Chapter 268 Chapter 268 Inside Bennetts labi, Noelle was still strapped into the testing chair.
Her fists clenched so tightly that the veins on the backs of her hands bulged beneath her pale skin.
She bit down hard on her bottom lip.
but despite her effort to stay silent, soft cries of pain still slipped out.
Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, dripping in steady streams down her face and off her chin, pooling beneath the chair into a small puddle.
She had clearly been enduring this for a long time.
In the olpervation room above, the researchers watched in tense silence.
Many had turned their eyes away, unable to bear the sight of her suffering under the maximum neural load. Bennetts expression had grown increasingly grim.
His usual easygoing smile was long gone, replaced by cold fury as he stared at his Finally, as Noelle began to tremble violently, Bennett couldnt take it anymore.

Anderson? Or did you think the funding for this was just for show? Shes in pain ! Bennett growled through gritted teeth, Cant you see that ? Brandons eyes flicked toward the testing room.
This is nothing.
She can take it He said it with chilling calm, as if Noelles suffering was a trivial inconvenience.

Bennetts face changed.
He moved to shut down the systern.
You son of a shut it off, now! But before he could reach the controls, Brandon moved.
In a flash, Bennett was slammed to the ground.
Brandon placed a firm boot on his chest, pressing down hard as he looked down at him with cold disdain.
Tve been patient with you, Brandon said, voice dangerously low.
Only because youre Noelles brother.
Dont push me.
Bennett gasped, struggling to breathe under the pressure.
His rilis felt like they were about to crack.
Brandons gaze was sharp lethal.
He had no intention of letting Bennett interfere.
Bennett stared back, fury burning in his eyes It was becoming clearer by the second Brandon was here to extract all of Noelles memories, and he was in a hurry.
Thats why he didnt care how much pain she was in .
He needed the data at any cost.
But why? What was he planning to do with Noelles memories? Eventually, Brandon stepped off, brushing imaginary dust from his hands and offering a tight lipped smile.

He really expected her to do even more tomorrow? Of course, I believe in you, Brandon said warmly, ruffling her hair like she was a good student.
His tone was gentle, almost tender.
Lione was the Terrifying, ruthless man from the control room. With Noelle kie was nothing but soft and indulgent.
And that was the most Because Noelle knew no matter how-sweet Brandon seemed, he belonged to the lab.
And she had been trained to obey, Even if her heart resisted, ker body wouldnt So, despite the dread swirling in her chest, she nodded obediently.
Okay... I understand.
Brandon beamed.
Thats my good girl.
At the door, Bennett stood silently, watching the scene unfold.
Watching Brandon stroke her hair like nothing had happened.
Like he hadnt just pushed her to the brink.
And in that moment, Bennetts unease deepened.
Brandon wasnt just dangerous he was something else entirely And the longer he stayed in Noelles world, the more everyone was at risk.
