No. That's not possible. Jack wasn't around when I did it. Moreover, Roxanne's unconscious right now, so I'm the only one with the right to check the surveillance cameras of the lab. No one will be able to check the footage without my permission. Even if Jack is suspicious about my involvement, there's nothing he can do if I deny everything.
With that thought in mind, Colby relaxed. “Weren't you the one who has been working on the experiment with Dr. Jarvis lately? I wasn't sure about your experiment's details, and that's why I didn't dare to open the bottle right away—that's why I asked you guys to take a look at it.”
In other words, he was implying that he had stayed away from the lab countertop to ensure that the experiment would go smoothly without his presence.
After hearing his explanation, Jack looked at him skeptically before saying, “Dr. Galloway, don't you think it's such a coincidence? Why did something happen precisely when I wasn't around?”
Colby shrugged, his expression remaining unchanged. “I'm not sure either.”
Then, he shifted the topic and said, “What's most important now is Dr. Jarvis' condition. I wonder how she is right now. Where did Mr. Farwell take her to? Can we visit her?”
The mention of Lucian caused a dark look to descend upon Jack's face again. “Why did Lucian find out about Ms. Jarvis' poisoning?”
Colby stiffened, but he soon uttered in a confident tone, “Dr. Jarvis seems to be in a good relationship with Mr. Farwell, who's in charge of the powerful Farwell Group of Horington. Of course I'm going to look for Mr. Farwell after what happened to Dr. Jarvis. I was hoping he could provide her with the best medical resources.”
The grim look on Jack's face turned even more intense. “Dr. Galloway, have you forgotten that the Damaris family is more well-known in the medical industry?”
Colby retorted calmly, “I did, but you didn't seem like you were going to send her to the hospital, and I couldn't convince you otherwise. So, I had no choice but to look for Mr. Farwell.”
Jack glared at him for a few more seconds before uttering, “I hope that really was what happened.”
With that, Jack strode toward his car.
Colby's voice sounded out behind him. “Mr. Damaris, when will we continue with our research?”
As if he did not hear Colby, Jack closed his car door and drove away from the research institute.
