Chapter 506 A Calcted Encounter

After handing the contract to his assistant to finalize the share transfer, Jonathan began to think over his uing meeting with Victor.

What he didn’t know

that, at that very moment, Sierra was running into Victor face–to–face.

She hadn’t gone out in quite some time. But today, Autumn had called, saying that Professor bMartin /bbhad /bfallen ill.

Sierra had always been grateful to Professor Martin. As soon as she hung up, she had someone drive her bto /bthe hospital.

She instructed the bodyguards to stay hidden and made her way to the professor’s room–only to run directly into a foreign man.

She didn’t recognize him, but he clearly knew who she was.

Victor had thoroughly investigated Jonathan–and naturally, Sierra hade up in his research as well.

He always made exceptions for brilliant minds. He didn’t understand much about biochemistry, but he knew just how remarkable Sierra was in her field.

Speaking in a foreignnguage, he struck up a conversation, asking questions about the hospital. Sierra answered, but her expression stayed guarded.

Seeing her wariness, Victor smiled. “You truly have a kind heart.”

Despite being cautious, she had still responded to him–just in case he really needed help.

It had been a long time since he’d met someone so gentle. She reminded him of the love of his ilife/i.

Even though he had imprisoned her and done terrible things, every time he injured himself on purpose, she’d still soften.

Maybe that was why, even after her death, he couldn’t let her go.

Now, in Sierra, he saw the same softness.

He suddenly understood why Jonathan cared so deeply for her–it wasn’t just admiration, but attraction. He’d been drawn in.

When Victor switched to their nativenguage and said what he did, Sierra realized who h

“Mr. Victor,” she said coolly, “what a performance.”

Her eyes shed with worry. She couldn’t be sure Professor Martin was truly okay–or whether Autumn’s call had even been made willingly.

Sensing her concern, Victor said, “Don’t worry. I haven’t done anything. This bis /byour country. And bI /bbam /bba /bw–abiding guest–I respect yourws.”

Sierra didn’t believe a single word.

He’d been brazen enough to do terrible things thirty years ago. Now, as head of the Victor bfamily/b, he was even more powerful.

“Excuse me,” she said. “I need to check on the professor myself.”

“Of course,” Victor replied, making a graceful gesture that carried the air of old nobility.

Sierra gave him onest nce before heading into the room.

Inside, the professor’s former students were gathered. Professor Martiny pale in bed–he was bclearly /bunwell.

“Professor Martin, how are you feeling?” Sierra asked, approaching the bedside.

“Much better now. I was just a bit shaken,” he replied with a sigh.

“What happened?” Sierra frowned. She could tell this wasn’t just a simple illness.

Sure enough, the professor exined, “Someone yed a cruel prank. I received a package with a horribly mutted dead rat inside. I thought it was one of my orders and wasn’t prepared–bgave /bme quite a fright. I suppose I’m getting old and fragile.”

He hadn’t expected to react so strongly. If not for his family getting him to the hospital in time, he might’ve been fully paralyzed by the shock.

A grotesque dead rat sent to scare him–Professor Martin hadn’t thought much of it.

There had been simr incidents in the past. Some animal rights activists opposed their research onb animals.

He had never been targeted before, but others in his field had. It wasn’t unheard of.

Autumn, Azure, and the others assumed it was the same kind of protest.

“Still, we should report it to the police,” Autumn said. “If your family hadn’t been home, this could’ve been dangerous.”

Azure nodded in agreement. Only Sierra looked grim.

The moment she saw Victor, she knew this wasn’t that simple.

He’d orchestrated a scare tactic against Professor Martin–just to create a staged meeting with her.

And all for a single conversation.

He hadn’t lifted a hand, but the professor had nearly copsed.

Of course–he was a lunatic.

No wonder White was insane. He’d clearly learned from the best.

The professor had been dragged into danger simply because of her. Sierra’s heart was bheavy /bbwith /bguilt.

She tried to ease his mind by discussing hertest research findings,

Sure enough, Professor Martin brightened when she spoke of her work.

Still, he couldn’t help but sigh. “I’ve had terrible luck this year.”

With the White incident spreading all over the inte, he didn’t even know how to feel bwhen /bbreading /bbthe /b

news.

“Professor Martin, I’m sorry,” Sierra said softly. “You’ve been dragged into this because of me band /bbthe /bformer Mr. Yeager.”
