NovelEnglishChapter 675
Fred's gaze cut through the air like a knife, landing squarely on Chuck, who visibly shuddered at the impact.
Though Fred hadn't uttered a single word, that look alone was laden with a threat, making Chuck realize he'd
once again spoken out of turn in Mr. Winston's eyes.
But he hadn't been wrong! The company's sudden interest in working with Poppy Petal Fragrances was obviously
for Marguerite's sake. Who else could it be for?
Upon hearing Chuck's insinuation, Marguerite couldn't help but beam with pride. With nothing much to do, she
grew bolder and pointed at the screen, asking about the wafer-shaped object displayed.
"What's this now?"
Her inquiry clearly disrupted Fred's workflow, much to his chagrin. He had caught her sneaking glances at him,
though he tried to focus his attention elsewhere. Yet, she easily managed to throw him off his rhythm. Still, he
patiently explained, "It's a groundbreaking technology developed by Veracoria's top hackers. Once implanted

"How so?" Marguerite's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
"For starters, it could modify certain memories. In more advanced cases, it could unlock a person's potential in
specific areas."
Marguerite gasped, "That sounds terrifying! Wouldn't that turn someone into a robot?"
To her surprise, Fred chuckled at her comment. He looked at her, amusement dancing in his eyes. Her cheeks
flushed with an eager thirst for knowledge.
Catching Chuck's eye, Fred commanded, "Explain it to her."
Chuck stepped forward, dutifully following his boss's order, "Marguerite, it's not as scary as you think. The wafer
doesn't control people or harm the body. It's often used in the medical field, for instance, to help those with
severe depression by erasing traumatic memories and aiding in their treatment."
Marguerite tried to grasp the concept. "How is that different from ECT
treatments?"
Chuck shook his head, "The wafer is more precise than ECT. While ECT randomly erases memories, the wafer can
target specific events or individuals."
"Really?" Marguerite murmured, impressed. Then, looking directly at Fred, she changed the subject, "But
implanting a wafer must be illegal, right?"
Fred didn't flinch, "Yes."
"And you're okay with that?"
Fred's expression darkened slightly, a flicker of annoyance crossing his handsfeatures. Chuck quickly
intervened, "Marguerite, the medical field is just one application. Mr. Winston is interested in acquiring the
technology, that's all."

That made more sense to her. The man she remembered, though intimidating, had never crossed legal
boundaries. Feeling relieved, Marguerite turned back to Fred, "With your wealth, buying this technology should
be easy, right?"
Fred leaned closer, smiling, "Sthings can't be bought with money. They don't need my money, so it's not
always about what you can pay."
Marguerite was lost once again. Just then, her alarm went off. She silenced it and grabbed a small bottle from
the desk, popping two chewable vitamins into her mouth.
"What's that?" Fred frowned.
"Vitamin chews Violet got me, for boosting immunity."
"Medicine always has side effects, you should cut back."
Marguerite examined the bottle, "These aren't medicine, they're supplements..."
Fred sighed. When would she ever listen?
