INICIAR SESIÓNIn the CEO's office of Sloan Group, Camilla had just finished following up on the clinical trials for the drug. Taking a break, she massaged her forehead.Suddenly, her phone chimed. Frowning, she took a look at it, annoyed."Angela? Why did she send me this message?" Camilla mumbled.Based on the time, Jeremy should've been at the estate since yesterday. How could his deal with Jane be called off?Furthermore, Camilla didn't have the guts to check on Jeremy. She was scared that Jeremy wouldn't get her the cure if she were caught.Camilla replied, "You wouldn't stop getting in my way at the estate, so what's your problem now?"Angela quickly replied with an image. Camilla opened it and saw that it was a picture of two ladies in casual clothes standing beneath the sun. They had ordinary faces that wouldn't draw much attention on the streets.However, their gazes were sharp, and they were both clutching something at their waist. At the hem of their shirts, Camilla caught sight of
Jeremy said, "Ms. Cooper, about the deal we made…" Hearing that, Jane returned to her senses and clicked her tongue. "What about it?"You were the one who went against your word, and you still want to continue with our previous deal? I told you to tell me your request back at the estate, and you refused to, saying you wanted to save it for later."She rolled her eyes at Jeremy. "You should've held onto it when you had the chance. Why wait at all?"After saying that, she leaned against the coffee table between them. Anyone who knew her well would've been shocked to see her so friendly and talkative.Be it during meals or tea time, she had always acted nonchalant, leaning back into her chair and barely participating in the discussion.Jeremy was also surprised to see that Jane wasn't as unreasonable as he had heard. After some thought, Jeremy asked, "Then, can I make a new request right now?"Just as Jane was about to respond, she spotted a figure passing by the window. The windo
The bowl Angela was holding fell to the floor with a loud crash. She froze, a chill running down her spine.Suddenly, Angela remembered what she had heard from the people from Jasmere. They said that Jane never forgot a grudge.However, all Jeremy did was stand her up. Surely she wouldn't have held a grudge over such a tiny misstep, would she? However, Jeremy was elated. "Um, Ms. Larson? Can you tell her to wait for me in the break room? I'll be there right away."Wendy nodded and whispered, "Just call me Wendy. Then, I'll be off."Jeremy nodded. "Got it."Once Wendy left the room, Jeremy immediately pulled the IV out of his hand. After applying some pressure to stop the bleeding, he slowly got out of bed.However, just as he was about to put on his shoes, a sweet fragrance overwhelmed his senses. Angela placed her hand on his shoulder."You just woke up, and the effects of the drug haven't worn off yet, so why don't you have another bowl of oatmeal? In the meantime, let me de
"Take a bite. It's been more than a day since you last ate, so you must be starving," Angela said.Jeremy sighed and reached out for the bowl of oatmeal. "Mr. Moore, I—"Angela pulled the bowl out of his reach. "I told you to stop addressing me so formally."Suddenly, Jeremy remembered what she said before he passed out. "A-Angela?" he said awkwardly."That's right." Angela smiled and leaned forward to pass him the bowl.Jeremy caught her scent. Combined with the scent of food, it smelled especially alluring.Now that Jeremy had regained some energy, he reached out to take the bowl from her. "Let me eat by myself."Angela gave in and loosened her grip, letting him hold the bowl. Soon, the bowl was emptied.With his hunger satiated, Jeremy felt much more awake. He looked at Angela and said with a bitter smile, "Ms. Moore, you've completely ruined my plans."I wanted to go to the estate for two reasons. The first was to look for my sister, and the second was because I promised t
Everything went black for Jeremy. His head felt heavy.He never thought that Angela would drug him. It didn't make any sense.Was it because he didn't ask Jane to help her regain Moore Group? Angela herself told him he didn't need to.As compensation, Jeremy even agreed to return to the clinic with her. It was also why Jeremy had obeyed her every command, agreeing to interview potential hires and perform surgeries whenever she asked.After some time, a cold sensation against his face woke Jeremy up. It took a lot of effort for him to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the bright sunlight streaming in through the window.The first thing he felt was relief. It was morning, so he still had time to rush over to the estate.Yet when he tried to sit up, his body wouldn't budge. He felt weak and exhausted.It reminded him of a drug that was used to treat depression. It wouldn't cause any harm in the short term and worked well as a sleeping aid.However, the person who took
Harriet had also stopped being so controlling over Camilla. Now that she knew Jeremy took even better care of her daughter than she did, she was at ease.It was fine if Camilla was head over heels for Jeremy, but even Charlotte was losing sleep over him now. She couldn't lose both of her daughters to one man. What was this? A two-for-one deal? Harriet would never approve!She quickly patted the back of Charlotte's hand and said, "Charlotte, stay at the office with Camilla for the next couple of days and don't go anywhere, okay?"Instead of nodding, Charlotte asked Camilla one more time, "It'll only be ten days, right, Camilla? Will you really make up with Jem after ten days? But what if he doesn't want to make up?"Camilla froze, but she quickly regained her composure and said determinedly, "Ten days later, I will definitely make up with him and bring him home. Once Zachary recovers, I won't have to worry about agitating him anymore."Hearing that, Charlotte buried her face into
