Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 526

Chapter 526 Ruby’s smile widened as she thought, ‘The fish has taken the bait. Troy is just as predictable as ! expected.‘ However, as the grin lingered, a sudden itch below made her uncomfortable, dampening her excitement.

Her mood instantly darkened as she wondered if that disease was coming back again.

Meanwhile, Troy’s car sped out of the Rhodes Corporation parking garage, rushing toward its destination. Andrew and Lauren, already in their SUV quickly followed.

“Dr. Lloyd, just as you predicted–Troy leaving work during office hours is definitely suspicious,” Lauren said with a cold smirk.

Andrew, keeping his eyes on the road, replied, “A spy like Ruby will always look for the easiest way to infiltrate a company, and her best target is someone she can easily manipulate from the inside. Since she’s already slept with Troy, it’s no surprise she’s using him as her pawn.”

Lauren frowned. “Dr. Lloyd, you mentioned earlier that both Troy and Ruby have the same foul smell. What exactly did you mean by that?”

Andrew explained casually, “Yes, both of them carry a distinctive odor, which is associated with a specific type of sexually transmitted disease.”

Lauren stared at him, wide–eyed. “A sexually transmitted disease? You can actually smell that?”

Andrew nodded calmly. “Humans can typically distinguish around 4,000 scents, but professionals like chefs or perfumers can identify tens of thousands. As for me, I’ve trained to recognize not only ordinary smells but also those of medicines, toxins, and diseases. The scent on Ruby and Troy falls into the category of pathological odors–it’s not hard for me to detect.”

Lauren shook her head in astonishment but did not doubt him for a second. She was well aware of how extraordinary Andrew’s medical skills were.

As they tailed Troy, the car eventually stopped in front of a hotel. After parking, Lauren glanced at the building and chuckled. “Troy really does seem to think hotels are great places for… business negotiations.”
