Alexander narrowed his eyes. “So you asked Mike to bury the body on purpose?”
Rhea stared at him sideways for a moment before smiling. “Why else would I do that? Since he’s timid and cautious, he would worry about spreading the virus.
“He knows how contagious the viruses in the lab were and how severe the consequences would be. Therefore, he’d naturally look for your help,” After a pause, Rhea continued, “However, I was curious whether you’d help him first or look for Cameron first.”
She clapped and added, “Oh, I forgot you have helpers. You can always get help, considering how rich and powerful you are. Still, I’m surprised you personally came to rescue Cameron.”
After a brief thought, Alexander asked, “So? Is that corpse contagious?”
“No, no, no,” Rhea said, shaking her head, “I have no idea about that.”
Alexander knitted his brows and looked at her in puzzlement.
Rhea continued, “I only run the research. The outcomes, subsequent developments, and so on are often beyond my control. Also, there’s insufficient time, and the research isn’t mature yet. So, I have no idea whether it has the potential for contagion.”
“You…” Alexander did not expect her to be able to say such a thing so indifferently. He knew Rhea had a screw loose but did not expect her to be this crazy.
‘She doesn’t care about human life or what harm her actions can cause our society and the world.’
