Chapter 149 An Unfortunate Child

A long while after Theodore left, Jeremy was the first person to break the silence in the room by laughing. “Throughout the many years we’ve known each other, this is my second time seeing Theodore lose his composure. It’s too obvious this time around.”

“Where did he lose his composure the first time around?” Curtis asked.

“At the hospital,” Jeremy answered. “Back then, Jasmine went to pay you a visit at the hospital, where she bumped into Theodore. Although Theodore kept a straight face, Jasmine was flustered. Right away, I knew there was something going on between them.”

“So, this is what you didn’t want to talk about in the hospital?” Wyatt finally caught on. “D*mn! Couldn’t you just tell me? I felt so miserable for a few days after that!”

“That’s just because you’re stupid. However, you’re rather smart enough to know to play along this time around,” Jeremy quipped.

“What? Play along with what?” Wyatt was confused.

Upon hearing that, Jeremy held his forehead and uttered, “I’ve overestimated your intelligence. My bad.”

“Oh! Are you talking about Jasmine’s background?” It took Wyatt a long while to understand what Jeremy was implying. “F*ck! I thought you were interested in Jasmine. Who knew you were actually saying that to have Theodore hear it? Why must researchers like you overcomplicate things? Doesn’t your head ever hurt from it?”

“Didn’t I say you’re stupid?” Jeremy countered. “If you don’t believe me, ask Curtis.”

With that, Wyatt tilted his head to look at Curtis.

Yet, the latter ignored him utterly and voiced in resignation, “I didn’t know Theodore and Jasmine had a past. If I had known, I wouldn’t have collaborated with her.”

“No. What you’re doing is actually good, Curtis.” Jeremy chuckled. “You’ve also seen how much Theodore distances himself from women, and I reckon it’s because Jasmine hurt him. Based on the tattoo on his finger, I’m certain he still can’t forget about her. Let’s make use of this opportunity to see how long he can keep this up.”

Curtis thought about it for a while before agreeing to Jeremy’s plan with a soft grunt.

“How dare you guys complain about me toying with women? From what I see, you guys are worse than me!” Wyatt grumbled disdainfully. “Especially when it comes to you, Curtis. How could you use the car crash to trick Ms. Garland into being at your beck and call?”
