    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. Manypanies 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 ss of


    water.


    “Not for now. However, Curtis discovered something else. Jeremy and I suspect that Rayna''s matter


    might be rted 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 recentlyunched 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 eximed, 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 ce 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


    exined as he headed to the wine cab to pour himself a ss 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 a little wine and turned around to show his ss to Jasmine. “I


    won''t drink much.”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    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 ncing at the time.


    “Wake me upter. 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 winess 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.


    cing his phone on the nket, he started typing a reply: I told James to help me look into a


    company named Zeller Group. Perhaps Zeller Group is rted 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 outst 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 n.


    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 nning to invite Simone Miles to check Rayna''s condition. He then went into


    the bathroom to ssh 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 rmended Cassidy to you, it should be


    safe to assume that Cassidy is trustable.


    Curtis rxed 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 Cassidying 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 herposure.


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


    him putting a Serekos into a ss 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 ss jar from Vance, but before she


    could grasp it, he quickly stowed it away in his briefcase and snapped thetch 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.”
