Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1486 Threatened To Reveal the Truth

Olivia felt a pang in her heart and shouted in panic and anxiety, "Joseph, stop. Please stop them."

She ran toward the children like a mad woman, but before she could take two steps, Joseph grabbed her and looked at her with sinister eyes, saying, "This is the price you have to pay for being dishonest."

Olivia struggled, cursing, "Joseph Lee, I'm going to kill you!"

Joseph sneered. "You better behave yourself. Otherwise, both you and your son will die before I do."

With reddened eyes, she looked apologetically at the three children on the ground and silently moved her lips, saying, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

It was not her intention to challenge Joseph's patience. However, she couldn't make the decision for her master.

If she told Joseph, it would be equivalent to exposing her master's research. Then, his lifelong efforts would go to waste, and he might be forced to give up this technology.

Also, he might even be threatened to work for others.

Most importantly, that said research wasn't considered successful. If others found out that the Rogers siblings were the only successful ones, the children might also be in danger, but what would she do if she refused to speak?

Joseph was not so easily fooled.

He might put the children through the life or death trial if pushed to the limit.

She looked at the children for a while, then thought about her master.

In the end, she compromised. Presumably, her master wouldn't want to see the three children in danger either.

She reluctantly replied, "Yes, all three are conceived through advanced technology."

Joseph asked again, "What is needed for advanced technology conception? How many months did it take for them to be born? What is the difference between them and children conceived naturally?"

Olivia looked at the three children again and saw Carter and Terry looking at her in shock.

Forcing herself to look away, she explained, "There shouldn't be any difference; they are all equally intelligent. As for how many months it takes to conceive successfully, I'm not sure, but it definitely takes less time than natural conception." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Joseph leaned forward slightly, showing great interest in Olivia's words. "Does that mean anyone can do it?"

Olivia was surprised by his question. Does he want to do this experiment himself? What? Joseph Lee, the man who cares about nothing, actually wants his own child? Who does he want to have a child with? Does he have someone he loves?

She deliberately tested him by asking, "Are you saying you want to do it? Why don't you just find a woman to give birth to your child? There should be plenty of women willing to have children for you."

However, Joseph suddenly got angry and said, "Mind your own business."

Olivia was speechless. Why can't he speak politely?

"In theory, that is possible, but my master said that this technology has yet to be perfected and cannot guarantee a successful conception every time. It would be better if you brought my master here. He can explain to you more clearly."

Joseph thought for a moment and ordered, "Bring that old man here."

Soon, Hector was brought over.

He was fine, just tied up but not gagged. However, he looked exhausted, clearly having gone through a lot.

Olivia felt sorry for him and quickly stood up. "Master."

Hector comforted her, "It's okay. I'm fine."

Joseph asked, "Olivia says your research hasn't been successful. What is the problem?"

Hector looked at Olivia as if asking whether she had told Joseph.

Feeling sorry, she bowed her head and didn't even dare to look at Hector.

Joseph used her children to threaten her into telling him.

"I'm sorry, Master."

Hector knew that Olivia had no choice but to compromise and sighed helplessly. "It's fine. At least I don't have to worry about it every day."
