Meanwhile, at the hospital, Serena had spent an hour searching through the different floors and even outside the building but never found the one she was searching for.

Her useless husband, Elijah Langston—how could he have left the hospital without anyone noticing?

One second he was right behind her and the next he wasn't.

As she stepped out of the elevator onto the ground floor, a soft voice came from the side, “Is that Serena?”

She turned toward the entrance and saw a middle-aged woman hurrying toward her, a smile on her face. “Serena, it's really you. How is your father now?”

Serena easily recognized her as someone from her mother's circle of friends and greeted her politely, “Emily, right?”

“Oh, Serena, it will hurt me if you forget my name. Don't you know I'm one of your mother's close friends? But yes—I'm Shayla. I heard that you are the South District CEO of the Medical Center, and that makes me happy. Once my little Gia finishes college, I am sure you'll help me get a good p

    Rosalie looked up slightly at the approaching Elijah but did not speak.The attendants however, immediately reacted with a cold snort from the side.Tedrick quickly came forward with a mocking smile, as this was his moment to appear upright before their beautiful director.“Hey, what do you know? You've barely been an apprentice for a few days. Don't embarrass yourself here. If Director Smith can't find anything, nobody can."What is this useless son-in-law trying to prove?Is he now thinking highly of himself because Ms. Smith defended him just now? Nonsense!They don't know, but he knows who he is.This surnamed Langston recently married into his DiLaurentis family, a poor, wretched thing, who found whom to live off since there's nothing was left of his forgotten family name.If the Old Master had not threatened to denounce anyone who revealed the identity of this fool to the public, he would have exposed his nonsense right here and now.When significant people speak, a supposed-to-

    The expression on Ms. Smith's face dropped in an instant as she asked keenly, "He's an apprentice, not a lab attendant yet."Tedrick raised his chin and said boldly, "Of course, he's not capable of running analyses like you, Ms. Smith. What I'm saying is that he'll agree to become our test subject."He rushed to Elijah's side quickly and said in a hushed tone, "You useless thing, hurry up and make yourself useful to Ms. Smith. If you drink those samples, I'll forget about your disrespect earlier."Elijah couldn't believe his ears and just shook his head."Weren't the samples brought for toxins testing? Why should I take them?""You!" His expression turned vicious. "Didn't you hear that the samples might have been mixed up? Hurry up and take them so we'll know which one is the real one."Hearing this, Elijah couldn't help but smile distantly and ask, "Uncle Ted, are you asking me to become your guinea pig?" This was absolutely funny to him."How dare you laugh? Do you think this is fu

    The attendants complied immediately, and she personally repeated the sequence of experiments, which included filtration, extraction, breakdown, and reagent introduction.The samples remained unchanged even after trying each of the vials."Something is wrong..." Rosalie let out a long sigh and repeated the process once again. In her years of experience, there had never been a reason for her to repeat experiments so many times.Still, the results were the same."Let's try the biochemical separation method. This method will surely give us results." This method was only for the most stubborn substances.The attendants got to work with her once again, but after several minutes of trying and repeating, nothing changed.The vial stayed crystal clear before their eyes.At that moment, she couldn't hold it any longer and turned to ask the field officials. "Are you sure these are the correct samples containing toxins? This water is as clear and pure as the sky."The other took the chance to s

    Inside the toxicology laboratory in the East District Medical Center, the air smelled faintly of disinfectant and cold metal. Rows of instruments hummed quietly.Elijah Langston stood off to the side, hands clasped behind his back, watching Director Rosalie Smith discuss matters with the lab attendants and Tedrick DiLaurentis.Just then, the laboratory doors slid open with a hiss, and two field officers from the district health bureau hurried in, each carrying sealed containers of water samples. Their expressions were tense.One of them bowed slightly and spoke. “Director Smith, we heard you had arrived, so we hurried here. These are the latest samples from our East River District’s water line. The situation outside is worsening. More than thirty residents have shown symptoms of acute poisoning since dawn.”Ms. Smith accepted the insulated case, and her calm eyes scanned the labels. “All from the same supply route?”“Yes, Director,” the other officer replied. “The entire district is

    The two prizefighters stared at each other before letting down the old man to face the approaching Grace."Get out, now!" she shouted.Both had expressions of surprise, but they bowed respectfully and stepped out of the room.Grace Ainsworth's body was now shaking with sincere rage as she was face-to-face with Master Darryl again."Who the hell are you? Did you retire from the border military?"She had already investigated the man's background, but there was nothing significant about him."I'm really a nobody, Ms. Ainsworth.""Spare me that nonsense! Why would high-ranking Sorevia Military officials invest in your business?" Grace demanded, her voice rising.Master Darryl simply smiled. "It's not my business, Ms. Ainsworth. That's what I have called you here to explain. I'm only the face of the Elorix Hotel enterprise; my boss is associated with the border military. Now that these military personnel are investing in this business, don't you think they would investigate if anything wer

    Meanwhile, at the Elorix Hotel, Grace Ainsworth stepped out of an elevator on the top floor, the two prizefighters following closely behind and her special assistant, Andrew, at her side."So, the Shadowless Ghost Duo are really dead and Julian Wexler is crippled for life?" Grace spoke with elegance as they moved down the hallway together.The Ainsworth Communication Corporation had a wide network that covered virtually all of Brooklyn Heights' private and public industries.They would always be the first to hear whispers from assigned sources and whistleblowers who sold information for cash.This way, the Ainsworth were always on top of every piece of information traveling through the city."Yes, madam," Andrew bowed respectfully. "From what I hear, the Blackwoods haven't spoken on what their reaction would be."She scoffed and turned her face to the side. "What else can they do? Black Ghost and White Ghost were the ace cards of the Blackwoods. If they're dead, they'll just have to l
