Chapter 98Chapter 98
Rickard knew she said that intentionally. Mrs. Wight helped him once and he had always remembered
that. Even if he didn’t care about Juniper’s life, he would still be concerned about Mrs. Wight.
“You’re… impossible.”
Juniper knew that her plan worked because he no longer ignored her plea. Her eyes were red when
she said, “Don’t blame me, I didn’t have a choice. Hesper was coming after me like a mad woman and
novelbinput me on the spot even during the interview.”
Rickard watched that interview, so he knew who was in the wrong and wouldn’t be tricked by her
words.
“I’ll figure something out for the antidote, but I can’t promise. anything.”
The man looked tired. When she saw that he was leaving, she tugged at his sleeve with a sad look.
Rickard frowned impatiently. “What?”
“I was so shaken by this and haven’t had any food all day. Could you stay and dine with me?”
“No.” Rickard immediately rejected her and didn’t give her a chance to delay him, then turned and left
with Benji.
When they got into the car, he asked, “Have you heard of a pill that could turn someone ugly?”

Rickard raised his brows. “Are you at the site? I’m coming over.”
After hanging up, he told the driver where to go.
Benji said in surprise, “But Mr. Duval, we have a meeting at 2pm. We won’t make it.”
Rickard frowned but quickly made a decision. “Get in touch with them and tell them that I have an
emergency, then reschedule it for another day.”
“But…”
“What do you mean ‘but’? Just do as I say!”
Benji was cut off and had to do as he was told, but he was
worried.
The director of Drogon Tech was a weird man and hated it when people weren’t punctual. It took them
a long time to get this. meeting, so if they rescheduled it, they would probably never get another
chance.
However, since Rickard already made his decision, there was no point saying more. He asked the
driver to start driving.“Let’s go to the branch office of Lane Holdings.”
The car soon parked in front of the building.
This was the central business district, and Lane Holdings’ building was a skyscraper. The towering
height was exactly the same as the main Lane Holdings building, and it wasn’t difficult to imagine the
storm it would bring when the company was officially established in Genecity.
“Mr. Duval.” Benji’s voice brought him back to reality. He looked down slightly and walked inside
