"Biotech research center?" Justin''s brows furrowed deeply, exchanging a nce with Be.


    They could not understand how Bethany hooked up with an organization like that.


    "Asher, why aren''t you asleep yet... Hmm?" Arnold''szy voice came from the phone, seductive to the bone, causing Be''s goosebumps to rise. Arnold''s charming, captivating fox-like eyes appeared vividly in her mind.


    "I''m on the phone with Be and Justin. Did I wake you up?" Asher''s clear voice was incredibly soft.


    Rustling and intimate sounds came through.


    "With Be? It''s fine. You guys talk... Mmm..."


    Soon, the car echoed with the sounds of kisses.


    Justin''s throat bobbed, his palms around Be''s waist sweating. He could only turn his gaze outside the window, calming down his restless heart.


    "Hey... Asher, stop! Can you go act lovey-dovey with Arnold after finishing the serious talk? Can''t you wait for a while?" Be could not help dissing her brother, feeling embarrassed.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    "Sorry, Be. We couldn''t help it, haha..." Arnold''s joyfulughter sounded.


    "What is the RC Biotech Research Centre?" Be asked again.


    Asher said gently, "I think Arnold knows more about this."


    "RC Biotech was established five years ago, focusing on innovations in the medical field and drug manufacturing. Their key research includes cures for Alzheimer''s, Parkinson''s, autism, and others. Over the past two years, the government has investedrge amounts of money into their research. They could be considered a rising star in the biotech industry." Arnold yawned, "Why are you asking about this?" Justin asked, "Who was the founder of this institute?"


    "He''s known as Dr. K... He spearheaded the creation of this institute and published a few papers before, making a name for himself in Meridan''s medical field. Hey... Why are you asking this?" Arnold''s tone wasnguid, and he was dazed by Asher''s kisses.


    "Arnold, do you know anything else?"


    "I''m not too sure about the rest... Oh, they''re currently researching a type of drug that could cure Alzheimer''s and released news on their progress a few days ago. Now, they''re in a race against the Larsons. The one who seeds first will hold the secret to wealth in their hands."


    Arnold huffed, "Hmph, I hope RC does it first. They need to put Alvin''s arrogance in check!"


    This was getting moreplicated.


    "Thank you, Arnold. Justin and I will visit you when we''re free and bring some local specialties."


    After ending the call, Justin''s jawline tightened, his mind spinning continuously.


    "It''s weird, isn''t it?" Be frowned and shook her head. "Bethany had just arrived in Meridan and immediately got involved with the biotech institute. They had no connection before."


    Steven chimed in while driving, "Bethany couldn''t be so desperate as to sell her kidney to them for research, right? She has so many diseases. She probably isn''t worth much."


    "Justin, could your brother know someone in the research institute?" Be''s expression turned grim. "When Wyatt had a stroke, you even flew to Meridan to ask your brother for medicine. He got the drug that was so hard to obtain effortlessly. This means he has some


    connections in the medical field. Is it possible that he sent someone to fetch Bethany?"


    "Be, you''re speaking my mind." Justin''s long eyshes cast a shadow on his face. He shook his head. "But I don''t understand. If it was Grant, why did he help Bethany? In my impression, he doesn''t seem like someone who''d get involved in this."


    Be leaned backward, her rosy lips curling up as she said, "If it was truly like you said your brother was willing to sacrifice himself to let you live, and he was indeed so righteous, I''d respect him for being a caring and loyal man. It''s understandable if he couldn''t bear to see his sister wander on the streets and help her out.


    "But what if there was more to the kidnapping case back then? Or perhaps, after decades of physiotherapy and pain, his feelings for you changed, to the extent that he''s no longer the person you knew. If that''s the case, he is probably


    helping Bethany so that she''ll cause more trouble for you."


    Justin clenched his fists secretly, his broad shoulder slightly trembling under the meticulously ironed suit.


    Memories surfaced, pulling him back into that hellish cage.


    He could never forget how his brother looked after the kidnappers threw Grant outside Tideview Manor, barely alive and covered in wounds.


    Grant saved Justin''s life. Was that all a ruse?


    How could it be fake?
