Even when she had been discovered, she had never once thought of using that drug on Johnathan. Who gave this man the right to make that decision for her?
The man still had his back to Quinn, but it was as if he had eyes there. He said softly, “Don’t do anything stupid. You know I’ve always valued you. You’re no worse than Johnathan. Look – all the drugs currently circulating on the market came from your hands. You’re even more impressive than he. He only provided raw data. But you? You improved it, diversified it. For a man, Quinn – is it really worth it?”
Quinn said nothing.
How could this man possibly understand?
Johnathan had been her lifelong obsession. Now that the obsession was gone, nothing else could hold her interest.
“Think carefully about what I said. Just leave for now.”
The moment his words fell, he seemed to sense something. His voice sharpened.
“You were followed?”
Quinn froze.
She was certain no one could have tracked her this quickly. She instinctively turned back someone she never expected standing on the shore.
“Johnathan?”
She blinked, then broke into a wide grin. “I knew it! I knew you’d be okay!”
Unlike her joy, the men on the boat looked visibly shaken.

and saw
They had been sure Johnathan was dead- that was the only reason they dared break Quinn out. Who could have imagined it was all a setup?
And the most crucial detail: Johnathan hadn’t used the drugs. The only possibility left was that someone had actually developed a cure.
Quinn thought of this too. Her expression shifted through several shades.
“She actually pulled it off?”
Her voice was thick with jealousy and resentment.
That drug had been developed by Sierra – the same one that had “killed” Johnathan. But Johnathan wasn’t dead.

Quinn couldn’t describe how she felt. From the moment she created the compound, she had always wanted to find a cure. Because she knew Johnathan he would never let himself be controlled.
She had planned to deliver the cure to him at the crucial moment.
But years of effort had gotten her nowhere. All she had created were addictive palliative agents.
And Sierra? In just over ten days, she had accomplished what Quinn hadn’t in years. How could Quinn not be jealous?
“That’s why I really hate geniuses,”
Quinn said slowly, word by word. “I really hate all of you.”
Because of people like them, her own mediocrity became glaring.
She had always believed Johnathan distanced himself from her because she was too plain, not good enough for him. So she had worked desperately to close that gap.
But to others, all her efforts had been a joke.
Sierra was sitting in a car nearby, but she could see everything happening on the boat clearly.
Hearing Quinn’s words, she was speechless. People with scrambled minds really are impossible to reason with.
Johnathan didn’t bother talking much to Quinn. His gaze was focused on the man at the front of the boat
the one who’d never turned around.

So this was the boss of the organization?
Now that it was clear Johnathan hadn’t died and that everything had been a trap, this man still showed no panic. What was he counting on?
In a spot no one could see, Johnathan subtly made a hand gesture. Stone and the others nodded slightly in
response.
The area had already been surrounded. No one would be getting out.
Before Johnathan could speak, Quinn beat him to it.
“So I lost to you after all. How did you figure it out?”
She’d thought her performance had been flawless. She had done everything it took to act insane.
“Just a gut feeling.”
Johnathan answered flatly. “But I am curious lucid?”
“Because of the chip!”

Quinn pointed to her own head. “I implanted a chip. Even if my nervous system collapsed, I could still

think clearly.”
Johnathan’s brow furrowed slightly. Before he could speak again, Quinn continued:

“Why else do you think I was able to develop so many drugs in just a few years? I’m not like you. I’m not naturally gifted. But I desperately wanted to be your equal. Back then, I kept wondering how I could be just as brilliant. Eventually, I thought of a solution: implant a chip. Make my brain function like a computer.”
Johnathan said nothing, just pressed his lips into a thin line. He had never realized how far Quinn’s madness had gone.
In the car, Sierra was even more stunned. There’s actually a method like that?
She had never heard of such technology. It had to be something buried deep in the shadows. Who knew where Quinn had found it?
