Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 645

Just after Edna got the boot, she watched, powerless, as not one, but two of her labs were slapped with notices for mandatory renovations. It felt like the sky was falling.

"Edna, what do we do now?" Sybil asked, panic lacing her voice as she reached for Edna.

Slater was freaking out, scratching his head like a monkey on speed.
