The Queen They Buried

Chapter 512

“Is everything you said true?” Carmen was so excited she nearly shouted.

Casper had come directly to the Wilson Group to find her.

Carmen looked around nervously, then went back and locked the office door before continuing to ask, “You mean the key to Daxton’s drug research lies with that researcher of his?”

Casper replied, “Yes! That’s what Aubree said. All of Daxton’s lab research plans are archived, and there must be handwritten notes from that researcher.”

‘Carmen, I could lie to anyone but never to you!”

Indeed, Casper was a fool, a dog she could summon or dismiss at will. There was no way he’d lie to her.

Carmen already believed about eighty percent of it. On the surface, she looked hesitant and said worriedly, “Casper, I know you want to help me, and I appreciate you telling me this. But this is too important. Let’s just pretend I never heard it.”

Casper panicked. If Daxton hadn’t disliked him, he wouldn’t have come to tell Carmen in the first place. And now Carmen wasn’t even grateful.

Carmen, our family and Daxton already collaborate. You telling him would only strengthen the partnership. How would it harm our family? This is just preventing Aubree from reaping an unearned benefit.” He tried to persuade her.

Carmen put on a conflicted look and, after hesitating for a while under his repeated persuasion, finally nodded. “Okay, I’ll tell Daxton. But I can’t promise what he’ll do with the information.”

Casper breathed a sigh of relief. In his excitement, he stepped forward and grabbed her hands.

A flicker of disgust flashed in Carmen’s eyes, but she quickly masked it with a shy smile as she pulled her hands away. “Casper, you should go now. I’m still at work.”

Casper asked, “Okay. I’ll pick you up for dinner tonight. How about that?”

She replied, “I have to see Daxton tonight… maybe another time.”

Although a bit disappointed, Casper cheered himself up again, thinking Carmen was just trying to be better for the future. “Alright.”
