Chapter 268 Chapter 268 Inside Bennetts labi , Noelle was still strapped into the testing chair .
Her fists clenched so tightly that the veins on the backs of her hands bulged beneath her pale skin .
She bit down hard on her bottom lip .
but despite her effort to stay silent , soft cries of pain still slipped out .
Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead , dripping in steady streams down her face and off her chin , pooling beneath the chair into a small puddle .
She had clearly been enduring this for a long time .
In the olpervation room above , the researchers watched in tense silence .
Many had turned their eyes away , unable to bear the sight of her suffering under the maximum neural load .
Bennetts expression had grown increasingly grim .
His usual easygoing smile was long gone , replaced by cold fury as he stared at his Finally , as Noelle began to tremble violently , Bennett couldnt take it anymore .
Thats enough he snapped , turning to Brandon .
Are y you trying to fry her brain ?! Brandon didnt even flincli .
He cast Bennett a sidelong glance and replied coolly .
If she cant handle this , hows she going to survive memory extraction ? That parts longer and even more intense . Youre in charge of this project , arent you , Mr.
Anderson ? Or did you think the funding for this was just for show ? Shes in pain ! Bennett growled through gritted teeth , Cant you see that ? Brandons eyes flicked toward the testing room .
This is nothing .
She can take it He said it with chilling calm , as if Noelles suffering was a trivial inconvenience .
But right then , Noelle let out a sharp cry of pain .
It echoed through the observation room .
Bennetts face changed .
He moved to shut down the systern .
You son of a shut it off , now ! But before he could reach the controls , Brandon moved .
In a flash , Bennett was slammed to the ground .
Brandon placed a firm boot on his chest , pressing down hard as he looked down at him with cold disdain .
Tve been patient with you , Brandon said , voice dangerously low .
Only because youre Noelles brother .
Dont push me .
Bennett gasped , struggling to breathe under the pressure .
His rilis felt like they were about to crack .
Brandons gaze was sharp lethal .
He had no intention of letting Bennett interfere .
Bennett stared back , fury burning in his eyes It was becoming clearer by the second Brandon was here to extract all of Noelles memories , and he was in a hurry .
Thats why he didnt care how much pain she was in .
He needed the data at any cost .
But why ? What was he planning to do with Noelles memories ? Eventually , Brandon stepped off , brushing imaginary dust from his hands and offering a tight lipped smile .
Bio second chances , Bennett Noelle lasted another half hour before she was finally removed from the chair .
Her body was completely drained she could barely stand Her usually rosy complexion had turned deathly pale .
The once energetic now looked like a wilted flower , completely sapped of life You dat amazing today , Norlie Brandon approached her gently hot it a still not enough , he added , smiling as he tucked a strand of ë¤ ë¤ Chapter 268 The pain shed endured today had made her feel like she was dying .
He really expected her to do even more tomorrow ? Of course , I believe in you , Brandon said warmly , ruffling her hair like she was a good student .
His tone was gentle , almost tender .
Lione was the Terrifying , ruthless man from the control room . With Noelle , he was nothing but soft and indulgent .
And that was the most Because Noelle knew no matter how sweet Brandon seemed , he belonged to the lab .
And she had been trained to obey , Even if her heart resisted , her body wouldnt ..
So , despite the dread swirling in her chest , she nodded obediently .
Okay ... I understand .
Brandon beamed .
Thats my good girl .
At the door , Bennett stood silently , watching the scene unfold .
Watching Brandon stroke her hair like nothing had happened .
Like he hadnt just pushed her to the brink .
And in that moment , Bennetts unease deepened .
Brandon wasnt just dangerous he was something else entirely .
And the longer he stayed in Noelles world , the more everyone was at risk .
