Chapter 1215

“Senior Stewart,” Jim addressed Shiloh that day.

Shiloh waved his hands.

“Your knowledge in the use of drugs has surpassed mine, and your research and development skills all the more so. I heard you have shares in many pharmaceutical companies. Me, I haven’t done much over the years. I’m not worthy for you to address me as your senior.”

Jim ignored Shiloh, and continued addressing him as Senior Stewart regardless. Strange.

This man disregarded Shiloh’s words, but it didn’t anger Shiloh at all. Rather, he didn’t dare to be angry.

The Hughes family was of an extraordinary presence in the medical field.

Incense made of medicinal herbs was lit outdoors in the courtyard and in the living room, for the purposes of repelling insects and awakening the senses during summer. It also served to eliminate anti-

bacteria and toxins during winter.

The same incense was also lit in the study.

Shiloh couldn’t tell which specific medicinal herbs were in the incense. To him, burning these herbs into the air was equivalent to poisoning it.

Jim didn’t wear a mask, yet he looked perfectly fine. That proved he probably added something else in the incense that even Shiloh couldn’t identify. It was probably some unknown drug that could eliminate the toxicity of the other herbs.

Shiloh had to admit, Jim was indeed superb in his research in medicinal herbs.

Shiloh strongly believed that Jim had the ability to kill someone without leaving any traces. Thus, he didn’t dare offend Jim.

Even though Jim didn’t look displeased, Shiloh subconsciously wanted to please him.

“Hmm”

Since Jim was willing to address Shiloh as his senior, then so be it.

“I’ve seen the drugs you’ve made in Richburgh. The foundational components were put together by your father, and there were ingredients that could suppress a person’s entire memory. I was certain it was a drug of your making. To avoid others suspecting you, I concocted an antidote on the basis of your drug.”

“I know,” Jim said indifferently. “It’s precisely for this matter that I called you over.”

Till today, Shiloh couldn’t quite recall what Jim subsequently told him. He could only remember his hair standing on end when Jim explained everything to him. He never expected Jim to be so obsessed with the medical field.

To the point of…

Sacrificing the lives of many, for the sake of his research.

“Diana is my most successful piece of work,” Jim said to Shiloh by way of warning. “Senior Stewart, please don’t interfere with anything involving her from now on.”

Shiloh couldn’t figure out what Jim meant by Diana being his “most successful piece of work”.

Today, as his daughter was pulling him into the plane, insisting for him to get in, Shiloh belatedly realized what it meant.

It was precisely because he finally understood it that he didn’t want to interfere in anything involving Diana.

“Whatever it is, I’m not going!” he yelled at Kiki. ‘You’re not allowed to go, too! We’ll just stay in Jacroaof for now. Neither of us needs to rush back to Richburgh!”

Kiki was unexpectedly cooperative. “Fine. Then set me up on a date with Jim Hughes.”

Having met Jim, Kiki found him the only other man who could compare to Julian.

Since she couldn’t be with Julian, she could accept being with Jim as an alternative.

Shiloh was greatly tormented by Kiki’s idea.

“I’d rather you continue being obsessed with Julian. Continue clinging onto him as much as you pleased.

Just don’t think about getting involved with Jim Hughes.”

Getting involved with Julian would, at worst, result in moral condemnation. Getting involved with Jim was equivalent to death!

Meanwhile…

“Professor Hughes, you’re such a nice man,” Diana said, utterly grateful to him. This man had been helping her the moment they met at the Jarvises’ residence
