Chapter 1134 Were These Really Related to That Dream?
‘That’s right. It’s only been a month, yet she’s dead now.’
‘Gosh! This is so strange.’
‘According to insiders, Melissa’s death is closely related to this billion-dollar medical order!’
‘Hmm…’
Soon, news of Melissa’s death spread like wildfire.
All of a sudden, rumors erupted everywhere. At the same time, Janet, who had just returned to Lowry Residence, received a call from Lee. Needless to say, this phone call must be about the progress on Melissa’s murder case.
Surely enough, as soon as it was connected, Lee’s voice rang from the phone. “Melissa, I’ve found something—as the netizens said, Melissa’s death is related to this billion-dollar order. According to internal sources, it was the employer who killed Melissa.”
Janet was not at all surprised by this result. The death and theft were linked; it was all orchestrated by the same person. She had already guessed it. However, she was a little more curious about her following question. “Then have you found out who this mystery employer is?”
After those words left her mouth, the person on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment. He didn’t say anything—perhaps he just didn’t know.
Janet didn’t want to be hard on him either, so she was about to hang up. However, when she was about to hang up, Lee spoke slowly in a dull voice. “I don’t know who it is, but the people on the inside called him Mr. Hills.”
Almost instantly, Janet’s face sank.
Hills… She happened to know someone with the last name ‘Hills’. If she remembered correctly, it was said before that the employer was from Markovia. Melissa was killed in Yobril, so it meant that the employer also went there. Her acquaintance with the last name Hills was coincidentally in Yobril as well.
“Heh.” Janet couldn’t help but sneer.
Lee, on the other end of the phone, had also just guessed this, so he was silent for a while just now. Janet’s sneer happened to prove that they were thinking the same thing. He unabashedly expressed his guess at this moment and said solemnly, “Janet, do you also think it’s Corey?”
“Yes,” she answered coldly.
By the time he was about to say something, the phone had already been hung up. Lee squinted his eyes and immediately felt that this matter was not so simple.
Janet didn’t wait for Lee to finish speaking because he wouldn’t know what she wanted to know. What she wanted to know was—what exactly were the stolen antidotes in the laboratory?
When she speculated that the murderer was Corey just now, she suddenly had a bad premonition. If there was an antidote, there must be a poison. What had Melissa been studying? Corey spent a billion on this, which meant the things she had been researching on must have been very important. Now that Corey has had a falling out with me, the chances of this kind of thing being used against me would be high. No matter how arrogant Corey was before this, I didn’t feel any fear at all. But that dream… Are these things really related to that dream?
It was impossible for Lee to know about such a private matter. If he had known, he would have told her right away. Janet didn’t even think about it and directly sent a text message to Sheldon.
Sheldon was cooperating with the Rocher Family, and all the experiments and research Melissa did were funded and supported by him. Therefore, the probability of Sheldon knowing about this would be much higher.
Two minutes later, there was still no response from him. Therefore, Janet started to make a phone call. Soon, the voice call finally got through. Sheldon frowned upon hearing his phone ring, and his voice was low and hoarse as he answered, “Who’s this?”
“It’s me.”
A cold and indifferent female voice suddenly rang.
Sheldon asked the question because he didn’t look at the caller ID when he answered the phone just now. Now that he heard a voice and recognized who it was, he was even a little surprised. He hesitated for a while and asked indifferently, “What’s up?”
Janet looked out the window expressionlessly. “I wanted to ask you something.”
Janet was straightforward; before Sheldon could even say ‘what is it’, she said, “What exactly was Melissa researching with the 1 billion that Corey gave her?”
