On the other side…
Archer had been staying in the laboratory for several days and he felt his body smelly. Therefore, after
arranging his tasks, he went home to take a shower and wash his clothes.
However, he felt that someone was following him on the way home.
Archer took a glance through the rear-viewed mirror and drove the car at a steady speed.
After driving for a distance, he quickly found an interception and left the highway when they didn’t pay
attention to him.
When he arrived at the road under a bridge, Archer stopped the car by the roadside. When seeing that
the car which had been following him disappear in his vision, Archer whistled triumphantly and went
home after driving around half of the city.
After parking his car in the underground parking lot, Archer got out of the car slowly with the key in his
hand.
However, he stopped after taking two steps.
Nathan, who stood at a place not far away from him, smiled at him.
Archer was rendered speechless.
He hurriedly turned around, wanting to get into the car, but only to find that there were many people
behind him.
Archer swung his hair and clicked his tongue, “I didn’t expect I would experience this one day. Who’s
your master? Have you investigated who I am? How dare you block my way here?”
Nathan replied, “Mr. James, we just want to ask you several questions.”
“What are they? Are they so important that you have to bring many people here? I drove around half of
the city. You should have told me earlier so that I will wait for you at home.”
Nathan maintained his smile, “Oh, you misunderstood it. We followed you to ensure your safety and we
didn’t expect you would suddenly run away.”
Archer crossed his arms in front of his chest. He was not nervous even though he was under such a
circumstance, “Spill the beans. I will consider whether to answer your questions or not.”
Nathan didn’t reply and simply stepped aside.
At the next second, a tall man appeared in Archer’s vision. The man stared at him indifferently.
Archer was lost for words.
He really wanted to run away at the moment.
Clarence said in a cold voice, “Do you want to talk here?”
Archer immediately straightened his back, “This way please.”
In the lift, Archer stood near the door restrainedly with Nathan standing by his side. Clarence stood
behind them and leaned his back against the wall of the lift.
The whole lift was overwhelmed by a cold aura.
Archer felt a bit regretful. He was a man, so what was the matter even though he smelled bad? Why
did he suddenly decide to go home to take a shower and change his clothes?
He deserved what he faced now as he was caught by Clarence.
Archer felt bitter, yet he couldn’t say it out.
The deadly silence spread in the lift and when the air became thinner and thinner…
The doors of the lift were opened with a crisp sound.
But Archer didn’t move.
Clarence walked out of the lift in strides.
Archer couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘Come on, does this man even know about my room number?’
Several seconds later, Clarence stopped in front of a door.
As expected…
Archer coughed, walked over and pressed on the fingerprint lock to open the door.
After the door was opened, he directly walked into the house, “Have a seat and don’t be courteous.”
However, when he was about to reach the hidden cabinet in which there was an alarming apparatus to
contact Darnell, Nathan showed up beside him with a smile, “Mr. James, please have a seat.”
Archer gave up on struggling.
He sat opposite Clarence restlessly.
Clarence crossed his long legs and looked up at him, exuding an oppressing aura.
Archer changed a posture, “Spill the beans. What do you want to ask me? I will tell you everything I
know.”
Nathan was rendered speechless.
What did he say just now?
Clarence said slowly in a flat tone, “The baby’s condition.”
“As for this matter… I’ve reported to Ms. Radomil in detail. Didn’t she tell you about that?”
“I want you to tell me personally.”
As Archer couldn’t win him physically, he could only surrender. He repeated the words he had said to
Stella in the past two days to Clarence.
Leaning against the sofa, Clarence showed no change in his expression.
After finishing the words, Archer continued, “We’re working for a treatment plan. His condition is
relatively complicated, plus that the outsiders are not allowed to enter the laboratory, so you can’t come
to see the child. But I sent the baby’s photos to Ms. Radomil every day. I… I guess she has told you
about this, right?”
Clarence didn’t reply and simply asked, “How long will the treatment take?”
Archer replied, “I’m not sure about this. We haven’t decided on the treatment plan yet.”
“Are two years enough?”
Archer shook his head, “His condition is much more serious than the child who had the same
symptoms before. This is the reason why we didn’t choose the same treatment plan. I can’t promise
you on other matters, but I can tell you that he can’t be cured in two years. Maybe it will cost five years,
ten years, or longer. It’s normal.”
Clarence slightly pressed his lips together and his expression turned colder.
Archer hurriedly said, “Oh, but this is a problem of possibility. We haven’t found the breakthrough point
yet. If we manage to find it, maybe there will be a miracle.”
Clarence looked at him, “You said his condition is more serious. What did you mean?”
Archer’s expression became serious when he heard the question. He slightly frowned, “Someone has
modified the nutrition needle, which caused his condition to deteriorate after the injection,”
“Only the members of your laboratory have access to the data.”
“This is true. But all the data and relevant documents have been ruined two years ago. There’re many
members in the laboratory and each of them has a certain reputation in the medical community. It’s
inappropriate to doubt them without any evidence.”
Clarence remained silent and looked at him expressionlessly.
Feeling guilty under his gaze, Archer shifted his gaze away.
After a long while, Clarence broke the silence, “The second thing, I want to know the exact time of the
James’ family gathering.”
“Is it appropriate to tell you about that?”
Clarence replied, “As for some other matters, you don’t have the guts to tell me even if I ask you.”
Archer said, “But you can get into the venue even if I tell you the exact time.”
“You can enter the venue, right?”
Archer was bewildered.
Clarence continued, “The third thing, take us into the gathering.”
Archer stood up and refused it righteously, “It’s gone too far. I would rather you kill me.”
“Really?”
Clarence took a glance at Nathan. Nathan nodded his head and waved his hand, and several security
guards immediately walked over.
Archer quickly sat down and said in a serious tone, “I think over it and think this matter negotiable. Let’s
discuss the detailed plan.”
Clarence curved his thin lips upwards and looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.
Archer closed his eyes, preparing for all the possible consequences, “Next weekend. In the James’
Mansion.”
“Who will take part in the party?”
“All the James. But it’s boring to have such a gathering. The seniors act highly and the youngers feel
restless.”
Clarence tapped the arm of the sofa with his fingers and asked blandly, “Will Darnell come?”
Archer nodded his head, “He’s now the patriarch of the James family. Therefore, even if he doesn’t
want to come, the doyens would still force him to come.”
Clarence asked, “What’s the theme of the gathering?”
“To worship the ancestors.”
