Chapter 619
Landon had once spoiled Zoe as her brother, but now she felt nothing except fear for him.
“You don’t have an idea? It’s okay as long as I know who he is,” Landon taunted. Then, two bodyguards dragged Gary into the
house. He had been beaten into a pulp.
Zoe gasped and covered her mouth in shock as she watched the trail of blood left behind by Gary as he
was dragged inside.
“Gary, you’ve served me for a decade, and I’ve treated you well over the years. for dead on the streets if it hadn’t been for my
help,” Landon began.
You would have been left
He took a seat on the chair Angelina had pulled out for him. “Is this how you repay my kindness? Posing as my loyal employee
while groveling to my sister? You’re quite good at this double-agent act.”
“M-Ms. Zoe, save me....” Gary pleaded desperately, as he had no other option.
She quickly averted her gaze from his severely bruised and bloodied face, which made her feel nauseated.
“Angelina, give him the same old punishment,” Landon instructed, taking a drag on his cigarette.
“Yes, Mr. Landon.” Angelina approached Gary with a hot iron and inflicted burns on his body.
The hissing sounds, mixed with Gary’s agonizing groans, were extremely disturbing and sickening.
Zoe screamed, wrapping her arms around her head. She fainted soon after.
Alyssa hadn’t received any updates from Jasper since their night at Jameson’s place, and she had been plagued by nightmares
about him for three consecutive nights.
While she understood that dreams were not necessarily a reflection of reality, their vividness scared her.
Moreover, she had found the patch of blood outside Jameson’s gate. It was particularly unsettling and
frightening.
Mandy knocked on Alyssa’s door and entered the room. She said, “Lyse, this is the medication for the
second treatment.” Then, she placed the medication in front of Alyssa.
Alyssa was in the process of packing her belongings for her return to Solana City. She gladly accepted the medication and
replied, “Thank you, Mandy.”
“Don’t mention it. I would do anything for you,” Mandy said, gently stroking Alyssa’s hair.
Then, she asked, “By the way, how is Jasper’s recovery coming along?
“Do you care about him?” Alyssa asked in surprise.
“No, that’s absurd,” Mandy quickly clarified, distancing herself from Jasper.
“He’s using Lovelace Pharmaceutical’s medication, and I’m naturally interested in how our little test subject is responding. I
would like to gauge its effectiveness.”
Upon hearing this, Alyssa pufsed her lips and felt a touch of frustration. The medication from Lovelace Pharmaceuticals had not
yet received approval for sale as it was still in clinical trials.
Despite the risks, Alyssa had provided the medication to Jasper in an effort to prevent his injuries from worsening, which could
result in long-term side effects.
“He... looks fine. But Mandy, what are
the side effects of the medication?”
Mandy shook her head with a sigh. “I have no clue. That’s why I asked you about his cor Regardless, there are two important
things he should be aware of when he’s on the medication
“First, he must avoid getting injured. Second, he should keep his emotions stable. Emotional turmoil won’t
help his recovery. It will only worsen his condition.”
Alyssa felt a tightness in her chest, and a frown crept across her face. The thought of the bloodstain
weighed heavily on her mind.
