Chapter 855

I Did Nothing Wrong

Jane was wearing her lab coat when she got out of the car. One would assume that she had come straight from her laboratory.

She looked towards Lin Ruoxi who was seated on the couch before greeting Guo Xuehua and Wang Ma with a friendly smile.

Lin Ruoxi stood up and greeted her after rubbing her eyes.

“Why have you come?” Yang Chen asked.

Jane took out a vial from her pocket and shook it. It was filled with a weird purple liquid.

“It’s the antidote. I was afraid that I would be too late so I decided to personally deliver it to you. Just have him drink it,” Jane said as she tossed the vial over.

Yang Chen took it and stuffed it into his pocket. “How did you manage to finish it so quickly?”

Jane let out a breath and brushed her bangs. “This is a genetic weapon called Tribute to Maria which had just undergone its testing phase in Nicene laboratory. I have a student who works there and they had asked me several questions not too long ago regarding the synthesis process. I looked through and told them not to experiment with it since it was extremely lethal but it seems like they still went ahead with it.”

The others couldn’t understand what they were saying, so they all kept quiet.

Yang Chen frowned. “Nicene laboratory? What’s that?”

Jane explained, “It originated from the Nicene Creed, a Christian belief from the Eastern Orthodox churches. But this laboratory was founded by the believers in Russian Eastern Orthodox churches. Their aim was to cleanse people of their sins using unorthodox methods. It's safe to assume that they are insane for their cause.

Yang Chen cut her off and said in a stern voice. “Jane, there’s nothing wrong with us. If you knew about this, that means that you knew about the Klyuchevsky family’s heritage. Damn it… I wouldn’t be so upset if it was the vampires. But the wolverines? Are they planning to have you marry Maksim and give birth to a monster?! Has Catherine gone crazy? How could she agree to this?!”

Jane shook her head. “Don’t blame her… This marriage was brought up by the Rothschild clan. The Klyuchevsky family had supplied plenty of oilfield and bulk amount of armory at a low price to us. Plus, I never had a lover so they couldn't wait any longer. My mother didn’t have a say in it as our royal status is dependent on the Rothschild clan.”

“Nonsense! They never planned to inform me about your marriage! They were planning to settle it behind my back! Did they really think they could fool me?” Yang Chen’s face darkened.

Jane smiled. “It’s no big deal. Nothing has been set in stone as of late. Plus even if I do marry Maksim, it would just be for show. I have no obligations to him.”

Yang Chen frowned at her words. “What do you mean, are you saying that you plan to marry him?!”

Lin Ruoxi understood what she was implying and she looked at Jane in shock.

Jane bit her lip and said, “He had already come to Zhonghai for me. This means that the situation would not be resolved lightly. The least I could do is date him for a start.”

Her words pricked his heart!

Yang Chen was about to say something but Lin Ruoxi caught his hands!

Lin Ruoxi gripped onto his hand strongly, causing Yang Chen to look back.

“What’s wrong, Ruoxi?” Yang Chen asked in confusion.

Lin Ruoxi told Jane with a smile on her face. “That sounds nice. Mr Maksim is quite the gentleman. He might be different from us but who’s to say he is not sincere right?”

Yang Chen froze. He put two and two together and realized that she wanted Jane to leave Zhonghai for good!

Jane obviously understood the underlying meaning of her words as she nodded her head awkwardly. “Yeah, if there isn’t anything else I’ll leave first. Goodbye.”

Jane ran out of the villa and they could hear her drive off.

Guo Xuehua and Wang Ma shook their heads in confusion, having witnessed the whole scenario. They thought it would be best to let the young ones handle things themselves and so they went back into the kitchen.

Lin Ruoxi let go of Yang Chen’s hands and let out a breath.

Yang Chen snapped back to his senses and walked towards the stairs without uttering a single word.

Lin Ruoxi felt bitter as she watched him from behind but her gaze was firm. Her voice shook as she yelled, “I did nothing wrong! There’s nothing wrong with wanting the best for my family!”

Yang Chen paused and nodded slightly before continuing his way up.
