Chapter 1838
Suspicious food?
Dawn and Nancy answered with certainty, “Most likely not. We''ve been having every meal with Lacey.
If there was something wrong with our food, then Lacey and Missy should have the same problems.”

Suddenly, Zeke thought of something. He asked anxiously, “Oh, right! Did you eat or drink anything
when you were at the United Group president''s office?”
Dawn knocked herself on the head lightly. “That''s right. I remember now. Robert invited us to have
dinner with him, but we rejected his offer. So he brought a bottle of wine and we drank a ss of it.
Could there be something wrong with the wine?”
Zeke smirked. “Hmph, the wine is definitely the problem.”
“Hold on,” Nancy chimed in. “Robert had a ss of it too. How is he okay?”
“Who was the one who served you the wine?”
“It was Robert''s secretary.”
“It must be his secretary who tampered with your drinks, then.”
Feeling doubtful, Dawn said, “That''s impossible. We saw her pouring the wine with our own eyes. If she
really did something to our drinks, we would''ve seen it.”
“You girls have underestimated these mages. A simple flick of the fingernail or a knock against sses
is enough for them to tamper with your drinks.”
Dawn rubbed her forehead, still confused by the whole incident. “Then again, there''s something I still
don''t understand. We''ve done nothing to offend Robert. Why would he want to harm us? Worst of all, it
looks as if he wants us to die.”
With an apologetic look on his face, Zeke said, “I''m sorry. It''s probably my fault that Robert is doing
this. And he''s probably doing this is because he doesn''t want me to leave you girls and head for Mount
Kush.”
“Hmph, that insignificant entrepreneur. How dare he work with the Netherworld? They must have a
death wish.”
At United Group, Robert was seething with rage as he crushed the ss in his hands without knowing
it.
He had received news that Zeke had left for Corleon.
Initially, he had intended to get his revenge by having the so-called “Wendy” reel in the catch as soon
as possible and eliminate Zeke.
However, Zeke had already left for Corleon, and Wendy had taken no action.
Thus, he figured he had been tricked by Wendy.
He took out his phone and was about to give her a call to get things done as soon as possible when a
series of knocks sounded on his office door.
Annoyed, Robert went to open the door.
As soon as the door was opened, his son, Jason Quinn, entered in his wheelchair, and behind him
were Ivan and several subordinates.
“Dad, did you know Zeke has left?” Jason burst into tears. “Are you going to let him go? Are you really
going to let this slide? How is our family going to handle our business in Corleon in the future? And how
are we going to maintain our status in this city? Dad, please think this through.”
Robert reassured, “Calm down, Jason. My partner has connections all over the world. As long as that
man remains on earth, I''ll definitely find him. So, don''t worry. I''ll get my partner to reel in the catch and
eliminate him.”
Jason''s mood finally improved a little. “Dad, please take action as soon as possible, then. Don''t let that
man go too far away.”
After nodding in response, Robert dialed Wendy''s number.
“Sorry. The number you have dialed is unavable. Please try againter.” The cold and robotic female
voice was like an atomic bomb that exploded in his mind.
Robert staggered from the shock.
No! No! No! Why can''t I contact Wendy anymore? She wouldn''t have run away, would she?
After making sure it was the right number, he made another call.
However, as with the previous attempt, he received the same message telling him the number was
unavable.
No matter how many times he tried, the oue was still the same.
Robert was close to exploding in rage. “Useless person! How dare you y tricks on me! I''ll never
forgive you!”
Jason, who was looking rather worried, asked, “Dad, w-what is it? Don''t tell me your partner has run
away...”
