Chapter 413
Kenneth coldly watched Simon leave and said to Cassandra indifferently, “He wants to take over all Dominic’s business.”
It was wrong.
It was destined to be a restless night. Dominic had been arrested and all his business associates would be arrested tonight.
Cassandra’s bone–softening pill would go in vain if the Falcon Special Operations. Force, the Air Force and the Marine Corps, and the Narcotics Squad in Hydias couldn’t eliminate Dominic’s lair.
That was worth a lot of money.
“Of course. Look at how excited Simon was. I guess he has been coveting Dominic’s business for long. He won’t give up this opportunity.” Cassandra stated carelessly.
She was all too familiar with the risks involved in pursuing wealth. That was to say, he would make a lot more money than others if he took advantage of this opportunity an hour sooner than others.
Besides, drugs were very profitable, and Simon wouldn’t let this chance slip away.
“I hope our men can catch Simon during this action. That will save us a lot of trouble.” Kenneth liked this idea was good, but it was not plausible.
Simon wouldn’t get involved in such matters in person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent Leva to do it.
It seemed that Leva’s position was higher than Julius’s.
The next day, Simon’s face was gloomy. Recently, receiving treatment had been his happiest moment, but he seemed off today.
Cassandra said, “You’d better stay upbeat during my treatment. We can postpone it another time if you are not feeling well now.”
Simon glared at Faye. “What did you say?”
Cassandra replied fearlessly, “I don’t think I need to repeat it!”
Simon abruptly pulled a gun on Cassandra out of rage. “Do you really think highly of yourself, Dr. Quirke?”

Chapter 413
Cassandra rolled her eyes contemptuously before sitting down on the couch. “You can shoot me. But before that, think about who will die first. Once the treatment starts, your life will be in danger unless I call it off. I can let you die at any time if you piss me off. Go ahead if you don’t believe me. It’s not bad to have you die with
me.”
Cassandra didn’t think that Simon dared to shoot her. His behavior today might have been a result of him venting his anger because his actions yesterday did not go as planned.
Julius made an effort to resolve the conflict. Grinning, he moved to stand between Cassandra and the gun and uttered, “Dr. Quirke, calm down. Leva is missing. Our boss is upset today. Please forgive him.”
Julius said so to tell Cassandra that Leva was missing, which meant that Leva might have been arrested.
That was why Simon was upset.
After “appeasing” Cassandra, Julius looked at Simon, put away his gun, and said. earnestly, “Dr. Quirke is our guest. She’s here to treat you. Shouldn’t we focus on the negotiation in three days now?”
Simon finally came back to his senses. He took back the pistol and said in a much. kinder tone, “I’m sorry, Dr. Quirke. I didn’t mean to offend you.”
He was really too reckless just now. If he offended Dr. Quirke again, it would be a great loss for him.
Cassandra ignored Simon, not planning to continue her treatment. She just sat on the couch without looking at anyone.
Simon was filled with embarrassment but more with rage now. However, he had no way to let it out!
After around fifteen minutes, Cassandra spoke, “Simon, I want you to remember that I don’t like violence and hate people pointing guns at me. Threats are the last. thing I fear. No one can threaten me. Like you guys, I always have a plan B.”
Cassandra made plan B when it came to Simon. After all, the people she had saved in the past were not as dangerous as Simon. That was why she had to take precautions when dealing with Simon.
Simon’s face darkened all of a sudden. He didn’t expect Faye to have taken precautions. Did she mean that if he accidentally killed her now, he would shortly.

die as well?
What a marvelous person! If she were one of us….
“I apologize for my action. Leva didn’t come back like most of my men did. Some of the men lost their lives during their missions last night. I am very worried about her,” Simon explained truthfully.
It was not a secret that Leva had vanished.
The whole world knew that he was a drug dealer. Why should he be bothered that Faye would find that out?
Cassandra said nothing more but took out the medicine and began to treat Simon.
When it was done, someone came in and whispered in Simon’s ear, “Boss, Leva hast been arrested.”
Cassandra was appreciative that her ears could pick up on the whisper. Simon’s face darkened, but he didn’t flip out because Cassandra was present. He held back his anger and waited for her to leave.
Cassandra found it awkward to stay here longer, so she packed up her medical kit and left right away.
Inside Simon’s room, he asked with a cold face, “What the hell is going on?”
“The Narcotics Squad in Hydias and Falcon Special Operations Force assisted with yesterday’s operation. They were allegedly sent here while participating in a border exercise in Hydias.”
The man didn’t dare to say that the police were sent to arrest them. Although it was true, the boss would destroy them all if he said so.
