Becoming the Richest Man Alive

She was unsure as to what Remy had been drugged with as she was not informed of it, and was at a loss herself seeing how things had seemingly spiraled out of control.

Even if she mildly regretted this rather unsalvageable situation, it appeared that there was no turning back now.

The outcome of her impulsiveness was her flimsy excuse fraying at the seams and threatening to cause her little charade to fall apart.

One look at Jessica’s demeanor was sufficient for Casper to determine that there was no way Jessica could have nothing to do with Remy’s predicament, but he brushed that aside as getting Remy in for treatment took priority.

His immediate thinking was to lift Remy out alongside Felix and Colton so that they may grab a ride out together to the hospital, but he felt somewhat troubled as not understanding the cause would doubtlessly prove problematic given the circumstances.

The hospital may be able to address Remy’s physical symptoms, but a recurrence was possible if they were not able to tackle his ailment at its roots.

Seeing how unrealistic it would be to keep Remy hospitalized indefinitely, Casper arched his head toward Jessica. “Come with us so that you may recount to the doctor whatever happened during the time you were dining together.”

Her initial reticence was batted away by the next thing Casper said. “Refusal to comply would suggest your complicity in what happened to Remy today. As you should know, we’ll be sure to investigate thoroughly, and with my newfound wealth and the connections that came with it, who knows what I might end up uncovering.”

After a brief pause, he continued, looking severe, “What could follow afterward is a mystery even to myself, as someone with my notoriety in school wouldn’t really mind adding to my own colorful history. So what say you, Ms. Taylor?”

Jessica glanced over at Casper and then at Remy before getting into the vehicle headed for the hospital.
