Chapter 718 A Price To Pay

Ian had been preoccupied with Jean’s critical illness and company affairs. He couldn’t leave and personally tracked down Thora,

When he found out Thora had treated Gerald, he immediately sent someone to find her. However, she appeared to have foreseen trouble and went into hiding. They were unable to locate her.

Ian, frustrated, sent out more people to look for her.

Meanwhile, he tried to come up with other ways to approach the situation.

After some thought, he approached Frederic and Wrenn for assistance.

“Mr. Frederic, Thora was introduced to Mr. Peter by Mr. Clarence,” Ian reported.

“I doubt she’d disappear for no apparent reason. Thora doesn’t know many people in Kingsview, so I suspect her disappearance has something to do with Mr. Clarence.”

After Ian informed him of the situation, Frederic wore a solemn expression. He couldn’t let this slide. He needed to deal with this, despite the fact that it involved his own brother.

Decisively, he commanded Ian, “Stay here and keep me updated. If anything happens, give me a

call.”

Subsequently, he turned around and left.

Wrenn quickly called out to him, “Where are you going?”

“To find Clarence!” He replied sternly without pausing his stride.

“I’m coming with you.”

She couldn’t sit still when she thought about the kind of agony Jean had to go through and

Clarence’s involvement in the incident.

The two rushed to Clarence’s house and demanded answers from him.

“Where’s Thora? Where is she now?”

Clarence was still indignant after they kicked him out of the board of directors. He was upset as he retorted, “Why would you come to me and ask me this?”

Exasperated, Wrenn chided, “She’s gone! If we don’t come to you, who should we go to?”

“She’s gone?” Clarence was stunned. He asked, “What do you mean?

Wrenn tightened her teeth in rage.

She scolded, “Ged is critically ill because of her. She almost killed Jed too. That woman has gone

missing now. You’re the one who introduced her, so we’re here to demand answers!”

This revelation astounded Clarence.

He was mad at Thora when he learned about her incompetence, but he hadn’t expected this quack to cause such harm. The progress of the situation had far exceeded his expectations.

He spotted Frederic’s stern expression and felt a pang of fear. If something happened to Jean, he was certain that his brother would kick him out of Beauvort Group permanently.

When this realization struck him, he quickly confessed to everything.

“…That’s the whole story. She had treated me once, and I was impressed with her skills. I only met

her a few times. I tried to contact her yesterday, but she never picked up the call.”

Noting his sincerity, Frederic’s expression became grimmer.

“This is great! Our entire family is being played by Thora!”

In a panic, Clarence quickly came up with something. He exclaimed, “I remember something! Kyra

came by to see me when I was sick. She was the one who mentioned that my symptoms were similar to Jean’s. She is the one who contacted Thora. Maybe you should ask Kyra; she might know

where Thora is.”

Wrenn was surprised that Kyra was involved in this, which made her even more worried.

Back in the research center, after Neera readily prepared the medicine, she also asked Ian about Thora’s whereabouts.

Back in the research center, after Neera readily prepared the medicine, she also asked Ian about

Thora’s whereabouts.

Apologetically, he bowed his head a little.

“I’m sorry, we haven’t found her, but we discovered that she is a close friend of Alistair Gray. I’ve sent someone to keep an eye on him and deployed more men to track her down. I hope you can be patient.”

Neera’s gaze turned cold. She deduced, “She should have sensed something went wrong and things would be bad for her. Therefore, she ran away before the consequences caught up with her.”

Did she believe she could get away? She made a mistake and now must pay the price for it. I’d

tolerated a lot from her in the past, but she wasn’t having it this time.

Osbert spat in disgust and chided, “What a scourge! We should have sent her away from the start.

How could she have done such heinous things? She’s inhumane!”

Luigi was astounded that Thora could cause so much trouble.

“What is she thinking? She is well-versed in all aspects of medical treatment. If only she had spent

some time studying the patient’s condition and treating them properly. Even if the treatment did

not completely heal them, the patients wouldn’t end up in such a state.

“Out of so many options, she has to pick sinister methods and disregard their physical tolerance!

She’s killing them.”

The gloom in Neera’s eyes deepened as she said, “Someone like her does not qualify to be a doctor;

she is not even qualified to be a human.”

“You two help me monitor the situation here,” she reasoned coldly. “I must to call Mr. Hanson.”

This incident had crossed her limit. She would not cover for Thora, and she believed her master

deserved to know the truth.
