Chapter 539 Change The Curtains

After chatting for a while, Robert asked the elder professor for the key to the chemical lab on the pretext of conducting an experiment.

But his real purpose was to make some luminol reagent in the lab.

Robert hadn't touched chemicals for a long time, so his skills were a bit rusty. Fortunately, he still remembered some essential techniques, with which he successfully made what he wanted.

Then, he went home.

Lisa was surprised to see Robert arrive home just as she was about to go to bed. She'd thought that he couldn't come home tonight and would stay in the company.

"Why did you come home early today?"

Robert nodded his head in response and said,"I haven't been able to sleep well recently, so I thought it'd be better to come home early and get some sleep."

"Robert, you're home?" Adam said with a smile, walking out of his room.

Without replying, Robert stared at Adam's face in silence for a while. Adam's appearance hadn't changed at all, but he didn't feel the intimacy between them anymore. It felt like the person in front of him was a stranger, rather than his younger brother.

Although Robert and Adam were not twins and were born with a few years of age difference, they were telepathically connected.

But now, Robert felt terrible towards his brother.

And he kept thinking about what Linda Xia had told him earlier.

"Yes, I am. You're still up, Adam! Could you do me a favor? I'm not feeling well and I would like to rest at home for a few days. So, could you help take care of our family business when I'm off work?After all, I will hand over the business to you eventually,"

Robert said, his eyes fixed on Adam's face.

Vincent was surprised. After what had happened last time, this was the last thing he was expecting to hear from Robert. He'd thought that Robert had grown to distrust him and would never hand the family business over to

h the help of luminol reagent, he would soon find out whether Alice was killed at home.

But the more the truth was exposed, the more frightened he was becoming. He could never accept the fact that Alice was killed by Lisa and his brother. If it was true, he didn't know how to face these two people, for one of them was his dearest brother and the other was his wife who was carrying his baby.

What was he supposed to do? Robert got on his knees and bowed his head down, not knowing how to deal with the probable truth. Suddenly, he struck the floor with his fists. Blood seeped out from his knuckles immediately. It was painful, but he didn't seem to care about the pain at all. He continued kneeling on the floor until the bleeding stopped.

Later, he made a call to have all the curtains in the living room be changed into thick drapes.

When Lisa came back from the hospital, she was confused to see workers changing the curtains. "What's wrong? Why are the curtains being changed?"

"Nothing big. I just thought our old curtains looked too shabby and faded. We've been using them for many years now. A few days ago, I saw some new curtains in a mall and I thought them quite pretty, so I bought them. What do you think?" Robert answered casually.
