Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1228 Something Shameless?

Logan was fuming with anger, but he knew that Nicole was right.

The Gardner Family was a renowned global financial conglomerate, and with Nicole being the precious daughter of the Wrenn Family, which held military power, they practically had a stranglehold on everything. Even the Goulds were wealthy in their own right. Not only that, the maternal side of the Gardner Family, the Jenkins Family, was a prestigious household too.

With all these forces aligned, even those supporting Logan dared not act rashly.

"You want to destroy my influence, but you must have solid evidence to claim that my grandson is responsible for the voodoo!" Logan was still desperately struggling at this point.

Nicole merely sneered, not bothering to argue further with Logan. What she wanted was to keep him on edge and anxious. After all, that was much more amusing.

She smirked, turned her back, and nonchalantly waved. "Take your time and think about what evidence I have."

With that, she walked away briskly.

Logan stared at Nicole's retreating figure, his intense gaze almost piercing a hole in her back. It was only when the person behind him reminded him that he snapped out of his trance.

"Old Mr. Yael, that woman is dangerous. It seems like she really has something to hold over you."

Logan tightened his grip on his cane. After pondering for a moment, his eyes suddenly widened. He

now realized why Nicole had instructed Nathan to take so many students to the science academy.

It was because the basement of the academy held a large collection of voodoo bugs. If these bugs were discovered, it would be difficult to dissociate the Gould Family from the incident involving the curse on Colton.

"Sh*t!" Logan cursed before promptly turning to the person beside him. In a solemn tone, he instructed, "Call Ryan right now and tell him to come back immediately."

Logan hurriedly walked ahead as he spoke. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Nathan arrived at the entrance to the basement. After she took out a key and opened the door, she immediately felt a chill emanating from inside.

While the students rubbed their arms, some curiously asked, "Doctor Zeller, what's in here? It feels eerie."

Nathan smiled and replied, "These are some precious collections from the science academy. Let's go in and take a look, but remember not to touch anything with your hands, understand?"

Nathan was the hospital director of the Town Central Hospital, and most of his students were prodigies in the medical field. Some of them were still in school. These over a hundred people who were curious about the academy's collections craned their necks and squeezed inside.

Nathan brought so many people here just to deny the Yael Family any chance.

Meanwhile, Nicole quickly arrived at the entrance with her group. Just as she was about to open the door, a hurried voice rang out from behind, "Nicole, what do you think you're doing?!"

Hearing that, Nicole turned to look and saw Logan, who was supported by Ryan, rushing toward them.

It was evident that Logan was in a great hurry as he was panting heavily, his face flushed.

Nicole chuckled and drawled, "Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to show everyone the treasures of the science academy. Old Mr. Yael, you surely won't be so stingy as to deny us a visit, right?"

Logan slowly approached her, his aged face filled with restraint. "Nicole, this is the science academy, not a medical facility. The things kept here are classified secrets of the academy. How can they be seen by so many people?"

Nicole looked at his serious expression and teased, "Hahaha! Old Mr. Yael, you're so nervous. I'm starting to suspect that there are some secrets you're hiding from the public here."

Logan's face turned grave, and his hand gripping the cane kept tightening. After a while, he turned his head with a serious expression and looked at Nathan. "Doctor Zeller, aren't we well-respected individuals? Are you really going to play along with a young broad?"

Nathan, however, replied calmly, "We're just taking a look inside, so why are you getting all anxious? Could it be that there really are things here that should remain unseen?"
