The Million-Dollar Heart
Chapter 420
Astrid nodded affirmatively. "Yes, I've checked their IDs. They're agents from M State, probably here because they wanted to steal top-secret bio-weapon intel. As for Alfred and me, we're the heads of the lab." Vivienne pressed her lips, glancing back at Astrid, who looked slightly guilty. Then, Vivienne asked, "Why would you tell me something so critical?"
Astrid glanced at Alfred, who sighed, saying, "Tell her. She has to know sooner or later."
"Vivienne," Astrid continued, "We've been keeping an eye on you, recognizing your brilliance in medicine."
"We've been cooped up at home because the agency tasked us with a mission. They want you to join our lab and contribute to the nation's latest bio-weapons project."
Vivienne's interest piqued. "Bio-weapons?"
"Yes. Even in these peaceful times, M State is lurking, concocting various viruses to disrupt world peace. We need to be prepared, and this bio-weapons program has been ongoing for years, just without significant progress."
"Why do you think I'd make a difference?" Vivienne raised an eyebrow, her gaze laden with meaning.
Astrid pulled a document from her bag - Vivienne's perfume formula she had given to Dorian!
"I took your perfume formula to the lab for analysis. The head researcher said the data aligns closely with our bio-weapon experiments. Your formula led to a breakthrough, so I sincerely invite you to join us and lend your expertise to our national defense."
Vivienne flicked her earlobe dismissively. "Not interested."
Astrid was taken aback by Vivienne's blunt refusal that did not have even a hint of diplomacy.
"I know today's events have you worried about your safety, but rest assured, if you join us, we'll ensure you're fully protected."
Vivienne snorted. "If it weren't for us today, would you two even be alive to have this conversation?"
Astrid nearly bit her tongue, looking awkwardly at Vivienne. "Sorry, my oversight today."
