Chapter 181
“Green Snake Venom? What’s that? How come I’ve never heard of it?” Tyrion was dumbfounded.
Chase explained, “It’s not a disease, for it attacks one in a most mysterious yet undetectable manner. It’s not to poison either, as it isn’t inherently lethal.
Chase paused for a while and continued, “The venom is akin to vermin. It lurks within the body, hiding and slithering like a snake, hence the name!”
Tyrion felt as if Chase’s words imparted him with newfound knowledge.
Puzzled, he asked, “How did Elena even contract this in the first place?”
Chase thought for a moment and said, “I think you should check with her yourself, see if she has offended or angered anyone.”
Tyrion said blankly, “As far as I’m concerned, Elena had been ill ever since she returned from that survival-themed
variety show in the wilderness half a year ago, Chase replied, “Well, all will become apparent
in due time. Now that your granddaughter is recovering, you should to her rest.”
Tyrion was so grateful that he almost knelt in front of Chase, but Chase stopped him.
“Chase, I have no idea how to thank you!
When you were a student, I treated you so badly. Today, you were humiliated by my granddaughter. Despite all that, not only did you not bear any grudges, you even saved her life. I have no way to repay you for your kindness. Tyrion’s eyes glistened with tears.
Chase responded nonchalantly, “Didn’t I say that I’d take that cup of tea as my reward? Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way. I still have to buy breakfast for my wife.”
Chase opened the door and left right after that.
Elena walked out of the room, garbed in a fresh set of clothes.
From the looks of it, she had no trouble.
walking on her own now that the pain was gone.
Tyrion immediately went up to her, expressing his concern for her health. After Getting reassurance from Elena, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Chase was taking his leave,, Tyrion wanted to see him off, but Elena interjected, “Grandpa, let me see him out.”
Tyrion thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, remember to thank him properly.”
“I know.” Elena’s tone was frigid.
The two of them marched out of the villa in single file before Elena put on her mask again.
As Elena looked at Chase walking in front of her, she felt conflicted.
There was no doubt that Chase was her savior.
It was an even greater boon for her that he managed to treat her strange, puzzling disease right before she was due to shoot her next movie.
Having said that, this d”mn bestard had been stepping over the line again and again!
He even humiliated her with his words!
On top of that, he even laid eyes on her nºked body!
To make it worse, he even rudely commented that she was not as beautiful as his wife!
Elena took pride in her looks ever since she was a child. Of course, she wouldn’t take it lying down when Chase said someone else was better than her!
On many occasions, Elena wanted to dig the brat’s eyes out as payback for his crude remarks.
However, she had to restrain herself.
This was because according to Chase, she could only be truly cured with three more sessions of acupuncture.
Forget it! She would have her revenge once she had recovered from her illness.
Elena caught up with Chase and fiercely said to him, “I won’t forget the humiliation you have brought me today! I’m telling you, if you dare to tell anyone else about today, I will murder you even if I have to travel to the ends of the Earth to do so, Chase replied casually, “I cannot understand where your obsession and
confidence come from. You look no better than a fire match! Believe me, I would rather be blindfolded than look at your body.
Such an eyesore!”
Elena had tried her best to suppress her rage, but it was overflowing again under Chase’s provocation!
A fire match?
Her petite, exquisite body looked like a fire match in his eyes?
“Would it kill you to not say anything mean?!” she thought.
Elena raised her fist, ready to punch Chase.
Out of the blue, a voice rang out from behind. “Chase? It’s you!”
Chase turned to look at the person.
It turned out to be Jane.
Beside Jane stood a middle-aged man with a graceful disposition.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Jane looked at Chase in disbelief and rushed over. “You heartless bestard! Bella is so nice to you, yet you’re here seducing this flirty b*tch!”
Chase stared frigidly and silently at Jane.
Elena, on the other hand, finally erupted.
She had been raging from the moment Chase compared her to a fire match. How dared this middle-aged woman accused her of being a flirty woman!
Was Bella the only beauty left in this whole era?!
Why would everyone compare her with Bella?!
“Slap!” Elena slapped Jane in the face.
Then, she left.
Jane was stunned by this unanticipated stap By the time she came to her senses, both Elena and Chase had already left.
“D”min it! You son of a b*tch, how lawless can you be! Kaleb, arrange for a time for your son to meet with our family tonight. Once this is settled, I will reward you handsomely,” Jane said to her middle-aged companion.
The middle-aged man was Kaleb Liu.
He immediately nodded, “Jane, you should have done this a long time ago. You know how I feel about you. Don’t worry, I will definitely let you experience all the riches and wealth in the world!”
Jane did not look at Kaleb but stared at Chase, who was vanishing into the horizon.
Her tone was vehement. “As long as he remains in our family, I will never be at ease no matter how much wealth and glory I have!”
At dusk, Bella received a phone call frout Jane. “Bella, come to Hilton Hotel right away in the evening. Our family is expecting an honorable guest in the evening, so you must show up.”
Bella was dumbfounded. Jane had been spending most of her day outside. God only knew what she was up to! Why would she ask Bella to attend a dinner function?
Bella instinctively refused, “I don’t want to. You guys go ahead.”
She did not want to be in the presence of the contemptible scoundrels of the Song family.
However, Jane continued over the phone, “The distinguished guest tonight is a senior executive from Lunanica Media, the very same Lunanica Media that was recently advertised to be investing in a medical related movie. Our guest has offered to help us secure a sponsorship position for the movie.
Bella furrowed her brows. After a brief respite, she replied, “Okay, I’ll call Chase.”
Jane shouted over the phone, “There’s no need to call Chase! Do you know what I saw during the day? He was playing around with a vixen! That b*stard has played you out!”
Of course, Bella wouldn’t believe Jane’s accusation.
Even if what Jane saw was true, Bella firmly believed that Chase was innocent.
“If Chase isn’t invited, then I won’t go as well, Bella said with a firm tone.
Fine! Call him then! So he will know how inferior he is compared to the others! I’ll send the address to you later.” Jane hung up the phone.
Bella sighed inwardly and called Chase.
Chase was always at Bella’s beck and call, thus the two of them went to Hilton Hotel together.
They met the Song family at the hotel entrance.
Chase was shocked to see the same middle aged man who was with Jane earlier.
