Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 646

**Chapter 646: Gray’s Fury**

Sebastian enveloped the girl in his arms, his voice a soothing balm against the chill that surrounded them. “It’s alright. This storm will eventually pass. The truth has a way of revealing itself. I promise you, not a single soul who harmed your mother will escape justice.” His words were meant to comfort, to reassure, but they also carried the weight of his own resolve.

In the frigid air of the cemetery, the warmth of his embrace seeped into her heart, offering a flicker of solace amidst the pain.

Meanwhile, in the opulent presidential suite of the Grande Hotel, a different kind of heat was building. The man clad in black, his face twisted in fury, watched the broadcast flickering on the screen. With a violent motion, he hurled the remote control against the television, shattering the momentary calm. His eyes blazed with rage as he glared at Ivan and the others gathered before him. “Incompetent fools! Utterly useless! A whole battalion of you, and you’ve been bested by a mere worm! This is an utter disgrace! An abomination! What did I tell you before you embarked on this mission? What promises did you make to me? And yet, what do I have to show for it? A complete and utter failure! How am I supposed to present this catastrophe to my superiors?”

One of the older men, his voice trembling with caution, ventured to speak. “Mr. Gray, we truly did not anticipate that worm being so effective. It even managed to neutralize the toxin you provided. This outcome was beyond our wildest expectations.”

Ivan, eager to shift the blame, interjected, “Exactly. Could it be that there was an issue with the medicine you supplied? How else could those people have handled it so effortlessly?”

Gray, his hands resting defiantly on his hips, shot back, his eyes smoldering with indignation. “Impossible! I went to great lengths to procure that medicine! I refuse to believe that he could have the audacity to deceive me. There must be something more at play here.”

A sudden realization sparked in Ivan’s mind. “That girl at the conference today… there’s something off about her. It seemed as if Noah was acting on her instructions.”

Gray’s disdainful sneer cut through the room. “What’s so peculiar about a little girl? A loss is a loss, and I won’t tolerate any excuses for your incompetence.”

Gray’s gaze remained fixed on the screen, a look of malice etched across his face. He picked up his phone from the table, dialed a number with a steely resolve, and commanded, “I expect you to locate that old bastard Nicholas by tomorrow. Bring him to me, no matter the cost.”

He hung up, his voice rising in a furious roar. “You dare to deceive me? I will ensure you face the dire consequences of your foolishness.”

In the meantime, deep within a secluded research institute nestled in the mountains, Renee surveyed the lab with a piercing, arrogant gaze. A smirk danced on her lips as she addressed Nicholas, “You’ve got quite the audacity, Nicholas. Secretly constructing a facility like this behind my back. Are you plotting to sever our partnership?”

Nicholas let out a sinister laugh, his eyes glinting with mischief. “What are you insinuating? If I intended to keep this from you, why would I bring you here? The truth is, things were too volatile before, and this place needed to remain hidden, which is why I didn’t involve you earlier. Take a good look around. What’s your verdict? Are you satisfied?”
