Diana’s pov

The hand holding the file trembles slightly.

I’m furious.

I can’t believe so many people got infected suddenly.

The only explanation is that William expanded the sale of Gummy Skull.

“You’re forcing me?” I glare at him.

“Where does that come from? I’m just earnestly pleading for you to develop a cure for these infected people,” William raises an eyebrow.

“You’re still pretending!”

I forcefully slam the file. Papers flutter and cover the floor.

William remains unfazed, even more confident.

“Say whatever you want,” he smiles, “Do you want to watch more people get infected, Diana? You’re kind–hearted; I know you can’t let this happen. So why not put aside your prejudices and collaborate with me?”

Put aside prejudices and collaborate with him, so he can profit from the cure and the

drug?

I snort.

“After today, I’m leaving the lab.”

“Going solo?” William asks, a mocking smile, “Diana, you’re being too unrealistic. You think you can produce enough cure in a short time? I have dozens of pharmaceutical companies under my name. Producing a batch of cure takes half a day. But you? What do you have? How will you accomplish this monumental task?”

“I have enough money, I can—”

“Diana, you’re not a child anymore. Why are you still so naive in your thinking?” William interrupts, “Don’t tell me silly things like starting your own pharmaceutical

company. Can you guess why I signed a business contract with Alpha Nathan? Do you think it’s because I can’t come up with the money?”

No.

I know the answer.

William partnered with Nathan not just because of his strong Pack Alpha status but also because Dark Moon Pack controls the largest medical equipment production base.
