NovelEnglishChapter 753:
Alice had really gone to the lab.
Verruckt found the feeling odd. He shut the door with a blank look, as if he had forgotten that he was the owner
of the house. “It was absolutely crazy.”
Verruckt now remembered everything from the night before. Not only that, but even in his dreams, he kept
making Alice cry, then licking the tears off her skin. The meaning of that was clear.
Annoyed, he walked to the master bedroom and stripped off his clothes. He glanced at his reflection in the mirror
and saw a smear of blood on his lower lip. Had she bitten him?
Verruckt tried to piece together the events of the previous night, but after pushing her against the wall, all he
could recall was a vague, burning sensation. So, she must've been angry then? He wiped the dried blood off his
lip with his finger, his face unreadable.
After a quick rinse, Verruckt slipped into fresh clothes and made his way to the lab. The moment he reached his
workstation, he caught sight of Allison nearby. She was unusually quiet, keeping her head down and moving as
though she hoped to blend into the background. She shuffled sdocuments mechanically, her focus glued to
the papers in her hands.

documents on the table, almost as if building a physical barrier between them. Verruckt felt a flicker of irritation
but kept his voice calm.
“You forgot this,” he said, tossing the keys to Allison.
“Thank you, Mr. Shaw,” she replied, her tone polite but distant. Without another word, she turned and left,
walking deliberately toward the break room. She avoided making eye contact the entire time.
Verruckt’s mood darkened, the tension in the room becoming almost tangible. A chill seemed to seep into the
air, and the researchers immediately picked up on it. They lowered their heads, pretending to be deeply
engrossed in their work, desperate to avoid his attention.
Only Jareth had the nerve to approach. He knocked lightly on the door before stepping inside.
“Mr. Shaw, we've received word that two international clients will be arriving this afternoon. They want to discuss
a pharmaceutical research collaboration.”
“What kind of pharmaceuticals?” Verruckt asked.
