Colin raised an eyebrow. “For Gina Miller? In that case, it’s unnecessary,” he said.

Ibrahim was surprised and decided to provoke Colin. “Really? Is there a business deal that Mr. Barnes is afraid to make?”

Colin sneered. “There’s a business that I don’t dare to do? Are you kidding me? it’s just that someone used Ash on Gina Miller before you did.”

Ibrahim was somewhat surprised. Could it be that someone had already bought the Ash for Gina! That would certainly save him a lot of trouble. Besides, Ash isn’t cheap. Knowing this, Ibrahim felt quite pleased.

However, he had a question. “But Gina Miller, supposedly affected by the Ash, seems completely fine. Could the virus your research institute developed have degraded in quality?”

“Impossible. This virus has an incubation period. Gina Miller’s good health is likely extending the incubation period,” Colin said confidently.

Ibrahim looked somewhat puzzled. “Really? I think it might be because Gina Miller is the renowned Dr. Genevieve. That’s why she’s been fine for so long What do you think, Mr. Barnes?”

“What did you say? Gina Miller is Dr. Genevieve? Colin was shocked.

The drug manufacturer at the research institute had mentioned that Dr. Genevieve was probably the only person in the world who could potentially neutralize the meticulously extracted virus. If Gina had discovered a cure for Ash, it would not only have ruined his business, but if it had been exposed that he was involved in such morally reprehensible activities, he would have faced worldwide condemnation. That would spell the end for the Barnes family. At this moment, Colin deeply regretted having Gina injected with the Ash. But back then, he had no idea that Gina was Dr. Genevieve.

“D m n!” Colin angrily kicked the table, sending cups crashing to the floor and shattering into pieces.

Ibrahim calmly watched the furious Colin. “Mr. Barnes, calm down,” he said.

After ranting for a while, Colin suddenly declared, “Gina Miller must die, and she must not leave a trace!”

Ibrahim nodded in agreement. “It’s not just me, many others think the same way as you, Mr. Barnes.”

Colin chuckled upon hearing this. “Gina Miller has plenty of enemies, yet not one of them has been able to take her down?” “Just a woman. She was just a woman!’ Colin thought bitterly and resentfully in his heart.

Ibrahim ignored Colin’s sarcasm. “I don’t have that capability. I’ll rely on you, Mr. Barnes. I can contribute financially and physically if you can replace a usa for me.” He hadn’t thought of a good plan yet, either.

“Get lost,” Colin said, his tone devoid of kindness.

With no business to conduct, Ibrahim saw no reason to linger and promptly left.

After venting his anger, Colin called the drug manufacturer at the research institute in Haylas. He said, “I’ve found Dr. Genevieve’s whereabouts.”

The person on the other end of the line became intrigued. “Oh7”

Olivia returned home, and Ella noticed that Olivia’s face was swollen. Concerned, she hurriedly approached and asked, “Olivia, what happened to your face?

“I got hit,” Olivia replied impatiently. Was there’s need to ask? Couldn’t Ella see it with her own eyes? She was wondering if Ella had swapped her kidneys.

for a brain!

“Who hit you? Who? Gina Miller?” Ella’s immediate thought was Gina, the ungrateful child she had given birth to, who saw their Desh and blood as enemies!

“Does it matter who hit me?” Olivia countered. Regardless of who it was, she and the Miller family currently lacked the means to retallate. The Millar family was no longer the wealthiest in Norwood.

Ella fell silent for a moment, sighing. I’m useless as a mother; I couldn’t protect you.”

“I’m glad you know,’ Olivia thought. But she said nicely: “Mom, let’s not talk about unpleasant things, okay? Anyway, I’m fine.”

Ella nodded in response. Noah Miller sighed as he walked into the living room. Sitting heavily on the sofa, he said, “is dinner ready? I’m starving”

“Not yet, I’ll go cook now,” Ella said.

“Mom, what are you doing? Your health isn’t good, and you shouldn’t strain yoursell,”

yoursell,” Noah said. “Olivia, why don’t you go make dinner? I’m too tired,”

he added before slumping down.

Olivia suddenly felt a surge of anger. “How would I know how to cook?” she snapped.

“You can start learning now, Mom, you spoiled Olivia too much when she was younger, and now she doesn’t even know how to cook.” Noah sighed. “I’m just so tired today. Olivia, why can’t you help out with anything?” Noah lamented.

Olivia became increasingly enraged, jumping up from her seat. “What did you say?! I can’t help out with anything Are you kidding me, Noah Miller? Most of the expenses in this household are covered by me now.”

“Our brother died, and you got 4 million dollars from Ivan, saying you wanted to make a comeback. You said you’d invest it in business, but it’s been so long, and I haven’t seen any results. Are you tired? Don’t you think I’m tired too? Don’t I go out to work every day to earn money to support the family?” Noah said.

“Liam is currently unemployed. Jason has been shelved and still owes the company a breach of contract fee, yet all he thinks about is returning to the entertainment industry. How many fans has Jason left anyway? He locks himself in his room all day, doing nothing but being a freeloader, Ivan always runs around without a trace; who knows what he’s up to? There’s Ronnie, too, I don’t know what he’s doing. With so much happening in the family, he hasn’t shown his face once. Ronnie’s living so carefree! And you, Noah Miller, how dare you say I haven’t helped?” Olivia said.

Olivia regretted why she had gone to such lengths to return to the Miller family. She cursed her past naively. Now, Olivia couldn’t get rid of these people. If it weren’t for the fact that the o g a n s of these people still had some value, she would have left them long ago.

“I just said it casually, why are you so angry? Olivia Miller, I didn’t realize you had such a fiery temper before. And what do you mean by saying you haven’t seen any results from me? Are you implying that all my efforts to expand our network and attract investment are just a game? Do you look down on me? Do you think I’m incapable of making a comeback?” Noah retorted.

“How do we know if you have the ability or not unless you show it? Anyway, I haven’t seen anything yet” Olivia sneered. She was genuinely being driven mad, turning into a shrew.

“I just asked you to learn how to cook, and you’re making such a fuss. Even if you’re unwilling to cook for the family, don’t you need to cook for yourself?”

Seeing the argument escalating, Ella hurriedly intervened. “Alright, alright, let’s not argue anymore. I’ll make dinner. Noah, Mom’s health may not be the best, but it won’t worsen just from making a meal,” she said.
