NovelEnglishChapter 0468 | At this very moment, in the Duncan Institute of Research.., Hazel stood at the entrance, holding a brand-new black USB flash drive.
She looked at Lucian, whose face was pale, and deeply exhaled a long breath.
She felt utterly helpless.
In just one hour, Flynn repeatedly called her a dozen times—urging, threatening, scolding... The only demand was to ensure the satisfaction of Alexander and Amber, no matter what.
Each call felt like a death warrant from Hades, and Hazel was on the verge of collapse.
Once a dignified and noble young lady of the Duncan family, at this moment, she resembled a dog that had lost its home. Beside her, Lucian was even worse than a dog, keeping his neck tightly constricted, not daring to lift his head.
The two security guards at the entrance were no better.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Alexander and Amber came for the first time, they followed Lucian's orders and spoke to them disrespectfully. They intended to assert dominance over them. They finally realized the gravity of the situation, standing nervously behind Hazel and Lucian, their courage almost shattered.
"They... They're here!" Lucian's gaze trembled, looking at a
roaring bright red Porsche in the | distance. His voice could not help but tremble, "Miss Duncan, that's —__ | Alexander and Amber's car. They're here!" They came? Hazel's heart tightened as she watched the swiftly approaching Porsche.
Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and said, "Kneel, all of you. Kneel together!" Thump! She knelt on the ground. Her fair forehead harshly met the ground, creating a bruise.
Lucian and the two security guards dared not delay for even half a second.
They quickly imitated Hazel, kneeling on both knees next to her, foreheads
touching the ground. Especially Lucian, who even had a few traces of blood on his forehead. ee Compared to their lives, what was dignity? Flynn had sternly made his position clear.
If they could not overcome this hurdle, the northern Duncan family would be buried with them. There was even a possibility of implicating the Duncan family in Walganus Capital, potentially dragging down the entire Duncan Clan! The bright red Porsche came to a gradual halt at the entrance of the research institute.
"Mister Kane, Miss Chesire." Hazel, accompanied by Lucian and two
security guards, knelt and bowed forward. Looking at Alexander and Amber sitting in the car, her expression was nothing but respectful.
"You've finally arrived. Please come inside for a detailed discussion. We've already prepared the documents." Creak! The Porsche's window lowered slowly.
Alexander was gripping the steering wheel with one hand. He did not bother to glance at Hazel and Lucian.
He said nonchalantly, "The documents." Hazel blinked slightly, quickly handing the USB flash drive to Amber in the passenger seat. She tentatively suggested, "Won't you both come in and have a seat? I've prepared the finest tea and some imported..."
| She did not get to finish.
Throughout, Alexander had not even _ looked at her face once. He ignored Lucian and the two security guards kneeling behind, the electric window closing again. Stepping on the gas, he drove the Porsche away.
The documents were obtained, so there was no need to waste time with such minor characters. They were not worthy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStaring at the roaring departure of the Porsche, Hazel knelt in place for a while. It took quite some time for her to react, slowly rising with the support of Lucian. Her complexion finally improved slightly.
"Miss Duncan?" Lucian supported Hazel's arm, watching the direction in which the Porsche left, anxiously
asking, "What does Mister Kane mean by this? The USB flash drive is taken.
Are we in the clear now?" ~— l Hazel remained silent for a long time, softly chuckling.
Indeed.
Even the Duncan Clan was extremely wary. The position of Alexander was evident. How could such a prominent figure be on the same level as them, mere ants? Even though she was the lady of the Duncan family in the North, in the eyes of Alexander, she was at most a slightly larger ant, nothing more.
"After they get the data, they should immediately develop a new product, right?" Lucian glanced at Hazel's expression, pondering the situation in
the North. His heart could not help but tremble. "If the Xanthos family finds out that we handed over the data to the New Chesire Group, I'm afraid..." Hazel silently shook her head.
Certainly, the Xanthos family was formidable, but their target would not be the Duncan family, it would be the New Chesire Group.
There were no walls impervious to the wind. The Xanthos family must have sensed the movements of Alexander Kane and Amber Chesire. They were undoubtedly already strategizing, and a storm was brewing.
