CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 251: STEPPING INTO DECLAN PIERCE’S DANGER ZONE

Senior Apprentice Cameron Wenworth has his own laboratory, engaged in research on new environmentally friendly materials.

In the afternoon, Tanya Sinclair brought the sachet over for a visit.

Cutting open the sachet, besides some familiar Chinese herbs, there were white and red powders inside, the specific components of which required further analysis.

Cameron Wenworth put on lab gloves, and by touch and smell, he made a preliminary judgment in his mind.

"This is from Joy’s sachet?" he reminded Tanya Sinclair, "Although it will take some time to test the specific components, children should really avoid contact with this kind of chemical."

Tanya Sinclair felt a bit weary.

"Cindy gave it to her, and not just one."

Cameron Wenworth: "...You’d better remind Vincent Hawthorne then."

"Mm, senior, I’ll leave this to you."

"Okay, I’ll hurry. Once the results come out, I’ll contact you immediately."

Leaving Cameron Wenworth’s laboratory, Tanya Sinclair drove back to Westgard Pharmaceuticals. There was still some wrapping up work left here, and just as she entered the department and passed by the pantry, she saw several female colleagues gossiping.

"Manager Sinclair." After working with Tanya Sinclair for a while, they became familiar and were increasingly casual with her.

"What are you chatting about, so lively?" Tanya Sinclair was a bit curious.

A lively one approached with the gossip headlines on her phone to show Tanya Sinclair.

"Team Leader Sinclair, our big boss President Pierce got photographed again, with that Ms. Winslow! He was accompanying Ms. Winslow shopping!"

Tanya Sinclair looked over; the screen showed the entrance of a luxury ready-to-wear store.

Wynn Winslow was dressed in a slim blue dress, turning back with a smile to look at Declan Pierce beside her. Declan was only captured in a profile silhouette, his features as defined as a sculpture, inscrutable in emotion, but he was holding a women’s bag, clearly Wynn’s.

The excited chatter from her colleagues buzzed in her ears.

"Wasn’t President Pierce photographed with Ms. Winslow when they returned to the country last time? Before, President Pierce never appeared in gossip news even once, and now he’s been caught twice in a month. Probably, the Pierce Family has tacitly approved of these photos being circulated."

"Of course, they’ve approved. Ms. Winslow is the most beloved youngest daughter of The Shipping Magnate’s family; her mother is a bona fide princess! They’re well matched, and maybe the news of a union is coming soon! This is just a warm-up."

"Team Leader Sinclair, what do you think?"

"..." Tanya Sinclair shifted her gaze from the screen, away from Declan’s figure, and smiled, "I’m not sure. Get back to work."

The female colleagues, holding their cups, returned to their workstations as Tanya Sinclair went back to her office. Just as she sat down and opened her computer, a call from Declan Pierce came in.

Tanya Sinclair answered, "President Pierce."

Hearing this title, Declan was noticeably silent for two seconds on the other end.

"At the company?"

"Mm."

"I’ll pick you up after work, let’s have dinner together."

Tanya Sinclair: "Caden is staying with me now, I have to pick him up after school. If you don’t mind, you can come directly to my house, it’ll be easier to talk there."

She wanted to discuss her grandfather’s matter with Declan, which wasn’t really suitable to talk about outside.

Declan chuckled lightly, "Alright, I’ll come over. You pick up Caden; I’ll buy groceries and come."

Tanya Sinclair inexplicably had the absurd feeling of a mom picking up the child while dad goes to the market...

She was about to speak when she first heard a faint female voice from the other end of the line.

"Second Brother, do you think this one looks good?"

It carried a hint of a little girl acting spoiled.

Tanya Sinclair: "..."

It was Wynn Winslow; it seemed only she would call Declan that way.

"Then President Pierce, you go ahead with your business, I also have matters to handle here, I’ll hang up now." Tanya Sinclair finished and hung up without waiting for Declan to speak again.

On the other end, Declan sat on the sofa, looking at the terminated call, his dark eyes like deep wells.

"Second Brother, why are you ignoring me!" Wynn Winslow was already at his side, reaching her hand towards his arm.

Declan flicked his hand, leaving her grasping air.

Wynn Winslow was displeased, "Second Brother!"

Declan: "It’s almost time, Janne Hayes will take you to the airport."

"Second Brother, do you really want me to leave!" Wynn Winslow’s face was full of displeasure.

Declan spoke flatly, "I promised to accompany you shopping, on the condition that you go home immediately after. Wynn, don’t play these coy little girl games with me."

As he said the last part, Declan’s expression didn’t change, but his tone clearly went colder by a couple of degrees.

Deep down, Wynn Winslow was afraid of Declan.

In fact, not many people weren’t afraid of Declan...

"Second Brother, don’t be mad. I didn’t say I wouldn’t go, I just wanted to see you more, spend a little more time with you..." she said softly, "Second Brother, have one more meal with me, and after that, you can take me to the airport, alright?"

Declan directly refused.

"I have someone to meet tonight."

Wynn Winslow persisted: "Who has such importance? Just cancel it~"

"Janne Hayes is here already, I’m leaving now." Declan’s patience was exhausted, he stood up and headed out, and the service staff at the door immediately handed him his coat.

Declan accepted it, nodding slightly in courtesy, and strode out.

Wynn Winslow angrily chased after him, "Second Brother, is it that Tanya Sincl... Ah!"

Before the last word was out, Declan’s previously calm face turned cold to the point of freezing, and he grabbed Wynn Winslow’s arm swiftly.

Janne Hayes, who had arrived, also heard the unfinished name from Wynn Winslow, his heart racing in fear.

He didn’t dare to interfere, only watching as Declan unceremoniously dragged Wynn Winslow into the VIC room.

Wynn Winslow was thrown onto the sofa.

For the first time, she saw such a terrifying Declan, and was quite frightened.

"Second Brother..."

Declan’s expression was chilling, exuding a menacing ruthlessness, "In the future, don’t let me hear anything about her from your mouth. Don’t even try to approach her. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee the consequences."

Janne Hayes, standing guard at the door, saw Declan come out with a frosty face, and his suspended heart fell back into his chest.

President Pierce could be patient with Ms. Winslow for the sake of The Shipping Magnate, but the premise is... not crossing his red line.

"Send her away!" Declan left behind cold words as he passed Janne Hayes.
