Chapter 187


    This was exactly how Joe treated those he didn’t care about. Marcus was well aware of this, but he


    didn’t expect Joe to reject him so firmly without so much as a sliver of regard that they were mutual


    friends with Rowan and the others.


    This embarrassed Marcus greatly. Weren’t they fine before boarding and during the flight? Why did


    his áttitude change after getting off the ne? Could the phone call Joe received put him in a bad


    mood?


    If so, who made the call? Who could have made a call in the middle of the night to cause Marcus


    unnecessary trouble?


    Once they got into the car, Paul took out his phone and snapped a picture of his forehead while


    cursing, Damn it! How unlucky! I’ve been having a streak of good lucktely. How did it suddenly


    take a turn for the worse?”


    Joe nced at Paul. Then, his gaze fell on the photo Paul had posted on Instagram over an hour


    ago.


    In the photo, Marcus could be seen behind Paul. Skr must have called him after seeing this


    photo. He hadn’t noticed any ring on Marcus‘ hand before, but now he could vaguely see it in the


    photo. Perhaps it was because of what Skr said, that ring did give off a bad vibe.


    “If Marcus contacts you, keep your distance from him,” Joe said.


    Paul was taken aback. Joe was rather cold toward Marcus. Had he offended Joe in some way? Or


    did the series of incidents on the ne affect Joe’s mood?


    “Did Marcus offend you?” Paul asked.


    Joe showed Paul his WhatsApp conversation with Skr. After reading it, Paul’s eyes widened


    suddenly.


    “No wonder I’ve been so unlucky today!” He hadn’t understood it before, but now he did.


    Suddenly, he thought of something. If Marcus was sick, wouldn’t that affect a lot of people? Would


    Rowan, Ethan, and even Lukas be affected?


    The situation seemed especially worrying for Ethan and Lukas. They were not picky about their


    romantic partners. There was a chance they might have shared the same girlfriends before. Would


    they have gotten the same disease too?


    “Should we ask Mr. Jakeman and the others to get a thorough medical check–up?” Paul asked.


    Joe remained silent for a few seconds. Then, he typed a message and sent it to the group chat with


    Rowan and John in it.


    He wrote, “Marcus vomited blood on the ne. If you’ve had amon girlfriend with him, go to the


    hospital for a detailed check–up.”


    This caused a huge stir.


    Rowan responded instantly. “Vomited blood? What’s going on? And when did you two be so


    close that you would meet up personally now? I thought you disliked hanging out with Marcus and


    Ethan

    John texted, “Could Marcus have AIDS? He seems to always have a cold whenever I run into him


    at


    restaurants.”


    Rowan replied, “Fuck this!”

    John advised, “Rowan, you hang out with Marcus quite often. Go get yourself checked. Let’s not


    meet for


    now. Good luck.”


    Joe texted, “Good luck.”


    Rowan didn’t reply anymore. He was probably in hysterics or was busy booking an appointment


    with a hospital for a check–up. He could also be checking his Instagram diligently to see if he had


    any ovepping girlfriends with Marcus.


    In short, Joe and a few others would be staying up that night, unable to sleep.


    Steven had just walked out of theboratory at thepany when he saw the haggard Kenny


    standing


    before him.


    Steven pretended not to see Kenny and walked past him.


    However, Kenny stopped him. “Wait, do you know anything about Skr being a mistress? Not only


    that, she also got that guy who’s having an affair with her to sabotage ourpany. We’re facing a


    lot of problems now, and she’s likely the one behind all of this.”
