Chapter 1268

“I’ve already injected her twice, but the effect doesn’t seem to be as wonderful as what you said,” Ryan said in a cold tone. It seemed that he was not satisfied with the outcome.

Adam took his sweet time and said, “The effect of this reagent varies between individuals. If Madeline has a very firm determination, then it might cause the reagent to not perform to its full potential.”

He paused for a moment before continuing with confidence, “But no matter what, we’ll still be able to achieve our ultimate goal.”

Ryan raised his brows, his eyes no longer giving off a soothing vibe. Instead, it was replaced by a gleam of evil.

“Oh yeah, I got the news. Jeremy’s in Y Country,” Adam said.

Ryan was not surprised. “I knew he’d come to Y Country. It was just a matter of time. But he’ll never be able to find this place.”

His expression became stony. He put down the reagent and gradually got up. Even his orbs were looking stony as well.

“The number one young master of Glendale… I want to see just how good he is.”

He raised his gaze proudly and chuckled.

Ding dong.

Someone was gently knocking on the door of the study. Then, he heard the voice of the maids reporting, “Master, I’ve dressed Madam’s injury and she’s having her meal now.”

Hearing the report made Ryan’s icy cold smile look more soothing.

He looked at Adam. “Go get the things prepared to inject her with the third dose.”

Adam glanced at Ryan, then replied, “Alright, I’ll go prepare the things now.”

Ryan nodded with satisfaction and walked to the room where Madeline was.

Madeline was having her meal when her peripheral vision caught sight of a female outline.

She thought it was the maid but did not expect it to be Naomi who showed up.

Madeline gradually placed the cutleries down and looked at her with a puzzled expression. “Why are you here as well?”

“Hmph,” Naomi sneered and walked over to Madeline with a scornful look. “You said the man who you love most is Jeremy, but here you are, having a pleasant meal with Ryan instead. You’re so disgusting, Eveline, for wanting to dominate both of them!”

Naomi got more and more exasperated.

“Three perfect men from three affluent families of Glendale. They’re all somehow connected to you!

You’re the worst woman I’ve ever met in my life!”

Madeline could comprehend her feelings after listening to Naomi’s envious and jealous tone.

She did not want to argue with Naomi. She picked up her cutleries again and continued enjoying her meal, her pretty lips pulled into a smirk.

“Yeah, I want to dominate everyone. If you have what it takes, then be like me.”

“Eveline, you…” Naomi was apoplectic with rage and reached out to grab Madeline’s hand that was holding a fork.

Madeline was able to struggle a little, but perhaps it was due to the two injections, so she did not have the strength to fight back.

Naomi noticed that Madeline was weak. She smirked and took the opportunity to hit Madeline on her face. “B*tch!”

“Let go of her!”

Ryan’s roar was heard coming from the entrance. Chills were sent down Naomi’s spine as she quickly retrieved her hand.

Madeline was drained. She wanted to raise her hand to the wall to help herself up, but Ryan sprinted to her and helped her.

She evaded him, feeling disgusted. “Don’t touch me.”

Naomi looked at the scene with an unpleasant look. “Rye, look at her attitude. She doesn’t even love you! You’re perfect, so why bother lowering your standards to go for a lady who has been married, given birth to children, and slept with another man?!”

“Shut up!” Ryan got infuriated. “Get out of here!”

“Rye…”

“Get lost!”

“…”

Naomi dared not speak another word as she was afraid making Ryan angry would land her in trouble.

She had no choice but to leave the scene.

Ryan took in a deep breath and composed himself. He looked at Madeline who had a stony expression. “Eveline, stop opposing. You’d better listen to me. Or else, you’ll never be able to meet the two people I want you to meet.”

Madeline glanced at Ryan coldly, then spun around. “I won’t meet anyone. I only want to go home.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to meet these two people?” Ryan spoke in a suspicious tone, “I think you’ll regret it if you don’t meet these two people.”
