When she said that, she sat up only for Kendrick to pull her down again.
When her eyes met his electrifying and deep gaze, her cheeks became hotter.
She tried to be preemptive by giving Kendrick a kiss on his lips. “Muacks! This is my morning kiss to you. I have to get up now. You shouldn’t laze around in bed either. I think Lillian might be missing you.”
Niamh specifically mentioned her daughter because she knew that Kendrick was the most concerned about her.
Sure enough, Kendrick did not make her stay in bed any longer and Niamh went to the bathroom with her phone.
Ryan did not call back, so Niamh called him instead.
However, even after the phone rang for a long time, Ryan still did not answer her call.
When Niamh called him for the second time, Ryan hung up the phone immediately.
Niamh was upset at the thought that she might not get the fourth bottle of anti-toxoid test reagent when she suddenly received a message from Ryan.
He asked her to meet him at the coffee shop in half an hour.
Niamh knew that she was left with no other options but to go. Even if she knew it was a trap, she had to jump in straight away.
After washing up, Niamh had to find another reason. She lied to Kendrick, saying that she needed to go back to the office for a meeting.
However, Kendrick decided not to feign ignorance this time.
He called for a cab and got the driver to follow Niamh’s car. It was not because he did not believe her, but it was because he cared about her.
Not long later, Kendrick saw Niamh getting out of the car in front of the same cafe from last time that was in a remote place.
Kendrick was just about to get out of the car and follow her inside when he saw Ryan’s car parked not far ahead.
‘Nia’s here to see Ryan?
‘Was she also meeting him the first two times?
‘What’s going on?’
Kendrick could not guess what the situation was, but he did not want to get out of the car rashly either.
If Ryan saw him, he felt that Niamh might be in danger.
Ryan had been waiting on the second floor of the cafe. When he saw Niamh, he went straight to the point. “Eveline, would you like to save Kendrick with the fourth bottle of anti-toxoid test reagent?”
Ryan asked directly in an extremely cold tone. He was obviously dissatisfied with what happened last night.
“Don’t ask nonsense,” Niamh replied impatiently.
“if that’s the case, why did you act stupidly?” Ryan asked in a cold voice, his dissatisfaction apparent. “You only needed to be Mrs. Jones last night. Didn’t you understand?”
“I didn’t violate the agreement between me and you. I didn’t know that Kendrick would come,” Niamh emphasized, “Ryan, I’ve tried my best to do everything you asked for, but I’m just an ordinary person. Some variables are beyond my control.”
After Niamh said that, Ryan no longer said anything. He frowned slightly and seemed to be pondering something.
“Ryan, what are you trying to do? What’s your relationship with Adam?” Niamh broke the silence and asked.
Ryan looked up, his space gray pupils surging with obscure colors.
“You should stop asking because you’ll never get the answer,” Ryan replied faintly before picking up a box next to him. He opened it in front of Niamh.
When Ryan showed the contents of the box to Niamh, she was surprised as her heart started to race.
The box was full of anti-toxoid test reagents!
When he saw Niamh’s eyes lighting up a little, Ryan grinned. “This is a month’s worth of dosage.”
One month’s worth of dosage!
Niamh was extremely eager to get her hands on it.
However, she also knew that it would not be so easy for her to get it. “What are the conditions this time?”
Niamh went straight to the point, and Ryan seemed to appreciate her for it.
He did not talk in circles either. He said, “There’ll be a more popular bidding project in the near future. Once this project is obtained, it’ll generate considerable profits. I must get it. Do you know what I mean?”
“You want me to persuade Kendrick to give up bidding for it?”
Ryan nodded and continued, “He may not be interested in this project, but he’ll definitely bid against me for the sake of it.”
“…” Niamh could not deny that Kendrick was really hostile toward Ryan.
Even so, Niamh did not think that Ryan’s conditions would be that simple.
It was not just one dose of anti-toxoid test reagent but a month’s worth of it.
…
Kendrick had been sitting in the taxi on the side of the road. About ten minutes later, Niamh and Ryan came out one after another before leaving separately.
After watching Niamh’s car drive away, Kendrick told the driver to follow Ryan’s car.
After tailing behind him for a while, Ryan took a turn. When the cab he was in took the same turn, Kendrick saw Ryan’s car parked on the side of the road. As he passed by him, Ryan was standing by the car with one hand in his pocket, watching the cab that Kendrick was in with interest.
When Kendrick decided to tail him, he knew that his actions could very well be found out by the other man.
Ryan was a senior Interpol agent. If he could not tell that someone was following him, he would not be a senior executive commander.
Kendrick got out of the car as the summer breeze blew past. He walked up to Ryan calmly.
“Don’t meet my wife again,” Kendrick warned in a calm tone that sounded like the breeze on a sunny day, but his eyes were dark and heavy, pressing down like a storm.
Ryan raised his eyebrows disapprovingly. “Your wife was the one who came to see me. She was also the one who wanted to come as my plus one last night.”
“Do you think I’ll believe what you say?” Kendrick’s thoughts were very clear. “Ryan, you’d better conduct yourself properly. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing. I should tell you this. I met with Yorick on the day before his execution.”
“…” Ryan’s eyes suddenly sank.
Kendrick looked sternly at him with his cold eyes. “Don’t let me see you near my wife again. Otherwise, everything may fall apart for you soon.”
“…”
After he listened to Kendrick’s warning, Ryan’s face was no longer calm and composed.
His face fell. His handsome and gentle features clouded with thick darkness.
He picked up his phone and called Adam. “Get Lana’s location and update me immediately.”
Adam was obedient and immediately called Lana according to Ryan’s instructions.
Since Lana needed Adam’s anti-toxoid reagent to live, she had set a special ringtone for Adam’s calls.
Coincidentally, Lana had just run out of the anti-toxoid test reagents yesterday. When she received the call from Adam, she was very excited. “Adam, give me the anti-toxoid test reagent!” she said in a commanding tone.
“At eight o’clock tonight, you’ll go to the presidential suite of Glendale Hotel and wait. Someone will send you the bottles of anti-toxoid test reagent,” Adam answered unhurriedly.
Lana gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction. “Adam, you traitor! Have you forgotten who gave you the resources and asked you to do the research? Once my brother died, you were—”
“Lana, don’t indulge in the glory of the past. If you want to survive now, you’d better put away your egoistic attitude. You’re no longer a princess, so don’t act like one.”
“You…”
Lana wanted to continue scolding him, but Adam had already hung up the phone.
After thinking about what Adam said just now, Lana glanced at the time. There was still some time before eight o’clock.
She took a walk outside and went to the villa she had lived in before. It was now sealed up.
Lana was resentful and felt that everything that happened to her was Niamh’s fault.
Lana had been thinking about how to deal with Niamh until the moment she headed to the presidential suite.
When she reached the door, she saw that the door was ajar.
Lana pushed the door open and wondered if the person delivering the anti-toxoid test reagents had already arrived, but as soon as she walked in, she did not see anyone.
She decided to take a comfortable shower, and when she came out, she unexpectedly saw a man standing in front of the French window.
The man was tall and handsome, looking extremely attractive from the back.
Lana had not slept with a decent man for a long time. As she looked at the uninvited guest, her red lips curled into a smile as she walked over.
