So, that was why things had been quiet recently; he had been biding his time, waiting to strike with something big. She could now see that he was targeting her directly, using these researchers as pawns in his game.

But instead of flaring up, she kept her cool, her voice calm and steady.

“And just what promises did he make to win you over?”

Watching Alicia’s understanding sink in, the lead researcher felt a wave of guilt and helplessness tighten around his chest.

“At first, he dangled an offer of a tenfold salary increase, which we all rejected immediately. Afterward, he revealed that this hospital is set to be taken over by Blizzard Group within three months. That means even our project would come under his thumb. Caden’s business tactics are as unyielding as ever. To protect your research from his meddling, we have debated this endlessly and ultimately decided to buy some time by cooperating with him for now. But we can’t afford to wait any longer, which is why we have called you. We need to come up with a plan. Ms. Bennett, we have poured everything into this project.”

“We have spent countless hours, drained our resources, and exhausted every expert we could find. To see him swoop in and take it all without so much as a second thought—it’s nothing short of outrageous.”

The group erupted, buzzing with indignation. No one knew Caden’s character better than Alicia did. So what if he pushed the boundaries? This wasn’t the first time he had pulled a stunt like this. Who could actually stand up to him?

Cutting through the noise, she raised her voice.

“Give me three days. Whether you stay or go, I’ll have an answer by then.”

Over those three days, Alicia threw herself into investigating Caden’s activities at Warrington Hospital. She uncovered that six months earlier, he had launched a similar project there—using superior materials and achieving progress at lightning speed. He was miles ahead of her.

It turned out that Caden had been plotting this for half a year. Now Alicia faced two options: she could abandon her project or go to Warrington and continue her research. But time wasn’t on her side.

Three days slipped by, and before she could act, an acquisition contract had already landed on the hospital’s desk. Caden had made the choice for her.

As if Caden hadn’t already pushed Alicia to her limits, he soon followed up with a phone call.

“Ms. Bennett, I have reviewed your research data. I’m impressed by your abilities, and I would love to have you on board to complete this project with me. The lab and funding are all set up here, so you would have nothing to worry about.”

Alicia had had enough of Caden’s shameless persistence.

“Is this really interesting to you, Caden?” she shot back, not bothering to hide her irritation.

Caden chuckled, undeterred.

“What? The project? It’s worth every penny I’m pouring into it. Why wouldn’t I find it interesting?”

“Don’t play dumb.” Alicia’s patience wore thin.

“You know exactly what I mean.”

Caden laughed openly, a hint of amusement in his tone.
