A Replacement Bride

"Side effects? What side effects?" Jayden was stunned by what he heard. He then glared at Wale. "Why would there be a side effect?"

Wale stared back, speechless. It was evident he was dissatisfied with Jayden's reaction.

"Mr. Hall, while I am thankful for how much you are paying me, you are still too ignorant in terms of researching and developing drugs," Wale stated. "It was extremely impossible for me to research a drug that could brainwash a person in such a short amount of time. I was ordered to do so though, so I had no choice but to rush the process."

"We might have a drug now," he continued. "But to be honest, it has never been tested. I didn't even have time to conduct clinical trials. Hence, it is more unlikely for me to know what side effects there would be. However, all drugs are poisons to a certain extent, especially if the effects are strong. If the dosage is not strictly adhered to, there would be severe effects on the body. As for what those effects are, we would have to wait and see. I can't say for sure what will happen."

Wale was a chemist with high standards and was working with Jayden due to financial troubles.

However, that did not mean he fully agreed with Jayden's methods. For example, Jayden's unreasonable request had given him a serious dilemma.

Thus, Jayden's question clued him in on what likely happened. His face instantly twisted into an ugly look.

Jayden's face darkened considerably when he heard Wale's answer. It further deepened his impression of Shaun as a useless worker.

Still, what has happened, happened. There was no point talking about it any longer.

He spent a few more minutes pondering before calling Shaun back in.

"Where are Katherine and the others now? Have they left Kyoland?" he asked.

Shaun shook his head. "Not yet. Miss Cornell fainted, so Joaquin was unable to take her away from the city. They have been moved to one of David Blatt's villas."

David?

Jayden's eyes narrowed as an idea struck him.
