The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 834

"Turns out, the folks visiting the hospital looking for the professor were Harrison's crew?"

"I smell a juicy story brewing. Spill the beans, upstairs."

Publicly, he's a respected figure at Elite University, but secretly, he's involved in national science projects and always guarded.

Harrison attempting a kidnapping? That's practically asking for a swift arrest!
