Meeting You Was Fate

"If Nathan finds out about your lab, we're both in deep shit," Eve hissed at Ouyang. She had not expected this reckless obstinacy from him. To think that he just refused her offer!

This bullheadedness was causing her trouble. Her face was set in tight, angry lines as she met his eyes.

"I'll transfer all the equipment in the lab somewhere else. Don't worry. There's no way it would be found out by anyone, unless… someone saw you the last time you injected the poison into Arian's body." Ouyang drew out the words carefully as he watched Eve's expression.

Eve's frown deepened at his insinuation. "What?" she answered sharply. "That's nonsense. It's absolutely impossible. Besides, you should be worrying about other things. If this gets exposed, you'll also be in deep trouble. It's not too late to leave now."

Ouyang's lips broke into a wicked smile at her words. "We both know that it's not me you're worried about. You're just trying to save your own ass," he said.

With her true intentions found out, Eve's face burned in embarrassment. Damn him. He was sharp.

Ouyang chuckled darkly as color flooded her cheeks. "You're afraid that I will be a burden to you, isn't that right? After begging me for so long in the past, now that you've gotten what you wanted, you're kicking me away?"

Eve had no words to counter his accusation. He hit the bulls' eye and threw the truth to her face without holding back.

The property was in an ideal location in City A, and the possibilities were promising. The others knew this too, of course, which resulted in an intense bidding among business owners for the land. The biggest and strongest companies did not hesitate in bidding for it at the highest price possible. At present, the price had already gone up exponentially to
