Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1144
The Stench of the Dead
Janet smiled disdainfully before saying, “Are you hoping that he’ll come, Mr. Hills?”
“No.” At this moment, Corey clapped before continuing, “It’s a pity that he’ll not be able to witness such an event.”
After Corey clapped a few times, a bunch of people came from the basement. The people seemed to be soulless in their eyes and the way they walked was rather robotic. It was also hard to miss that some from the crowd had different degrees of ulcerations on parts of their bodies.
The moment she saw these people, she reacted immediately. Her fists were clenched tight as she stared coldly into Corey’s eyes.
Seeing that she finally showed a reaction, he began to laugh hysterically. “J’Adore, don’t you think it’s disgusting? Despite being the one who created the human virus, Melissa still couldn’t help but throw up at the sight of the infected people. The stench isn’t that bad here because of the vast space. Little did you know, the underground room was filled with the stench previously––the stench of the dead.”
Both Desire and Lara had killed before and had witnessed situations more bloody and gory than this. However, the dead bodies that they came across were fresh, unlike these controlled men that they were currently looking at. Besides that, they smelled like dead bodies. Frankly, they were very close to puking too.
Turning his attention back to Janet, Corey deepened his smirk. “J’Adore, Desire and Lara can’t take it anymore. You can drop the act already.”
Even after he said that, Janet continued to stare at him without budging. After maintaining eye contact for a while, she disdainfully commented, “Act? You really don’t know me well enough.”
Her unwavering eyes were so dark that they blended into the night. “Corey, do you know about the unmarked common graves? I used to train in that area. With less than a few hundred square meters, there were more than a hundred people. We spent ten days there. In the end, I was the only one left. Ten days was all it took for a freshly dead body to turn into one infested with maggots. However, I don’t think that’s scary. On the contrary, I think that’s a good thing because I am alive. If they were not lying on the ground back then, it would’ve been me instead. Therefore, I don’t fear that I may become your human experiment subject one day.”
After she said that, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Even Desire and Lara gave each other a look in shock. Though they have heard about Janet’s past after they joined the MX, it was still very heartfelt and impactful to hear it from herself. Her capabilities explained why she could compete with men to be at the top of the chain of power and influence as a woman.
Squinting her eyes for a brief moment, Emily threw Janet a disregarding look. “What’s the use of telling us that? In the end, you’re just a loser who’ll lose to me.” Janet came here to die today! I should just fulfill her wish!
“J’Adore, I’ve underestimated you.” At this moment, a cold and deep man’s voice could be heard coming from the front. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
At once, Janet’s gaze moved from the bunch of men who were being controlled to Corey, who now seemed rather agitated. She scoffed, “Don’t flatter yourself too much then.”
Corey’s expression turned even sourer when he heard her insult. Pursing his lips, he said, “J’Adore, aren’t you here for the antidote today? As long as you pledge your allegiance to me, not only will I hand you the antidote, I can even give you half of the virus.”
Hearing that, she could not help but smile coldly. “You’re wrong. I’m not here for your antidote today, but for the virus. I’m here to have all of them destroyed.” What was the use of just an antidote? To end it, all the viruses had to be eliminated.
Corey mimicked her cold smile before he replied, “Well, I’m afraid that I’m going to disappoint you. There’s only one strain of the virus left. The others had already been used on the human subjects. In the next 48 hours, I will admit defeat if I lose. However, if you lose, I get to personally inject the virus into your system––oh, scratch that. If you are detained here, Mason will come to rescue you. I will inject the virus into his body instead. You should know that the virus was designed specially for his physique. Thus, the effects must be even stronger when used on him.”
