Samantha and Xander shared another look, contemting if the man was telling the truth.
Before they would agree for any client to know about the factory and what goes on in there, they would run a background check on them. That was Julian’s job. He’d seen some interactions between Xavier and the couple, but it wasn’t something fruitful enough for him to hand over Anastasia to the couple after he’d helped her flee.
Just as he’d thought, the couple despised Xavier and it would be a bad idea if he entrusted Anastasia in their hands.
"Well then, this is one way of getting your revenge," said Samantha and the couple smiled like clowns.
Now, Anastasia wondered what Xavier had done to them.
"The one in the middle looks healthy too. She looks very much capable of bearing our child," another couple said, their eyes on Eve who was just as emotionless as Avery. But of course, not with a deadly re pointed at them.
"Well then, if that’s all, we may all proceed to the imntation chamber?" Xander gestured, leading them out.
Julian and Anastasia shared a quick look before she followed behind them.
When they arrived at the imntation chamber where the process of the IVF would be conducted, an armed man with a gun barged in there, catching them off guard.
He was huffing and puffing, trying to catch his breath for having ran so far to get there.
"What’s this nonsense? What are you doing here?" Samantha questioned, clearly exasperated by his actions.
"The henchmen at the front gate found a suspicious car a few meters away from the factory."
"A suspicious car?" Xander questioned and the henchman nodded in response, still trying to catch his breath.
The clients were now shaking in fear at the thought that someone had infiltrated the factory. They were extremely influential people who didn’t want their identity to be linked to something so dirty.
Samantha red at the henchman who had just reported to them. She wanted to reprimand him for giving them such a report when their clients were around.
"What’s that supposed to mean? Did someone infiltrate the factory?" The male client for Avery asked.
Even though Anastasia had only known him for half an hour, she already concluded he was a scaredy cat. His legs were already starting to shake like a jellyfish and it seemed it wouldn’t be long before he peed his pants. His wife rubbed him as if that was going to make him feel less ufortable.
"You don’t have to worry about anything, sir. We’ll quickly have a look at the matter ande back," Samantha responded, ready to leave with Xander but Anastasia stopped her.
"Samantha, I’m sorry but I think I feel dizzy all of a sudden," she said. Samantha narrowed her eyes at Anastasia, obviously not believing any of her excuses.
"What do you mean by you’re starting to feel dizzy? You were fine just a moment ago," she nearly snapped at her.
"For the past few days, I’ve not been feeling well." Anastasia was half telling the truth. She’d eagerly and anxiously been waiting for this day toe which had caused her loss of appetite because she had no idea how the day was going to be.
The loss of appetite had caused her to eat less, which in return made her feel weak and dizzy.
"I can vouch for her. Anastasia hasn’t been feeling well. This morning, she nearly fainted when we were by the pool," Eve interjected.
A faint smile crept on Anastasia’s lips at Eve’s words.
Early in the morning, she’d pretended to faint when Eve was around so that thetter could be her alibi. And just as she’d expected, Eve had her back.
She truly wanted Eve toe with her, but the woman seemed veryfortable with the arrangement before her.
Samantha red at Eve before her ferocious gazended on Anastasia.
"You can go to your room and rest for the time being while Xander and I take care of the matter outside. Once we return, I’ll send one of the henchmen toe get you. And don’t even think of getting any ideas," she warned, her tone casual, yet firm with an underlying meaning.
Anastasia nodded in response as she watched Samantha and Xander leave the room. Then she followed suit.
