Chapter 745
Carol would naturally think of ways to get Simeon out of trouble-she only wanted Steven to make his stand clear.
Upset at Steven, I walked out of the room to clear my head.
"Hello, Mrs. Lincoln," Ewan greeted me politely when he saw me.
I glanced at him. I felt less hostility toward him knowing that he was someone Steven had planted in the Rebels. "Carol is a lunatic. You all need to prepare for that."
Genome Society was making its final push, and so was the Rebels.
Carol was too full of herself. Without Simeon around, Genome Society might completely eradicate the Rebels next. There was even the possibility that there were people from Genome Society within the Rebels itself. "Now that they've captured Joel, they shouldn't be bothering the Rebels for now. Instead, they'll likely use him to threaten Carol," Ewan speculated.
Most people would think that Genome Society would surely hold back and threaten them using their leverage. But would they act according to what most people would think?
Perhaps they might just do the opposite. They might attack when the Rebels had let their guard down while focused on rescuing Joel.

"Get Carol to strengthen the security here and set up surveillance within a one-mile radius from the orphanage. Any suspicious cars that show up should be tracked and investigated. "I requested Ewan to remind Carol.
"You're not the one in charge here." Carol walked out with a mocking smile. 'You don't really think you're that smart, do you? You're just a genetically edited experimental subject who's no different from those lab dogs and white mice in the laboratory."
I gripped my hands tight and coldly glared at Carol. I resisted the urge to hit her.
"Everyone, Sarah will be released by the police due to lack of evidence tonight. Since they took my men, I'll take theirs as well." She chuckled coldly.
She was planning to take Sarah.
I frowned. If everyone were to go for Sarah tonight, the entire base would be left open.
"You'd better keep an eye on the base, Carol. What if I was about to say that Genome Society might barge in, but she refused to listen to me.
I was annoyed. I wouldn't have cared less if it weren't for Steven being here.
Ewan stopped me and shook his head.
He was also aware that Carol was a lunatic. Someone like her could do just anything, and he stopped me from provoking her
I took a deep breath and reeled in my urge to kill. I angrily returned to the room and saw Steven, who was still calculating formulas. "Stop calculating!"
Genome Society would barge in sooner or later.
Steven was scolded for no reason and looked at me pitifully. I gritted my teeth and returned his notebook to him.
He reached out to tug at my finger. "Don't be upset, Stephie."
When he saw that I was still fuming, he softly said, 'She isn't as smart as you, and she's too full of herself. She deserves it if she loses out to Genome Society."
I felt my anger dissipating slightly when I heard Steven praising me.
I huffed and looked at him. "I wouldn't have cared about her if you weren't here!'
Steven chuckled and pulled me closer. "Just let nature take its course, Stephie.'
I sighed. I shouldn't have gotten angry over something I had no control over and taken it out on him. Instead, I should be cherishing every moment we had together.
I reached out to cup Steven's cheeks and pressed a kiss on him. "Alright. I'm staying by your side no matter what happens."
I would go with him even if he was taken away by Genome Society. We would face everything together, thick or thin.
Steven pressed me closer to deepen the kiss. "Is this considered you giving me a carrot after the stick, Stephie?'
