Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1776

“I truly have no idea who you’re talking about.”

“…”

Shirley knew that Adam was doing this on purpose. She genuinely wanted to know how both o f her parents died back then, but she refused to

utter the two words “mom” and “dad”. Feeling displeased, she changed the topic.

“Adam, are you best friends with Jeremy and his wife? Why are you helping them so much? Not only have you been doing whatever it takes to develop the anti-toxoid test reagent for them, you’d even stayed by Ryan’s side as a spy.”

“Even if they’re not my friends, I would still save them because I’m a doctor.”

Adam answered, neither humble nor haughty, then questioned.

“Now, it’s my turn to ask you. How did you know Ryan? Why were you developing a poison to harm Jeremy? Lana got hold of this poison back then, so does it mean you know Lana too? However, Ryan was the one manipulating Lana and Yorick this

whole time. What on earth is the connection behind all of this?”

Adam’s questions came one after another, momentarily startling Shirley.

She had not expected Adam to make such connections between all these many details and come up with this conclusion from them.

However, she knew she absolutely could not tell him the truth behind it all.

She deliberately put up a calm smile, which still looked lively and charming if one were to look at her intact left face.

“Adam, don’t think that you’re so clever. I can’t say what’s the connection between them, but the reason I created the poison and sold it to Lana under your name was that she’d ordered this through certain channels. I’ve merely developed them accordingly.”

“ Is that so?” Adam clearly did not believe her. “ In that case, why did you go the extra mile in making Lana think that I was the one who developed the poison? If you hadn’t done that, why would she find me? She’d even said that as long as I worked for her, she’ll help me achieve my dream in the medical field.”

“That’s because I want to see a doctor’s downfall.” Shirley displayed a wicked smile. “Adam, I too had the chance to become a doctor. They were the ones who denied me this chance. They were the ones who gave up on me to fulfill your dreams!”
