After Stephani finished speaking, Chu Tianjiang knew that she had been in contact with Nicholas, so she had already known what happened in New York.

Subsequently, Chu Tianjiang told Stephani what had happened in the past few days.

"I knew that sooner or later there would be this day." Stephani doesn't seem to be saddened by Nicholas's tragic death. "When he told me that he was going to crush Williams' plot, I warned him that we were no match for Williams, and that he was seeking death if he did so."

"But you didn't stop him."

"Do you think I can stop him?" Stephani sighed and said, "We all know that Williams must be stopped, but I don't agree with his approach. ”

Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times, and he said, "So, do you have any other way?" ”

Stephani smiled reluctantly and said, "Nicholas asked you to bring them to me, obviously not to ask me to protect Rachel and them, but to let me help them." ”

"Only you can help them, because they're dying."

"What?"

Chu Tianjiang sighed and told Rachel and the others about the severe nuclear radiation, but he ignored that he was with them at the time.

"Where are they?" Stephani asks this phrase, indicating that she has promised to save Rachel and them.

"A very safe place."

Stephani nodded and asked, "How much time is left?" ”

"Half a day at most, maybe less than half a day. Maya was already injured and very weak, and she was in a deep coma when I came to you. ”

"You think I can save them?"

"If you can't save them, there will be no one in this world who can save them." Chu Tianjiang paused slightly, "As far as I know, Campbell and the others almost died of radiation sickness. ”

"Do you know anything about the X warriors?"

"Professor Nicholas told me."

"Did he tell you that Campbell's X-Fighters are different from Rachel?"

"This ......"

Stephani sighed and said, "I can't give you any guarantees, but this is Nicholas's deathbed request, and I will do my best." ”

"Thank you, I'll ...... them on Rachel's behalf"

"Don't thank me yet." Stephani pressed his hand and said, "Helping them takes a lot of risk, and you have to promise me one thing." ”

"What?"

"Whatever the outcome, take someone out of the U.S. and send them to a safe place that provides basic safety and livelihood."

"Who?"

"Can't tell you now, wait until ......"

"Professor, if I don't even know who this person is, how can I arrange the retreat route and other related things?"

Stephani let out a long breath and said, "Melanie." ”

"Your assistant?" Chu Tianjiang was very surprised.

Stephani nodded and said, "That's my only request, if you agree, I'll do my best to help Rachel and them." ”

"What's her relationship with you?"

"Does it matter?"

"It doesn't matter, but if you can tell me, it might help."

Stephanie pondered for a moment before saying, "She's my daughter with Nicholas. ”

"What!?" Chu Tianjiang's eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Stephani in great surprise.

"To be precise, she is my daughter, and Nicholas is not her biological father, at most she is an adoptive father."

"This ......" is too complicated, isn't it? Chu Tianjiang was even more surprised. Could it be that Melanie was Stephanie's daughter after an affair?

"Twenty-four years ago, when I was a student of Nicholas, I fell in love with him, and I loved him like crazy." Stephanie knew that since the topic related to Melanie had been mentioned, he couldn't hold back, otherwise it would only make Chu Tianjiang feel puzzled. "At that time, Nicholas put all his mind on scientific research and made many amazing achievements, some of which have not been announced to this day."

"You're married?"

"No, I never married him." Stephani smiled reluctantly and said, "One night, he came to me out of the blue and asked me if I would like to volunteer for a very important research project. At the time, I was naïve, so I agreed without even thinking about it. ”

Chu Tianjiang frowned, could this be related to Melanie?

"Afterwards, I learned that this scientific research project needs a matrix."

"What!?"

"Breeding a DNA-modified offspring."

Chu Tianjiang almost jumped up. You know, it was more than 20 years ago, and Williams was still studying hard in middle school to get admitted to college.

"I've signed a contract to voluntarily accept the experiment, and I can't say no, but I have made a request."

"Let Nicholas be the father of this child?"

Stephani nodded and said, "This is my only request, if Nicholas refuses to agree, I will abort this child." ”

"He agreed?"

Stephani nodded again and said, "A week later, I went to his house and gave him the most precious thing of a woman. ”

"And then?"

"It was my first time."

"This ......"

"You should know that a woman's first time is painful. That night, Nicholas went crazy, and I couldn't remember anything afterwards. ”

Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times quickly, there must be something wrong here.

"After giving birth to Melanie, I was so weak that Nicholas took her away that day. I was told a few days later that she had died. ”

"How did you find her?"

"After knowing the Tao, I was very sad and depressed for a while, but I also came to my senses. Thinking back to what happened before, I figured it out. That night, it wasn't Nicholas who had sex with me at all, it was someone else, and my daughter didn't die. ”

"This ......"

"But I know that Nicholas values his career above all else, and he will sacrifice everything for the sake of his career, so I decided to stay with him and continue to assist him."

"Also secretly looking for Melanie's whereabouts?"

Stephani nodded and said, "Five years later, I found Melanie in an orphanage. ”

"How do you know she's your daughter?"

"Don't forget, I'm a biologist, and a biologist who studies DNA. Do you think doing a paternity test is a hassle? ”

"This ......"

"It was through the paternity test that I learned that Melanie was not Nicholas's daughter."

"And then?"

"I threatened Nicholas with what happened back then and forced him to marry me."

"What?"

"Nicholas said that we couldn't get married publicly, but he had to say yes to me, so we took advantage of a business trip to Bhutan and got married in Bhutan."

"With so much going on, why do you want to marry Nicholas?"

"Revenge!"

"What!?" Chu Tianjiang was even more surprised.

"What, scared?" Stephani smiled coldly and said, "Nicholas forced me to do what I didn't want to do, and I want him to taste what it was like to be forced." He certainly didn't tell you that he didn't have sexual ability, and that he had a lack of sexual function due to a genetic defect. ”

Chu Tianjiang was stunned again, and then realized that he should have thought of this a long time ago. The reason is that Rachel hates men to the core, but follows and obeys Nicholas.

"Since you want to take revenge on Nicholas, what ...... for?"

"In the first few years, I was purely trying to get revenge on him, for example, after I got married, I went to a nightclub to find a one-night stand, and I deliberately let him know." Stephani sighed and said, "It's a pity that he doesn't care, or he doesn't think we're husband and wife. ”

"There's no point in revenge."

"So to speak, and that's exactly what it is, no one knows that Nicholas and I are husband and wife, not even Williams."

"You ...... Williams" Chu Tianjiang was even more surprised.

"He was also a student of Nicholas, and I happened to be Nicholas's assistant when he was studying with Nicholas for his PhD."

"So ......"

"So we came together. Although I was eight years older than Williams, he was so good to me, except for one thing I could never forgive him. ”

"What?"

He pulled Melanie in. Stephani smiled wryly and said, "Because I already know that Melanie is not related to him, I didn't tell him about Melanie after marrying Nicholas. It's just that I'm also very busy, so I don't have much time to care about Melanie, just visit her once a week and spend an afternoon with her. In addition, until now, Melanie has not known that I am her biological mother. ”

"You didn't tell her?"

"Need to tell her?"

"This ......"

"If she had told me that I was her biological mother, she would have asked me who her biological father was, and I didn't know how to tell her about her background. Do you think I should tell her that she is the product of a scientific experiment made by a mad scientist? ”

Chu Tianjiang shook his head, because it would only make Melanie think that she was a monster.

"I didn't know anything about Melanie, until Williams brought her to me and made her my assistant, that I learned that she was a Ph.D. in biology."

"What does Williams know about your relationship?"

Stephani sighed and said, "He should know the truth, but I can't be sure." When Melanie arrived, I deliberately created some problems for her in the hope that Williams would fire her. Unfortunately, she not only solved all the problems, but also gained Williams's trust. ”

"If she doesn't know that you're her real mother, and Williams trusts her so much, wouldn't it ......?"

"I see what you mean." Stephanie paused for a moment, then added, "Melanie's job is to secretly spy on my work. I didn't tell her about her background because I didn't want her to get hurt. If she had known that I was her real mother, she would have betrayed Williams, and as a result, like Nicholas, she would have been killed by Williams sooner or later. I didn't break the relationship, and I still revealed some news to Williams through her from time to time. It's good for her, and it's good for me. ”

Chu Tianjiang quickly thought for a while and said, "Have you thought about it, if Williams knows about the relationship with you Melanie, and you do these things, not only will you not be able to deceive Williams, but it will make Williams find out that you have been secretly doing things that are not good for him." ”

"I know it, and I've thought of it for a long time."

Chu Tianjiang's brow jumped a few times, realizing that Stephani was definitely not as simple as he thought before.
