After repeatedly expressing his concerns, Jean, despite his unease, had no choice but to hang up the phone.
About two minutes later, Ian walked in.
“Mr. Beauvort, I've found out about Kyra's current situation. Her health is indeed a bit off. She has been to many hospitals recently for examinations, but none of them have been able to diagnose her illness...”
Still frustrated over Neera's situation, the last thing Jean wanted to hear at that crucial moment was news concerning Kyra. Right now, the only thing he cared about was Neera.
Jean yanked off his meticulously tied tie irritably.
“Let's not bother about her. She can do as she pleases,” Jean said, his tone clearly exuding impatience.
Ian nodded his head. Not daring to provoke Jean, he quickly made his exit.
Meanwhile, Kyra was enjoying a glass of red wine leisurely at Alex's castle.
The dark red liquid gently swayed in the tall glass, wafting waves of intoxicating aroma.
She sipped her drink contentedly, her mood incredibly uplifted.
“According to my calculations, the symptoms have already started showing over there, right?”
Beside her, Alex also poured himself a glass of wine.
“Of course. Our family's secret drug is very effective. There's no way it will fail.”
Kyra nodded. Then, she asked, “Neera is quite skilled in medicine. Will she be able to detect this drug? Can she trace it back to you?”
Alex raised an eyebrow. “Are you that concerned about me?”
Kyra winked. “Well, I'm just worried that I might drag you down with me.”
However, she was merely looking out for herself.
If Neera traced the drug back to Alex, Kyra would undoubtedly be implicated as well. She had to ensure that everything was foolproof.
Otherwise, she must be prepared for all eventualities.
Perhaps her feigned affection was too convincing, Alex actually fell for it.
Gazing at her with deep affection, he promised, “Rest assured, Kyra. Our family has never revealed this drug to anyone else, so it's very difficult to trace it back to us. Even if there are any slip-ups, I will cover them up.”
Hearing his reassurance, Kyra felt relieved.
“Alex, thank you for everything you've done for me.”
She feigned a gentle gaze at him, clinked glasses, and tilted her head back to drink. Yet, a glint of shrewdness flashed in the depths of her eyes as she thought about how she had made a decent move in this game of chess.
Kyra had heard that Alex's family members were pharmacists a hundred years ago.
The difference between pharmacists and traditional doctors is that doctors cure diseases and save lives while pharmacists are simply responsible for researching and preparing medications.
The ancestors of Alex's family were the ones who developed the drug which could spread and cause reactions similar to allergies.
Kyra never really liked Neera to begin with.
To her, Neera was nothing more than an ordinary person with neither a notable background nor chastity.
Why can such a distasteful person win over Jean's heart?
What was even more infuriating was that Neera's worth and reputation became outrageously prominent, not to mention that she had exceptional medical skills.
Kyra wasn't even close to her!
It was at that moment she felt that the heavens were unjust.
Why are all the good things taken by Neera?
Kyra couldn't bear to watch Neera live the life everyone envied without doing anything. So, she turned to Alex and asked him to devise a plan.
Luckily, Alex was easy to appease because he still had lingering affection for her. He came up with the plan for her to feign illness and seek treatment from Neera.
Then, she spread the disease to Neera through someone at the research center...
“By the way, there's something I don't quite understand. If you were just pretending to be sick, why did you have to visit so many hospitals?”
Kyra smiled, brimming with confidence and satisfaction.
“Since I've publicly claimed that I'm ill, I must play my part to the end to prevent any discerning individuals from suspecting anything.”
Just then, another thought occurred to her.
“Now that you're here, there's actually one more thing that I'd like to ask for your help.”
Alex always catered to her requests. “Tell me, what is it?”
“Find a way to anonymously spread the word that Neera's research institute has developed a harmful drug. Also, I need to expose myself to this allergen so that we can pin the blame on her for harming people!”
Since Neera takes pride in her medical skills, I might as well ruin her reputation. Let her carry all the blame!
Medical genius?
I will turn her into an extremely wicked and ruthless doctor! I will orchestrate her fall and make the whole world despise and scorn her!
After hearing that, Alex chuckled. “I thought it was going to be something major. This is a piece of cake! Don't worry, leave it to me!”
