Chapter 162
Terrence coldly interrupted him, “You are no longer qualified to be involved in Equinox Research Laboratory.”
“What, what?”
Terrence threw a stack of documents on the table and said, “You embezzled public funds and have been dismissed from all positions.”
Boom!
Anton’s mind was blown!
He walked towards Terrence excitedly, “Lizzie reported me, right Commander! Lizzie is settling a personal score! She’s not happy with me, making false accusations!”
Jarred, in a split second, agilely lunged at him, swiftly grabbing his arm, and then pinned him down hard on the desk.
Anton struggled, but the more he struggled, the harder he was pressed. His face was pressed against the table, and it looked a bit deformed.
“Be honest! This is the final result we found in our investigation. Don’t resist recklessly. The best thing you can do is to confess and get a lighter punishment.”
At that moment, Anton was pinned down, with his face facing the door.
His gaze went past Jarred’s arm, and he caught sight of Lizzie rolling in through the door in her wheelchair.

Seeing Lizzie, Anton’s remaining sanity was instantly overwhelmed by a crazy rage, and he let out a beast–like roar from his throat.
“Lizzie!”
He suddenly broke free from Jarred’s momentary restraint with a surge of unknown strength.
Jarred was also pushed by him, took a step back, and hit the wall.
Anton was like a mad bull, opening his palm and charging straight towards the door where Lizzie stood.
“You promised me! You said if I gave Johanna a suspension, you wouldn’t report me! You went back on your word! I’m ruined, and I won’t let you off the hook!”
Lizzie was sitting in a wheelchair, facing this sudden deadly threat, her pupils suddenly shrank.
Her reaction was very quick, she pressed her hand on the wheelchair and immediately turned in the opposite direction.
However, the wheels of the wheelchair got stuck on the door frame and couldn’t move.
“Ms. Trevino!” Jarred was scared out of his wits!
This is Oswaldo’s treasure in her heart! She can’t lose it!
I saw Anton’s menacing hands about to touch Lizzie.
At the critical moment,
A figure as fast as lightning.
Terrence propped himself up on the edge of the table with one hand,

and agilely vaulted over it.
The moment he landed, he had already taken several steps. With a swift movement, just before Anton’s hand could touch Lizzie’s clothes, his hand, like a pair of iron tongs, accurately grabbed Anton’s neck from behind.
He pulled Anton back like a chicken and kept him away from Lizzie.
Anton’s momentum came to a sudden halt, his collar caught on his neck, and he started coughing violently.
All the madness and aggression, in the face of Terrence’s absolute power, seemed so powerless.
Jarred quickly realized what was happening, rushed forward, and took Anton from Terrence’s hands as he had already collapsed.
Anton was still whimpering and struggling unwillingly, but he posed no threat.
Jarred pinned Anton against the wall, this time he pressed harder on Anton, then looked a bit embarrassedly at Lizzie.
“Sorry, I didn’t expect him to suddenly burst out with so much force. Ms. Trevino, are you okay?”
He sounded familiar, not at all like a formal greeting.
Terrence, who couldn’t get close to Lizzie because of the cold, also reached out and grabbed the handles of her wheelchair, pulling her away from the doorway
He gave Jarred a cold/glance.
Jarred felt a chill down his back, then he roughly twisted Anton’s arm and escorted him out.

Johanna blinked as she watched Terrence and Jarred’s reactions.
The relationship between these three people is a bit strange!
Not like strangers at all!
Johanna’s gaze was fixed firmly on Terrence’s cold and stern face.
Suddenly, a scene rushed into her mind like a tidal wave.
It’s him!
Johanna’s body started shaking uncontrollably.
That day, she pushed Lizzie towards a speeding Jeep to stop her from going to the archives to look up files.
In the end, Theron gave up Lizzie to save her.
She thought Lizzie would be hit by the car, but the car suddenly swerved and crashed into the nearby utility pole.
Lizzie didn’t die in that car accident, she just got her leg injured!
She pretended her leg was injured, acting like it hurt a lot, to distract Theron.
At that time, Theron was holding her, with his back to Lizzie, not seeing anything.
But she was in Theron’s arms, looking towards Lizzie.
She saw the first person to get off the car that almost took Lizzie’s life was this cold–faced, intimidating man!
They had known each other for a long time!
Terrence pushed Lizzie to the side of the desk, a little distance away

from Johanna.
