Chapter 278 She Intends to Steal Again

Roxanne looked surprised.

With this in mind, the possibility of Evan’s involvement was decreasing. Moreover, she was certain that her grandfather couldn’t possibly lie to her.

In other words, the Leightons really had the life-saving drug again.

For a brief instant, shock, excitement, joy, and confusion surged through her all at once.

Yet, she merely stared blankly ahead like she was in a daze.

It was what happened when emotions reached their limit. Whether the news was good or bad, once it became overwhelming, the mind shut down into silence.

As for the Leightons, they were extremely satisfied with Roxanne’s reaction.

Then, Thaddeus smiled and added, “And it’s not one, but two.”

“What?”

Roxanne was on the verge of losing her mind when she learned that there were two life-saving drugs. Her body even almost collapsed to the ground out of shock.

‘Two life-saving drugs? Do you know what that means?’ she exclaimed inwardly. ‘One alone is enough to elevate our family into the ranks of top medical authorities. But two… With two, we can break through every barrier and enter the highest tier.

‘No wonder Grandpa mentioned that it concerned the rise of our family on the phone. With two life-saving drugs, we’ll rise to prominence for sure. Even the major medical factions in Uppersea and Imperia would have to treat us with respect.’

Now, Roxanne could confirm that it couldn’t have been Evan who returned the life-saving drug.

Two life-saving drugs were beyond reason. It was the kind of thing that sounded like a myth.

Her mind spun, completely consumed by the magnitude of the news.

‘Hang on,’ she thought.

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and a flash of an idea struck hér.

‘Two life-saving drugs… So, that means there’s one extra.’

In her subconscious, Roxanne believed the Leightons only needed one life-saving drug.

Since there was no way they could fully develop the value of two life-saving drugs, she figured it would just be a waste if they left another one unused.

‘I can give it to Zeke,’ she thought. ‘It’s much more effective than the energy drug. Since the life-saving drug is far better than the energy drug in both quality and effect, not only will Zeke’s illness be cured, but his health will also be perfect.’

The moment that thought formed, a surge of excitement rushed through her. In the end, she would still be the one to save Zeke.

However, the next moment, Roxanne felt a chill run down her spine. It was as if someone was watching her from

behind.

She turned and saw her grandfather and Wendy.

They were all staring at her. Their expressions still carried faint smiles-but for some reason, those smiles made her uneasy.

Roxanne thought for a moment and figured it must be due to her guilty conscience.

After all, as the saying went, a guilty conscience made a person overly sensitive.

Hence, a person would become sensitive once they did something bad or had such a thought.

Feeling like countless eyes were watching her from behind, Roxanne could only smile awkwardly at them to cover up

her embarrassment.

But even though her change in expression was subtle-Thaddeus and the others saw everything.

Wendy even made eye contact with Thaddeus as if to say, “Grandpa, you were right! She really is up to no good!”

Meanwhile, Thaddeus couldn’t help but sneer. If anything, this only made him more satisfied with his earlier decision.

In his mind, he was glad that he had someone store the life-saving drug in the Blackcrest Bank beforehand. Otherwise, it could actually be stolen by Roxanne again.
