FreeNovelChapter 723 oo i Michael was looking displeased as he stood outside of the room. But all his words got stuck in his throat when he saw that | was looking worse to wear.
After a while, he said, "This place has already been exposed. You might want to consider moving to another place." "Genome Society's informers are everywhere in this city. We'll still get caught sooner or later even if we leave, "| calmly said as | walked out.
Michael caught up with me, clearly anxious. "Are we going to sit here and do nothing, then?" "Do nothing?" | scoffed. 'Only fools would think that we'd sit here and do nothing." Michael was clearly irritated by my sarcastic comments. He had never been a person with a good temper. He would've lost it early on if he were talking to the "Stephanie" from before.
But the tables had turned now. He remained quiet even if he was fuming, knowing full well that | could easily kill him. If | didn't succeed the first time, I'd make sure to get it done the second.

"You're a businessman. You've been managing the Ford Group well over the years, and Miguel's business acumen and genes have really shown through your work." | looked at Michael as | leaned against the wall.
"Now that Steven and | are already exposed, and you've intervened when Genome Society wanted to take us away... How about we use this opportunity to strike a deal with the mastermind behind Genome Society?" | asked, looking at him. "Steven and | can be your bargaining chips." Michael could take the opportunity to approach the mastermind, pretending to strike a deal. Our goal was to expose their true intentions so that we could find a countermeasure against them.
Genome Society was now in a desperate bid for survival. They couldn't care about their other projects and laboratories anymore-they just wanted to capture Steven and me to get their hands on the results of the reincarnation project.
With that, they could regain their wealth and even shift the social order.
That was why they would definitely be willing to meet Michael for talks. It would all depend on whether he had the guts to follow through.
"Stephanie," he gritted out. "You really want me dead, don't you?" Of course, all collaboration carried risks. Michael would be playing with fire.
By pretending to be swayed by money and power, he would be putting himself in danger as he negotiated with the mastermind. They might kill him on the spot if they did not trust him.
| raised my brows and asked, "Are you scared? Are you calling it quits now?"
Michael gritted his teeth. "You're really.. oo This was supposed to be Steven's job. He realized that | had been anxious when Steven was doing something so dangerous, yet | was now encouraging Michael to do it.

"You're being way too obvious about your favoritism," Michael said, angrily averting his gaze.
"Aren't you stating the obvious?" | chuckled coldly. Who else would | play favoritism on if not my own husband? I said, "I'll just get someone else to go if you're scared. Just admit it if you're scared. Stop toughing it out if you can't do it." Although | was provoking him, Michael was a prideful person. The reason he was attentive to Yasmin back then also had something to do with those around him who had egged him on.
His expression darkened from my provocation. He said, "We'll be in trouble if we don't deal with Genome Society." He was right. We were all in the same boat now we would be in danger anytime if we didn't deal with their mastermind.
"But how am | supposed to meet the mastermind of Genome Society?" Michael asked, frowning.
Even if Sarah was released after 48 hours due to lack of evidence, how was he supposed to meet the person backing her up when she couldn't even meet them herself? "There's someone..." | gave it some thought before continuing. "Him taking over a laboratory in the desolate area means that he has already passed Genome Society's test. This person is very ambitious, and that's why the mastermind chose him." "You're talking about..." Clearly, Michael still did not figure out who it was.
