CHAPTER 796 PLAY THE VICTIM
“I'm not suitable for you.” That was the only thing Arius could think of to say.
Georgina paled. “Don't overthink my gift, Professor Gullifer. This is just a token of my appreciation for
the help you've provided me.”
Well, if she's putting it that way, I have to accept her gift now. Otherwise, I'd be embarrassing her.
Without any other choice, he accepted the box.
In response, she sighed in relief. “I'll be heading to work now. See you.”
When Arius opened the box, he saw a costly watch. This is way too expensive. Why would anyone gift
someone such an expensive watch for no reason? I'm feeling very burdened right now. What am I
supposed to do? I can deal with any experiment, no matter how complicated it is, but I've no
experience with romance. Georgina's a good woman, so I really don't want to hurt her feelings.
Sophie was amused by his reaction and let out a laugh. I didn't expect Arius would one day be in such
a situation.
“Why are you laughing? This is all your fault. What do you think I should do now? I really don't want to
hurt her.” Arius sighed. It wasn't easy for Georgina to join the Chanaean Medical Association. I can't let
this become the reason for her departure.
She answered, “How would I know what you should do? As impressive as I am, I'm incapable of
controlling other people's emotions.” There's nothing anyone can do to change someone's mind when it
comes to liking or disliking someone.
The matter was genuinely troubling Arius. What the heck should I do with this gift?
“All right, that's enough. We should head to Dr. Smith's office. I have something I want to tell you two
about.” Her smile faded, replaced by a serious expression. I mustn't let our enemy know that we're
aware they've planted a spy here. Otherwise, things'll get messy.
Upon arriving at Barney's office, Sophie told him and Arius about the spy. “Our research is at a critical
point right now, so we must be vigilant.”
I feel exhausted by this. We're all just doing research, so why are they so ruthless? Why must they do
this? Barney thought.
“Our data during this period is crucial, so please install strong protection on your own data. As for the
spy, we'll fish them out once the research has concluded,” Sophie continued.
“What about other people's data?” Due to the complicated nature of their latest research, there were
other people researching other data.
“We don't know who's the spy, so the only option is for us three to handle everything ourselves,” Sophie
answered. Right now, we can't afford any mistakes with the data. If our adversary tampers with the data
calculation, it'll significantly affect our final result.
“This'll be tiring, but it's our only solution right now.” Barney was in support of her plan.
Nodding, Arius said, “In that case, let me do more. Since I'm alone, I don't have much else going on
after returning home.”
“Okay. Oh, by the way, I'll assign you two a few bodyguards. Just in case,” informed Sophie.
“You only need to send people to protect Dr. Smith, Sophie. I can keep myself safe.” Arius was pretty
confident in his skills. As long as it isn't that maniac, Nicholas, I can handle it.
“This is a critical period, Arius. Anglandur won't let us off, so you must allow the bodyguards to follow
you no matter how uncomfortable you are with it.”
“I guess it can't be helped, then. Fine, I'll go along with it.” He knew Sophie was doing that because she
was worried about them.
“That's all I have to say. If there's nothing else, let's return to our experiments!” She didn't want to waste
any more time because the deadline was tight.
Another reason was that classes would be starting in roughly two weeks. Once school starts, I'll be
incredibly busy. That's why I must finish conducting the remaining few key experiments when I still have
time.
Barney was delighted with how Sophie was handling everything. Indeed, she's the most suitable
person to take over my position! She has excellent management skills, knows how to allocate her time
well, and always makes decisions others will agree on.
Upon arriving at her lab, Sophie scanned her fingerprint before entering the room only she could
access.
She wore her white coat, tied her hair, and began experimenting.
Her experiments didn't stop until the afternoon when she had to leave to deal with other matters. After
tidying the lab up, she left.
Initially, Arius was going to invite her and Georgina to a meal.
However, when he approached Sophie, he realized she was leaving. “Didn't you say we should hurry
up with the experiments? Where are you going?”
“I've completed my tasks for the day, and I have other matters to attend to, so I must leave,” she
replied.
“Is it something important? Do you need my help?” Arius was always eager to help her out if she
needed his aid.
“No need. It's just a small matter.”
“All right, then. You should be careful, considering you're a thorn in many people's side right now.” He
and Barney weren't in as much danger as she was.
“Relax. I won't die that easily. If they want to take my life, they'll need to be capable enough to pull it
off.”
“I know you're confident about yourself, but you still need to be careful, all right?” Arius was worried
because he wasn't sure if she had fully recovered from her injury yet.
“I know.”
Upon leaving Chanaean Medical Association, Sophie took a taxi to Wilma's place. The latter had
recovered after recuperating for a few days.
When she saw Sophie had arrived, she immediately let her in.
“I can do it myself, Ms. Sophie. You don't have to come with me.” Today was the day she would be
divorcing Phineas.
She knew Sophie had done something. Otherwise, Phineas wouldn't have agreed to the divorce that
easily.
“Have you prepared everything yet? If you have, we'll get something to eat first before heading straight
to City Hall,” Sophie suggested.
City Hall was also back in operation after the holiday season.
“All right.” Wilma grabbed her coat and followed Sophie out to a nearby restaurant.
After they ate something, they took a taxi to City Hall. When they arrived, they saw Phineas was
already waiting there.
He appeared particularly haggard, especially with his unshaven beard.
Pitifully, he pleaded, “Can we not divorce, Wilma? I know I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have done
that. However, I was drunk. I didn't expect it would cause you to miscarry. Can you please give me
another chance?”
