Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 415

Melissa seemed to have anticipated Damien's temper.

She explained patiently.

"Mr. Clarke, I know you are powerful and influential. But in the field of genetic technology, some things can't be solved with money and guns."

"The reason The Shepherd is so anxious this time, even going so far as to expose his trail to send you a message, is because—Nemesis Group Inc. has already obtained one-third of the key."

"One-third?"

Grace frowned. "What exactly is this key?"

"It's the key to activating the Helix Line's gene optimization technology," Melissa said with a grave expression. "Without the key, a gene-optimized individual is merely a 'potential genius.' Once the key is activated, it unlocks the genetic lock, granting intelligence, physical abilities, and even a lifespan that surpasses ordinary people."

"But this lock was split into three parts."

Melissa held up three fingers.

"The first part is kept by the family's core council of elders."

"The second part was stolen by a traitor to the family years ago and sold to Nemesis Group Inc. for a high price. This is why Nemesis has been fixated on you and your mother."

"And the third part…"

Melissa's gaze fell on Grace, filled with deep compassion.

"Was with your grandmother."

"A few days after your grandfather sent your grandmother and mother back, he was assassinated. They searched everywhere but couldn't find the key. It's highly likely your grandmother took it with her."

"Later, your grandmother also died in an accident. That third part of the key should have been with your mother."

Grace was stunned.

"Impossible…"

Grace shook her head, her voice choked with emotion. "The only things my mother left me were a few diaries and that time capsule… there was nothing else."

"If there really was some kind of key, Alistair Hart would have found it and taken it long ago!"

"Maybe it's not a physical object."

Damien spoke up suddenly.

He turned to look at Grace. "Grace, you just said your sense of smell is more sensitive than a normal person's, that it's a genetic gift."

"Is it possible…"
