Meeting You Was Fate

"You don't have to pretend to be innocent. Adrian is just a child. He's only four years old. How could you have the conscience to
kill him? I never expected that you'd be such a vicious woman. What did you promise me before? You said you wouldn't hurt
Mandy!" Colin emphasized his every word. While his handsome face looked to be in a daze, he gritted his teeth.
"What? Don't you think you're being delusional? What did I even do to Adrian?" Eve could not help but curl her lips. The
expression in her eyes turned cold, while she refused to admit anything.
Even if Colin was indeed her ally, she couldn't tell him anything. The less people who knew it was she who injected the bacteria
to Adrian, the better. The more people knew about it, the more likely that her secret would be exposed.
Eve thought, for certain, she didn't need to worry about Bonnie and Jennifer because they would never betray her. As for Doctor
Ouyang: Eve had told him that he only needed to worry about developing the bacteria. How the bacteria would be used or who it
would be used for was none of his business.
For about three years, Ouyang had been working on the bacteria named 830. He himself didn't have an antidote for it.
Eve believed that no one in the world could produce the antidote. Because it was Doctor Ouyang who said that after the bacteria
had entered a human's body, it would take a long time before the symptoms would show up. By then, the bacteria had already
multiplied, and it had already entered the bone marrow. If an antidote were to be used, the bone marrow had to be extracted.
How painful it would be for Adrian! He was only a little kid. Could a young boy like him be able to take the pain? Moreover, he
would probably die if they were to extract his marrow a few times!
"Stop playing dumb, you crazy woman! Do you really think you can fool me?" Colin stood up and took large and heavy steps
towards Eve. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and gripped it so hard. It was like he wanted to crush her bones.
In terms of physical strength, Eve was certainly not a match for Colin. No matter how powerful a woman was, biology and years
of evolution had dictated that she would not compare to a man.
"Colin! Let go of me! You're killing me! If you don't take your hands off me right now, I'll call the police!" Eve held her breath.
Colin's grip on her wrist was so tight that she felt like her bones were going to break. It had only been a minute, but her arm was
already starting to feel numb from his grip.
"Call the police? Fine! Do it right now!" It seemed like Colin was becoming insane. He shook off Eve's arm and stared at her with
a ferocious expression on his face.

The atmosphere in the living room became tensed in an instant. Colin was so enraged that he wanted to strangle Eve.
Since yesterday afternoon, Colin had assigned someone to keep an eye on Mandy. He felt that there was something very
strange about her. Since she came to JR Hospital, Mandy hadn't come out yet. He asked someone to investigate her
whereabouts and was informed that Adrian had been injected with bacteria and was hospitalized.
When he heard that, he was very surprised. Who would be so cruel as to deliberately inject a child with a bacteria that could
potentially kill him?
After thinking about it for a while, Colin believed that Eve was the most likely culprit. That morning, he immediately came over.
In fact, Colin was at odds with the current situation. He was well aware that he didn't have to be involved. If someone were to
look at it from another perspective, it would even be considered as a piece of good news for him. If Adrian were to die, then
Mandy and Nathan could have a chance to really separate. Because even if they no longer had a romantic connection, Adrian
would always connect and intertwine their lives.
But after a second thought, Colin knew he just couldn't do it. He wouldn't be able to witness as Mandy suffer the loss of a child.
So, he decided to find out the truth.
"Humph... Do you think I wouldn't dare to call the police?" Eve was so enraged that she trembled while speaking. She stared at
Colin with fire in her eyes. She didn't expect that Colin would be so intense when it comes to his love interest.
"If you want to call the police, then do it. Let's die together, Eve!" Colin exclaimed, looking fearless and ruthless. For the first time
that day, it actually made Eve a little scared.
"You're a lunatic!" Eve sneered and raised the corners of her mouth, forming a wicked laugh. However, she didn't know if she
was laughing at Colin or at herself.
"If I'm a lunatic, then how about you?" Eve's words completely enraged Colin. He retorted, "I didn't expect that you would be so
cruel. Whatever deal we have, it's over now! I won't listen to you anymore! I will never allow you to take advantage of me ever
again!"
The expression on Eve's face immediately froze. She scoffed before asking, "Colin, Colin, why would you do that? If you
terminate your alliance with me, you will never be able to get Mandy. If you don't play dirty, how can you get her? You're
dreaming if you think you can simply charm her!"

"Oh, I'll make her fall in love with me. But that's my own problem now. I will never allow you to hurt her. I will expose every vile
thing that you have ever done." Raging flames were burning in his eyes while he glared at Eve.
However, Eve only laughed extremely loudly and folded her arms across her chest. Raising her eyebrow at him, she stated in a
contemptuous tone, "Really? Do you think you will benefit from exposing me? By doing that, don't you think you'll get exposed for
being a ruthless evil person like me? Yes, I'm not a decent human being. I know that. But I think that in Mandy's mind, you're a
good person. Do you really want to destroy your that image to her? Do you really want to disappoint her? You're going to hurt her
even more! You should know by now: The moment you decided to work with me, you could no longer just walk away when you
wanted to."
After listening to Eve, Colin finally understood that he had made a huge mistake.
Feeling a little helpless, Colin could only glare at Eve. "But I can't let you hurt her anymore!"
"If you want to take the risk of losing Mandy for the rest of your life, then go ahead. I won't stop you." At that moment, Eve was
casually holding a glass of water with her slender fingers. Even the expression on her face was back to being calm and laid-
back.
Eve had studied psychology. She knew that most of the time, people would regret decisions that were made on impulse, so she
forced herself to calm down. Only when she had done so could she convince Colin to continue their alliance.
Colin smiled without saying anything. He looked at her with a feeble and sullen look in his eyes.
"I'm the bad guy. I'm the one who is hated by Mandy, so that you can be the good one. Are you still unhappy about that? You
really are asking for too much, aren't you?" Eve was waging a psychological battle with him, and she was winning.
Colin was starting to be convinced that she might be right. If that was the case, he could maintain his image of being a good
person. Why should he make things difficult for himself?
As Colin fell into continued silence, Eve stated, "Don't worry. No one will ever find out that you're involved, but you have to
cooperate with me."
Colin gnashed his teeth in anger. "How dare you threaten me?"
