Colby was getting very nervous because Lucian still hadn’t replied to him yet.
Meanwhile, he kept telling himself the reason Lucian wasn’t speaking was that the latter hadn’t spotted anything fishy. As long as I didn’t mess up while doctoring the footage, Lucian’s biggest suspect will only be Jack!
When his train of thought ended there, he suddenly gained confidence, and he relaxed.
After an unknown amount of time passed, Lucian left his seat without any facial expression.
Promptly, Colby asked, “Where do you want to check next, Mr. Farwell?”
Lucian was still thinking about the footage he watched.
Hence, when he heard Colby’s question, he said, “We’ll take a look at the research facility.”
“All right!” Colby was relieved to hear that. Based on his expression, I’m pretty sure he didn’t notice anything. I’ve successfully fooled him with the footage. As for the research facility, I’ve already swapped out all the medicine on the research table. There’s no way I’ll be exposed!
As he thought about that, he cheerfully brought Lucian to the research facility.
On the way there, Lucian passed by many researchers. All of them were so taken aback by his imposing demeanor that they didn’t have the nerve to greet him.
Soon, the duo arrived at the research facility. Without Colby’s guide, Lucian strode straight toward the research table Roxanne used yesterday.
After sweeping his gaze across the table, he noticed all the medicine on the furniture was brand new.
Frigidly, he questioned, “Who changed them?”
Hearing that, Colby promptly explained, “Dr. Jarvis and Mr. Damaris almost finished using them yesterday. Additionally, we weren’t sure if the medicine contributed to Dr. Jarvis’ condition after what happened. Thus, we replaced all of them with new ones to prevent the same tragedy from occurring.”
