Chapter 1489
Julian didn’t take a seat. Every moment without seeing Diana made him restless.
"If you don't hand over Diana and Betty," Julian warned, "this old manor will soon be razed to the ground."
He had said these words before, but this time, everyone could see that he was alone when he got out of the car,
and he wasn't carrying any weapons. They couldn't believe that one person could overpower them and destroy the
old mansion.
"Sir, don't talk big,” the butler, suppressing the feeling of wanting to submit to Julian, retorted. "You should know this
is our master's territory!"
Not only that, he had just informed the old madam.
Over the years, she had lived a secluded life. Despite that, she possessed powerful pharmaceutical skills, reaching

only they would have the antidote.
No matter how domineering Julian was, he would be helpless!
Snap!
Julian glanced at the butler, and waved his hand. No one saw how he did it, but the cup that they had served tea to
Julian was now in the butler's mouth!
Silence filled the room.
Jim was getting anxious.
He exchanged a look with the butler, signaling him to leave first.
Julian smirked, and looked at Jim. "Just now, were you asking him with your eyes if your mother had come?"
At the mention, Jim shuddered.
Over the years, his mother had lived in seclusion. She rarely appeared, and when she did, she never used the
Hughes family's name or her real name.
She was fully dedicated to her research, leading many to believe she was dead. Nobody knew her current skills or
whereabouts, and nobody voluntarily brought up the topic of his mother.
But now, Julian casually mentioned it.
Jim was about to speak, when a strange sound came from above.
Rumble! Boom!
The sounds made it seem like a strong wind was blowing. The butler, who had just left the living room, hurried back.
He removed the teacup from his mouth, and shouted anxiously, "Master!"
Jim furrowed his brow, impatient. A sense of foreboding was welling up in his heart. He got up, and walked towards
where the butler stood. A casual glance turned into a shock that made his blood run cold.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm’Mom!" he shouted loudly, his eyes filled with anguish.
"I thought you were an elegant and calm person, Professor Hughes. No matter what happened, you’d remain
serene," Julian said with a smile, clapping his hands.
Soon, the thunderous noise grew louder.
It was a helicopter.
Hovering conspicuously above the Hughes family mansion was a helicopter. Jim's mother was suspended by a thin
rope, placed at the door of the vehicle.
"Return Diana and Betty to me unharmed, and I'll return your mother," Julian demanded.
Jim froze for a moment. Julian's abilities indeed exceeded his expectations.
However...
"She doesn't need saving." Jim returned to the room from the courtyard, and faced Julian. "For the sake of the great
pharmaceutical experiment, she doesn't need me to rescue her. If she sacrifices herself for this cause, we'll
consider it an honor."
Julian tightened his grip on the cup, which cracked in his palm.
"Are you saying you intend to use Diana and Betty for a pharmaceutical experiment?"
