Chapter 265Adrian stared at the number on the note for a brief second before dialing it, his expression calm but his mind anything but. The phone rang once… twice… three times…No answer.He lowered the phone slightly, his gaze drifting for a moment before he spoke.“He’s not picking up.”Director Isabella Reyes frowned faintly from where she stood.“If he knows he’s not going to pick up, why would he leave his number?” she asked, her tone carrying both suspicion and irritation.Adrian leaned back slightly in his chair, still holding the phone.“Maybe he’s busy.”Isabella didn’t look convinced, but she nodded slightly anyway.“…Maybe.”A brief silence followed, the tension in the room settling into something quieter but more deliberate. Then Isabella seemed to remember something and straightened a little.“Chairman, before I forget—President Alistair Renford reached out earlier,” she said. “He mentioned that their progress is moving forward steadily and would like you to come oversee

Chapter 266Smith straightened slowly after a final glance at the headstone. For a brief moment, his expression wasn’t that of a detective chasing answers. It was just a younger brother who hadn’t been able to do enough.They stepped away from the grave together.A few paces out, Smith finally broke the silence.“…I owe you an apology,” he said, his voice calmer than before. “For how I approached you.”Adrian didn’t respond immediately. He simply watched him.Smith continued, exhaling lightly. “I know it wasn’t the right way. But I couldn’t just sit back and watch my brother die in vain.”there was no calculation in his words. NJust truth.“So please, Chairman Cole,” he added, turning to face him fully now. “Are you ready to talk to me about who you think might actually be involved in your accident?”Adrian held his gaze for a moment before answering.“I don’t make accusations lightly,” he said. “But I do have names.”Smith’s eyes sharpened instantly.“…Then give them to me.”Before A

Adrian stepped into the Medical City with his focus locked in, his senses sharpened as he tried to hold onto the faint trace of the scent. Director Isabella followed closely behind him, her heels clicking against the polished floor, her expression tense as she watched him.“We’re close,” she said under her breath.Adrian didn’t respond. His attention was fixed ahead. The scent was getting stronger. “Chairman Cole.” The voice cut through the moment.Adrian stopped and slowly, he turned.Dr. Virel was walking toward them from the opposite corridor, a polite smile on his face, though there was something about it that didn’t quite sit right.Adrian’s lips curved slightly, but there was no warmth in it..“…Dr. Virel.”“Chairman Adrian,” Virel continued, glancing between him and Isabella. “I think you’ve taken a wrong turn.

Chapter 268Dr. Alistair Renford was deeply focused on the work in front of him when Adrian and Director Isabella Reyes walked into the laboratory where the new medicine was being produced.The entire place was active with movement.Researchers moved between stations carrying reports and samples while machines operated continuously under bright white lights. Several transparent containers filled with processed medicine were lined carefully across secured tables.Dr. Virel noticed Adrian first. He immediately gave a respectful nod before returning his attention to the system he was monitoring.President Renford turned shortly after.“You’re welcome, Chairman Cole,” he greeted.“Thank you,” Adrian replied calmly. “Focus on your work. I’ll wait in your office. I don’t want to disrupt the process.”“Alright,” Renford said.As Adrian looked around the laboratory again, he noticed someone missing.Freya Ventress.Normally, she would have been somewhere in the middle of the operation, arguin
