Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 712

Ruby bit her lip and recounted what had happened that morning.

When she finished, she said angrily, “Leon definitely gave the data to Brody on Friday night, but Brody is completely denying it now.”

Brody sneered from the side, speaking sarcastically. “I didn’t receive anything. How do I know you two aren’t colluding to frame me for losing the data?”

Leon was furious. He rushed over to grab Brody by the collar. “I handed it to you in person on Friday! Are you going to say again that you didn’t receive it?!”

In contrast to Leon’s flushed face, Brody seemed unconcerned.”

“What? You want to hit me? Go ahead, but think it through. If you do, I’ll definitely call the police,” he provoked

Worried that Leon might act impulsively, Nyla quickly stepped in to hold him back. “Leon, calm down.”

Ruby hurriedly joined in to stop Leon as well.

Just as Leon began to cool down, Brody spoke up again. “What? Scared to make a move? Coward!”

This completely infuriated Leon. He lost control and swung his fist hard at Brody.

Brody wore a smug smile. He had disliked Leon from the very beginning. Once Leon’s punch connected, he would make him regret it.

“Leon!” Nyla yelled.

Seeing she couldn’t stop him, she pushed Brody aside. Leon’s punch landed squarely on her.

Leon instinctively pulled back his strength when he saw Nyla moving, but it was too late.

A sharp pain surged through Nyla, causing her to lose her balance and stumble backward. She knocked

over the glass instruments on the lab table, and they shattered all over the floor.

She fell to the ground, her palm pressed against the shards, and blood gushed out immediately.

“Nyla!” Leon and Ruby cried simultaneously.

Ruby rushed to help Nyla as Leon, realizing what he had done, immediately calmed down. Guilt and regret flickered in his eyes.

Nyla had warned him to stay calm earlier, but he still lost control, leading to her injury.

Overcome with guilt and frustration, Leon muttered an apology before fleeing the lab.

Ruby, furious, nearly wished she could hurt Leon herself. She quickly helped Nyla to her feet. “Nyla, I’ll take you to the hospital to treat your injury.”

At that moment, several people entered the room.

Sullivan led the group, followed by men in suits.

Sullivan began, “Mr. Sumner, our lab’s experiments are progressing smoothly. As you can see-” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Before he could finish, someone behind him stepped past quickly and approached Nyla. His expression darkened as he noticed her injured hand. “What happened?”

Nyla shook her head. “It was just an accident. I’m heading to the hospital.”

As she tried to walk past Damon, he grasped her wrist. “I’ll take you.”

Given her current condition, she couldn’t drive, so she reluctantly nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Sumner.”

Everyone in the room, except Sullivan, stared in disbelief.

What was going on?

Damon seemed unusually familiar with Nyla and genuinely concerned for her.

Unbothered by the others‘ reactions, Damon called for a driver to bring the car to the company entrance and led Nyla out.
