Now Winston and the Hill Group were eager to prove themselves , to secure a foothold in the market before competitors caught up . " And to you , I'm the company that can give you that security ? " I asked . " Indeed , Mr. Grimwald , " Winston said , a faint blush coloring his face . " I trust you completely . After talking with you all afternoon , I feel we could actually be friends .

" Chapter 476 +25 Bonus Meanwhile , across the city , Luke stumbled into a luxury car looking utterly disheveled . His clothes were wrinkled , his hair a mess , and his face pale with exhaustion and fear . Inside the car , besides the driver , sat Terry . Luke's eyes were bloodshot , his voice hoarse .

" Mr. Amos , I followed every instruction you gave me ! But something went wrong . Sebastian somehow figured out the formula was fake . He must have someone powerful backing him ! I did everything I could . This isn't my fault ! Mr. Amos , please - let my son go ! " " Dr. Skye , look at yourself , " Terry drawled , his tone full of mockery . " Why are you panicking ? The job failed , and before I've even decided how to deal with you , you're already trying to negotiate ? " " No ... I wouldn't dare ! " Luke's body trembled , his face tight with fear .

Terry picked up a cup of freshly ground coffee and took a slow sip , savoring it as if time itself waited for him . Only after a long pause did he open his eyes and glance coldly at the doctor . " I know who's helping Sebastian , " he said . " She's back . The main fault isn't yours , but you still failed . You can't deny that . " how Terry sneered , " That useless Sebastian - how does he always find someone to rescue him ? " He leaned back , his tone turning darker . " If subtle methods won't work , I'll just have to raise the stakes .

" His voice dripped with menace as he fixed his gaze on Luke . " If I recall correctly , your family has an ancestral poison - colorless , odorless , dissolves instantly in water ? " Luke flinched , dread flickering across his face . He hesitated , then nodded stiffly . " Yes . " " Good . " Terry's smile curved into something cruel . " We'll use that poison to get rid of Sebastian . " " As long as you kill him , your son walks free . I'll even settle his debts . " " Kill Sebastian ? " Luke's eyes widened in horror . " Mr. Amos , I can't ! That's murder ! It's illegal ! " " So what ?

" Terry rolled his eyes . " Don't act like some saint . You handed Sebastian a formula that could poison people slowly . Wasn't that murder too ? " He grabbed Luke by the collar , irritation flashing in his eyes . " Think carefully . What's more important - your reputation or your son's life ? " " My ... My son ... " Luke's knees gave out , and he crumpled to the floor , his face ashen . Fear and despair battled inside him until something else - cold and grim - took their place . His expression hardened . " When , Mr. Amos ? " " Now that's better .

" Terry's lips curled into a satisfied grin . " I'll tell you when the time comes . In a few days , there'll be a top - tier banquet in Astergrad . Sebastian thinks he's some golden boy everyone adores ? I'll make sure he dies in front of them all . That's the price for crossing me. " Terry's face twisted with vicious delight , as if he could already see Sebastian's final moments . " When the time comes , you'll have help . My plan's already in motion . Now get out . " At his command , Terry's expression turned calm again . Luke stumbled out of the car , shaking from head to toe .
