Chapter 22
Instantly, everyone in the R&D department turned their eyes to Lucia.
Genevieve had never spoken to Lucia in such a harsh tone before, leaving Lucia more surprised than embarrassed. “Genevieve… what’s wrong?”
Genevieve didn’t respond and simply turned to walk back to her office.
As Lucia felt the curious gazes of her colleagues, her face turned red with embarrassment. When her eyes met Nyla’s, her anger flared even more. She was certain Nyla was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Suppressing her rage, she bit her lip and followed Genevieve into the office.
As soon as the door closed, Genevieve threw a document onto the desk in front of her. Take a look!”
Her tone was full of disappointment, and her gaze on Lucia was disapproving.
Confused, Lucia picked up the document and began to browse. Her face grew paler with each page, and her hands started to shake. How could this have happened?
Upon seeing Lucia’s guilty expression, Genevieve’s voice grew colder. “I used to think you were meticulous in your work. Do you even realize what you’ve done? Tampering with experimental data? Do you know how many lives are at stake if your drug goes to market?!”
“Genevieve… I know I was wrong. I just wanted to make our data look better…”
Genevieve let out a bitter laugh. “Are you sure you only wanted the data to look better? The first batch of lab mice showed various complications, yet you didn’t record any of it. You falsified the records, saying everything was normal. If your drug hit the market, it would be tantamount to murder!”
Lucla panicked under Genevieve’s icy stare. She had been so careful–how had she gotten caught?
Suddenly, she thought of Nyla. The details in the report matched the timeline since Nyla joined the company. It had to be herl
Nyla had been there only a week and had already noticed the falsified data.

When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
