Chapter 766
"Douglas, what did President Yard say to you?" Phoebe asked tentatively.
Douglas was indifferent. "Nothing much. She said she had a friend that looked like me, and she mistook me for them." Phoebe nodded in silence, feeling slightly more secure.
"Phoebe, I think we should avoid jobs like this in the future; I need to focus on my music."
Phoebe nodded hastily. "Yes, this is the only company we should never mess with, but if the partnership works out, the profit we get from endorsements would be enough to shut the company up." The two walked out of JNS Corporation together.
Out of boredom, Jude paid a visit to the Fowlers, where Selena relayed to her the events that transpired with Douglas.
Jude, too, shook her head after listening. "Actually, I think if I were him, I wouldn't admit it too. I've finally bid my past goodbye, so I wouldn't allow others to irritate my old wounds, correct?"
After thinking about it, Selena had to agree. "Maybe I was too impatient? It's already enough for me to know that he's still here and living well, but... Did you know, Jude? When Helen pleaded guilty, Pierre and I still felt that there was someone behind the scenes who was adding fuel to the flames. There was another reason in our search for Chris."
Jude did not interfere.
"Pierre and I think that Chris' father was the one behind the scenes, but we still haven't found him. This isn't over yet." Selena couldn't help but start worrying.
Jude patted Selena on the head. "All right, let's just be content where we are. We can't do anything right now, can we?"
"Jude, I have a feeling that something bad will happen. I don't know why it's been like this for a while. My eyelids keep twitching." Selena looked wearily at Jude as she spoke.
Jude didn't say anything regarding the matter. "You're just feeling anxious because the man isn't here. You're a strong woman, aren't you? So don't rely so much on men, okay?" Selena smiled in response, hoping that she was just too sensitive.
However, the smile suddenly vanished from Jude's face. "Selena, if a day comes where I'm not with you anymore, you'll have to take care of yourself, all right?"
Selena looked at Jude. She understood what she meant; one day, Jude would go and stay by Satan's side, then she wouldn't come back ever again.
"I will. You take care of yourself too."
Meanwhile, in Springvale, every member of the Zephyr Organization had retreated and returned. These few days they had announced that they would not take on any missions, for something important was about to happen within the organization.
Every single member was tensed up.
Satan and Hades were in the study, discussing something while holding a map in front of them.
"Satan, I heard that the other side
At
had called Pierre back, and it looks like a war is about to break out." At the mention of Pierre, Hades couldn't help but think of Selena, if we win, then that means Pierre lost or even died. What would happen to Selena then?
"Let's lay low first and see what they're capable of."
"Then this time, we..."
"Stay on the defense." Satan's gaze was resolute. "This time, we may not be the ones they're going after."NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Hades nodded in agreement.
While the two were absorbed in their conversation, there was a knock on the door.
"Sir, there has been a delivery. Please head downstairs to check."
The brothers glanced at each other with frowns on their faces. Any occurrence in this period of time
could spell trouble. Without delayet
the two made their way down together to see a huge box wrapped like a present placed in the middle of the living room. Their frowns deepened.
Hades was about to move forward when Satan stopped him. "Don't move. Fetch the testing device first."
At this crucial point in time, no one dared to let down their guard.
