    Chapter 744 Secret In The Well


    Curtis stared at the pictures his subordinates sent him. The pictures depictedb equipment, including


    Petri dishes stained with an unknown blue liquid.


    Then he instructed coldly, “Be careful when packing those things up. Transport everything found inside


    the well to Mr. Xavier''s ce.”


    Concurrently, Yuna was watching the scene unfold on the balcony silently. Just as she was about to


    head inside the building, she saw Yasmin walking out. She grabbed Yasmin''s hand and said, “Let''s


    stay in the house. There''s nothing fun outside.”


    Yasmin wanted to check out what was happening but was forcefully brought into their bedroom.


    Upon hearing the sound of a closing door outside her room, Rayna stepped into the corridor and saw


    the girls'' figures. Then, she turned in the direction the girls came from, which she swiftly realized was


    the balcony.


    After reaching the balcony, she spotted a group of people ferrying various objects out of the well.


    In response, she went to the courtyard and asked Curtis a question. “What''s all this?”


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    With his hands in his pockets, he watched his subordinates lift containers out of the well. “Lab


    equipment, I believe. I''ve asked my subordinates to transport them to Norwal City so Theodore can


    analyze them.”


    Rayna opened one of the boxes and saw Petri dishes, some stained with an unknown substance.


    After that, she ambled to the dry well and peered inside. “These are all hauled out from the well?”


    “Yes. It would seem Cassidy hid quite a lot of secrets from us.” Curtis pulled her away from the well.


    “Did you learn anything new from the information Theodore and the others sent?”


    “I read through them multiple times and jotted down a few new thoughts about them in my notebook. I''ll


    tell you about it once we head inside.” As she watched the people in the courtyard busy about, she


    inquired, “Have they always been following us?” I don''t remember there being this many people here.


    Even after I recovered my eyesight, I only saw Robin and zero bodyguards.


    “Theodore and the others sent them. They arrivedst night,” exined Curtis.


    In response, Rayna turned to him. “Did you request more bodyguards because you''re worried?”


    He stroked her hair. “That''s right.” Until the matters regarding Cassidy and Andrew have been dealt


    with, I can''t help but remain wary.


    Sighing, shemented, “I don''t think it''s nice for us to rummage through Cassidy''s courtyard when


    she''s not around.” I always thought Cassidy was a victim because I didn''t want to consider the strong


    likelihood that she might be the culprit.


    When her train of thought ended there, she added, “I wonder how she''s doing right now at Mr. Zeller''s


    ce.”


    Curtis voiced his honest thoughts. “There''s no need for us to rush. I think Mr. Zeller still has ns for


    us. We''ll just have to wait.”


    Upon recalling the invitation, she nodded. “I suppose you''re right.”


    After James and Vance returned from the city center, they entered the courtyard and witnessed what


    was transpiring inside. Thetter asked, “What''s going on with thoseb apparatuses?”


    “There''s aboratory under the well,” a bodyguard disclosed. “It''s about fifteen square metersrge.”


    Vance exchanged a nce with James before proposing, “How about we take a look inside?”


    His instinct as a biology researcher told him there should be something interesting inside thatb.


    Rayna immediately rejected, “Don''t. Just let the bodyguards take pictures for you all.”


    “It''s fine. Besides, they aren''t professionals like us, so they won''t know if something is of value even if


    they''re looking at it. Let''s go, James.” As Vance spoke, he descended into the well.


    Before James could follow, Rayna stopped him. “One is enough. You shouldn''t go down there.”


    Seeing that James still refused to obey her, Curtis spat, “Listen to her, James.”


    In response, James glimpsed at Curtis'' grim expression and went to the side.


    Unbeknownst to everyone in the courtyard, a red dot had appeared on the second-floor balcony.


    Concurrently, on the balcony of a manor, a man was grinning as he stared at hisptop''s screen.


    Secondster, he stepped back into the building and handed theptop to the woman sitting on a bed.


    “Even though you tried to protect them the best you could, they still suspect you.”


    Cassidy was wrapped in a nket while her messy hair rested on her half-exposed shoulder. Staring at


    the screen coldly, she snapped, “Isn''t this what you wanted to see?”


    In response, he held her chin. “You always treat them warmly, so why do you act so cranky every time


    you''re at my ce?”


    ring at him coldly, she questioned, “I''ve given you what you wanted. Where''s Fernando?”


    “I''ve sent him to Norwal City.” The man brushed his coarse finger across her cheek. “Can''t you be more


    well-behaved asionally?”


    “You could''ve looked for another woman instead of me if you want that.” Cassidy pushed his hand


    away, grabbed the bathrobe on the bedside table, and tried to leave the bed.


    When she stood up, her legs shook so much that she almost copsed.


    Upon seeing that, the man strode forward and carried her into the bathroom.


    Back at the Gilroy residence, Vance saw a dirt-covered box at the bottom of the well. He epted a


    pair of gloves from a bodyguard, put them on, grabbed the box, and handed it to someone else.


    At that moment, he was standing inside the woodenboratory. Wow, this ce is incredibly well-


    insted. Even though it''s located under a well, there''s no sign of water leakage or mold.


    When he spotted a few small nts growing out of the gaps in the stone wall, his professional instinct


    spurred him to pick one up and put it into a sealed bag. He took onest nce at theboratory before


    leaving with the others.


    “What''s this, Vance?” James pointed at the dirt-covered box when he saw Vance climbing out of the


    well.


    “I don''t know. I haven''t opened it yet. When I picked it up, I heard something moving inside.” Upon


    removing his goggles and mask, Vance epted a plier from a bodyguard and cut the rusty lock on the


    box. Then he wiped the dirt on the box away and opened it.


    Rayna approached Vance with Curtis and saw a specimen of Arachrede inside. “This is an Arachrede.”


    In response, Curtis took an extra nce at the Arachrede kept inside the sealed ss bottle. “Are you


    sure?”


    “Yes. Now that I think about it, the nt inside the bag I saw in the police station was also Arachrede. I


    didn''t realize it immediately because it was iplete.”


    Without dy, Vancepared the nt inside the bottle to a picture of Arachrede on his phone.


    “She''s right.”


    “So the story that someone visited Shvomhid Mountain before was true,” James remarked.
