Chapter 1262


    The trio stayed quiet.


    Cayden and Colby stood at one side, looking at Lucian examining theb counter with different


    thoughts running through their minds. Colby was nervous to the extent of almost forgetting to breathe.


    Given a choice, he wouldn’t be willing to heed Lucian’s order to restore the scene during the day of the


    experiment because that would easily expose his wrongdoing.


    Still, if Colby had refused to follow Lucian’s instruction, that would be no different from dering his


    guilt to thetter.

    After mulling his options over, he had no choice but to restore the arrangement of the medicines on the


    Lucian was oblivious to Colby’s train of thought. He was focused on inspecting the medicines on the


    While doing that, he recalled every detail he saw on the surveince footage that day.


    Lucian clearly remembered Roxanne had touched all of the bottles on the table.


    All of a sudden, he fixated his gaze on a transparent bottle ced in the corner for a few seconds


    before turning around to speak to Colby. “Bring me to the surveince room again.”


    Colby’s pupils constricted as uneasiness filled him.


    He had noticed Lucian staring at the bottle for a prolonged time. Why is that? Did he discover


    something?


    Colby’s hand, hanging by his sides, trembled uncontrobly when he considered that possibility.


    However, under Lucian’s watchful gaze, Colby could only tuck his hands into his white coat’s pockets,


    feign calmness, and nod. “Okay.”


    After saying that, he spun on his heels and guided them to the surveince room.


    Lucian yed the surveince footage from that day and studied the video carefully again.


    As he expected, when Roxanne was doing the experiment, she identally knocked over the


    transparent bottle at the side but hastily picked it up the next second.


    Although the differences were insignificant, that bottle was not the same size as the one Colby had


    currently ced on theb table.


    Besides that, the quantities of the medicine inside the bottles were also dissimr.


    Lucian shifted his gaze onto the Colby onscreen, who was standing behind Roxanne.


    He didn’t believe Colby, who had spent so many years working at the research institute, would fail to


    distinguish between the two bottles of medicines.


    Unless he did it on purpose.


    “Mr. Farwell, did you notice anything?” Colby suppressed his anxiousness and asked warily, attempting


    to seize control of the situation.


    Lucian nced at him with an unfathomable look in his eyes. “Nothing for now. I’m afraid I’ll have to


    trouble you to keep that particr table in that state, Dr. Galloway.”


    Hearing that, Colby took a deep breath. His facial expression rxed imperceptibly. “Okay. I’ll do my


    best.”


    Lucian bobbed his head. After that, he got up and left the surveince room without taking another look


    at the surveince footage.


    Cayden followed closely behind him.


    After exiting the research institute, Cayden started the car. “Mr. Farwell, are we returning to the


    Lucian nced at the research institute’s entrance while wearing a grimace.


    Colby stood there reverently to see them off.


    Looking away, Lucian replied, “Go back to the office. Also, I want to see all the recent purchase orders


    by the research facility by tonight.”


    Cayden agreed with crity, started the car, and drove toward Farwell Group.


    At the research institute’s entrance, Colby’s legs turned to jelly after Lucian’s car disappeared from his


    vision.


    Lucian had disyed an ambiguous response earlier, causing Colby to be unable to ascertain whether


    Lucian had discovered he was the culprit.


    And because of that, Colby felt all the more terrified.
