Chapter 237
“What’s wrong!” Stanley asked when he noticed Noelle’s hesitation
“Well..” Noelle explained everything that had happened the night before.
The moment she finished, Stanley didn’t hesitate. “Told you. She’s a killing machine. Even without her memories, that instinct to kill is built–in You’d better tell Adriel to kick her out before someone gets hurt.”
“No way” Noelle shook her head. “Adriel really likes Elsie. He’d probably kick me out before he kicked her out
“Unbelievable,” Stanley muttered, rolling his eyes.
Noelle glanced sideways at him. “Stanley, aren’t you worried“”.
“You’re from the same lab as her. Aren’t you scared they’ll punish you for badmouthing one of their own?
But Stanley shrugged like it was no big deal. “What’s there to be scared of? It’s not like the lab monitors me 24/7”
No?” Noelle raised a brow. Im always being monitored. Brandon once told me everything I say or do is logged.
Stanley chuckled, almost smug. That’s because you’re SS–class. They keep a tighter leash on you than someone like me.”
“Oh.” Noelle’s expression dimmed a bit. She had grown used to being constantly watched, but still, the thought of Brandon knowing everything, even her inumate moments with Nicolas, made her deeply uncomfortable. If only she had more freedom like Stanley.
Stanley, meanwhile, had just wanted to confirm whether Noelle actually knew who Elsie was, Now that he knew she was informed—and that Brandon was, too–he could rest a little easier.
“Whether or not you get rid of her, just watch your back,” Stanley said. “That girl’s dangerous.”
“I keep that in mind.” Noelle nodded.
“Great. Now take your autographs and go,” he said.
Noelle pouted and nudged his arm. “Hey, at least give me a ride back to Adriel’s place.
Stanley snorted. “Do I look like your chauffeur?”
“Aren’t we friends” she shot back, arms crossed
Stanley blinked at that. “Friends” He had always thought of Noelle as a partner–someone he worked with, nothing more. But hearing her say that… it didn’t sound too bad.
He raised an eyebrow. “Tine. Give me the address:
“Yay!” Noelle cheered, delighted at the free ride. “Oh, and join us for dinner!”
“No thanks”
“Boring”
When they arrived at the restaurant, Noelle barely got the door open before Stanley sped off like he was being chased.
Watching his taillights disappear, she muttered, “Coward. Is Elie really that scary?”
To her. Ele still felt more silly than d
dangerous–maybe even adorable.
Inside the restaurant, a server escorted her to a private room. The moment the door opened, a familiar gure barreled toward her.
“Elsie?” Nocile instinctively caught the girl in her arms, stunned. Did she just say her name!
“You….. can talk now Noelle asked, eyes wirle with disbelief.
Elie looked up, those bright blue eyes sparkling. “I… ran talk now,” sh said slowly, carehilly forming each word.

Chapter 237
“How! What happened!” Noelle turned to Adriel in suprise.
Adriel explained. Right after you left to meet your friend, Elsie suddenly had a bad headache, I was about to take her to the hospital, but then… she
da had b just started speaking”
That made Noelle pouse. Right after I left to meet Stanley? Could it be–did Ebie react to hearing Stanley’s voice!
Noelle eyed Elsie carefully and asked. “Do you remember anything from before!
Elsie shook her head. “No… Lean’t remember.”
Noelle observed her closely–her breathing, her eye movement, her muscle tension. Nothing suggested she was lying.
So, she could talk now… but still had no memory of who
she wat
Still, Stanley’s words echoed in her mind. What if she gets her memory back? What if she becomes that bloodthirsty monster again? Then what?
What would she do? What would Adriel do!
