“Strange?” Justin frowned.
“It’s not surprising for your older brother to be able to access the medicine, considering he was deeply involved in Meridan for many years. The Reeds were willing to work with the Salvador family because of him.”
Bella’s beautiful face darkened. “But how did Christopher manage to get it?”
This question left Justin puzzled.
“He’s the abandoned son of the Iverson family who has been living in Sentania. How could he possibly have connections in Meridan?”
The more Bella thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She said, “I’ve got this eerie feeling that perhaps Christopher might know your older brother.”
Justin blurted out, “How is that possible?”
But then he immediately recalled that the woman named Clarice Amaryllis had the same scent as Christopher.
Although it was too quick to assume they knew each other based on this alone, that suspicion lingered in his mind and would not go away.
Suddenly, there was a loud, urgent knock on the door!
The two exchanged a glance and quickly got up to open it.
Standing outside was another one of Wyatt’s executive assistants. It was not Quentin, but still a trusted confidant.
“Ms. Thompson! There’s an emergency!” The secretary was extremely anxious, sweating profusely.
Bella’s heart skipped a beat. “Is it about my father?!”
Justin quickly wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace and silently comforting her.
