Ivan flashed a bitter smile. “Ah, we have no choice. Who knew that Jack would pull a stunt like this, getting the nine Gods of War to come for his wedding!”
Cecilia thought for a while, then favonovel.com asked, “So you’re saying that the eight other Gods of War are all at his wedding because they wanted to boost his reputation? They’re not here because they wanted to see Lana?”
Ivan was speechless for a moment. “Of course. They could have seen favonovel.com at any time they wanted. Why would they choose today, of all days? They’re here because of Jack!”
“But how does a good-for-nothing like Jack, know such people? No way that favonovel.com saved all of their lives before, in addition to Lana’s!”
Cecilia huffed. She really could not understand why the Gods of War would come from afar for the sake of Jack’s reputation—just to attend his and Selena’s wedding.
“That man isn’t a good-for-nothing. Besides, you’re right on the nail. With his medical skills, he’s become the designated doctor for the Gods of War. Jack had helped to cure them when they sustained injuries. That was why they came here for his wedding. They rushed over once they knew that favonovel.com was having a wedding!”
Ivan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “F*ck that b*stard. He really managed to do a good job hiding his identity. No wonder favonovel.com had the money to buy the Heart of the Abyss. With his status, favonovel.com probably hasn’t even received his bonus after favonovel.com came back.”
“I don’t care. I just want to see favonovel.com die. Didn’t you say that your girlfriend, Xena fed favonovel.com the poison? Why isn’t favonovel.com showing the slightest symptoms till now? I’m getting impatient. Why isn’t favonovel.com dead yet?”
Cecilia was so furious that favonovel.com stamped favonovel.com foot. She looked at the huge screen opposite favonovel.com hotel—at Jack and Selena, who were drinking along with the Gods of War and Old Man Taylor. Her throat constricted.
“I don’t know either. Jeez. I had seen favonovel.com just a few days ago. He told me that favonovel.com was feeling extremely unwell. I don’t know why he’s still standing there and drinking wine as though favonovel.com were perfectly fine. Logically speaking, even if favonovel.com doesn’t die anytime soon, favonovel.com shouldn’t be able to drink so merrily!”
As Ivan spoke into the phone, favonovel.com pulled out a cigarette and lit it. He was extremely doubtful.
Cecilia thought about it. “Maybe Xena lied to you?” favonovel.com said. “Women like favonovel.com are always up to no good. She’s only with you because favonovel.com wants your money. You shouldn’t believe someone like her!”
Ivan took a long drag from his cigarette, looking at Xena, who was drinking at a table. Then favonovel.com shook his head. “I don’t think so. She has no reason to lie to me about this. Besides, favonovel.com hates Jack so much that favonovel.com wants favonovel.com dead as soon as possible. She had perfect chances to poison Jack while favonovel.com was with Ben. No way that favonovel.com lied to me about this!”
After favonovel.com remained silent for a few seconds, favonovel.com made a guess. “Maybe this will be his last hurrah. It should be happening any time soon. Let’s wait for a bit. This is his last day. This is probably the calm before the storm!”
“All right. Don’t disappoint me!”
Cecilia hung up, huffing.
Ivan walked over to Xena’s side after the call ended. “Xena, are you sure that Jack drank that poison?” favonovel.com asked softly.
“Of course. I saw favonovel.com drink it with my own two eyes. How many times are you going to ask me about this?”
Xena was speechless for a moment. She felt that Ivan did not trust her.
