Chapter 641
Wilson cleared his throat and finally looked at the camera. “Aria, long time no see.”
On the screen, Aria’s brows lifted slightly as she said in a flat, detached tone, “We don’t seem to have met before.”
Wilson choked up. After a moment of pause, he said, “I’d like to go back, but duty calls.”
Aria said, “No need to explain. Honestly, I barely remember you. Without the Saxon family connection, we probably wouldn’t have known each other.”
Her tone was distant, as if she were simply talking to a stranger.
In fact, they were no different from strangers.
Wilson didn’t take it to heart. From the way Aria replied, he knew she had always been indifferent.
Aria had already cut ties with the Saxon family. Thus, she had no reason to be close to Wilson.
Blood aside, they really were nothing more than strangers.
Wilson said, “My mom told me that my dad used to give you a hard time. Honestly, he has got a screw loose. If he ever crosses the line, you can attack him.”
Aria let out a soft chuckle. “I’ve long left the Saxon family behind and have nothing to do with them anymore. You don’t need to force small talk. Just speak normally.”
Owen cut in impatiently, “If you don’t have anything to say, hand the phone back to me.”
Wilson ignored him, dropped the previous topic, and grew more serious. “The experimental base isn’t simple. Take care. If you need anything, just reach out to me. Owen is heading to the Solemnity Guild and won’t be able to help. I’ll keep his phone then.”
Owen said, “In your dreams. I won’t give you my phone.”
Wilson turned to him and snapped, “You can’t help anyway.”
Owen asked back, “Like you could help?”
Wilson retorted, “At least Arressto and Aria are on the same page.”
Aria cut in as the two were about to argue. “So your goal is to kill Margery?”
Wilson turned back to her and said coldly, “Yes. Arressto never lets a traitor walk free.”
Aria said, “Then tell Arressto that Ethan won’t let Margery leave. If they want her dead, they’ll have to take down the whole
nest.”
Owen could only hear Aria’s voice. Unable to see her, he was rapidly losing patience. He cut straight to the chase. “Madelyn wants you to leak her presence at the base. With Arressto outside and her inside, you can coordinate to blow up the lab.”
Owen thought, ‘Margery could be considered Pearl’s master, so Madelyn won’t help kill Margery. I can let Arressto get a piece of the action and see what will happen!
Wilson shot him a glare. “I know. No need to repeat.”

After that, he turned back to the screen, and his tone softened slightly. “Should we take out the entire base?”
Aria shook her head. “Just the lab. There are a lot of researchers who are being held against their will.”
Wilson nodded. “I see.”
Hearing this, Owen snatched the phone back and gestured toward the door. “Then get out, and you’ll get the phone once you’re out. If you don’t leave now, you’re not getting it.”
Wilson speechlessly rolled his eyes at Owen’s childish antics and left.
