Your End Is Near
"I don't deny the truth in that, " Boris answered coldly. "However, didn't you drug me to sleep with your daughter so that you could force me to marry her?"
"That's my way of tightening our collaboration, " Newton asserted. "Within this partnership, neither of us can do without the other. If either one of us leaves, the plan will fall apart. Given how intertwined our interests are, it's natural that we should close ranks to prevent any future problems. As for what Carla told you, there's no need for you to worry at all. Given how massive Giblo Group is, there's no way I can take over it alone, even if I wanted to. Since it's in my long-term interest for you to be in charge, why would I kill the goose that lays the golden egg? It would be stupid of me to do so, don't you think?"
Newton's words sounded extremely persuasive. Finally, he added, "Besides, what's wrong with my daughter? She's both beautiful and talented. In fact, she's not inferior to Carla in any way. Don't forget that Carla is a sullied woman who has given birth to three children. As for my daughter, she never even had a boyfriend before."
"Indeed, she is sublime."
Relishing the pleasure he felt during the night with Nella, he couldn't help but feel the urge to want more. Although he had slept with many different women before, none of them were as demure and stunning as she was.
Suddenly, something occurred to him. "However, it seems that she knows my true identity and hates me to the core."
"You don't have to worry about that. Let me handle it." Newton was filled with confidence. "In my family, I have the final say."
"All right then." Boris didn't say more as he finally relented. Nevertheless, his concerns had yet to be allayed. After all, he still felt out of sorts and assumed that he was poisoned. Hence, he endeavored to get himself examined when he had the opportunity.
After a few hours, Carla finally arrived in Yavawi and met up with Brandy late at night.
At that moment, Charles was being treated in hospital for his injuries. As for his men, they were drained after spending a long period of time tracking Randy down. As a result, Brandy had taken over the search for Randy.
Once Carla had arrived and understood the situation, she joined them in their search immediately.
Meanwhile, she had gotten Freda to keep in touch with Rogan, so they were constantly updated on the situation at Northridge.
Freda reported, "Rogan told me that Derilo dropped by tonight again. Also, she has taken Dr. Feroma's prescription from Benard."
"Really? That's wonderful news." Carla was ecstatic. "Is she still there?"
"She just left as it's already three in the morning." Freda continued to relate the details of what happened, "She treated Alpha first before going to see Benard… After she was gone, Rogan noticed that she had taken Benard's prescription with her."
"That's good. That's really good." Carla heaved a sigh of relief as she stared into space. She added in relief, "Now that she has taken it, there will be hope for Zayn…"
"What is this crap? Is this prescription left behind by Dr. Feroma?"
Meanwhile, inside the forest, Derila knitted her brows as she studied the prescription under the dim light of an oil lamp.
"What's wrong?" Zayn asked anxiously. "Did you take the wrong one?"
"It should be the right one, but…" Derila showed him the prescription. "It's covered in blood, so I can barely see a thing."
"What?" Zayn's heart sank when he saw it. "Benard's blood must have stained it when he was shot."
"Yeah. It was still sealed within the envelope, as Carla didn't open it to check."
As Derila threw the prescription aside, she remarked unsympathetically, "It seems that fate wants you dead. You had better resign yourself to it!"
Zayn was stumped. "Come on, Dr. Feroma, d-don't you want your exorbitant medical fees anymore?"
