Chapter 1149
[ 498 words ]
“Rumor has it that the med-research institute of Subterra Vanguard has the best researchers in the world.”
“That’s right.” Juniper Payne raised an eyebrow, not hesitating to agree. “They are the soldiers I’ve trained with everything I have. Compared to the scrap metal in Sanctum Holdings…”
Her tone shifted, and she let out a light laugh. “Forget it, there’s no comparison.”
“Since Sanctum Holdings and Subterra Vanguard are collaborating, how about lending me your people?” Corvus Thorne said.
“Lend?” Juniper sneered, a mocking smile on her lips. “My institute’s people aren’t objects you can just borrow.”
“Name your price,” Corvus said coldly, giving her a deep look.
“I’ll think about it.” Juniper’s gaze deepened. She raised an eyebrow. “I’ll give you an answer tonight.”
“Dr. Nocturne, I hope you can join Sanctum Holdings soon,” Corvus added. “I don’t have much time left.”
“If the money is right, anything is possible.” Juniper stood up and walked out without looking back.
Eclara City.
Juniper got back into her car, grabbed her phone, and dialed Luella Langley. “Pick some researchers from Subterra Vanguard who know medicine and have good combat skills, and send them to Sanctum Holdings.”
“Huh?” Luella was stunned for a few seconds. “Corvus agreed?”
“Yeah.” Juniper’s lips curled into a cold smile. “I just dug a hole, and he couldn’t wait to jump in.”
“A guy with that kind of brain wants to rule the world? What a joke!”
“Ahem.” Luella cleared her throat, muttering, “It’s not that Corvus is too stupid, it’s that you’re too smart, Juniper.”
Whenever she plotted, few could escape!
Like Corvus.
He actually let Juniper send people into Sanctum Holdings?
Luella was really looking forward to the day they fought, and the researchers suddenly turned on him…
Corvus would regret it to death!
“By the way, Juniper, did you see your mom?” Luella changed her tone, becoming gentler. “Is she doing okay?”
“She’s doing well.” At the mention of her mother, the coldness in Juniper’s eyes faded, replaced by a soft smile. “She’s even more beautiful than I imagined.”
“Looking at your face, I know she
must be gorgeous.” Luella was quite curious. “Juniper, you have a mom and your family is all
and ad
together. I’m really happy for you.”
“Yeah.” Sensing Luella’s subtle disappointment, Juniper parted her
lips and said softly, “When we get
out have them adopt you as
them out
their goddaughter. Then you’ll have a
mom, a dad, and siblings too.”
“Really?” Hearing this, Luella got excited, stuttering slightly. “I really want to be your sister.”
“I promise,” Juniper smiled slightly, her voice gentle. “I’ll definitely make sure you have parents to call your own.”
“Mhm.” A huge smile spread across Luella’s face.
Mom and dad…
That would be nice.
She’d have them too.
The call ended.
Miranda Zuniga’s call came in immediately.
“Juniper, Shanley, he…”
As soon as the call connected, Miranda’s excited voice rang out.
“What’s wrong with him?” Juniper’s fingers subconsciously tightened, her nerves
taut.
“He’s awake! Shanley is awake!”
Miranda swallowed hard, panting as she replied. “The doctor said his vital signs are stable, and his brattiis fine. He’s clamoring to see you
Juniper pressed her lips together, almost scared to death by Miranda.
She had thought…
Shanley was gone.
