Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1544

The Jellyfish Seal lay nearby, untouched, as she seemed uninterested in giving it more than a cursory glance.

The room fell into a hush, and Philip couldn't quite get a read on what was going through her head. He'd never been able to fully understand her.

The woman picked up the mug of tea from the table and took a sip, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips.

"What about that girl you mentioned before? You know, Cynthia's daughter?"

"She's still alive."

The woman raised an eyebrow. If Philip had taken action, that girl shouldn't be alive, she thought.

"It seems you gave her a chance to live."

"Just killing her would've been too boring."

He wanted to turn her into livestock for experimentation, like the subjects in the observation room.

His initial intention to bring Maja back to the BK was just that.

Let her taste the sweet life of being a leader, gain her trust, and then bring her to the research facility.

Then she'd be like a lab rat, completely at their mercy.

But he had been careless. To his surprise, when presented with the position of leader, Maja hadn't been tempted. Instead, she was fixated on how to stay side by side with Ian.

Ridiculous.

When he found out she was on Forbidden Island, he stopped holding back. But Dylan and Abner's support came too quickly, and with Quentin causing chaos, he failed to get his way and had to retreat, consequently blowing his cover.

The woman, still eyeing her mug, gestured dismissively, "I'm tired. You all can leave now."

Philip and Phil stood up and made their way to the door, but her voice stopped them.

"There's a recommendation coming up for a chair position. Philip, prepare some documentation. I'm considering putting you forward."

There were twenty chairs in the research facility, each responsible for liaising with the core internal members.

Philip had been at the facility for years and had access to the core members, but there was a strict nomination process that rarely allowed for advancement. Now, he finally had his chance.

Becoming a chair meant he could freely use the pills developed by the research facility, no longer restricted by the previous quotas.
