And those people–why were they after him? Was there some secret hidden within him that they wanted to uncover?

And what about the Nygards and Amelia–why were they of interest too?

If it were simply about the Nygards‘ power and wealth, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

Across all of Novaterra, there were plenty of families just as powerful, if not easier to target, than the Nygards.

So why choose them? And why Amelia? It clearly wasn’t just about influence or money.

Jeremy suspected that Amelia, like himself, carried something they were desperate to study and understand.

“You really know how to scheme, don’t you? You got that serum from me, and now Amelia has traced everything back to me!”

Wade’s voice was laced with fury as he shouted into the phone.

But the person on the other end didn’t sound the least bit worried. Instead, she soothed him with a lazy tone.

“What’s the big deal? She’s just a kid. Didn’t you say you wanted to capture her so you could threaten your nephew? Well, now’s your chance, isn’t it?

“I’ll make sure that brat learns her lesson. Once you get her, you can use her as a hostage. Isn’t that perfect?”

Regina was as smooth–tongued as ever. She was cunning, manipulative, and knew exactly how to sound pleasing.

Anyone listening might think she was truly looking out for Wade’s best interest.

“Heh, don’t take me for a fool,” Wade sneered, clearly seeing through her act. “You think I don’t know you’re using me?”

“Whether I’m using you or not, we both have the same goal, don’t we?”

This time, Regina dropped the pretense and spoke directly.

“Don’t forget. Both that brat and Jeremy have something they want.

“If we can take care of them together, it’ll be a major achievement. And that’ll mean even more benefits for you, won’t it?”

If they pulled this off. I’d get major credit in the organization. And if Jeremy fell, then everything belonging to the Currans would go straight to him.

I’m helping him, pushing him forward, and he had the nerve to snap at me?

Ungrateful fool.

“Watch what you say. Someone could be listening,” Wade warned sharply, his expression darkening the instant she mentioned that forbidden topic.

Everyone knew what was going on, but none dared to say it aloud.

It was taboo.

“What’s there to be afraid of? That man is so powerful, and he’s nice to me. Even if I mess up, he’d never blame me.”

As Regina spoke, her beautifully maintained eyes gleamed with obsession and adoration.

She had never looked at Raymond like that.

Although she showered Raymond with sweet words and gentle affection, deep down, she felt nothing.

Only that man could truly conquer her heart, make her worship him, and depend on him completely.

“I’ll let it go this time. But if you dare use me again, don’t expect me to show mercy.”

Wade couldn’t stand listening to that lovesick fool any longer. His tone was as cold as ice as he spat out those words, then hung up the call.

Her infatuation disgusted him. He doubted that man ever saw her as his only one anyway.

Most likely, she was just deluding herself.

Since Amelia and Gianna had returned to the Nygard Group, the company’s stock had begun to recover, and the profits of each project had risen sharply.

Those who could read the room or had been bribed by Gianna were quick to sing her praises, giving her all the credit.
