Chapter 531
Before long, Benedict woke up. After inhaling too much aphrodisiac, his eyes were bloodshot, and he lost all reason, lunging at Alice like a wild beast.
“Go away… Ah… Go away!”
Yvette left the hotel and received a call from Barnabus.
“Yvie, you haven’t come to the research institute lately. I’ve missed you!”
Yvette blinked and exposed him without hesitation. “Mr. Zabel, what you miss is my money.”
Barnabus‘ intentions were revealed, and he coughed awkwardly in embarrassment. “Yvie, what are you talking about? Of course, I miss you! It’s just that I’m also thinking about the money in your pocket!”
She knew it!
Yvette clicked her tongue. “So, how much do you want this time?”
On the other end of the line, Barnabus took on a more flattering tone as he said, “Yvie, don’t worry! This time, I only need eight billion! You can’t go wrong with eight billion!”
- Yvette went silent.
Barnabus continued, “Yvie, I’m being very careful with the budget. I’m not asking for more at all! Developing chips is no easy task!”
Yvette rubbed her forehead in exasperation. “Mr. Zabel, why don’t you just rob a bank?”
“Oh, Yvie, don’t say that! There’s no bank that has more money than you!”
Even with all her wealth, it would still bleed her dry!
Yvette sighed in resignation, but she couldn’t let the research stop. She immediately transferred the eight billion dollars.
As soon as he received the money, Barnabus‘ face lit up with joy.
“Yvie, you’re so generous! I have to go work on the research now. Let’s have a meal together when I have time!”
With this group of money–hungry beasts to feed, if she didn’t work hard to earn money, she really wouldn’t survive!
Yvette lowered her eyes, contemplating for a moment before dialing Jake’s number. The call was instantly connected.

“Boss, what’s up?”
“Tell them I’ve accepted their project,” Yvette said coolly. “But the consultation time will be set by me.”
She needed to resolve the hacker invasion issue at the base camp first before she could find the time to head to Yenosha.
Jake said, “Got it, boss! I’ll reply to them right away!”
At the research institute, Barnabus stared at the bank transfer notification. He finally relaxed his tightly furrowed brow and let out a long sigh of relief.
It was fortunate that he had Yvette. With this money, they could continue the research.
Barnabus turned and walked into the laboratory, where he received a video call from Ian.
“Sir,” Ian said respectfully.
Barnabus nodded. “Hmm, the experiments over there have been completed, right? When are you coming back to Jubilife?”
“I’ve already booked the flight for the day after tomorrow.”
Barnabus‘ face instantly lit up with joy. “That’s wonderful! When you return, with you and Yvie, the chip development experiments will surely go much smoother! Both of you are my most capable assistants, and I can’t do without either of you!”
Upon hearing this, Ian couldn’t help but recall that arrogant and conceited young woman from before, and he frowned.
He still remembered how arrogant she had been; once he returned to Jubilife, he must teach her a lesson to curb her arrogance!
Then, he thought about how he would see his little sister once he returned home the day after tomorrow. A rare hint of nervousness crossed Ian’s cold features.
He hoped his sister would like him.
