Chapter 1261


    Frieda stood rooted to her spot as she looked at Jonathan and Lucian leave. She was stunned for a while before regaining her


    senses and hastening toward Aubree’s ward.


    She had to hear Aubree’s answer in person.


    Frieda was halted by Jonathan’s subordinate, who was stationed outside the ward’s entrance. “Ms. Queen, Mr. Queen forbade


    you froming close.”


    She red at him angrily. “Get lost! I’m just going in to say a few things. I''lle out the moment I’m done talking.”


    With that, she made to stride into the room.


    Jonathan''s subordinate was caught in a difficult position, standing before Frieda and blocking her way forward. Still, he didn’t


    dare toy a finger on her and could only watch as she pushed the door open and walked into the room.


    “Aubree!”


    Frieda impatiently wanted confirmation from Aubree right after she opened the door.


    The next second, she caught herself when she witnessed Aubree crying hysterically. Then, she quietly left the ward.


    There wasn’t any need for her to probe further, as Aubree’s demeanor cleared up her doubts.


    Lucian had indeed called off their engagement.


    Terror surged within Frieda as she realized that. She was scared out of her wits when she was reminded of all the things she had


    done alongside Aubree.


    Meanwhile, after Lucian left the hospital, he asked Jonathan to send him back to Farwell Group.


    Cayden knocked on Lucian’s door and entered the office upon thetter’s arrival.


    At that moment, Lucian was still giving off a gloomy aura.


    As a result, Cayden shuddered when he stepped into the room. “Mr. Farwell, the result of the investigation into the incident at the


    research institute is out.”


    Hearing that, Lucian looked at Cayden with a frown. “What''s the result?”


    “There’s nothing wrong with theponents, and the experiment was carried out by adhering to Ms. Jarvis’ usual work protocol.


    Logically, that gas shouldn’t have been produced,” Cayden replied politely.


    That meant someone had indeed tampered with the experiment.


    Lucian’s gaze darkened. He fell silent for a long while before suddenly getting up and exiting his office.


    Cayden hastily followed him. “Mr. Farwell, where are we going now?”


    Lucian uttered coldly, “Let’s check out the research institute.” | told Colby to find out all the medicines on theb table which were


    used that day. | wonder how his progress is.


    Cayden guessed Lucian might''ve found a lead, so he trailed behind thetter without saying a word.


    After reaching downstairs, Cayden drove them to the research institute.


    Coincidentally, Colby had juste out from the building.


    Colby panicked momentarily when he saw the pair get out of the vehicle. However, he swiftly recollected himself and approached


    them nonchntly. “Mr. Farwell.”


    Lucian nodded. “Did you find out all the medicines?”


    Aguilty look shed across Colby’s eyes. “I did, and | ced everything back on the table ordingly.”


    Lucian nced at him dubiously in response. “You ced everything back? Didn’t you mention it was dangerous?”


    Colby lowered his head to force himself to stay calm. “I already reminded the research facility''s personnel to avoid touching the


    medicines on thatb table, so there shouldn’t be an issue.”


    Lucian nodded. “Bring me there and show me the medicines.”


    Colby grunted in acknowledgment before turning around and leading the two into the research facility.


    Upon entering the building, they saw many researchers carrying out their duties.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    The researchers offered simple greetings to Lucian and the others, then immersed themselves in their experiments again.


    Colby led them to theb counter and stood to one side. “These are all the medicines.”


    The arrangement on theb table had been restored to its previous state, simr to the day when Roxanne did the experiment.


    However, Colby used a different medicine to substitute the one he added to the sk the other day.


    The two bottles had a slight difference in size. No one would notice that minor change in detail if that person weren’t a


    researcher who spent a long time inside theboratory.


    Even Roxanne and Jack wouldn’t notice he had switched the medicine as they were focused on carrying out the experiment that


    day.
