Chapter 501 Chapter 501: After ending the call, the man casually tossed his phone aside and turned to his subordinate. "Send the new drug we developed to... Zola. I like her ruthlessness. She'll be perfect for testing its efficacy." "Sir, that woman is tough, yet she's still inexperienced compared to Bryan." The subordinate paused before adding, "Otherwise, she wouldn't have been pushed back like that after she had Apex Group under her control.” They had done their research on Zola, confident that her fiery nature would make it hard for her to accept her dismissal from Apex Group without retaliation.

I'm really starting to want to meet Bryan." The subordinate lowered his head, cautioning, "Sir, please think it over. Bryan isn't someone you want to provoke, especially when your own life could be at stake." "Why not?" The man spun around. "This is about the new drug we're developing.

As her uncle, he hadn't yet had the chance to meet his niece.
On a quiet Monday evening, Eileen and Bryan decided to visit Roderick's restaurant, keeping a low profile. The restaurant, located near a busy commercial street, saw high foot traffic during lunchtime. By evening, as people headed home, the crowd thinned significantly.
Knowing that Eileen, Bryan, and Gabriela were coming, Roderick had reserved the restaurant's only private room for them.

Judie emerged swiftly. "Eileen, you've arrived! Cin. Roderick's tied up in the kitchen..."
No sooner had she spoken than she noticed Bryan parking the car and approaching. She cast a brief glance g his way but skipped the pleasantries, leading Eileen inside instead.
