Return of the Lost Heiress

Chapter 1609

Meanwhile, in Nexus Corporation's underground facility, the girls lay unconscious on the operating table.

Edward meticulously examined them from head to toe with medical instruments. His examination surpassed even a hospital's full-body check.

Once he was done with two of the girls, he instructed his team to take them away. "Notify the clients that the goods are fine. Those who can't wait can come today."

Unlike a regular company, Melanie clearly had the lowest authority in the organization. She seemed to heed all of Edward's words. "Understood. But the atmosphere has been tense lately. I'm worried the higher-ups won't find it convenient to come."

"The rare goods are specifically requested by that man. With the medium present, they'll be here. Don't worry." Edward appeared unfazed as he adjusted his glasses. The instruments in his hands looked less like medical equipment and more like tools for dismemberment.

However, if one listened closely, they would notice the slightly unnatural emphasis in his speech. No matter how strong a person's learning ability, their ingrained habits couldn't be changed. Particularly the way he pronounced the ending of his words...

Wynter, with her narrowed eyes, felt her hands twitch slightly.

"Wait a moment," Edward suddenly said as he turned his gaze toward Wynter.

Those with poor mental resilience would have broken character by now, but Wynter didn't. Her breathing remained steady, mimicking that of someone who was still unconscious.

Edward approached her, lowering his gaze to examine "Eliana's" face, a clear chill emanating from him.

"She was the last one brought in. Because of her situation, one of our bases can't be used anymore. We need to be extra cautious this time. Inform Jarek to keep the villagers alert. If today's business goes smoothly, there will be benefits for him."

"Understood." Melanie acknowledged the command and left.

Edward continued to gaze at "Eliana" as he spoke. "Compared to our master, you still fall short. But it has to be this way. If it weren't for Wynter ruining our plans Kingbourne, we wouldn't have needed you.

"Once you're six feet under, blame her for your grievances. It's unfortunate for such a horoscope to be wasted on someone lowly like you. We might as well use you to your full potential."
