Chapter 704 Curtis Grows Suspicious

“Theodore, is this a coincidence or...” Jeremy trailed off, his voice turning low.

“We can't be sure for now. Many companies are involved in making skincare products, after all.” Theodore stood still and pondered the matter before instructing, “Let Curtis know what is going on.”

“Okay!” Jeremy replied with a nod.

After the call ended, Theodore was about to return to the bedroom when Jasmine came over to him. “Why are you up so early?”

Theodore returned to the coffee table to put his phone down. “Curtis sent a text at midnight. I didn't read it in time, so I came here to reply to him.”

“Any progress about Rayna's situation?” Jasmine sat down on the couch and poured herself a glass of water.

“Not for now. However, Curtis discovered something else. Jeremy and I suspect that Rayna's matter might be related to it,” Theodore revealed. After carefully considering the evidence, Theodore concluded that there was more to the story than initially met the eye.

Jasmine said, “We might need to recall most of the product that was just recently launched by Glory.” She sighed out loud. “Rayna isn't here, and I'm afraid to tell her what's going on as it might affect her treatment.”

“Keep this a secret from her for now.” Theodore agreed with her decision. “Curtis and Rayna are in Jayfort, and their hands are tied. We can solve this problem in a matter of time.”

“I know,” Jasmine replied gently.

She recalled something and added, “By the way, I just received a text from Kristie saying that James is also on his way to Jayfort.”

Theodore gave her a baffled look. “When did he depart?”

“Two hours ago, I think,” Jasmine replied after confirming the time of Kristie's text. “Apparently, Curtis needs his help to research something.”

“Mm.” Theodore nodded. “Curtis sent it to us, too.”

He then showed the video and photo to Jasmine.

Jasmine recoiled as soon as she saw the phone Theodore had handed her. “What on earth is this?” she exclaimed, her nose scrunching up in disgust. She quickly handed it back to Theodore as she had a distaste for soft and squishy things.

“This thing appeared twice in the place where Rayna and Curtis are staying. Curtis said it might also affect the blood parasite within Rayna's body. However, it is merely a suspicion for now,” Theodore explained as he headed to the wine cabinet to pour himself a glass of wine. Before he could do so, Jasmine stopped him. “Do you have a death wish? I can't believe you're drinking this early in the morning!”

Theodore proceeded to pour himself a little wine and turned around to show his glass to Jasmine. “I won't drink much.”

Jasmine frowned slightly but didn't stop him.

Many things had happened recently, so they were all busy, leaving them with little to no time for leisure activities. Therefore, it was understandable that Theodore wanted a drink in order to unwind.

“Don't drink too much,” Jasmine reminded him.

“You should go back to sleep. It's still early,” Theodore told her after glancing at the time.

“Wake me up later. I have a meeting, and I don't want to oversleep,” Jasmine answered. She went over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and standing on tiptoes to give him a tender kiss.

“Okay.” Holding his wineglass in one hand, Theodore wrapped his other hand around her waist and reciprocated her kiss.

Meanwhile, Curtis was leaning against the headboard, his eyes scanning the texts he had received from Theodore and Jeremy. He paused to massage his temple before shifting his gaze to Rayna, who was nestling in his arms.

Placing his phone on the blanket, he started typing a reply: I told James to help me look into a company named Zeller Group. Perhaps Zeller Group is related to the YL Technologies you've mentioned.

Not long after he sent the text, Jeremy's reply arrived: It is a subsidiary of Zeller Group. I dug that information out last night. However, YL Technologies' CEO is a man called Fernando Zeller.

Curtis: Fernando used to be Cassidy's fiancé, but they seemed to have called their engagement off.

Jeremy: Is that purely a coincidence? Could there be a conspiracy?

Curtis: That might be a possibility, but we don't have evidence. This is just our guess.

Jeremy: Did someone arrange for Cassidy to appear?

Curtis: I don't think so.

Despite disagreeing with Jeremy, he started to grow wary and wondered if Cassidy's appearance was also part of someone's plan.

He suddenly recalled his encounter with Simone and Hamish back at Shvomhid Mountain.

He quickly asked: By the way, anything unusual about Harvey?

This time, it was Theodore who replied: Nothing much. He's busy dealing with some medical experiment to try to dissolve the clot in Rayna's brain.

Theodore asked: How did you find your way to Jayfort, though? Did someone tell you about it?

Curtis: Yes. I met Simone Miles and Hamish Galopin, and Simone introduced me to Cassidy.
