter, so everything they did was to prevent her from being harmed.
Miller was cautious and Jair was deep. They didn’t expose Nola or push her away, so they probably had other plans.
Could it have something to do with the Beinean surgery?
Sherry collapsed on the bed and took a deep breath.
Then she heard a knock on the door.
She frowned and got up. If it was Aaron, she would consider asking Lorali for a different room.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, Edward asked me to deliver something to you.” Nola’s condescending voice came through.
Sherry smoothly yanked over the small fruit knife sitting behind the door and hid it up her sleeve before pulling it open a crack, her eyes alert as she stared at Nola.
“I wouldn’t bother with you if he hadn’t asked me to.”
With those words, she shoved a small box into Sherry’s hand.
“Since Aaron has already turned back for you, you still don’t …”
Sherry slammed the door directly.
She didn’t have the mood or the time to listen to Nola’s nonsense.
At the door, Nola gritted her teeth fiercely, forget it, she wouldn’t live long anyway.
Nola left early, so she didn’t know about Edward’s visit. Sherry sat down, looked at the small box, and her eyes were cold.
If it wasn’t for Edward’s message, she would have just stabbed it out.
Nola could not get any closer to Beinean.
But now, she has changed her mind.
“Nola, the story of the mantis stalking the cicada, ever heard of it?”
If the Garcia family didn’t do anything to get rid of Nola, there must be a reason for them to do so.
Sherry tossed the little box into a drawer and turned to bed.
In the following days, Nola kept taking leave, always saying she was not feeling well. Lorali took notes on each of them and then brought the doctor to examine her.
“Miss. Nola’s body is fine, maybe it’s the mental stress, she needs to rest.”
“Then let me go home, or, let me go see my mom, I’m too worried about her.” Nola’s eyes were red and she spoke with resignation.
Lorali instantly refused.
“This is the experimental stage, there are still ten days before you can leave.”
“You people, can’t you hear what the doctor said? I …”
Lorali voice cold down, “Miss. Nola, I reiterate, your physical condition, will directly affect whether the project can continue, I hope you can seriously cooperate!”
“I’m not cooperative enough?”
Nola pulled up her arm, “Look how much blood I’ve had drawn in the past few days! Do you know that I am the daughter of the Garcia family, and if anything happens to me in this experiment, can you take the responsibility?”
Lorali was silent.
There was no reaction from the next few people.
Sherry glanced at the camera in the corner, if Nola knew that every word she said now would be clearly recorded, she would not go crazy on the spot.
And on the other side of the camera.
Miller waved his hand, gesturing to his assistant to wait and see what happens first.
“Professor Miller, we found out that at the time of Beinean’s surgery, the KDL mainframe system was hacked, causing the data to change, and the other party was skilled enough to evade our previous checks.”
“Can you determine his location?”
“Yes, this is his full information, and there is a large amount of money transferred to his account recently, and the person who transferred the money is David .”
Miller’s face sank.
He should have thought of it.
“Take this message and tell Mr. Jair,” Miller stared straight at the screen for a while, then got up and went straight to the Zillions Group.
This was the first time he had stepped out of the institute since the experiment began.
In order to ensure Sherry’s safety, he kept an eye on the screen at all times.
Edward had just finished the meeting when he saw Miller waiting in his office.
“Professor Miller, what can I do for you?”
“I asked you to take care of Sherry before, and now I’m having some problems, if you can, can you, join this experiment with her.”
