Chapter 474 - 417: Entering the Research Institute
Julian knew his son too well.
He was well aware of all the bad things George had done and how many problems he had fixed for him.
If he dared to call the police, Kevin could surely get George arrested.
But Kevin didn’t choose to send George to prison directly, instead, he left some room for Julian to do what he had to do.
So this matter could only be settled privately.
That’s also why Kevin dared to take George away so blatantly.
After searching for a day and night, Julian finally had no choice but to ask Nathan North for help, hoping he would intercede.
Nathan did talk to Kevin, who agreed very readily.
But then…the matter seemed to be dropped.
As if Nathan had never talked to Kevin at all.
Not until one day later, with Mrs. Maxwell constantly making a fuss at home, Julian ran out of options.
He learned that none of the Clark Family’s forces were involved.
Those who took George away and broke into the Maxwell Family were Kevin’s own people, completely unrelated to the Clark Family.
As a result, he had no clue where to find George.
Everyone knew that all this was because the Maxwell Family hadn’t signed the qualification letter for Daisy Zane to enter the Research Institute.
Julian even found out that the bar, where George was taken away, had been transferred to Kevin the same day.
But even with this knowledge, he was helpless since his son was in their hands.
The bar was just an excuse.
After dragging on for two days, Julian didn’t want to compromise.
If Clara Mitchell was taken to Mountain Sea Continent Prison, he wouldn’t let Daisy Zane off easily.
However, with George captured, Kevin wouldn’t possibly treat him well.
The best outcome would be to lock him up and ignore him.
But what if he got beaten?
Within the Maxwell Family, Julian had seen the power of Thomas Firway’s fist.
Could George’s body withstand Thomas’s punches?
So in the end, with no other choice, Julian signed the letter.
He went to the Research Institute early in the morning to sign it.
After the Maxwell Family signed, the two professors also signed. Daisy Zane’s enrollment in the Research Institute was quickly settled.
But because Julian had dragged it for two days, Kevin still waited for another day before letting someone send George back.
And he even sent a message: “Mr. Maxwell. It was out of consideration for Commander Clark that Third Master let George go. Please discipline your son properly, so that others won’t have to do it for you.”
Not mentioning the Research Institute matter.
It was as if Kevin was doing a favor for his brother, just saying he would release George, but not specifying when.
Your signing the letter is your business.
Capturing and releasing George is my business.
These two matters had nothing to do with each other, just a coincidence.
Julian was furious but had to swallow his anger temporarily.
As soon as Kevin’s men left, George started complaining.
Julian hurriedly untied the ropes around George, while Mrs. Maxwell saw the bruises and bloodstains on her son, she couldn’t help but cry while holding him.
While being held, George kept urging Julian to take revenge for him.
Furious, Julian slapped him.
Mrs. Maxwell said, “Why did you hit him! He’s already been beaten like this; don’t you feel sorry for him? How could you be a father?”
“It’s precisely because I didn’t hit him enough that he’s become like this!” Julian roared. “You’re utterly useless. If you had half the ability of your sister, we wouldn’t be in this situation now!”
George dared not speak after being slapped. He had been silent these few days, for fear of being beaten whenever he opened his mouth.
Mrs. Maxwell exclaimed, “What’s the point of saying these things now! All you do is yell at home! If you have the guts, go deal with Kevin Clark and Daisy Zane!”
“I won’t let them off,” Julian spat out these words and left.
Mrs. Maxwell checked the injuries on George’s body and took him to the hospital.
After Daisy Zane obtained her qualifications, she officially entered the Research Institute.
And she even had her own laboratory.
So… Daisy Zane ruthlessly abandoned Kevin Clark and went to her own laboratory.
Since then, Arthur North and William Lane have been leading their teams in researching Immortal.
Kevin Clark and Daisy Zane were leading their teams to decompose 319 separately.
Both of them were in the same Research Institute, even in the same building.
Yet they couldn’t see each other the whole day.
Because of different tasks, they couldn’t even find time to have lunch together.
Plus William Lane.
The three of them ended up having three different lunch times.
Kevin Clark was fine since he could see his wife when he went to bed at night.
Sometimes, William Lane wouldn’t be seen for several days in a row.
He began to doubt whether Charlotte Lane was really at the Research Institute. Their sibling relationship would not improve like this.
Days of repetitive work in the laboratory, and with slow research progress, time seemed to fly by.
In June, the College Entrance Exam approached.
On the eve of the entrance exam, Daisy Zane prepared bracelets for everyone in Senior Three Class Sixteen.
She designed them a long time ago.
Two different designs for boys and girls.
After she made the designs, she had a factory, which was specially responsible for production at Spotlight, spent nearly three months making them.
Both Skyler Thomas and the teachers of various subjects received them.
Daisy Zane didn’t show up, she let Anisa Cooper send them instead.
Following Daisy Zane’s instructions, Anisa Cooper said a few encouraging words to everyone.
Then she also said that the gift was not expensive, it was designed by Daisy Zane herself, mainly for the purpose of bringing good luck.
But it could be seen that high-quality jadeite was used, and the price was not cheap.
On the day of the College Entrance Exam, Daisy Zane finally put her experiment aside and saw Olivia Lane off.
Originally, the entire Lane Family wanted to send Olivia Lane off.
However, Olivia Lane felt a little embarrassed about her whole family coming to see her off for the exam at age 20.
So she turned them down.
Then she turned around and called Daisy Zane, asking her to see her off.
So, early in the morning on June 7th, both William Lane who insisted on coming and Daisy Zane who was invited, came to see Olivia Lane off together.
Kevin Clark originally wanted to come along too, but Daisy Zane refused as she was afraid that he might scare Olivia Lane and affect her performance during the exam.
Fearing to cause a disturbance at the entrance, Daisy Zane didn’t get out of the car when they arrived at the examination venue.
“Do your best,” Daisy Zane said, “I’ve reserved a banner for you. It will stretch from the school entrance to your front door.”
Olivia Lane pursed her lips: “I said I don’t want it.”
Daisy Zane smiled: “What do you want then?”
After thinking for a moment, Olivia Lane said, “If I become the City’s Top Scorer, you will grant me a wish.”
“Am I a genie lamp?”
Olivia Lane looked at her.
Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows: “Fine. I’m the genie lamp.”
William Lane watched the two from the driver’s seat.
Why did his younger sister seem to have a higher status than him? Even more than just a little bit.
“You promised that you would grant any wish.”
“Mmm.” Daisy Zane said, “Definitely. Even if you want a star, I’ll try to find a way to pick one for you.”
Olivia Lane smiled, hugged Daisy Zane, opened the car door, and got out, completely ignoring William Lane.
William Lane watched Olivia Lane walk towards the examination room without looking back, got out of the car, and chased after her.
Daisy Zane watched the two of them from inside the car, raising the corner of her mouth with a smile.
