She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment novel Chapter 456

Nora could hear the resignation in his voice, but joining a team, though? First, she would have to see whether the team was good enough or not.

Otherwise, they could forget about wasting any of her sleeping time.

She leaned against the headboard with her legs folded and said, “Speak.”

Morris slowly said, “I have almost found out why your mother fled back then.”

His one-liner made Nora focus at once. “Why?”

Morris said coldly, “The organization was conducting human trials back then. We still don’t know what exactly they were researching, but after the boxing champion Abigail’s incident, we heavily suspect it to be a drug that can enhance the human body’s agility and physical strength!”

To be honest, Nora had suspected as much for a long while now. After all, she had heard from Quentin that Victor was just a nobody gangster two years ago. How could he possibly become a peerless martial arts master in just two years’ time?

He must have taken some kind of drug that could enhance his physique.

However, once produced, such drugs would surely be mass-manufactured, right? It wasn’t like it was poison, so why were they being so mysterious about it?

Perhaps because he could hear the doubt in her voice, Morris gave her the answer. “Victor suddenly went crazy in the cell.”

Surprised, Nora asked, “You mean…”

“That’s right.” Morris nodded. “The drug has huge side effects that affect a person’s nervous system. That’s why the drug has been a prohibited substance all this time.”

Nora cast her eyes down and asked, “So, what does this have to do with my mother?”

Morris took a deep breath. “Do you know how we found out about the drug research organization’s existence?”

He wasn’t really counting on Nora to answer, so he went on and said, “We encountered a similar case many years ago. Some people took drugs that can strengthen their bodies, and then… they suddenly died. We extracted the chemical components in their blood at that time. Together with the chemical components in Victor’s body this time, we can conclude that they have indeed been researching the same drug all this time, but have never succeeded. Don’t you find it strange, though? They have been studying the drug for more than twenty years, yet the chemical composition hasn’t changed much. It was just a matter of how much of each chemical they used in the formula. Are they really so certain that the formula is correct?”

Nora shook her head. “No, they won’t do that.”

She also made medicines herself, so she understood the underlying issues very well.

If one had theories about a drug, they would definitely test it out and adjust its content. However, if they didn’t succeed even after many attempts, they would give up.

But why were they being so persistent?

Unless…

Nora clenched her fists and slowly said, “Someone has succeeded with that formula before.”

Morris was glad to see how keen Nora’s senses were. He nodded and said, “That’s right, someone has successfully used that formula before. That’s why they kept trying and persevered with the formula! As far as I know, the success of that formula is related to your mother!”

Nora slowly sat upright. “You mean…”

Morris’ calm and steady voice traveled over the phone again. “I’ve looked into your mother’s life history. When she was a teenager, she went to Switzerland for pharmaceutical studies. I suspect that she had joined the organization at that time!”

Nora was stunned.

To be honest, even as of now, she held disgust for the organization. Human experiments had simply crossed moral boundaries.

She had guessed before that perhaps the organization was looking for something in her mother’s possession, causing her to flee from their murderous pursuit. The organization must think that the object they were after was now in her possession. That was why they were pursuing her so relentlessly.

However, never would she have ever expected her mother to be part of the organization.

She said a little coldly, “Are these your conjectures, or do you have evidence?”
