Chapter 575 Cripple Her Wings
Upon hearing these words, Flora trembled, and she hurriedly asked, "Where is he?"
The gentleman evaded her gaze, but he still replied, "Ray has already left."
Flora felt a pang of discomfort, her eyes were dimming, but she simply nodded and said to the gentleman. "I can go back on my own."
She turned and left.
Leaving the bar, she got into her car and headed to Ray's place.
She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep if this matter wasn't resolved tonight.
The feeling of unwillingness urged her not to give up.
Little did she know that the person she wanted to pursue was still in the bar at this moment.
Ray had only entered a private room.
At this moment, he sat on the sofa, looking somewhat dejected, with a cigarette in hand. He exhaled smoke repeatedly, emanating a gloomy aura.
The woman earlier had followed him here and seeing him in this state, she felt that her opportunity had come again.
She softened her body, trying to entangle and seduce Ray. "Ray, don't be upset. Since we're here, why not we have a good drink tonight?"
This seductive behaviour disgusted Ray.
He moved his face away with impatience, coldly uttering, "Get lost!"
The woman was stunned, but looking at Ray's handsome face, she was unwilling to give up and tried to cling to him again. "Ray, relax. Let me cheer you up!"
Ray was disgusted to the extreme. He lifted his legs and kicked the table in front of him, saying coldly, "I told you to get lost! Can't you understand?"
The girl was scared and her face turned pale.
The gentleman who was with them stepped forward to smooth things over. "Didn't you see that Ray is not in a good mood? Get out."
The girl didn't dare say anything, she didn't want to lose her job.
Meanwhile, Flora arrived at Ray's home, but he wasn't there.
The gate was tightly shut, and the lights were off.
She waited in the car until dawn but Ray didn't show up.
Ray had spent the night without sleep and was drunk.
Early in the morning, a group of gentlemen sent him back.
When Marcie saw him, she couldn't help but say, "You brat, how did you get so drunk? What happened? Weren't you going to meet Flora?"
Ray was so drunk that he couldn't even reply.
Although Marcie looked disgusted, she still took care of him.
Aletta was unaware of the conflict between the two.
She saw the news the next morning.
Early in the morning. White Group clarified with its official account: [Ray and Jock are friends. The reason for exchanging contac information was for business matters, not flirting. Ray already has a girlfriend! We apologize for any trouble caused to Jock].
Jock's team released a statement clarifying the situation too.
[Ray and his girlfriend are Jock's friends, please refrain from creating baseless rumours. Otherwise, I have no choice but to apologize to his girlfriend personally].
The slightly playful tone, accompanied by several laughing emojis, left everyone with a positive impression. It became clear that it was all a misunderstanding.
Aletta looked puzzled and asked Jason, "What's going on? Is there a rumour about Jock and Ray?"
Jason glanced at the content on her phone and briefly explained what had happened last night.
Aletta was speechless after listening, "Can't the media be more responsible? Why do they publish such news without any evidence? What if Flora has read the news? She doesn't even know Jock."
"Don't worry, Ray will explain," Jason reassured her, thinking that it was a minor issue.
They went downstairs for breakfast after that.
After breakfast, Jason prepared to send the children to kindergarten. He asked Aletta before leaving, "What are your plans for today?"
Aletta replied, "I'm going to the research institute to prepare the documents and send them to President Thomson. I'll also ask him if he knows anything about the genes."
Jason didn't stop her. After all, he couldn't expect her to stay idle home, especially when it concerned the children.
He spoke gently, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'll pick you up later. Don't worry, the children will be fine."
Upon hearing his comforting words, Aletta couldn't help but glance at the children beside her.
They were carrying their small backpacks, sitting in the entryway, changing their shoes.
Lyla struggled to tie her shoelaces and turned to Otto, pouting, "Otto, I can't do it."
Otto crouched down and said, "Let me help you."
In just a few moments, he skilfully tied Lyla's shoelaces.
Lucas took the initiative to fix Nina's slightly crooked collar.
Nina smiled sweetly and said in a childish voice, "Thank you, Lucas."
After watching this scene, Aletta smiled and responded to Jason, "Yes, they will be fine. I won't let anything happen to them."
Jason nodded, gave her a brief kiss, and then left with the children.
Not long after they left, Aletta went to the research institute.
In the morning, she sent the documents to President Thompson.
After hearing the details, President Thompson told Aletta, "There is a high possibility that the drug was developed by Peter! Only he would have the ability... And that is quite unexpected that the children are not showing any symptoms... But every drug has its side effects on the host, not to mention such young children. Their future is indeed full of uncertainty." Aletta felt a little disappointed and asked, "So, Thompson, you were not aware of the existence of such drugs?" "Indeed. I'm unaware. When Peter was still loyal to the sect, the drugs that he developed were never this extreme..." President Thompson instructed. "In any case, observe the children and see if there are any changes during this period. Also, have someone send a sample of their blood to the League. I'll have my team examine it. Bring the children along during your third treatment."
Aletta didn't refuse, "All right, thank you."
President Thompson spoke with a gentle tone, smiling kindly, "You're welcome!"
After discussing the children, he inquired about Aletta's condition. After confirming that there were no serious issues, he hung up the phone.
On the other side, Although Jason was in the company dealing with his business, he didn't forget the culprit who had harmed his children and wife.
After the morning meeting ended, he asked Eaton, "Have you found any trace of Countess?"
Eaton replied, "Not yet. They are skilled in anti-tracking. Despite our considerable efforts, they managed to elude us. The only thing we can confirm is that she is still in France. It will take some time to apprehend her."
Jason's brows visibly furrowed upon hearing the unsatisfactory outcomes. He asked again, "Where is Professor Peter now?" Eaton reported with a hint of unease, "Professor Peter went into hiding after the incident with the league. According to the latest information from Sam, he should be hiding in one of the strongholds of the Bloods. Group. However, we haven't obtained many leads since the Bloods. Group has remained elusive for many years. We are continuing our investigation..."
Jason furrowed his brows tighter.
With an expression revealing his discontent with the news, his tone turned icy. "What about the lunter Group?"
Eaton's spirits lifted as he mentioned this. "After we destroyed numerous strongholds of the Hunter Group, they consolidated all their manpower and are currently holed up in their headquarters! If we are to take action, now is the time!"
Jason issued a cold order. "Make them disappear completely! From now on, Hunters will no longer exist in this world. Once this is taken care of, Devourers will be the next!"
Since everything was orchestrated by Countess, it was best to cripple her wings first!
