Chapter 257
Jeffrey looked at the smiling Cecilia and found her more frightening than the cold–faced Aiden.
Aiden had his principles in doing things, but Cecilia had no scruples.
He said with trembling lips, “I made a deal with Commander Shaw. I will tell him everything as long as he gives me the antidote.”
He implied that he did not believe in Cecilia but in Aiden.
Cecilia knew what Jeffrey was thinking, and she sneered at him.
“But now that the antidote is in my hands. Do you think Aiden will listen to you or me?”
Jeffrey knew the answer was undoubtedly the latter.
“What do you want to know?” he asked.
“Three years ago, my team was wiped out. What happened?”
She had been pursuing that matter for the past three years, but there had been no progress.
Even Charlie, the leader of Wolf Killer, did not know about it, so only the shareholders did.
Jeffrey was aware of that incident, he was not involved and did not know the specific details. He looked at Cecilia and asked, “Will you give me the antidote after I tell you everything?”
The antidote he had just taken was too little. He began to have stabbing pains in his heart and abdominal cramps again.
That feeling was worse than death. It was so painful that he did not want to experience it again.
Cecilia playfully tossed the glass bottle of antidote in her hand and said, “Go ahead. I’ll give you the antidote when I’m satisfied.”
Jeffrey cursed in his heart, ‘Liar!
She told me earlier that if I revealed how much poison I had developed for the organization, she would give me the antidote.
In the end, not only did she not give me the antidote, but she also asked me to test the poison on myself.
What a vicious woman!‘
No matter how much Jeffrey cursed, he did not dare to show it.
Just as he was about to speak, the door of the laboratory was pushed open, and Aiden walked in.
When he saw Aiden, he felt as if he had seen a savior.
“Commander Shaw, the antidote is ready. I’m willing to exchange it for the news.”
Jeffrey believed Aiden was a man of his word. As long as he had promised, he would definitely do it.
He was not like Cecilia who would go back on her word.
Aiden ignored Jeffrey. He looked at Cecilia and asked, “What were you talking about just now?”
She replied, “We talked about what happened three years ago, but Professor Farsons refused to say anything.”
“Forget the antidote if he doesn’t want to say it.”
Aiden then took the bottle of antidote from Cecilia’s hand and pretended to smash it.
