Zara looked at her and nodded.
She looked like she was in a terrible state. It was obvious that she had just cried and was drenched in the rain. There had to be a reasonable explanation.
Benedict hurried over. He was quite surprised. “Zara, are you in a relationship? When did you get a boyfriend? What does he do? Why haven’t I heard your parents mention him?”
Hailey smiled. “Dad, Zara is so beautiful and has a good figure. There must be many boys wooing her. Isn’t it normal to fall in love?”
She comforted Zara. “Did you meet a scumbag? Don’t be afraid. When your brother-in-law comes back, I’ll tell him to teach that bad guy a lesson!”
Zara thought to herself: ‘I’m afraid Jordan has already done that.’
She asked instead, “Where is Auntie?”
Benedict said, “Hailey’s mother went out with some friends. Ever since this woman became younger, she has been running around outside all day!”
Hailey said, “Dad, it’s rare for Mom to be so happy. Just let her go out and enjoy herself.”
Zara said, “Um, can I take a shower here?”
Hailey quickly agreed. “Oh yes, you should take a shower. After you’re done, you can wear my clothes and use my cosmetics. They’re all in my room. Use them as you please!”
Zara smiled. “Thank you, Hailey.”
Hailey smiled. “We’re family. There’s no need to be so formal.”
Zara had come here in the rain for the purpose of taking a shower here and borrowing Hailey’s dressing table. After showering, Zara went to Hailey’s dressing table and looked at the pile of lipsticks.
“MAC, L’Oréal, Estée Lauder, Helena, YSL…”
Hailey had too many lipsticks. Furthermore, they were of different styles and colors. A layman might not be able to tell the difference, but people who often wore lipstick could definitely tell at a glance.
Zara took a photo of each of them and sent them to Park Sang-cheol’s subordinate. She believed that it would take them at least three to five days to produce copies of all these lipsticks. Before that, she could relax a little.
But at 11 pm, Park Sang-cheol’s subordinate told Zara that all the lipstick copies were ready! Not only that, he arranged a time and place for her to collect them!
‘Oh my god, aren’t these people too amazing? They can copy so many branded lipsticks with poison in such a short time?’
Zara didn’t believe it. She secretly ran out at night and collected the lipsticks. After comparing them one by one, she realized that they were perfect replicas!
Zara also often used makeup. But even she couldn’t tell that the lipsticks were fake at all. She believed that Hailey would never be able to tell!
“I’m sorry, Jordan. I really don’t want you to die…”
Zara was already convinced that Jordan would die because of her!
…
Five days later, Jordan’s research team officially developed the first version of the Mirakuru serum for testing. After developing it, they needed to test it on human subjects.
The first person to receive this honor was the rich second-generation heir of Orlando, Darren.
…
Darren was pressed to the ground.
Meanwhile, Jordan sat on a chair and instructed his subordinates, “Inject the serum into his body.”
“No!” Darren shouted. “How dare you touch me! Do you know who my father is? If my father finds out, all of you will die! If you have the guts, let me call my father. I’ll ask him to kill you all!”
Jordan was speechless. Rich second-generation heirs in the country were all like that. If anything happened, they could only rely on their fathers.
“You’ve been missing for five days. If your father is so capable, why hasn’t he come to save you yet? To tell you the truth, your father has already been arrested for being a threat to national security. And it’s all thanks to you, his son!”
