Upon throwing a strawberry into his mouth, he continued, “However, it’s thanks to Curtis’ lessons that she’s able to become that powerful. Anyone would be afraid of someone as mighty as her on any side.”
Glaring at him, Jeremy spat, “You should shut your mouth! No one here thinks you’re mute!”
In response, Wyatt shrugged.
Curtis’ countenance remained unchanged as he asked, “When’s the party?”
Jeremy replied, “Two months from now.”
“Arnaud will no doubt be there too to expand his influence.” Then, Curtis’ eyes darkened before he ordered, “Tell James the date and location of the party.”
As though Jeremy had already understood his intentions, he warned, “Yartran is Arnaud’s territory. Not only that, he has a lot of spies and a lot of money to hire retired veterans. If James gets himself captured after you send him there, it’s hard to say if we can extract him safely.”
“He’s going to be fine. After all, he and Theodore graduated from the same military academy,” Wyatt assured. “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of all matters related to his overseas trip.”
Furiously, Jeremy argued, “I just don’t want to drag another person into this matter and mess things up even further! What are you going to do if something happens to James? And if you stupidly mention this in front of Kristie, are you going to take responsibility if she reacts badly to the news?”
“Hey! I’m not stupid!”
“Are you going to tell me you never did anything stupid before?”
“Enough!” Curtis abruptly scowled and interrupted their bickering. “If you two don’t have anything else to do, just go home!”
Jeremy glared at Wyatt before advising, “Curtis, you’ve been taking care of Kristie without appropriate rest for a while now. Let me take care of her for a few days. Besides, you can’t keep ignoring your company.”
“I brought my computer here. I can deal with company matters online. You two should head back.”
Well, since he insists, I don’t think I should keep persuading him, Jeremy thought as he told Curtis to call him if the latter needed his help. Then, he left the condominium with Wyatt.
Wyatt drove to the condominium in his car, so he offered to send Jeremy back home.
When Jeremy entered the vehicle, he noticed the small decorations in the car were gone, including the sticker with the words “Jessie’s personal seat.”
Then, as he thought about Wyatt’s expression when they first met earlier, he realized what had happened.
Jeremy wasn’t in a hurry to leave the car when it arrived at his home. Instead, he turned to Wyatt. “You only had an engagement with Jessica, Wyatt. It’s easy for you two to split up if she doesn’t love you anymore. I know you’re always capable of letting things go. However, if something big really did happen between the two of you, you should leave her amicably. Don’t make things difficult for her.”
The edges of Wyatt’s lips curved upward. “Hey, I’m always sensible when it comes to women. Don’t talk as if I can’t or won’t let her go after breaking up with her. I won’t trouble her, all right?”
Glancing at him, Jeremy sighed. “I hope so.”
Then he left the vehicle.
Wyatt’s smile slowly vanished before he drove to Norwal City’s famous Zenisan Villa. The journey took him twenty minutes.
He navigated into the area familiarly and parked his car in front of an independent mansion.
Then, he arrived in front of the door and pressed the doorbell.
The housekeeper glanced at him when opening the door before swiftly lowering her head and greeting him in a slightly shaky voice. “Mr. Lopez.”
Wyatt had a feeling something bad had occurred and asked coldly, “What happened?”
“It’s Ms. Marsh. She turned the blanket into a rope and used it during her escape attempt. However, the ‘rope’ wasn’t secure, and she broke her leg after falling on the lawn…”
In response to hearing that, he glowered and rudely pushed the housekeeper aside before striding upstairs.
He couldn’t even bother to open the door properly and kicked it open. When he entered the room, he saw Jessica was about to leave the bed. Her right leg was bruised, and her arm had plenty of scrape marks on them.
