Chapter 714 An Assassination
Natalie frowned and called Ross on the phone. Then, she headed to the research department.
When she arrived, Ross had a pair of goggles on and held a dropper and a test tube to conduct a
chemistry experiment. He noticed that the test tube’s content did not change color and recorded his
findings in a report. Ross was so focused on his experiment that he did not notice Natalie put on a lab
coat and came into the lab.
After some time, Ross finally noticed he and his assistant were not the only ones in the lab. Then, he
saw Natalie.
“Ms. Nichols, what brings you here?” Ross asked solemnly.
Natalie did not say anything but gestured for him to continue his experiment. She then went to assist
him.
After some time, Natalie and Ross left the lab and took off their sweat-drenched coats. Their wet stands
plastered to their foreheads.
“So, you thought the same too.” Ross continued solemnly, “You suspect someone poisoned the victims
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith an undiscovered poison. After the special medicine alleviated the cancer symptoms, the poison
caused their bodies to decline rapidly.”
“Yes.” Natalie nodded. “I believe this is an important clue. If we can crack this clue, we should be able to
prove that the special medicine did not cause those deaths. Furthermore, we can find out who is behind
this.”
Ross noticed that Natalie looked haggard but determined. Therefore he answered sincerely, “Don’t worry.
I will do my best to investigate.”
“Thank you,” Natalie replied.
After that, she worked until past midnight before leaving the lab.
She came out of the company building and checked her phone. There were messages from her children.
Mommy, are you busy with work?
Mommy, take care of your health even when you are busy. Don’t work too hard!
Mommy, when are you coming home?
Mommy, I… I miss you!
Natalie missed the children too, but she could not go home yet. Even though Samuel and the children
believed her, she felt that she should keep a distance from them until she had resolved the matter. That
would be the best for them.
As it was late, Natalie did not reply to those voice messages. She did not want them to know that she
was still awake at this hour.
Therefore, Natalie could only look at those messages for a long time before reluctantly putting the phone
in her pocket.
She went to a convenience store to get some food before heading home.
At this moment, five men in black attires secretly followed behind Natalie, watching her every move.
“This woman’s life is worth thirty million. You should kill her swiftly at the surveillance camera’s blind
spot,” instructed the leader.
“Understood,” the rest answered.
The reward of thirty million enticed these five mercenaries to return to assassination work. Their eyes
flashed with bloodlust and greed. They believed they could kill Natalie without a problem and get money
into their bank accounts.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie had been busy the whole day, so her eyes were a little sore and swollen. Therefore, she did not
notice the people approaching her.
Once she walked into a dark area, the five assassins signaled each other with their fingers against their
forehead to start killing.
However, before the leader could put his hand down, a sharp saber pierced through his chest, causing
blood to spurt out.
The leader opened his eyes wide in disbelief and died before he could make a noise. The other four
assassins saw what happened, but a few people covered their mouths before they could gasp in shock.
Then, these people pointed guns at the assassins’ temples.
The remaining four assassins were only in this for the money. Therefore, they were scared when their
leader suddenly dropped dead.
Although the killing happened swiftly and without struggle, they could not avoid creating some noise.
Natalie sensed something. She turned around and became alert.
Suddenly, a black cat jumped out of the bushes. It meowed before slipping into another bush.
