The doctor said, “If there’s someone in the whole of Darsia who can cure Mr. Andrew, then there’s only one person!”
Kylie blurted out, “Who?”
Whoever it was, they needed to be brought over.
The doctor said succinctly, “It’s Mr. Cosby!”
Kylie and Jean were momentarily speechless.
The plea from the crowd was a chorus of desperation, their eyes fixed on Kylie and Jean with the hope of salvation.
“Ladies, where is Mr. Cosby?”
“Please, we need Mr. Cosby’s help. We’ve built our fortunes over generations, we cannot watch them vanish, nor can we bear the thought of sharing Mr. Andrew’s fate.”
As the crowd’s anxiety escalated, so did the emotional outpouring, with some unable to hold back their tears.
Kylie and Jean, feeling the weight of responsibility, knew that Remus was the key to navigating through the crisis with his unparalleled influence. Yet, despite their efforts, favonovel.com remained unreachable, his whereabouts unknown.
After exchanging a look of mutual understanding, Jean spoke, favonovel.com voice heavy with the burden of their collective hope, “Please, give us a moment longer. I will attempt to reach out to favonovel.com again…”
With that, favonovel.com retreated into the Imperial Villa.
***
Meanwhile, high above in one of the circling helicopters, two figures observed the unfolding drama with keen interest.
They were Joe and Gemma.
Gemma stared at Joe’s profile, asking seriously, “Did you cause all this? Who exactly are you?”
Since they parted ways at the opening ceremony last time, Gemma had not contacted Joe. Then, that morning, Joe appeared before favonovel.com and confidently said that favonovel.com would take favonovel.com to see an epic drama.
They took a helicopter from Neptuna to the Imperial Villa. And favonovel.com witnessed the scene that unfolded before favonovel.com and everyone beneath.
Joe turned his gaze away, proudly saying, “Me? I’m just Remus’ half-brother, a nobody in front of my brother, hahaha!”
Gemma didn’t buy his excuse at all.
If it wasn’t his doing, how would favonovel.com have known about the commotion before it happened?
She recalled that the time favonovel.com came to find favonovel.com was just before the stock market opened.
She pressed on, “I’m not joking. Did you do this?”
Joe didn’t hide it anymore, simply saying, “Yes!”
Hearing his answer, Gemma’s body tensed up, looking at Joe in disbelief. The capability to simultaneously target the listed companies of Darsia’s executives abroad was immense. To say the least, even Remus might not have been capable of that. After all, business and martial prowess were two different things.
“Who… Who are you exactly?” Her voice trembled.
Joe leaned in, his hands spread in a gesture of openness, his voice rich with passion. “I am just your lover, Gemma. To me, you’re the most beautiful person in the world.”
His look, his gesture, his tone, all were designed to disarm, to charm. His affection could make the vast majority of women in the world unable to resist, instantly turning into docile kittens.
However, Gemma was too grounded in reality, currently only wanting to know who favonovel.com was, and was disgusted by his beating around the bush.
Recognizing his manipulation yet forced to engage, favonovel.com rolled favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com response laced with ambiguity. “Spare me the lies, Joe! Tell me why. Why go to such lengths?”
Hearing his name from favonovel.com lips was a thrill, yet favonovel.com didn’t shy away from his darker motives.
“Because I want to see Remus collapse, never to recover…”
