Chapter 621
She's My Sleeping Pill
Travis and Stefan were having their own security meeting, along with Erwin, Top, and the other head of their bodyguards. Shein was there, making sure that their communication was properly secured from anyone tapping on their network. Vincent was with them as well, especially that the people involved were two inmates from his jurisdiction.
âDo you believe with what she said?â Travis questioned, playing with the pen in his hand. It was rotating between his index fingers and thumb. âSheâs probably being held prisoner in exchange of her familyâs welfare and a huge amount of money.â
âI agree on that.â Erwin commented. âShe has a child and a mother. All these years, she raised the child on her own but it wasnât until this moment that she started looking for Mr. Summer. She probably wanted him to take care of their child if something happens to her.â
âSo, thereâs a small quantity of the poison she made but her boss said that heâd use it in the prison for Napoleone. Itâs obviously a lie.â
Vincent heaved a deep sigh and touched the back of his neck. âAside from your family, does Napoleone have someone else in life?â
Stefan pondered over this question but he didnât remember anyone from his memories. âI spent little time with my family because of so many things. I didnât know much about them and I didnât bother checking on them either.â
Vincent just nodded his head without making any comment about Stefanâs family circumstances.
.....
âLetâs coordinate with the P countryâs government. Surely, they knew something.â Top suggested to them. âIf we coordinate with their government, we will have a free pass with to their islands.â
âI heard that their countryâs president is difficult to deal with.â Erwin stated in worry.
âIf heâs a person who cares about his people, he should give us some time to speak.â Stefan responded to them.
âLetâs ask Tristan to negotiate for an appointment.â Travis added solemnly.
âGot it.â Tristan muttered while listening to the meeting through his headphone. He was doing multiple tasks while Eliezer watches him in awe.
Cayenne was supposed to go to the university but because of the impending danger and Stefanâs sudden meeting involving their safety, she had to miss another day of her class.
âIâm home.â Jade greeted them happily when she arrived from school. It was the last day of class for the primary students at Trine Elite University. âAuntie Yen, you didnât go to school today?â
âMe? I had to leave school because something bad happen.â
âIs that why dad and uncle arenât here now?â
âYeah. Theyâre having a meeting inside your dadâs study room.â
Jade just nodded her head while taking out something from her bag. âEverything will be fine soon.â She took out a box and when she opened it, there were little hair clips inside them. âI made one for everyone. You can get what you like.â
While the boys pondered how to protect their loved ones, Jade was also doing her best to make the women feel at ease.
Jillyanna didnât know that she has a cousin. She had no idea that Simon has a daughter with Denise. Well, itâs not unexpected since Simon didnât know about it either.
While considering so many things, Travis had to get a DNA test between Simon and Deniseâs daughter as well. He didnât want the man to take up the responsibility just in case it wasnât really his daughter.
On top of that, he needed to explain a lot of things to his wife as well.
Stefan and Travis sighed deeply at the same time which made the other boys smile faintly at them. Itâs not easy to protect your woman at all.
On the other hand, Denise went back to look for her boss. She needed to get the bottle back.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
No one answered.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Her attempts were met with silence.
âAre you looking for the leader?â A man came with a baseball bat in his hand.
âYes. I made a mistake with the poison I gave him. Do you know where he is?â
âHe should be at the basement.â The man answered without making any further inquiry.
âThank you. Iâll go there myself.â
Denise smiled at him and turned around to leave. She ran as fast as she could to the basement and the moment she pushed the metal door, the rotten and stinky smell of the place greeted her nostril.
She vomited on the side because of the sudden assault on her nose.
âS-sir.â She called, wiping off the saliva from the corner of her mouth. She pinched her nose and breathed with her mouth while looking for the man inside. âSir, thereâs something wrong with the bottle I gave you. Itâs not the one that should be used in the jail.â
âWhy not?â Questioned the man who stood in the middle of the room with a naked woman lying on the ground. She wasnât alone. There were other emaciated people lying on the floor with her. âAs I can see, this product you made is great. I tested it on them.â
âHow about you?â
âIâm fine. I made sure not to touch any of the food and the drinks.â
Denise blinked her tears from falling and just stood there with feigned helpless expression. âIt took me a long time to create those and you only used it on them. It will take me months to create just one bottle of them.â
âItâs fine. You said that thereâs another poison that my friend can use, right?â
âAh?! Yes. Yes, sir. There is. The one that I gave you was supposedly for your plan to take over the country. Anyway, Iâll just start with them once again. Hereâs the other poison that I created for your friend.â
âThanks my sweet. Your talent is truly priceless. Iâll give you another bonus for this month.â
âThank you so much, sir.â Denise bowed her head happily. âUhh...can I call my mother this month sir? The last time I called them was three months ago.â
âSure. And while youâre at it, please ask someone to clean the basement and make them replenish our stock for experiments.â
âYes, sir.â
Denise left and asked someone to clean the basement. The moment she got inside her room, she contacted Eliezer and Tristan. She told them the current situation and the chance they needed to grab.
