Chapter 110
In the underground parking, Zane opened the rear door, and Vincent got in the back seat.
When Nancy was about to sit next to Vincent, she saw him take off his suit jacket and put it on the seat next to him.
Nancy knew what he meant. Vincent didn’t want her to sit there.
She had no choice but to close the rear door and sit in the passenger seat.
Along the way, Nancy tried to find a topic to talk about, but Vincent always responded brielly. He even took out his laptop and started typing.
Nancy felt defeated. She hated Stephanie even more, especially when Nancy learned that Vincent was in a wheelchair because he had saved Stephanie.
She clutched her handbag and thought, I can’t believe a high and mighty man like Vincent would be such a hopeless romantic for a woman. He even risked his own life to save her. Stephanie doesn’t deserve that! I must succeed tonight.”
Thomas Gresley of Gresley Group hosted the evening’s social gathering. After all, it was his dream to work with Fletcher Group. He would still make billions of dollars even if he only got thirty percent.
When Thomas saw Vincent enter the private room, he immediately ushered the latter to the place of honor
Zane sat next to Vincent, so Nancy had to sit next to Zane. She couldn’t move for a while with someone between Vincent and her.
Nancy didn’t know when she would have another chance like that, as the social gathering was about to end.
She “accidentally” spilled the red wine on Zane’s suit pants and also on her own dress
She helped Zane wipe the red wine w
with a tissue and apologized, “Sorry, Mr. Quinlan. I didn’t mean it.”
Since there were a lot of wet spots, Zane stood up and said, “Excuse me, I’ll take care of this in the restroom.”
Nancy also got up and said, “Excuse me. I have to go, too.”
Zane and Nancy left the private room, one after another Since the men’s and women’s restrooms were opposite, Zane turned left, and Nancy turned
right.
Once in the restroom, Nancy took a vial from her handbag and poured out the liquid. Upon closer inspection, a transparent parasite wriggled inside.
She took a deep breath, clenched her hands, and walked out quickly.
When she returned to the private room, Zane hadn’t returned yet.
She deliberately spilled more red wine to keep Zane occupied longer so she could do something
She took Vincent’s glass, and with a slight loosening of her grip, the parasite had fallen into the cup without anyone noticing.
Since it was transparent, no one could notice it unless they observed it up close.
She poured the red wine into the glass and then another for Thomas.
Her actions seemed appropriate.
Thomas raised his glass and said, “Mr. Fletcher, I’d like to propose a toast. I hope we can cooperate more in the future.”

Vincent gently agreed after glancing at the red wine Nancy had poured.
He picked up the glass, but it slipped from his hand, crashing to the ground.
Nancy was startled. She subconsciously reached out her hand to search for the parasite, but her movement caught Vincent’s deep eyes.
“Just get an attendant to clean it up,” Vincent said.
Nancy forced a smile before saying, “Okay,” sensing that Vincent had figured something out.
Just then, Zane entered the private room and saw Nancy’s pale face. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
“The glass is broken. I’ll ask an attendant to clean it up,” Nancy replied, forcing a smile.
Zane nodded and said, “Please sit. I’ll informed them.”
He turned back and said a few words to the attendant outside the room, then returned.
As Zane approached the broken glass, Nancy stopped and warned him, “Be careful”
Zane felt she was overreacting, but he stepped aside without thinking
The attendant tidied up and threw the broken glass in the trash. Nancy then noticed a wriggling bright red object. The parasite’s color had changed, possibly from absorbing the red wine.
She picked up the parasite and held it in her palm, not daring to let go until the social gathering was over.
The parasite wriggled in her palm, making her uncomfortable.
While sending Nancy home, Vincent said indifferently, “I’m treating you well for your father’s sake, but I hope you won’t misbehave, Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
ན
Nancy knew Vincent was hinting at her, but not stating it explicitly was her greatest mercy.
However, she still wanted to defend herself by saying, “When I worked for Skull Corps, I never thought of betraying you. Never!”
Vincent said coldly, “Even if you don’t betray me, it doesn’t mean you are loyal to me. It’s just that once the core technology is sold out, not only me but also Storm Corps will know that you did it. At that time, you will be Storm Corps’ public enemy, Nancy, sometimes words sound nice, but not everyone is fooled by them. You’re just paving a way out for yourself with your so-called non-betrayal.”
Nancy pursed her lips as she was poked at her sore spot, “Believe it or not, I won’t betray you even if my life is in danger,” she defended.
Vincent chuckled and scoffed, “Really? Then what were you planning to do tonight? Trying to control me with a parasite is not a wise move.”
He couldn’t stand her hypocrisy, so he exposed her. “Leave Jacaster as of tomorrow,” he ordered.
Nancy turned to him and asked in disbelief, “You want me to leave?”
“Yes,” he replied.
“I never intended to use a parasite on you. That’s just your assumption. You’re just worried Stephanie might misunderstand our relationship, so you’re trying every trick in the book to get me to leave. You promised my father you’d take care of me. Have you forgotten how my father died miserably? Now you’re going to break your promise for a woman and an unfounded assumption,” she said.
Vincent looked at her coldly and said, “That night, Mr. Zachmann gave Stephie a wooden box containing the king parasite. Its restlessness was due to

parasites already inside your body. Why are you harboring parasites? Isn’t there one in your palm right now?”
82%
Nancy’s lips and hands trembled as she said, “No matter what I say now,
won’t believe me. Fl resign tomorrow. Please stop the car, Mr. Quinlan”
Zane looked at Vincent through the rearview mirror, and the latter’s silence meant acquiescence.
Zane pulled over and Nancy quickly got out of the car.
The car drove away as soon as the door was closed.
As Nancy watched the taillights disappear around the corner, her resentment grew. She thought, “My father has sacrificed his life for Vincent. But now Vincent repays his kindness with enmity and falls in love with another woman. This is too cruel for me.
She clenched her fist gradually. The parasite struggled because she clenched it too tightly, and her heart ached.
The mother parasite was in her heart, and the child parasite was in her palm. It was a pair of concentric parasites.
If one parasite died, the other would die as well. Therefore, she had to take the child parasite.
If a parasite planted in a person’s body died, the host would also die.
As long as it was planted in Vincent’s body, he would fall in love with her wholeheartedly and live and die with her.
It would be futile to try to counter it with a king parasite. Concentric parasites were notoriously difficult to remove unless one consulted the most skilled parasite trainer. Unfortunately, that parasite trainer was already deceased.
Vincent thought Nancy was only trying to bewitch him with a normal parasite, not knowing it was a concentric parasite.
He would be hers as long as she found an opportunity to bewitch him.
