Chapter 155: Poaching Alexander Right in Front of Him
Before Juniper could even think, the lab door was pushed open, and Evander, the head of the entire lab, walked in with a group of people.
Evander looked around and let out a cold laugh.
"I just went out for a meeting, and things got pretty lively at home! Theron, Caius, you two are really something!"
As the head of Phoenix Lab, Evander carried a natural air of leadership and innate authority!
Behind him followed a group of police officers, who stepped forward and put handcuffs on Theron and Caius.
Evander's presence was commanding as he looked at everyone present.
"This incident is serious. I've contacted the investigation team from above. Everyone needs to put their experiments on hold for now and cooperate with the investigation. If there are any accomplices, I won't let them off!"
Evander was furious!
Something happened in his own lab, and he had to find out from another lab's report. During the meeting, while presenting research results, he clicked on the latest video without thinking.
The video content was seen by all the elites in the scientific community. Evander couldn't close it even if he wanted to, and could only watch helplessly as the video played to the end!
Now these two had become truly famous in the scientific community, achieving what all researchers dream of—being remembered forever, though only for infamy!
Phoenix Lab's reputation was completely ruined!
Evander watched as the two were taken away, his whole body radiating anger.
After arranging everything, Evander walked over to Juniper and patted her shoulder.
"You've been wronged. Rest well these next few days, and bring me to meet your sister."
Juniper looked wary.
"Evander, it doesn't matter that I was wronged, but why do you want to meet my sister? You're over fifty, don't tell me..."
Meeting Juniper's disgusted and suspicious gaze, as if he were something dirty.
Evander held back once, twice, but still couldn't resist slapping Juniper's shoulder.
"I've been too good to you, haven't I? What's wrong with me meeting my nephew's future wife? Stop overthinking!"
Evander pulled out his phone and showed Juniper a photo of himself and Felix.
In the photo, Alexander stood next to Evander, the family looking happy together, and if you looked closely, there was some resemblance in their features.
Juniper rubbed her shoulder, looking at the photo with her mouth wide open.
"Evander, I heard you're a rich man's son. So that rich man is Felix? Why are you doing research?"
Wouldn't it be better to go back and inherit the family business?
Is the Howard family not rich enough, or is doing research not hard enough, that Evander chose to do this?
Evander put away his phone and said meaningfully, "Aren't you also doing research?"
Juniper pouted, hiding her loneliness. "I'm different from you."
Realizing something, Juniper suddenly widened her eyes!
"Wait! Evander, don't tell me you're not biological either?"
"Of course I'm biological. I mean research is my dream. You wouldn't understand even if I explained. Just hurry up and take me to meet Catherine!"
Evander specifically gave the lab a holiday and rushed back from outside, wasn't it just to meet Catherine?
"Then come with me. But let's be clear, don't tell Catherine about what happened in the lab. I don't want her to worry about me."
Evander and Juniper walked out side by side, and he nodded when he heard this.
"But your grandmother knows, so the Windsor family definitely can't keep it hidden."
During the meeting, Grace was sitting right next to Evander. When the video came out, Grace's expression looked like she was about to charge in and destroy Phoenix Lab.
Thinking about that scene, Evander shivered!
Juniper scratched her head in frustration, starting to figure out how to explain things to her family, when she looked up and saw Catherine standing in front of the flower garden, talking on the phone.
Phoenix Lab's flower garden was also used for experiments, but during leisure time it was also a beautiful sight.
Catherine, wearing a light blue dress, stood in front of the brilliant flower garden, her hair tied back with a ribbon, her slender neck looking beautiful—absolutely stunning!
Catherine held her phone, hearing Alexander's deep, magnetic voice.
"When are you coming back? I miss you."
"In a few days."
"Should I come keep you company? The company doesn't have much going on lately."
"No need."
Just looking at the schedule Annie sent to her email, Catherine could imagine how crazy busy the Howard Group had been recently.
Acquiring three multinational corporations in a row—the financial assessment department probably hadn't rested in ages.
With that workload, he said he had nothing going on?
Then what about what Annie said about him not eating all day and being in meetings constantly?
Juniper walked up to Catherine and hugged her. "Catherine, have you been waiting long? Who are you talking to? Let me introduce you—this is our lab director, Evander Howard."
Catherine met Evander's gaze and nodded politely. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Juniper whisper in her ear.
"Evander seems to be Alexander's uncle. He said he wanted to meet you, and I thought he had other intentions toward you. After all, the Howard family people all don't look like good people. If you don't like Alexander, I'll pick someone better for you from the lab, though none of them are really good enough for you!"
Catherine's mouth twitched. She was about to remind Juniper when she heard Alexander's cold voice from the phone: "Juniper, trying to steal my girlfriend right in front of me makes you a good person?"
Juniper jumped back like she'd been electrocuted!
"Catherine, why didn't you tell me you were on the phone with Alexander?"
Catherine smiled helplessly at Juniper.
When she appeared at the lab, she had changed her voice slightly and switched to a different speaking style than usual, so Juniper probably didn't recognize her.
Catherine held the phone and spoke softly to Alexander.
"Sorry."
"It's okay. This isn't the first time your family has said things like this. I'll wait for them to accept me. Evander is indeed my uncle. If you run into any trouble there, you can go to him."
"Okay."
Alexander reluctantly hung up and picked up the CEO office intercom.
"Annie, get me information on all Phoenix Lab researchers, especially single male researchers!"
"What? Mr. Howard, have you changed the type you like? What about Catherine!"
Alexander rubbed his forehead speechlessly and said through gritted teeth, "Want to die? The company has an overseas project that still needs a manager."
"I'll send it to you right away! You must be investigating to make sure Catherine won't change her mind, right? Don't worry, your charm is unmatched! You and Catherine are a match made in heaven!"
"That's more like it."
Alexander looked at the documents beside him, feeling an itch in his heart.
Just hearing her voice made him unable to suppress the crazy longing in his heart. He wanted to see her as soon as possible.
On the other side.
Evander walked up to Catherine and smiled graciously. "Hello, Ms. Windsor. I'm Alexander's uncle. May I call you Catherine?"
"Yes, as you wish."
Facing Catherine, Evander had none of the oppressive presence he had as a lab leader. His face was full of cheerful smiles, afraid of scaring Catherine!
"I've given Juniper these few days off so she can spend time with you!"
"Thank you."
"You're welcome! If you encounter any problems in Tranquil County, you can come to me!"
Catherine agreed and watched as Evander left looking very pleased with himself.
This Catherine—he approved. Beautiful, graceful, and composed, she was a perfect match for Alexander!
Not to mention he'd just heard Alexander, who usually had a cold face, calling her with that voice. It seemed Alexander had completely fallen for her.
