Chapter 225 The Deal 

You know, new drugs always need test subjects, Kason explained, voice smooth as ever. These are all volunteers.” 

Volunteers

Sierra almost laughed out loud 

Kason actually had the nerve to say that with a straight face

We have signed agreements with all of them,he added. They willingly consented

Sierra raised an eyebrow. That’s all?” 

Kason smirked. More or less” 

He was lying

She could tell

Everything he had shown her so far was what he wanted her to seethe kind of research that, while unethical, could still be justified under the right circumstances

The real horrors were hidden elsewhere.. 

But where? This was the lowest level. There was no deeper floor

She frowned slightly, deep in thought

Something on your mind?” 

She hadn’t noticed Kason leaning in until his voice was practically against her ear

Sierra’s instincts kicked in

She immediately stepped back, hand twitching toward her pocketbut she stopped herself just in time

She met Kason’s gaze without hesitation and said, I was just thinkingMoney really can buy anything.” 

Kason blinked in surprise

Then he burst into laughter

That right! Money can even buy life itself!” 

His amusement faded slightly, and he sighed, shaking his head

I wasn’t lying before, you know. If you had agreed earlier, your grandmother could have been saved.” 

Sierra’s fingers curled

She lowered her gaze, voice even

It was her choice. Lrespected it.” 

You’re so damn stubborn.Kason shook his head. Then, suddenly, he grinned. “So? What do you think? Worth joining?” 

Sierra pretended to hesitate

Finally, she gave a small nod

Fine.” 

Kason’s grin widened

Chapter 225 The Deal 

Sierra tilted her head, lips curling slightly. I am interested in a new project.” 

Kason’s eyes darkened with excitement

For him, Sierra wasn’t just a person

She was an investment

Her talent was rare. If he could pull her into his world completely- 

Let’s head to my office to finalize things.” 

Just as they sat down, the phone on Kason’s desk rang

He picked it up, listening intently

As he did. Sierra noticed something

His expression changed

And twicetwicehis eyes flickered toward her

Her pulse quickened

Shane. That phone call had to be from Shane. 

Kason hung up without saying much

She didn’t ask

Instead, she leaned back in her chair and said, Before we continue. I have conditions.” 

Kason raised an eyebrow

“I get to pick my research focus. And I want fifty percent of the profits

Kason let out a short laugh

Fifty percent? Do you even know how much money we’re talking about?” 

He thought she was being greedy

But really- 

She was testing him

And the fact that he didn’t immediately agree told her something important

There was someone above him- 

Kason wasn’t the only one making decisions here

As she expected

Kason leaned back, looking her over with new scrutiny

He was still thinking about that phone call

The voice on the other end had been Shane’s

One sentence

Don’t contact me again.” 

Then, the call ended

Finished 

2/3 

Finished 

Chapter 225 The Deal 

Shane had been working with them for years

Why cut ties now! What had changed

His first suspicion had been Sierra

After all, she was the only new factor in this equation 

But now

Looking at the way she was fighting for a better deal

The way she was obsessed with profit

She didn’t seem like someone working against him

Just a ruthless businesswoman

Maybe. maybe he had been too paranoid

Kason exhaled

Fine,he said. “I can’t approve this on my own. I’ll need to discuss it.” 

Sierra smirked. Do it quickly.” 

She stood, ready to leave

Then she paused

Oh, one more thing,she said casually. That dog. I want it.” 

Kason looked at her, amused

Why?” 

Sierra’s lips curved

I’m curious. Let’s see if it really only stays loyal to its first owner

Kason’s grin returned

You’re full of surprises.But he didn’t refuse
