Chapter 261

believed that?” Winnie snickered before she continued, “You know how suspicious Harold is. What else is there for you to doubt when he has already acknowledged my identity? Besides, you’ve seen the goods I produced. Yet, you believed someone who suddenly came and told you it was fake?”Leandro’s brows knitted together deeply. “He also showed me his goods, and it was the real thing.”Winnie remained unfazed. “Oh? Then, should I congratulate you in advance for securing another talented chemist for your lab, Boss?”“Vivian, I know you’re indeed capable, but it’s also a fact that you were the one who burned down Harold’s factory. If your identity is fake, and you intend to harm me, I will never let you off the hook!” Leandro pinned a sharp gaze on her.In response, Winnie shrugged. “I’m right here, so you’re free to do whatever you please to me. Have him come over. I’d also like to see this person who successfully drove a wedge between us with just a few words.”“Fine!” Leandro promptly waved a hand and summoned two men over. “Go and bring the man here. Be quick about it.”After having given his orders to his subordinates, he turned his gaze back to Winnie.“There’s no outsider here right now, so tell me the truth—why the h*ll did you blow up Harold’s lab? Don’t tell me you’re Cabell’s spy?”His greatest worry was that the cunning woman before him would use the same trick on him and ultimately destroy his place. Then, he would be left hanging.Winnie was just about to speak when the phone belonging to the person beside her rang. The ringtone volume was quite loud, so she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. Seeing that she had been interrupted, Leandro flew into a rage and roared at the man at the side, “Turn off your d*mn phone! It’s so loud that it sounds like a trumpet blaring!”No sooner had the man declined the call than another call came in.Leandro shot daggers at him. “Are you absolutely dense? Scram!”The man alternated his gaze between Winnie and Leandro. “It’s a call from the hospital, probably meant for Ms. Vivian.”“Nonsense! Scram!” To Leandro, nothing was more important than the matter at hand then.Reckoning that it was probably Christopher calling to talk to her, Winnie trained her gaze on Leandro and stated, “I’ve told you this before. Harold promised me too little. On top of that, there was another chemistry professor working for him. He was already reluctant to promise me one-third of the profits, so he had been having that chemistry professor furtively research my technology. That professor was a prodigy. If he managed to figure out my formulation, I would’ve been doomed. Since Harold didn’t show me any regard, I naturally wouldn’t show him any mercy. As for Cabell whom you mentioned, do you think he’d be willing to let me go if he had an expert like me? Think about it from another perspective. Even if I were plotting against you, could you bring yourself to kick me out when I’ve got the formulation in my hands?”Without even thinking about it, Leandro blurted, “What a stupid question! I naturally wouldn’t do that!”“Well, you’ve got your answer right there.” As Winnie’s words rang out, Leandro’s subordinate led a man over.The man was unusually burly, tanned, and muscular, so he was indeed more fitting of the moniker of “Big Black Bear” compared to her.While Winnie eyed him, her brain started whirring at warp speed.Noticing that she was spacing out as she stared at Big Black Bear, Leandro couldn’t resist lifting his hand and waving it in her face. “What are you doing? Are you feeling guilty?”Snapping out of her thoughts, Winnie sneered, “Why should I feel guilty?”“Okay! In that case, confront each other face to face then!” Leandro leaned back against the chair, waiting to watch the show.When the man known as Big Black Bear had come over, he whipped out the gun he carried with him.Slamming it onto the table, he first looked at Big Black Bear before glancing at Winnie.“Go ahead and have a chat. If I were to discover which of you is a spy from my competitors, I wouldn’t show any mercy.”Winnie threw a look at Leandro. Subsequently, she motioned at Big Black Bear to have a seat.“Have a seat,” Winnie offered.Leandro cast a glance at her. “He speaks a foreign language.”At that, Winnie grunted in acknowledgment. “What’s so great about that? I know a foreign language, too.”“Great! I know some as well. Do you still remember me telling you back when we drank that I’ve been abroad for a few years? Therefore, don’t try to fool me,” Leandro warned.Tapping the gun on the
