Chapter 575: Luna The Assistant Researcher

"However…" Gabi paused. She stared at Zaccaria's cunning smile. It looked like this man didn't need a lot of help. He was just another wolf in sheep's clothing. This was something that she knew in the past life. Isn't this the reason why the Sealey Family got rid of this man a few years after she divorced Harry? "You have to stay safe. I am sure that they would want you dead now that you want to challenge your father's authority."

"Is this you showing concern to me, Miss Sutton?"

Gabi smirked. "It would be a waste to see that angelic face of yours inside a coffin." This fox looked beautiful and harmless but she knew that the reason why he was still alive until now is that he was really capable. He was able to avoid all the assassination attempts.

"My… thank you for the compliment. But since Miss Sutton didn't want me to get hurt, I shall do my best to survive."

"Also… I will be doing something important in the next six months."

"I understand. I will use the next six months to strengthen myself." Zaccaria uttered. "Next time we see each other, I should have the power to challenge the whole Sealey Family."

"Too ambitious." She noted. But she quite liked it. Working with ambitious people is better than working with someone so passive.

Not long after, Zaccaria bid her goodbye. She knew that this man publicly showed his face in front of her because of the people following him. Now that he already achieved his goal, there is no need to stay in this place anymore. Moreover, Gabi already declined his proposal. He didn't want to make himself look like a joke by sticking to her side.

But who would have thought that Gabi would actually refuse a marriage with him? The smile on his face vanished the moment he got into the car. He held his chin and squinted. A woman really refused him? But why?

From his analysis, Gabi wasn't a woman who would believe in love. She was scheming and smart and she would probably think about benefits first before anything else. So… why?

He thought about her three reasons, none of which are really convincing. Clearly, she made it up on the spot.

A sharp sigh escaped his lips. He decided to stop thinking about it. There is no reason for him to mull over things that already happened. All he needed to do now is gather all the people that believed in him so he could claim what was his.

All this time the Sealey Family treated him as if he wasn't a family. It was his time to show them that he was capable to lead the family.

...

"I thought the treatment would start after the Gala?" This was Gabi's question when Cyrus told her that Aden wanted her to visit the jewelry shop.

"Well… Sir Aden said he needed to check your body in detail to see if it would really work."

She sighed. Was that man really capable of healing her? Since she talked to Aden about this deal, she started researching nanotechnology and medicine. However, she couldn't really find anything specific. It was said that the Shen Group is currently the biggest company that is researching nanotechnology. However, they haven't published any reports yet.

She read a few reports and research but none of them were that specific either. Because of this, she started doubting. While she had no problem dying, she didn't want to turn into a vegetable because of this treatment.

When Gabi arrived at the jewelry store, Cyrus led her to the basement where they could access another elevator. To her surprise, the elevator took a couple of seconds before they reached their destination. She was tempted to ask Cyrus about the number of floors below the building but a part of her knew that she wouldn't receive any answer.

"Ah… you are here."

Gabi froze when she saw Aden.

He was wearing a white coat, like a doctor. A sly smile was painted on his face. "I thought you would back down."

"Why would I?"

"Well… aren't you scared to die?"

"Are you saying that I would die from the treatment?"

"No. Even if you die… I would revive you, again."

"Huh?" Again?

"Let's go." He led her towards a white pathway. It looked like a pathway out of those sci-fi movies. It looked advanced, but she couldn't help but think about the reason why this place existed. Was this some… drug laboratory? Her eyes widened. Wait… these people are making high-end drugs?

"Relax, I could hear your breathing from here."

"Huh?" He was at least five steps away from her. How could he hear her… "Stop lying."

Aden just chuckled without saying anything.

"This place…"

"Is a secret and you are not supposed to be here."

Just as she expected. Was it possible that Archy didn't know about this treatment? Was Aden just acting on his own because he was looking for a sickly body?

"What if I use this information against you?" she asked.

"Then you will have to die."

She stared at his back. He couldn't see his facial expression but he sounded cold, freezing. He was serious. "I won't do that," she added.

"I know." Aden stopped walking and use his fingerprint to open one of the doors. A mechanical sound followed. This time, however, Cyrus didn't go inside. She stayed outside and waved at Gabi. "Except me and the assistant researcher, no one is allowed here," Aden said.

As if on cue, a beautiful walked towards them. "Miss Sutton pleased to meet you. I am Luna, the assistant researcher. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."

The woman smiled a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Gabi ignored the turbulence in the woman's eyes as she accepted her hand, shaking it. "Hello... I am Gabi please take care of me."

"Of course."

After the short interaction, Gabi's curiosity about Luna's presence was answered. Aden asked Gabi to remove all her clothes. This time, the one that would check her body would be Luna.
