Chapter 49

Mabel’s hands trembled with fear as she spoke in a shaky voice. “Just now, Genevieve told me that a team from Prospectus Technology came over. They collected several fingerprints from the labels of dilute and concentrated sulfuric acid. They’re going to collect our fingerprints this afternoon to compare.”

Lucia’s gaze darkened as she gritted her teeth, staring at Mabel. “You fool! Didn’t you know you should wear gloves when you swapped the labels?”

“I… I was too panicked. I just forgot… and by the time I remembered, it was too late…” Mabel was on the verge of tears. “Lucia, what do I do… You have to help me…”

Lucia looked impatient. “How can I help you? Can I magically change another person’s fingerprints?”

When Nyla’s flask exploded during the experiment, Damon’s secretary immediately ordered the lab and adjacent reagent storage room to be sealed off. They never had a chance to wipe the fingerprints off the labels. Moreover, Lucia hadn’t expected Mabel to be so foolish as to leave such a glaring loophole.

“But I can’t lose this job. Otherwise, I won’t be able to afford my mom’s medical bills…”

Mabel was willing to do anything for Lucia to secure a job for her father so they could earn money for her mother’s medical expenses. If she lost the job, what would be the point of it all?

Seeing Mabel’s unstable emotions, Lucia knew she had to find a way to placate Mabel, or she would also be implicated.
