Chapter 382 Fall Out
“I don’t want to disrupt the lives of my family and friends around me, so I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my hiding.”
She said it word for word, her tone cold.
“But there is a fundamental difference between you and I. LW Lab never did anything harmful to others, all the research is for people to get better treatment and life, I can say that I have never done anything wrong, even a single thing, since I established LW Lab, but what about you, Benjamin? Do you dare to touch your conscience and say that you have not done any wrongdoing?”
These words instantly stopped Benjamin, his lips pursed tightly, his face horrifyingly pale.
Ruby snorted, not showing him a single bit of mercy.
“Your Lab X only look at profit, never mind the harming agents, as long as you can make money and profiteer, you do it without blinking an eye, how many people have you harmed with those agents? Can you count them yourself? So Benjamin, don’t compare me to you, you will only make me feel sick.”
The two had completely fallen out, and Ruby’s words were no longer the least bit polite.
The atmosphere suddenly became very stiff, and Benjamin’s face became dark.
“Ruby…… ” He opened his mouth, trying to salvage it.
However, Ruby was not a saint and never showed mercy to those who had betrayed her.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Don’t call me that, it makes me want to vomit. Benjamin, two years ago, that new pharmaceutical development report you took from me did not come in handy, did it? Heh, you still don’t know, that report is imperfect, every reagent research has to be built up and overturned hundreds or even thousands of times, some of the data in that development report is faulty, so even though you stole it from me, in the end, you were not able to develop the finished product, I think, it is because of this incident that you have become suspicious of my identity, right?”
Her brow and her delicate face were full of contempt.
“Probably, you already suspected me of being a member of LW Lab, but you didn’t know my position in LW Lab, so you made frequent advances to me and found various excuses to approach me in order to find out something, but the imperfect development report made you think that I was just an insignificant member of LW Lab.
Plus, your people tracked us and thought that Levi and I had already left for Z Country. That’s why you dropped the ball and thought that I wasn’t a senior member of LW Lab, and that’s why you can appear here today in a dignified manner, but you were exposed after all.”
Before coming here, she had thought that if Benjamin was really the manipulator of Lab X, then while he was exposed, she herself would be exposed as well.
But on second thought, the two laboratories were already on bad terms, sort of rivals, so even if they were exposed, what did it matter?
Between them, however, it was no longer possible to be friends.
Now that they had become enemies, there was nothing wrong with being thorough.
Right then, after Benjamin heard her words, the corners of his eyes pressed down, the hand hanging at his side clenched into a fist, the bruises on the back of his hand rippling.
“Ruby, are you planning to break off your friendship with me? Don’t forget, as a member of the Hayes family in the capital, I am one of the few helpers you have in the capital, what’s wrong with you and me working together? We can all earn money together, isn’t that the best of both worlds?”
With that, he shifted his gaze and looked at Levi, his eyes full of hostility.
“Levi, did you say something to Ruby? Did you stir up trouble from it?”
Seeing that he could still question so righteously, Levi could not help but be amused.
“Benjamin, who gave you the confidence to think that after all the crap you’ve done, that Ruby can still forgive you and be friends with you? Do you know why she doesn’t like you? It’s strange that she would like someone like you. Ruby is the best woman in the world, if she really followed you, wouldn’t she be a flower in a cow dung?”
“You-” Benjamin was instantly exasperated, his forehead jumping at the corners.
He clenched his teeth, his knife-like gaze lingering on Levi’s face, before looking back at Ruby, his eyes surging with complex emotions.
After a few seconds, he stopped hiding his selfish desires and his gaze gradually became harsher.
“Ruby, this is the last chance I give you, think again whether you want to cooperate with Lab X or not.”
At that, Ruby snorted, “What? You want to threaten me?”
Benjamin’s eyes were dark: “You can interpret it that way, it’s up to you to decide, but I can tell you clearly that I want LW Lab, from today onwards, I don’t just want the reagents of your lab, I want to control the whole LW Lab in the palm of my hand! If you are willing to cooperate with me, then I will be merciful, but if you refuse, don’t blame me for not being merciful for the sake of all these years of friendship.”
Hearing these harsh words, Ruby did not have a hint of nervousness or fear from the first, instead, she wanted to laugh.
“Benjamin, you look highly of yourself, do you think that your Lab X can do anything in F Country? Do you think that LW Lab is necessarily weaker than Lab X? If you want to take control of my lab, then go ahead and come over, I want to see if you have that ability!”
The last shred of emotion was gone and the atmosphere became very tense.
At that moment, Levi reached out and took Ruby’s wrist, pulling her behind him, his eyes narrowing slightly, dangerous lights in his eyes.
“Benjamin, if you want to touch Ruby, then you have to go through me first.”
“Is that so?” Benjamin was unimpressed and sneered, “Levi, I think the person who thinks too highly of himself is you, what are you! Whether it’s in Sea City, the capital, or in F Country, you don’t have the qualifications to say this to me! Don’t forget, five years ago you were still my defeated opponent! Always was, and always will be!”
He had always harboured a grudge against Ruby for marrying Levi, and with the combination of old and new grudges, he had wanted to take action against this man for a long time!
He thought that when Levi heard this, he would be furious, but the expression on Levi’s face was somewhat unexpected.
He just picked up a careless smile, his handsome, compelling face full of disinterest.
“You defeated opponent? Benjamin, you seem to have forgotten that five years ago, when I brought someone to F Country to deal with your lab, you were running away from it!”
