Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 836

Dr. Stone kept a cool demeanor, explaining with a straight face, "Alex, take it easy. This isn't your run-of-the-mill hypnosis. We're trying to embed new information into Mr. Everett's mind. But since he's pretty headstrong, he doesn't get influenced that easily. His brain needs time to gradually process the new data, which is why it's taking a bit longer."

Most of the technical stuff went over Alex's head, but she wasn't about to back down. She replied with a steely tone, "Don't try to sidestep me with that talk.
