The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1693

Flora remained highly skeptical. "Why not use animals? Don't all the labs back home use white mice?"

She had left Solenia in her teens, but she still knew how things worked there.

Claire offered a cool explanation. "Animals are fine for basic trials, but they can't verbalize their symptoms."

"And don't you agree that observing human tissue is far more accurate?"

Claire delivered the line so casually that Flora involuntarily rubbed her arms to dispel the goosebumps.

This girl sounded more heartless than she was.

Flora trafficked in illicit services, but this young woman possessed a cold, terrifying ruthlessness.

She casually talked about using humans for experiments. How exactly did you test a coagulant?

Obviously, by slicing someone open, applying the powder, and watching how fast the flesh knit back together!

And if she wasn't satisfied with the formula, she'd just slice them open again?

The thought of this girl carving a perfectly healthy person up twenty times sent a shiver down Flora's spine.

"My boys and girls are money-makers. I can't just hand them over for you to butcher."

"Letting you slice up a perfectly healthy person just for an experiment is simply..."

Was Flora actually showing a shred of humanity?

"Think about it practically. If you won't give me someone who turns a profit, what about someone who doesn't?"

"Surely not every single person on your payroll is a cash cow?"

That was a fair point!

While Flora did care somewhat for her workers, her love for money always won out.

She instinctively glanced toward the door. Barrett had already been hauled out into the hall.

He was all show and no go. If they wanted him...

Wait, no. He might be terrible in bed right now, but that was just because he hadn't been properly trained. He might even be a virgin, for all she knew.
