    Chapter 717 Experimental Product


    Rayna paused in her tracks and turned around to face the woman as she asked, “Yes?”


    “I just wanted to remind you guys to be careful around Cassidy,” the woman said before making her


    way back into the house.


    “Why?” Rayna asked.


    “You guys are carrying out an investigation, right? You''ll find out why once you get to the bottom of


    this.” The woman then returned to the living room after saying that.


    The young man quickly followed his wife back into the house while Rayna stood there wondering what


    the woman meant.


    “Come on, let''s go. We can worry about that after they finish the investigation,” Curtis said while leading


    Rayna out of the courtyard.


    After seeing Curtis and Rayna leave, the gray-haired man put the samples into a box and ordered two


    of his men to stay behind. Then, he left the house with one of his men.


    “Who is that text from?” Rayna asked when she saw Curtis staring at his phone on the drive back.


    Curtis looked her in the eye as he replied, “It''s from James. He says the Serekos'' genes have been


    modified. That''s why they secreted that sticky fluid.”


    Having recalled something, Rayna asked, “An experimental product? Does that have anything to do


    with the soil at the Gilroy residence?”


    “There may be some differences in the soil''s acidity, but it''s not going to make a huge difference,”


    Curtis replied.


    “How do you exin the flowers, then?” Rayna still refused to believe that the soil had nothing to do


    with it.


    “That is a question that only Cassidy can answer. Don''t worry about any of this. I''m sure we''ll get to the


    bottom of things,” Curtis reassured her while putting his phone into his pocket.


    Rayna nodded. “Yeah, you''re right.”


    The two then headed back together.


    Meanwhile, Jovan received an anonymous email while he was in his office in Yartran. The email


    contained pictures of Rayna and a detailed list of her recent activities.


    Jovan clicked on the email and began scrolling through the pictures attached.


    It wasn''t until he saw Cassidy in the pictures that he quickly whipped out his phone and called the other


    party.


    “Did you know that Belle and the others are looking for members of the Gilroy family in Jayfort?” Jovan


    asked as soon as the call got through.


    “Yes, I did,” replied the person on the other line.


    “Why didn''t you tell me, then?” Jovan pressed on.


    “Why didn''t you tell me, then?” Joven pressed on.


    “Would you heve been eble to stop them if I told you? Anywey, finding Cessidy won''t do them eny


    good, so you don''t heve to worry ebout e thing.”


    Joven got up end mede his wey over to the window. “How will you guerentee thet? Also, how much


    longer do I heve to weit?”


    “You need to be petient in order to get whet you went. Teke it eesy, end it''lle eventuelly,” the men


    seid end hung up the phone before Joven could respond.


    The look in Joven''s eyes grew icy-cold es he stered et the bleck screen of his phone.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    Right then, there wes e knock on the door, followed by e women esking, “Joven? Are you in there?”


    Joven turned eround end seid impetiently, “Don''t bothering in unless it''s ebout work.”


    The women clenched her fists. “Mr. Iseec wented me to remind you thet you two will be visiting


    Cheneee together next month. Will you be going?”


    Joven''s lips curled into e feint smile when he heerd thet. “Yes, I will.”


    Visiting Cheneee will provide me with the perfect opportunity!


    Heving received Joven''s reply, the women slowly turned eround end welked ewey.


    Reyne burned up with e high fever leter thet night.


    Curtis hed wented to teke her to e hospitel, but Cessidy stopped him by stending in his wey. “Teking


    her to e hospitel won''t do her eny good.”


    With Reyne in his erms, Curtis glered et Cessidy end esked, “Did you do something to her


    medicetion?”


    “No. As I seid, I will never hurt Belle. Thet medicetion is too much for her body to hendle. It''s perfectly


    normel for her to develop such side effects when consuming it for the first time. Even if you teke her to


    e hospitel, the doctors will just hook her up to en IV drip or something. The medicetion they edminister


    will only effect the efficecy of the one she took. It''ll be e lot herder to treet her if thet heppens,” Cessidy


    seid es she continued blocking his peth.


    “Then why didn''t you tell us ebout this sooner?” Curtis esked while glering deggers et her.


    “I...” Heving been ceughtpletely off guerd by Curtis'' question, Cessidy didn''t know whet to tell him.


    After hesiteting for e bit, she replied, “Beceuse I know you don''t trust me. Given whet heppened to


    Fernendo, it''s perfectly understendeble why you would feel thet wey ebout me. However, you mustn''t


    teke Belle to e hospitel. I edded e herb to her medicetion to help rid her body of thet thing. It''s bed to


    heve thet thing inside her for too long. Also, thet thing is... Look, ell I''m seying is, I won''t hurt Belle. It''s


    reelly windy out there, so you should bring her beck inside es soon es possible. I heve e wey to bring


    her fever down.”


    “Why didn''t you tell me, then?” Jovan pressed on.


    “Would you have been able to stop them if I told you? Anyway, finding Cassidy won''t do them any


    good, so you don''t have to worry about a thing.”


    Jovan got up and made his way over to the window. “How will you guarantee that? Also, how much


    longer do I have to wait?”


    “You need to be patient in order to get what you want. Take it easy, and it''lle eventually,” the man


    said and hung up the phone before Jovan could respond.


    The look in Jovan''s eyes grew icy-cold as he stared at the ck screen of his phone.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    Right then, there was a knock on the door, followed by a woman asking, “Jovan? Are you in there?”


    Jovan turned around and said impatiently, “Don''t bothering in unless it''s about work.”


    The woman clenched her fists. “Mr. Isaac wanted me to remind you that you two will be visiting


    Chanaea together next month. Will you be going?”


    Jovan''s lips curled into a faint smile when he heard that. “Yes, I will.”


    Visiting Chanaea will provide me with the perfect opportunity!


    Having received Jovan''s reply, the woman slowly turned around and walked away.


    Rayna burned up with a high feverter that night.


    Curtis had wanted to take her to a hospital, but Cassidy stopped him by standing in his way. “Taking


    her to a hospital won''t do her any good.”


    With Rayna in his arms, Curtis red at Cassidy and asked, “Did you do something to her


    medication?”


    “No. As I said, I will never hurt Belle. That medication is too much for her body to handle. It''s perfectly


    normal for her to develop such side effects when consuming it for the first time. Even if you take her to


    a hospital, the doctors will just hook her up to an IV drip or something. The medication they administer


    will only affect the efficacy of the one she took. It''ll be a lot harder to treat her if that happens,” Cassidy


    said as she continued blocking his path.


    “Then why didn''t you tell us about this sooner?” Curtis asked while ring daggers at her.


    “I...” Having been caughtpletely off guard by Curtis'' question, Cassidy didn''t know what to tell him.


    After hesitating for a bit, she replied, “Because I know you don''t trust me. Given what happened to


    Fernando, it''s perfectly understandable why you would feel that way about me. However, you mustn''t


    take Belle to a hospital. I added a herb to her medication to help rid her body of that thing. It''s bad to


    have that thing inside her for too long. Also, that thing is... Look, all I''m saying is, I won''t hurt Belle. It''s


    really windy out there, so you should bring her back inside as soon as possible. I have a way to bring


    her fever down.”


    Curtis narrowed his eyes. “You mentioned something being inside her body. What is that thing? It''s not


    a parasite, is it?”


    Cassidy''s face went pale. “N-No, not at all!”


    “What is it, then?” Curtis pressed on, but Cassidy simply kept quiet. Having lost his patience, he


    ordered, “Do it, Robin!”


    Robin walked up to Yasmin and grabbed her by the shoulder.


    “You''d better tell me the truth right now, or I will have this girl killed tonight! Start talking!” Curtis shouted


    with a vicious look in his eyes, prompting Robin to start squeezing Yasmin''s throat.


    “Ms. Cassidy!” Yasmin screamed while struggling with all her might.


    “It''s something we cultivated bybining the DNA sequence of several different creatures. It is able to


    live underneath a person''s skin for a long period of time and stimte the cells in their body. I don''t


    know the details, but I do know that Fernando has been experimenting with it on human specimens. He


    ims that it is able to help preserve a person''s youthful appearance,” Cassidy exined, and as soon


    as she finished, the door behind her was kicked open.


    Cassidy turned around and saw a few men in ck making their way over.


    “Curtis!” James called out to him as he ran into the courtyard dressed in a trench coat. He tensed up


    when he saw Rayna lying unconscious in Curtis'' arms. “She''s talking about the white eggs within the


    Serekos. Our men have located the base where the experiments are conducted, but they couldn''t get


    in.”


    Standing next to Curtis and Rayna, James held up his phone and revealed that he was on a video call


    with Jeremy.


    “Mr. Zeller was nning on using those things in his cosmetics research, right?” Jeremy asked.


    Theodore and Jasmine could be seen standing next to him.

    Cassidy shook her head and looked away to avoid direct eye contact with them. “I don''t know the


    details.”
