Chapter 846
After leaving the hotel, Rachel Grey drove to thepany.
As usual, she arrived at thepany and stepped into the elevator without noticing the inconspicuous
car following behind
her
Hans Grey squinted his eyes inside the car, and a glint of darkness flickered in his gaze.
Previously, he had shown mercy to Rachel, wanting to mend their rtionship as a family, so he had
refrained from taking drastic actions. However, he did not expect Rachel to disregard their past
connections entirely. Not only did she target him, but she also targeted the Grey family.
Indeed, she was like a wolf that could never be satisfied, just like her mother.
Since she showed no mercy, it’s no wonder he became heartless]
“Did you get a good look at the woman in front?”
The man sitting in the front passenger seat responded, “I saw her clearly.”
“In the next few days, I want you all to keep a close eye on her and seize any opportunity immediately,”
said Hans.
Upon hearing this, a look of hesitation appeared on the man’s face. “Mr. Grey, this is the Johnson
Corporation’s territory. It wouldn’t be wise for us to make a move here.”
“You fool!” Hans coldly rebuked. “Did I tell you to act here? Didn’t I say for you to keep an eye on her
for these few days?” He paused for a moment, leaning back in his seat. “Even tigers take naps. She
can’t stay here forever.”
Once they figured out Rachel’s movement patterns, why would they worry about not having an
opportunity to strike?! The man in the passenger seat remained silent, but the indescribable expression
on his face revealed his dilemma. Setting aside Rachel’s esteemed status, their n couldn’t afford the
slightest mistake. If things were to be exposed, their future would be jeopardized for the rest of their
lives.
The key issue lies in the identity of the person. Rachel, the heiress of the Johnson family, the wealthiest
family in Seaxas, was someone they might not have had any opportunity to get close to. It would be an
impossible feat to aplish
On the other side, after Rachel arrived at her office, she received a call from Lucas Jolmson.
Hiszy and deep voice came through the phone receiver and entered her ears. “Are you at the
office?”
Rachel casually responded, “What’s up?”
“Let’s discuss it when we meetter, Lucas said.
After hanging up the phone, Rachel started to focus on her work at hand.

When Lucas walked in from outside and saw Rachel bowing her head over her desk, he frowned
slightly. “I don’t know what you’re thinking. Instead of enjoying your life as a proper heiress, you insist
on working tirelessly in thepany.”
With the financial power of the Johnson family, Rachel could easily live a life of indulgence as a
carefree heiress. She could rely on her wealth but chose to rely on her abilities.
Rachel Grey closed the files in her hand and smiled faintly. “I wouldn’t feel at ease just sitting back and
enjoying my wealth.”
“If I had the favoritism of my father. I wouldn’t be working so hard,” Lucas said, plopping down on the
couch without sitting properly, resting one hand on the back of the chair. “There have been
developments on Mr. Bowes’ side. Do you want to go and take a look?”
Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation shed in Rachel’s eyes.
In the past, when she was involved in the drug trial, she had no concerns. It was not that she did not
find anyone worth clinging onto in this world, but rather that she felt it was better to leave things to fate.
-ording to the doctor, she could only live up to 18 years old. Every day she lived beyond that felt like
a gift from God.
Therefore, she did not care about any potential side effects or consequences when she was
undergoing the medication trial. In her eyes, every day she had lived beyond her expected lifespan was
a day gifted by God.
But now things were different.
She yearned to find a cure, yet she also feared that an ident during the trial process would leave
her unable to wake up again.
She worried about being separated from David, the person she cared about deeply, in life and death.
Lucas seemed to sense the hesitation in Rachel’s heart and did not rush to persuade her.
His own heart was also filled with hesitation and conflict.
He still carried the lingering fear from the incident when Rachel Grey took the medicine hastily, causing
an unexpected ident.
While he longed to develop a drug that could suppress the toxins in Rachel’s body, he was also worried
about any unforeseen incidents during the testing process.
Both of them remained silent, and a heavy silence filled the office.
After an unknown amount of time passed, Rachel finally said. “Let’s go.”
Upon hearing her words, Lucas lifted his gaze and looked at her, “Have you really made up your
mind?”
“What then?” Rachel’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Besides me taking matters into my own hands, do
we have any other options?”
Lucas lowered his brows, concealing his emotions, and murmured, “I wouldn’t mind taking your ce.”
But they both knew it could not be reced by anyone’s desire alone.
He knew it, and Rachel knew it too.
As they drove to the research institute, they found Ethan Bowes leisurely sipping his coffee with his
legs crossed.
Upon seeing Lucas bringing Rachel along. Ethan’s eyes flickered with surprise. He quickly set down his
cup and asked, “Why did you bring Rae-Rae here?”
“I brought her to see your research achievements,” Lucas replied, scanning the surroundings and
noticing an unusually empty atmosphere in the research institute. “Where are the others? Did they
leave early to celebrate?”
“They went on a team-building outing.” Ethan said, grabbing Rachel’s arm and walking towards the
workstation. He looked at Rachel eagerly as if presenting a treasure. “Take a look. This is the result of
my recent research.”
Rachel Grey’s eyebrows raised slightly. “So, what is your research achievement?”
Tve deciphered the third substance!” With one hand on his waist and the other patting his chest, Ethan
was enthusiastic. He spoke in a high-spirited tone, “After my relentless effort for 3,826 days, I finally
deciphered the third substance. I can confidently im to be the first person in history to achieve this!”
Lucas maintained a nonchnt expression. “So, you spent over 40 million dors to aplish this
task?”
“What do you mean just to aplish this one task?” Ethan, caught up in his passionate emotions,
snapped back, and looked at Lucas with indignation. “Do you think deciphering the third substance is
easy? Do you know how many days and nights I’ve spent on it? Can’t you see it has turned my hair
and beard white!”
Lucas Johnson nced at him faintly, his expression hinting at sarcasm. “Whose fault is it that you
insisted on dyeing your
hair white?”
Ethan was shocked.
“You brat, who do you think you’re talking to?” He angrily approached, standing on a stool to loom over
him. “Apologize to me immediately, or believe me, you won’t like the consequences.”
Lucas raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly disying a confident and fearless demeanor. “If you dare to
poison me, I’ll cut off your funding.”
Ethan Bowes was caught off-guarded.
When benefiting from others, one tended to be more amodating and forgiving, even if the other
person had ws or
made mistakes.
He gritted his teeth secretly and suddenly leaned on Rachel’s shoulder with a tearful expressión. “Rae-
Rac, you have to stand up for me. I’m a Medical Immortal, but I’m trapped in this small ce and can’t
see the sun all day long. I’ve been apanying this equipment day and night for research, but you
cut off my funding. These years have been a total waste.”
Rachel was left dumbfounded.
She looked at Lucas with a resentful gaze, silently expressing, “Why did you provoke this drama king
for no reason?” Lucas shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he epted the me.
