Chapter 1170 One Night of Research

Evelyn hung up and returned to the room, where Colton was still unconscious. Perhaps he was exhausted from his

outburst earlier as his face looked rather weary. Although she wanted to make him hers, she didn't want him to die

just like that. It looks like I can only do this the long way, just as Ryan told me to. Then, she picked him up from the

ground, dragging his deadweight body toward the bed and placing him on the bed with great effort. I can't be

impatient now. I've already waited so many years, anyway. What difference does a few days make?

As she stared at the gorgeous face on the bed, her face softened, and her heart fluttered. She reached out and

wanted to feel his face but retracted right after she touched him. If he loses his mind as he did earlier, I may

actually die this time, she thought and kept her hands to herself. Well, if that's the case now, I'll wait a little longer

and spend some time alone with him first to get close to him before we move on to the next step.

On the other side, Natasha became frantic when she found out that Nicole was White's apprentice. Not even in her

wildest dreams did she imagine that Nicole was connected to Nathan because she was that genius girl from years

ago. So, she returned to the science academy in a daze before she was abruptly stopped by Ryan.

"Natasha." Ryan's voice was clear but flat, and she couldn't help but tremble in response.

She turned her head to him and happened to meet his bewitching face. Regrettably, she was well aware that

underneath that enthralling exterior was a monstrous man with a heart as black as coal. So, she pursed her lips and

took a step back in fear, but a thought popped into her mind, and she greeted him timidly, "H-Hi, Mr. Yael."

Ryan merely narrowed his eerie bloodshot eyes at her while he sized her up and questioned with a slight smile on

his face, "Are you the one behind the scandal today?"

Natasha bit her lip and nodded. "Yes."

A low chuckle escaped his lips and he spun around, saying dispassionately, "Nicole is White's student and a talent

that's hard to come by. I suppose I don't have to tell you about the feud between my family and White, do I?"

"I know about it," she answered simply, staring at the floor.

"You were sent to set Nicole up because there's a grudge between her and the Yaels. The celebration is tomorrow,

so don't do anything dumb and just complete the task I gave you," Ryan intoned coldly.

His icy tone coupled with his creepy face made her heart tremble with terror, and she hurriedly answered, "I-I got

it."

"Natasha." Ryan's voice was clear but flat, and she couldn't help but tremble in response.

Then, he shot her a glance and added, "Since you're already involved in setting Nicole up earlier, she won't let you

off even if you don't help me out."

Natasha clenched her fists and nodded. "I know. Don't worry, Mr. Yael. I won't fail you."

He didn't say anything else as he sauntered off, ending the conversation right there and then. As she watched his

silhouette walking further and further away, her strung-up emotions finally relaxed. She had never thought that she

would be dragged into this mess, but she had no room for retreat now. Tomorrow, she could definitely take Nicole

down with the Yaels' support!

At the same time, Nicole preoccupied herself with research regarding the voodoo bug and burned the midnight oil

studying the specimen. When Nathan checked in on her, she was groggy and weak. Exhaustion was written all over

her pretty face and the dark circles beneath her eyes were so obvious that they resembled the markings of a

panda.

Nathan was utterly shocked to find her looking like this and he hastily questioned, "Nicole, you didn't sleep a wink

through the night, did you?"

She closed her eyes wearily and rubbed them before chuckling weakly. "Yeah, I've spent my time studying this

creature and I've finally made some headway."
