Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 738

"Back then, I invested in you. Did you think I was doing that out of charity? Return the money if you want to terminate the contract," demanded Eve.

"I didn't ask for your money. You gave it to me out of your own free will." Colin glared at Eve with his dark eyes and said in an arrogant tone, "Not once did you mention that you were just 'lending' the 500 million. So, I have no obligation to pay back that sum."

"You really aren't good at reciprocating kindness, Colin. Since we are in a partnership, you inevitably have to follow my orders." Eve lifted her eyes slightly and looked at Colin with arrogance.

Colin's eyes were full of ridicule, and the smile on his face became even colder. "I didn't ask you to give me the money. But, if you insist, I can throw away chump change like that anytime you want. I will ask someone to transfer the money back to you tomorrow," said Colin.

Hearing that Colin was going to return her money, Eve became anxious. She frowned and said, "Well… It was just a harmless joke. Colin, you are a smart man. You know what I want. If I cared about money, I wouldn't have invested in you in the first place."

Colin pursed his lips and remained silent. Eve couldn't help but feel embarrassed due to his silence.

"I don't want the money. I just want our partnership to go on like before." This time, she spoke a little softer. She never imagined that Colin would turn out to be a stubborn and proud individual.

With his lips pursed, Colin glared at Eve, and asked, "What did you inject into Adrian?"

"Come on. I didn't inject anything into his body. Where did you hear that? Don't throw false accusations at me." He knew she was lying. But he pretended like he had no idea as he was still suspicious of her.

Eve had carefully planned the whole thing before injecting the bacteria. She chose an abandoned corner in the underground garage, which was also out of the CCTV's reach. She made sure that no one could ever glean the truth. It would remain a secret as long as Dr. Ouyang didn't rat her out.

However, Nathan and Mandy were already suspicious. It wouldn't be long before they went out to look for Dr. Ouyang. The best course of action was that Dr. Ouyang should be taken into hiding for some time. He would be in constant danger otherwise.

"You have committed so many sins. Aren't you afraid?" With a cold smile on his face, Colin glared viciously at Eve. He thought to himself, 'This woman is so bold. She has even risked her life and reputation for the sake of love!'

"Ha-ha! What should I be afraid of?" said Eve while raising her eyebrows, revealing her arrogance and fearlessness.

Without a doubt, Eve was a blessed girl. Not only was she born into a rich family, but she was also the only child. Even if she made a big mistake, her father Shaun would surely protect her safety.

In recent years, the Sus Bank business was growing at a steady rate. It had deep roots in the financial market and even worked in close relation with JS International. Their annual profit was always more than 10 billion. But if the JS International terminated their contract with the Sus Bank, then JS International would suffer damage worth billions in the stock market.

This fact alone gave Eve the much-needed assurance that Nathan wouldn't dare to do anything to her. At most, he could only scorn her.

"Aren't you afraid of Nathan?" Colin squinted his eyes, which were deep and arcane. He thought, 'It's really difficult to guess this woman's mind. On the surface, Eve might seem like someone obsessed with love. But she has formed a balance in her heart, in fact. She isn't crazy about love. She is well aware of her actions and the consequences they carry.'

However, Eve loved taking risks. Everything she did was risky. If she won, then great rewards awaited her; if she lost, then she would lose everything.

"He won't. He would have dealt with me a long time ago if he could. Besides… We have been together for so many years. Even if there is no love between us, the friendship is still there," said Eve, confident that Nathan would put their friendship above his son's health.

"So, you hurt Mandy without remorse?"

"I didn't hurt her. I just want to get Nathan. Besides, I haven't done anything lately," Eve said in a calm tone, but she began thinking about Doctor Ouyang.

"You'd better keep your nose clean," said Colin with a poker face.

"I don't need you to remind me. Did you know that you become very charming when you get serious? Especially when you grabbed my wrist just now, you looked just like Nathan," Eve said in a coltish tone and started to tease Colin.

Colin laughed, but he didn't take Eve's words seriously. "Don't compare me with him."

Hearing his mutters, Eve shrugged. Then she nodded and said, "Yeah, you're right. You're not as good as my Nathan."

Deep inside, Colin cursed Eve for her shamelessness. He had no idea what was going on in her head, so a relationship with her was near impossible. She was so disgusting!

Colin didn't even accept a kind and upright woman like Morry, let alone a disgusting woman like Eve.

"Then I wish you Godspeed. Hope you could become Nathan's girlfriend as soon as possible."

"You too. May you have your Mandy back as soon as possible. When that happens, both of us will be happy." Eve smiled, fully displaying her charm.

Colin stood up and walked out of the villa.

In the JR Hospital

Dean Tyler, the vice dean, several directors, as well as Mandy and Nathan gathered in the doctor's office to discuss Adrian's condition.

"The bruise isn't that hard to deal with. At present, he is perfectly fine. It proves that the bacteria in his body is still under control," Director Qian said, holding the latest blood test report.

"Usually we inject anti-inflammatory drugs and monitor for about two days," the vice dean said, raising his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Then, what kind of bacteria is it? Nathan, did Adrian ever get hurt and bleed a lot before?" Mandy turned to look at Nathan.

As far as Nathan could remember, he had been spoiling Adrian ever since his childhood. Nonetheless, he was injured before. When he was two and a half years old, he fell down and hurt his knees. But the bleeding stopped pretty soon.

"Yes, he did. He once fell down, and his knees were injured. But the bleeding soon stopped," replied Nathan. With a somewhat gloomy expression, Nathan looked coldly at the vice dean.
