Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 401

Chapter 401 Scheme

Nicole’s heart seemed to quiver as she looked at the scene. Could it be that it really isn’t Pierre, and is Norman instead?

After thinking about it for a while with her lips pursed, she spoke again. “Hayden, try going along the same direction and see if you can help me find out if there is any connection between Norman and Pierre.”

The boy nodded upon hearing her request as his fingers flew across the keyboard.

As he searched for information, he commented, “Sure thing, but it is going to take some time, Mom. You can go and take a rest. I will let you know when I find something.”

Hayden had a focused gaze as he stared intently at the computer that didn’t look like it belonged to a child at all.

She felt somewhat emotional looking at her son’s serious appearance. She never would have thought that she had such a capable son.

At the same time, Pierre was starting to get agitated because of the rapid progress the research base has now achieved.

He quickly made a call, and it was answered by a low and matured voice that didn’t sound too pleased.

“Pierre? What are you calling me for?”

Pierre then jokingly replied, “I haven’t seen you in so long, Doctor Clancy. What’s the matter? Does getting a call from me annoy you?”

Norman was a man in his fifties. Even though he didn’t want to have anything to do with Pierre now, he had no choice but to keep his anger at bay as they had their hands on each other’s weaknesses.

“Just spill it. I don’t have so much time to be listening to you talk about anything unimportant,” Norman warned, his voice low.

Pierre chuckled upon hearing that, and he immediately got straight to the point.

“Do you remember who Nicole Anderson is?”

Norman froze when he heard the name. “Isn’t she White Nicholson’s disciple? What about her?”

Norman only joined hands with Pierre because the former was displeased with how White was appointed to be the next director at the hospital by the director who was retiring.

All he wanted was to smear White’s name so that he himself could legitimately become the director. Things had unfortunately taken an unexpected turn when White fell gravely ill from it, and died on the hospital bed.

This was a guilt that Norman would never be able to get over.

He had killed a fellow apprentice!

“Nicole is already researching drugs, and she is known to be White’s apprentice. If she really succeeds, White’s name will be made known to the public again. Don’t you think someone will be curious enough to try to find out how White was framed?”

Pierre’s tone was ominous as he uttered those words.

Even Norman’s gaze hardened after he heard Pierre speak.

Pierre wasn’t wrong. If the vaccine researched by Nicole turned out to be successful, it would definitely be a matter worthy of a national celebration. And if her reputation rose, they could only imagine what would happen when White’s story was dug out.
