CHAPTER 1479: CHAPTER 1479: THE RISK IS A BIT TOO HIGH

Even though Olivia Thompson was now just on the stairs, watching this scene from afar, she already felt a chill in her heart, inexplicably terrified.

In an instant, her palms were also cold beyond measure.

Olivia stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

But the people talking below seemed not to notice Olivia’s arrival, and continued speaking to themselves: "This... this drug is still in development, the risks are a bit too high..."

The person speaking to Vincent stammered because of the angle, Olivia couldn’t see his face, but from his tone, it was not difficult to detect his fear of the person in front of him.

"Give it to me."

Vincent’s tone was extremely slow, he even took off his gold-rimmed glasses from the bridge of his nose, adjusting the temples.

"But..."

The man seemed to want to argue something, but before he could say it, he was directly choked by Vincent.

The sudden action not only caught the man off guard but also startled Olivia as an onlooker, making her finally unable to restrain herself from gasping.

This sound drew the attention of the two people at the bottom of the stairs, and Olivia, in panic, sat down on the ground, hurriedly covering her mouth with her hands.

Vincent at this time released the man’s restraint, his gaze sweeping over, the man timidly nodded, seeming to understand his hint, yet couldn’t help but glance at Olivia, a fleeting shadowy glint in his eyes.

He pressed his lips and then hurriedly went down the stairs.

"Annie, why are you here?"

And Vincent at this moment restored his gentle and elegant demeanor, speaking in a soft voice while looking at Olivia, and then walked over to her.

In Olivia’s mind, however, was still the scene she just witnessed.

Why did Uncle Vincent show such an expression?

While Olivia was in a daze, Vincent had already walked to her side, he wanted to reach out to pull Olivia up, but Olivia at this moment subconsciously dodged slightly.

Seeing Olivia’s reaction, Vincent was not annoyed, just squatted down to look at her on the same level.

"Annie, did you encounter some trouble? Why weren’t you waiting obediently in the office?"

Vincent gently inquired, and Olivia blinked her eyes, finally slowly lowering the hands that were covering her mouth.

She was somewhat unnaturally twisting her clothes, demonstrating just how nervous she was at this moment.

Seeing that Olivia still didn’t speak, Vincent pressed down on his brows.

"I’m sorry, Annie, did my actions just now scare you?"

Hearing Vincent’s proactive mention of the incident, Olivia finally responded, lightly biting her lower lip.

"Don’t be afraid, Annie, Uncle Vincent had a reason just now, that person took something very important from Uncle, Uncle was in a hurry to get it back."

Vincent seriously explained, then gently touched Olivia’s stray hair by her temple, using his extremely gentle voice to soothe Olivia’s somewhat startled and uneasy heart.

Unexpectedly, this method worked.

Olivia finally no longer looked timid, instead voluntarily looked up at Vincent in front of her.

Then she blinked her eyes and gently nodded her head saying, "Annie came out looking for the second brother, but couldn’t find him and got lost..."
