Chapter 177 Insatiable Greed

Someone displayed an expression of discontent, seemingly dissatisfied with Calista’s domineering attitude.

However, before they could speak, Calista sneered, “It seems you’re quite unsatisfied. When you arrived. you had already reaped all the benefits. Hence, you are essentially assistants hired by the Fairchild family for me. Helping me research K Virus is part of your job. Why should I share a slice of the pie with you?

If he contracted K Virus, he didn’t believe Calista would have any way to prolong his life. If that life–prolonging method was flawless, Calista wouldn’t be so desperate, taking risks to go to Corleon. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Seeing that they had finally started to behave, Calista let out a huff, not continuing any further. However, Wayne was no longer of any use. In his current state, even if he had a change of heart and wanted to follow, Calista wouldn’t allow him to
