Chapter 636

“Mr. Warren, Mr. Lancaster is looking for you,” the woman said as she handed the phone to Alex. He finally pulled his gaze away. Answering the call, Alex turned and walked away.

Ellie finally managed to calm Betty and looked around. The long hallway that was bustling just moments ago was now empty. A chill ran down her spine, causing Ellie to spin around.

A tall, slender figure flashed through the hallway. Ellie didn’t even have a chance to catch a glimpse of the man’s face before he disappeared. Alarmed, she quickly picked up Betty and left.

Back then, Haley teamed up with a group of criminals overseas to try and kill Orion and get that formula. Although the gang was eventually caught, the leader’s older brother stayed abroad, directing things behind the scenes, and was still not caught.

It was one of the reasons Ellie’s uncle insisted that Orion’s condition remain private until his cornea surgery successfully restored his sight. He wasn’t allowed to leave the special ward or return to the Warren Manor to recover.

Ellie had helped Orion flawlessly recreate the data set, and aside from Linda, she hadn’t even told Alex the details. However, she wasn’t sure if Haley had implicated her before she died.

Ellie thought, ‘Haley is a sneaky and vicious woman, and just thinking about her makes me furious. I need to prepare for the worst and be very careful in the future.‘

Ellie wasn’t strong. Betty was taller and heavier than most kids her age. Carrying Betty was tough, but Ellie wouldn’t put her down.

As Ellie jogged around the corner with Betty in her arms, they accidentally bumped into someone.
