The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 713

Anthony remembered things well. He distinctly recalled that Lottie's last report had been normal, except for one new gene sequence called HG21. Now, this latest report showed yet another new sequence.

Was Lottie's genetic makeup actually changing?

“The report really is different,” Dr. David said, his tone serious as he caught Anthony’s reaction. “I noticed the anomaly, but I haven’t had the chance to let Charlotte know yet.”

Anthony kept his eyes on the report, his expression tight. He might not have had a medical degree, but even he knew how serious genetic changes could be.

“Do you know what’s causing it?” he asked.

Dr. David shook his head. “No. So far, though, HG21 seems to be coexisting with Charlotte’s own genes. We haven’t found any negative effects.”

He paused, looking troubled. “But it’s strange. Our institute has been studying this for a while, and we haven’t figured out the cause of the changes in Charlotte’s genes. We don’t even know what HG21 actually is.”

This new gene was just too bizarre.

“Just because it’s not causing problems now doesn’t mean it won’t in the future,” Anthony muttered, rubbing his forehead. “Isn’t that right?”

“That’s true,” Dr. David agreed. “But don’t worry too much. Charlotte knows her own body. If something feels off, she’ll notice right away.”

Anthony tucked the report away, his eyes darkening. “Don’t tell her about this until after the competition. And make sure the HG21 research keeps moving. If you need anything, just let me know.”

As soon as he said that, Dr. David’s tired eyes suddenly lit up. “We’re good on everything else. It’s just… funding…”

Anthony nodded, then pulled out his phone and made a call. His voice was cool and matter-of-fact. “Transfer one billion dollars to N Organization’s lab budget.”

The researchers nearby froze, stunned by what they’d just heard. Some even dropped their instruments in shock.

A billion dollars.
