Chapter 406
Julius didn’t know how to respond. He knew lots of people heard that he had risked his life to save Simon three times.
Julius replied with an unnatural look, “I have my reason. It’s none of your business. But what’s your reason?”
Perceiving Julius‘ caution and vigilance, Cassandra frowned and answered, “Because of the money, it’s none of your business either.”
“You! I hope you can think about it. People like Simon don’t deserve to live. healthily. If you give up the treatment, I can give you…”
Hearing some noise outside, Julius deliberately raised his voice and said, “I can give you more.”
The door was pushed open. It was Simon and his men. Simon walked in and asked Julius angrily, “What can you give Dr. Quirke?”
Julius glanced at Cassandra and turned to Simon. “I’m just here to test whether Dr.
Quirke will be tempted by money to give up your treatment. What if he is an unprincipled person who can be bribed easily?”
‘It’s the lamest excuse I’ve ever heard, Cassandra thought secretly.
But Simon seemed to accept it.
He smiled and said, “Well, you’re right. You really should do a test. Good job!” Then he turned to Cassandra and said, “Dr. Quirke, I’m sorry. My brother is just worried about my safety. You know, it is easy for us to be set up by others. Of course, I trust you, so I ask you for help. However, someone might offer a higher price and let you kill me.”
Cassandra was speechless.
She didn’t expect that Simon would believe Julius so easily and felt a little ridiculous that such a person got into the leading position.

Cassandra pretended to be angry and answered, “I have my own principle. Since I accept your money, I’ll be responsible for you. If you don’t believe me, I can refund the money and you can find someone else. If you believe me, don’t play such a clumsy trick again.”
She perceived that Julius had a lot of secrets, but now she was being watched at any

time. It was very hard for her to investigate his background.
The only thing she could do was to wait for the message from Jeremiah.
Simon replied with a smile, “Don’t worry. It’ll never happen again. He went out to deal with business today, so he didn’t see the process of your treatment. Please don’t pay him any mind.”
After experiencing today’s treatment, Simon was deeply impressed by Cassandra’s excellent skills and extremely admired her.
“Okay. If it happens again, I won’t be so kind.”
Then Simon handed today’s examination results to Cassandra and said with a little admiration, “Dr. Quirke, you are really amazing. I went to the hospital today and was indeed diagnosed with cancer. The doctor said that I was lucky to find it in time. It might not be found out if I did the check a few days earlier.
He was now completely convinced by Cassandra’s competence and expertise, which made him feel more confident in his full recovery.
‘I’m going to start a brand new life! It’s so great!‘ Simon thought joyfully.

The next day, when Cassandra was on her way to Simon’s room to do regular treatment, she heard a loud dispute from outside.
“Who are you? How dare you break in!”
“Piss off or not? I’ll beat you to death!”
“Guys! Beat him to death!”
“How dare you come here to steal heroin. You are courting death!”
Hearing for a short period, Cassandra finally understood what had happened. She couldn’t help but think, ‘Who is it? This guy’s gotten gut to steal drugs from
Simon.’
Out of curiosity, Cassandra walked towards the direction of the noise.
Then she saw a strange face but with very familiar eyes. She didn’t know the reason, but she had a feeling that this person was Kenneth.
“Stop it. Don’t fight anymore,” Cassandra snarled.

Chapter 406
Cassandra was Simon’s guest of honor, and she was greeted by Simon in person. when she came, so hearing her words, all the guards stopped.
“Dr. Quirke, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be treating the boss at this time?” one of the guards asked with a flattering voice..
After all, they had learned a lesson from the past and did not dare to offend Cassandra.
Cassandra ignored them and asked, “Who is he? Why did you beat him like this?”
“Dr. Quirke, this is a thief. We’re teaching him a lesson.”
This man on the ground gave Cassandra a strong sense of familiarity, so she subconsciously wanted to protect him.
“Then hand him to me. He is quite good–looking…”
Cassandra gazed up and down at the man, revealing an interesting smile.
The guard hesitated, but he didn’t dare to offend Faye. Without any choice, they all
went to see Simon.
After hearing the explanation from his subordinate, Simon looked at Cassandra with great interest and said, “I haven’t expected Dr. Quirke to have such an appetite.”
“Have you heard that I have had any girlfriends over the years? That’s because I like young men,” Cassandra said with a smirk.
Simon smiled brightly and said in a very generous tone, “Since you like him, I’ll give him to you. However, he stole my things. I can’t let him go easily.”
Simon was a little curious as to why Cassandra liked such a toyboy.
But at the same time, he was a little suspicious.
“You’re right. What do you want to do?”
“One hand. What do you think?” Simon spoke carelessly, but his tone was full of cruelty.
