Chapter 894
When Alicia woke up, she saw that Jeremy had sent multiple messages to her again. She took a glance at them before switching off her phone right away. She thought he must be acting up again, so she didn't take it to heart.
According to the plan, she would first arrange her parents' schedule before heading to a private studio. After all, it was a rare chance for her to go abroad. Besides reading, she also studied some popular elements of fashion and brought all kinds of design inspiration back to her work.
Even when she was abroad, she would try her best to make full use of her time. She knew that soon, she had to return to her life and family.
In the studio, she listened to a lesson and took part in another practical class. After collecting a lot of materials, she went to a manor in the wild to view nature while photographing some of the beautiful moments. It was not until she was hungry that she packed up the luggage and phoned her mother. When she was about to leave, several unread messages on the phone came into her sight.
"Could it be Jeremy again?"
As soon as she opened it, Alicia's brain suddenly went blank. "Is that Frederick and Danica?"
This time around, Jeremy had sent her a series of photos. He didn't say a word, but he showed her the photos of Frederick and Danica on a date. Looking at the background in the photos, Alicia could tell that the streets and scenery were very familiar.
They were in Casterwich City!
She could also sense a strange feeling of intimacy between the two of them due to their attire and temperaments.
"Business mall? Hotel? Cafe? The hospital and a flower shop?"
After looking at the photos, Alicia's brows couldn't help but furrow a few times. The two had gone to so many places, surely it couldn't be mere coincidences! Did all of these happen during this period of time?
"What's going on?"
As she glanced through the photos once more, she spotted one of a wedding dress store. Alicia's racing heart gradually calmed down. No wonder it was so frequent. Was he preparing for a wedding?
She told herself, "If that was the case, then he's definitely not Frederick!"
Although she had already come to a conclusion in her mind, she still had some doubts lingering in her heart. Looking at the time, Alicia chose one of the photos and forwarded it to Frederick along with a cute emoji.
"Honey, don't you think he looks like you?"
Reckoning the time, it should be early in the morning in Casterwich City. Without waiting for his reply, Alicia went home on her own.
After she had breakfast with her parents, she held her mobile phone and went to her room. Whether it was intentional or not, she waited for Frederick's call for the whole day.
Meanwhile, in the president's office of Soaver International, Frederick held an emergency meeting early in the morning. When he returned to the office, he was exhausted.
He motioned Chet to take a seat and said to his secretary, "Prepare two cups of coffee and two sets of breakfast. Cancel all of my morning schedules."
Soon, he settled his duties with Chet. The secretary had brought breakfast in as well. He motioned for Chet to close the door. Frederick stood up and made two more cups of coffee. After that, the two of them began to have their brunch.NôvelDrama.Org content.
Picking up the spoon, Fredrick thought of something and said, "I've asked you about the gauze on Danica's leg. Is there any news?"
"I'm too busy lately. I was going to tell you this morning. I don't know how she hurt her leg, but I found the hospital where she stitched the wound. The records stated that glass shards cut through her flesh..."
"Glass shards?"
Looking up, Frederick paused for a moment. "I don't know why, but I feel that she made me notice the wound on purpose."
"According to the doctor, he knows exactly the shape of the wound and the severity of it. He could even describe in detail her visitation hour and her condition at that time. It's like he is reciting information from a book as if he knew that someone would investigate it..."
After saying this, Chet casually snorted and suddenly realized something was wrong. As their eyes met, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. "Frederick, we aren't... alerting her, are we?"
"That's to say, she must have let me see her wound on purpose. She also thought that I would investigate it. It's not that serious..."
Was she trying to test Frederick's reaction or was there really something behind the scar?
After some thoughts, the two of them said at the same time, "The antidote!"
Chet nodded and said,
"Didn't you say that you suspected
that it was just a bluff for her to open the safe? Even if it wasn't a bluff, half of the antidote was kept there, and we didn't know whether t was real. Generally speaking, the safe in the house is the easiest to attract thieves. Since our goal is so clear and important, why would she put it in such an obvious location? It seems to be unreasonable. Besides, the antidote isn't something huge and it can be hidden. There is no need to do so!"
Wouldn't it be better to hide it in some holes underground?
It would be silly of her to keep it in a safe!
"So, the most dangerous place is the safest place. It doesn't matter if the antidote is hidden under the gauze or is really stitched to her body. I dare to say that it is most likely a fake!"
"It's possible that one in the safe may be the real one."
Chet, on the other hand, shook his head in opposition to his own thoughts, "What if she has the same thoughts as us, thinking about this question from our perspective?"
It would be an endless loop of questions without answers with this thought.
Unless they got all the possible antidotes they found at the same time, then only the probability of success would become higher. However, there was another possibility that she hid the real antidote in a place they hadn't discovered.
This antidote was their lifeline, and it was also Danica's only leverage!
She possessed Frederick's biggest
weakness. Even if there was a
glimmer of hope, he had to compromise and obey her for
Alicia's sake. Because as longamet
Danica was still there, Alicia would have hope. Once this hope was lost or Danica's leverage over him became useless, she would have nothing left. By then, she would face an ugly fate!
"That's why, without confirmation, we should touch neither of the antidotes. The antidote can only be taken by half, but under the circumstances that it is real."
Only with the real one then could Carson recreate the same antidote. The other green half of the pill was still in his hands. As long as he could get the antidote ready, he didn't need to care about the effect. He could make Alicia take it all at once Of course, the most important thing was that he had to make sure that it wouldn't go wrong before she took it.
He couldn't use her body for experiments!
"Then let's go according to the original plan. The wedding will continue. I don't believe that she can hide all the clues from us. Let's come up with a plan within the next few days."
After sending Chet away, Frederick picked up his phone. As soon as he saw a new message from Alicia, his mind short-circuited.
Did she find out already?
