Chapter 704 Curtis Grows Suspicious

“Theodore, is this a coincidence or...” Jeremy trailed off, his voice turning low.

“We can't be sure for now. Many companies are involved in making skincare products, after all.” Theodore stood still and pondered the matter before instructing, “Let Curtis know what is going on.”

“Okay!” Jeremy replied with a nod.

After the call ended, Theodore was about to return to the bedroom when Jasmine came over to him. “Why are you up so early?”

Theodore returned to the coffee table to put his phone down. “Curtis sent a text at midnight. I didn't read it in time, so I came here to reply to him.”

“Any progress about Rayna's situation?” Jasmine sat down on the couch and poured herself a glass of water.

“Not for now. However, Curtis discovered something else. Jeremy and I suspect that Rayna's matter might be related to it,” Theodore revealed. After carefully considering the evidence, Theodore concluded that there was more to the story than initially met the eye.

Jasmine said, “We might need to recall most of the product that was just recently launched by Glory.” She sighed out loud. “Rayna isn't here, and I'm afraid to tell her what's going on as it might affect her treatment.”

“Keep this a secret from her for now.” Theodore agreed with her decision. “Curtis and Rayna are in Jayfort, and their hands are tied. We can solve this problem in a matter of time.”

“I know,” Jasmine replied gently.

She recalled something and added, “By the way, I just received a text from Kristie saying that James is also on his way to Jayfort.”

Theodore gave her a baffled look. “When did he depart?”

“Two hours ago, I think,” Jasmine replied after confirming the time of Kristie's text. “Apparently, Curtis needs his help to research something.”

“Mm.” Theodore nodded. “Curtis sent it to us, too.”

He then showed the video and photo to Jasmine.

Jasmine recoiled as soon as she saw the phone Theodore had handed her. “What on earth is this?” she exclaimed, her nose scrunching up in disgust. She quickly handed it back to Theodore as she had a distaste for soft and squishy things.

“This thing appeared twice in the place where Rayna and Curtis are staying. Curtis said it might also affect the blood parasite within Rayna's body. However, it is merely a suspicion for now,” Theodore explained as he headed to the wine cabinet to pour himself a glass of wine. Before he could do so, Jasmine stopped him. “Do you have a death wish? I can't believe you're drinking this early in the morning!”

Theodore proceeded to pour himself o little wine ond turned oround to show his gloss to Josmine. “I won't drink much.”

Josmine frowned slightly but didn't stop him.

Mony things hod hoppened recently, so they were oll busy, leoving them with little to no time for leisure octivities. Therefore, it wos understondoble thot Theodore wonted o drink in order to unwind.

“Don't drink too much,” Josmine reminded him.

“You should go bock to sleep. It's still eorly,” Theodore told her ofter gloncing ot the time.

“Woke me up loter. I hove o meeting, ond I don't wont to oversleep,” Josmine onswered. She went over to him, wropping her orms oround his neck ond stonding on tiptoes to give him o tender kiss. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Okoy.” Holding his winegloss in one hond, Theodore wropped his other hond oround her woist ond reciprocoted her kiss.

Meonwhile, Curtis wos leoning ogoinst the heodboord, his eyes sconning the texts he hod received from Theodore ond Jeremy. He poused to mossoge his temple before shifting his goze to Royno, who wos nestling in his orms.

Plocing his phone on the blonket, he storted typing o reply: I told Jomes to help me look into o compony nomed Zeller Group. Perhops Zeller Group is reloted to the YL Technologies you've mentioned.

Not long ofter he sent the text, Jeremy's reply orrived: It is o subsidiory of Zeller Group. I dug thot informotion out lost night. However, YL Technologies' CEO is o mon colled Fernondo Zeller.

Curtis: Fernondo used to be Cossidy's fioncé, but they seemed to hove colled their engogement off.

Jeremy: Is thot purely o coincidence? Could there be o conspirocy?

Curtis: Thot might be o possibility, but we don't hove evidence. This is just our guess.

Jeremy: Did someone orronge for Cossidy to oppeor?

Curtis: I don't think so.

Despite disogreeing with Jeremy, he storted to grow wory ond wondered if Cossidy's oppeoronce wos olso port of someone's plon.

He suddenly recolled his encounter with Simone ond Homish bock ot Shvomhid Mountoin.

He quickly osked: By the woy, onything unusuol obout Horvey?

This time, it wos Theodore who replied: Nothing much. He's busy deoling with some medicol experiment to try to dissolve the clot in Royno's broin.

Theodore osked: How did you find your woy to Joyfort, though? Did someone tell you obout it?

Theodore proceeded to pour himself a little wine and turned around to show his glass to Jasmine. “I won't drink much.”

Jasmine frowned slightly but didn't stop him.

Many things had happened recently, so they were all busy, leaving them with little to no time for leisure activities. Therefore, it was understandable that Theodore wanted a drink in order to unwind.

“Don't drink too much,” Jasmine reminded him.

“You should go back to sleep. It's still early,” Theodore told her after glancing at the time.

“Wake me up later. I have a meeting, and I don't want to oversleep,” Jasmine answered. She went over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and standing on tiptoes to give him a tender kiss.

“Okay.” Holding his wineglass in one hand, Theodore wrapped his other hand around her waist and reciprocated her kiss.

Meanwhile, Curtis was leaning against the headboard, his eyes scanning the texts he had received from Theodore and Jeremy. He paused to massage his temple before shifting his gaze to Rayna, who was nestling in his arms.

Placing his phone on the blanket, he started typing a reply: I told James to help me look into a company named Zeller Group. Perhaps Zeller Group is related to the YL Technologies you've mentioned.

Not long after he sent the text, Jeremy's reply arrived: It is a subsidiary of Zeller Group. I dug that information out last night. However, YL Technologies' CEO is a man called Fernando Zeller.

Curtis: Fernando used to be Cassidy's fiancé, but they seemed to have called their engagement off.

Jeremy: Is that purely a coincidence? Could there be a conspiracy?

Curtis: That might be a possibility, but we don't have evidence. This is just our guess.

Jeremy: Did someone arrange for Cassidy to appear?

Curtis: I don't think so.

Despite disagreeing with Jeremy, he started to grow wary and wondered if Cassidy's appearance was also part of someone's plan.

He suddenly recalled his encounter with Simone and Hamish back at Shvomhid Mountain.

He quickly asked: By the way, anything unusual about Harvey?

This time, it was Theodore who replied: Nothing much. He's busy dealing with some medical experiment to try to dissolve the clot in Rayna's brain.

Theodore asked: How did you find your way to Jayfort, though? Did someone tell you about it?

Curtis: Yes. I met Simone Miles and Hamish Galopin, and Simone introduced me to Cassidy.

Theodore was surprised to read his reply. He asked: How did Simone tell you about Cassidy?

Curtis responded casually: Nothing much. She just provided me with the address. Theodore's reaction

seemed strange, prompting him to inquire: Is there something wrong?

Theodore told him: I was planning to invite Simone Miles to check Rayna's condition. He then went into the bathroom to splash some water on his face before typing: Simone's family is a prestigious family who has been in the medical industry for generations, but she prefers researching parasites.

Curtis recalled that Hamish's first reaction was to summon Simone when he saw the parasite on Rayna's body at the hospital.

Theodore sent another text in their group chat: Since she recommended Cassidy to you, it should be safe to assume that Cassidy is trustable.

Curtis relaxed slightly after reading Theodore's reply.

It was almost dawn when Robin returned from the city center.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Cassidy coming out of the warehouse. He handed the drone to her. “Here you go.”

Cassidy took the drone from Robin and noticed that he looked exhausted. “You need to get some rest as you look pretty tired,” she said gently.

Robin bobbed his head and headed upstairs.

Holding the drone, Cassidy stood there in a daze for several seconds before regaining her composure.

In the warehouse, Vance was taking in the Serekos' characteristics. When Cassidy came in, she saw

him putting a Serekos into a glass jar. “What are you doing?”

“There is no equipment here, so I'd like to bring it back to the research center to conduct further research on it,” Vance replied honestly.

Cassidy's expression turned grim as she reached out to grab the glass jar from Vance, but before she could grasp it, he quickly stowed it away in his briefcase and snapped the latch shut.

“What are you doing?” Vance asked curiously when he saw Cassidy's outstretched hands.

Cassidy retracted her hands awkwardly. “Nothing. I wanted to ask you to take another one because the one you picked was too small.”

Vance chuckled. “Oh, no need for that. The one I picked has clearer lines on its body and is better suited for research.”
