Chapter 637
With Ethan out today, Laura was left in charge of the lab. Seeing the two of them just standing around idle, Laura snapped, “You two-move all this equipment up to the third floor.”
Luna snapped, “We’re all researchers here. Why do you get to bark orders while we do the heavy lifting?”
Luna thought, ‘Flynt clearly favors Aria. As her assistant, I don’t have to take this crap like everyone else!
Luna knew exactly where she stood-by Aria’s side. Even if she couldn’t escape, life here wouldn’t be too hard for her.
Laura’s assistant said, “If she won’t do it, you will. After all, you’re just an assistant.”
“You’re just an assistant too,” Luna snapped back. “Why don’t you move them?”
Laura’s assistant said, “I’ve been working here for three years. You think you’re on my level? Do it now!”
Luna’s temper flared. She stomped on the box and snapped, “No way!”
Laura’s assistant reached out and shoved her. “That’s days of our hard work. How dare you stomp on it!”
When Aria came back to her senses, Luna was already fighting with Laura’s assistant.
Laura, protective of her own, stepped forward and yanked Luna back. “This is a lab, not your stage for tantrums. Get out!”
Aria clamped down on Laura’s hand. “Let the kids fight it out. No need for adults to butt in.” butt in.”
With Aria backing her up, Luna grew emboldened and forcefully shoved Laura’s assistant aside.
The assistant staggered backward and slammed into the lab bench, sending glassware shattering across the floor.
Laura shrieked, “What the hell are you all standing around for? If our experiment is ruined, Mr. Hartley won’t let any of you off the hook!”
Only then did the others rush in to break things up. Overwhelmed by all the indignities she’d suffered lately, Luna snapped -grabbing a metal lab stand and swinging it wildly like a madwoman.
She shouted, “You fucking bastards! We’re all captives here-who the hell do you think you are? Go to hell, all of you.”
The metal lab stand smashed into the equipment and the incubator. With clanging and crashing, things toppled and shattered everywhere.
Someone shouted, “Someone stop her, now!”
As someone moved to intervene, Aria subtly stuck out her foot and tripped them. The lab erupted into utter chaos.
Aria watched the chaos unfold with immense satisfaction. She liked Luna more.
Flynt rushed over upon hearing the news, only to find the lab in utter shambles. Everyone looked battered and disheveled- everyone except Aria, who stood perfectly composed.
Flynt turned to Aria at once. “Are you hurt?”
Laura was just about to voice her complaint when, to her shock, Flynt showed concern only for Aria-the only one who’d come out unscathed. Her face instantly darkened.

She said, “Flynt, if you have feelings for her, then keep her by your side. Don’t let her wreak havoc in the lab.”
Flynt’s expression darkened. “This entire lab belongs to me. Who stays here is my decision-that’s not your call.”
Laura was seething with rage but didn’t dare vent it on Flynt. She tore off her lab coat and snapped, “I’m going to Ethan to settle this!” Laura stormed out in a rage, and her assistant scrambled after her.
Flynt rubbed his temples and looked at the others. “You all have a paid day off today. Go back and get some rest.”
