Chapter 1133 How Dare You
Gina personally handed the fake Dragon's Spine to Nicole.
"Nicole, this is a priceless object. You have to use it well. It would be a pity if it goes to waste."
Nicole nodded and lowered her head to take a glance at the Dragon's Spine in the box. She didn't suspect anything
since it looked the same as it did a few years ago.
"Alright. Thank you, Gina." She placed the Dragon's Spine aside.
Dragon's Spine herbs were incredibly hard to find, and this one definitely had to be used wisely. But if it could
suppress the voodoo in his body as described in the book, Colton could at least suffer less until she found a way to
break the curse.
Nicole spent almost the entire afternoon in the research center, constantly experimenting with the Dragon's Spine
in her hand. However, every attempt failed without exception.

She was puzzled by this. She couldn't understand why she kept failing even though her master had told her before
about the effectiveness of the Dragon's Spine.
As Nicole carefully examined the Dragon's Spine in her hand, she suddenly noticed something amiss.
Dragon's Spine was named so because it twisted into a spiral shape resembling an animal spine, hence the name.
Outsiders believed that Dragon's Spine was a plant, but in reality, it was formed by two worms— one male and one
female—intertwined and buried underground for many years.
The rarity of the Dragon's Spine was because it was a plant that required the coupling of a male and a female
worm to form. However, the Dragon's Spine in her hand was strangely withered. It even resembled an ordinary
plant.
Nicole's eyes dimmed when she thought about this. She then started to examine the Dragon's Spine.
After a series of tests, she could confirm that the object in her hand was not the Dragon's Spine at all. It was just a
plant that resembled its shape.
Upon learning this, Nicole felt her temper rise. However, she clenched the object tightly and held in her anger for

the time being.
Gina might be unaware of this.
Thinking of this, Nicole took a deep breath and went to Gina's office with the Dragon's Spine. Just as she was about
to enter the door, she heard a conversation coming from inside.
"Ms. Feuer, this was sent here from the science academy. Please take a look."
Gina took the exquisite gift box and opened it. Upon seeing its contents, she couldn't help but burst into laughter,
"Ryan sure knows my preferences. He specially sent me this set of Wedgwood tea set that I love."
"Yes, the science academy has always been concerned about your situation. Please don't worry, Ms. Feuer."
Science academy? Ryan?!
Nicole couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Her master had always been at odds with the Yaels, which was why the research center and the science academy

had never had any dealings with each other.
Not only she, but the entire medical industry was aware of this feud.
So why would Gina, as the temporary manager of the research center, have any interactions with people from the
science academy?
Nicole immediately pushed open the door, her gaze falling on the tea set in Gina's hands.
Startled by Nicole's sudden entrance, Gina looked around nervously as she put the tea set on the table.
"Nicole! W-Why are you here?" Gina asked awkwardly.
As Nicole quickly approached her, her clear eyes narrowed as she scrutinized Gina from head to toe. "Gina, where
did this tea set come from?"
Gina had no idea if Nicole had overheard their conversation earlier, so she could only respond as guilt washed over
her. "It was a gift from a friend. I liked it, so I accepted it."
"Friend? Which friend?" Nicole pressed while getting closer.
Seeing Nicole's attitude, Gina couldn't help but get irritated. "Nicole, what are you trying to do?"
Nicole sneered and fixed her gaze on Gina. "Gina, our master had a deep-seated grudge against the Yale Family,
but you, on behalf of the research center, are in contact with the science academy? How could you!"
