Everett glanced up at her, his handsome face betraying few emotions.
After a pause, he spoke, “So you’re here to deliver the antidote?”
“Something like that.”
“Alright, just hand it over.” Everett said, reaching out to continue sorting through the papers on his desk.
Quincy frowned, seemingly puzzled by his calm demeanor.
This was not what she had expected.
“Anything else?”
Everett looked back at her when he noticed she hadn’t moved.
“I get the feeling, Mr. Lopez, that you’re not as desperate for Ms. Sanchez’s antidote as you used to be.” She said it with a smile too, trying to hide the panic inside.
At this point, Quincy naturally didn’t want to lay all her cards on the table, losing her negotiating edge.
“Had the antidote been due, wouldn’t you have contacted me?”
“…”
“Busy with work, can’t keep track of the dates, but you remember, that’s enough for me.” Everett’s gaze returned to the document in his hand, “Besides, you wouldn’t let her die.”
Quincy frowned, “And what if I forgot the date?”
“Isn’t this what you obsess over day and night?”
How could she forget?
Everett’s indifference and his routine demeanor towards Quincy were unsettling.
From his words, it was apparent he didn’t seem as concerned about Dorothy’s antidote as before! He even expected Quincy to keep track of the timeline.
“But what if I forget just once, and Ms. Sanchez’s life…”
“If she dies, you’ll be the murderer.”
Everett didn’t even bother to look up as he said this.
This calmness was the last thing Quincy wanted to see.

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
