    "That person is Jimmy," I replied.


    Jimmy had beenying low after Genome Society''sboratories were sealed, rarely showing himself in public.


    "I heard that he has taken over a few of his father''spanies. Even though the Lincoln Group didn''t go to him, his business acumen is still impressive," Michael said.


    He was aware that Jimmy had been making his mark in the business world recently.


    I said, ''Then start approaching Jimmy to work together. You need to convince him of your grand n so that he''ll bring you to meet the mastermind."


    Jimmy was also a sly fox. Only by convincing him that Michael was a self-serving opportunist who wanted to rebuild a grand, powerful "new world'' through the reincarnation project would he think he had found someone who shared his ambitions.


    When a group of ambitious people came together, they often felt a sense of mutual admiration in finding a kindred spirit among themselves.


    As such, it was now time to put Michael''s acting skills to the test.


    "Go on," I said, waving a hand at him.


    "You know I''m not good at putting on a show," he said, clearly still struggling with epting it.


    "Forget about acting. Just be yourself and it''lle across perfectly." I waved my hand in dismissal again, feeling somewhat annoyed.


    Michael was about to retort but stopped when he saw my irritation. He walked out sulkily, turning to look back at me when he recalled something.


    He said, "Genome Society doesn''t conduct experiments without a reason. Have you wondered why they created Ashton and Xan?"


    I had indeed wondered about the reason behind their existence before this. ''My mother wanted to provide me a way to have my descendants with Steven in order topensate for the fact that gic clones can''t have children."


    Michael said, "But they''re essentially experimental subjects of the only project in the cruise''sboratory. Do you think Genome Society would''ve put in so much money and effort in maintaining them and the project if it''s just your mother wanting to make up for her personal regret?"


    He was also wondering about the value of Ashton''s and Xan''s existence.


    I fell silent.


    Before this, I suspected that Sarah wanted to let Floyd and herself take over Ashton''s and Xan''s bodies through the reincarnation project. However, since Ashton was a product of thebination of Steven''s and my genes, an isted gene chain had been formed.


    It was impossible for both of them to reincarnate into the bodies of the two children.


    "I''ll get to the end of this issue. This vi was exposed when Sarah got caught, but they wouldn''t dare to return so soon. You can focus on your task instead," I said, wanting him to put on a good show in front of Jimmy.


    Fuming, Michael curtly replied, "I kept him safe for you. Give me a call if anything happens."


    He left right away after that.


    I looked at the patrolling bodyguards in the courtyard and fell into contemtion.


    Michael''s question was certainly worth giving some thought. What was the reason behind pouring their money and effort into creating Ashton and Xan?


    "Let us meet Dad." Ashton came over when he saw me standing in a daze.


    I looked at him with raised brows. "I''m not done fooling with him yet. I''m not letting you see him for now."


    Ashton clenched his fists angrily and said, "That''s my father!"


    I rolled my eyes and turned to head upstairs. "And that''s my husband."N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    I still had to go and cheer Steven up.
