chapter 649


    For the time being, Dr. Weir''s medication kept Chris'' illness in check, but his illness would worsen once he stopped


    the dosage.


    Waverly basically implied Anthony was Annabel''s ''mental antidote’, but he refused to be so. 1


    Anthony''s lips parted, "Just do your best, Ms. D’Cruz. Everything will follow its course."


    They could always retry it if they failed. Chris'' illness did not have to be cured in the following one or two months.


    Waverly said nothing else, considering how determined Anthony was." Where''s your researchb?" she spoke,


    changing the topic. "I’ll have a look.’


    Nial instantly led the way. One more person on the research team would give more hope.


    Furthermore, with Waverly''s high-up and world-renowned reputation, she must be quite capable.


    The three of them went into theb.


    Inside one of the Jordan Group''s offices.


    Charmine was sorting out a pile of documents. Unable to shake off the matters regarding Annabel, she


    texted Anthony.


    [How''s it going?]


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    [Anthony: Everything went well. Don’t worry.]


    Charmine frowned. Based on what happened yesterday, it was not going well. How could Anthony


    sound so rxed? 1


    It was apparent that he was not telling the truth.


    She texted Rio instead. [Investigate Annabel''s situation in the hospital.]


    A capable and effective man, Rio had been taking care of Robert in the hospital during his free time.


    As expected, it did not take long before Rio replied, [Annabel had fallen asleep, but she seems to be


    having a nightmare. Waverly said it’s not going well.]


    Charmine frowned. ''Not going well''?


    She had a nightmare, even after hypnosis? That was not good...


    Charmine expected that things would get better once Annabel agreed to be the surrogate mother.


    She did not expect such a thing to happen.


    If Annabel kept on having this mental entanglement and could not conceive, Chris’ illness would not be


    cured.


    As she was caught up in her thoughts, Brandon rushed in and said anxiously, "Director, it''s bad.


    Someone is ready to buy thend of Westfield. I heard it''s a bigshot from overseas. He has met up with


    many people today, and he wants to get involved in Burlington’s real estate industry."


    Charmine looked up at him. "A foreigner is trying to buy thend of Westfield?"


    "Right, thisnd is situated in the center of Burlington. It should''ve been tall buildings, but there are now twenty-


    seven old heritage houses over a hundred years of history.


    "Many property groups went over to propose a deal, but the residence there was unwilling to move out. There''s the


    saying of how this Westfieldnd is an impossiblend to buy, and whoever gets it will be the strongest in this


    industry. 1


    "If a foreigner buys it, all of our national real estate groups will be crushed and embarrassed. Furthermore, this


    buildings waiting for buyers around that area, so we must get thisnd to promote our remaining properties. If


    someone else gets it, our remaining projects might be at risk," Brandon briefly analyzed.


    Charmine noted the gravity of the situation and asked, "Do you have the buyer''s details?


    "I''ve asked them to make a quick check. It''s the heir of the surgery centered family in Kansas, Max D''Cruz,"


    answered Brandon. 1


    Charmine''s brows furrowed. Max D''Cruz? Was that not Waverly D''Cruz''s brother?


    Waverly came to Burlington to sort out some matters, while Max came to get involved with Burlington’s real estate


    industry?


    Something seemed far too off for Charmine. "Let the project teampile the documents of Westfieldnd,"


    instructed Charmine. "Bring them in quickly. I''ll handle the rest."


    "Understood."
