Donald’s mother Julia Holt brought her aiming daughter-in-law to Donald’s apartment.
However, she did not expect that when she opened the door, she would see Donald messing up with a man on the sofa, which shocked her a lot.
“Donald, you… How can you do that?”
Julia couldn’t finish her sentence as she covered her mouth, tears in her eyes.
For so many years, Donald had never looked for a girlfriend. Julia thought that it was all because Donald had failed to walk out from Nicole’s death.
She never thought that Donald would mess with a man.
The girl standing next to Julia also widened her eyes in disbelief when she saw Donald hugging James.
Donald had always been cold to her. She had thought that there was something wrong with her, so she had worked hard to make him satisfied.
Now everything was explained. It was not her problem. He simply rejected her because he was gay!
Donald turned his head in surprise. When he saw the faces of the two women standing by the door change, he knew that they had misunderstood. He quickly got up from James.
“Mom, don’t make it wrong. This… This is my friend.”
However, James was not cooperative. He placed his arm on Donald’s shoulder and smiled seductively at the two women.
“Right. Boy… Friend!”
Julia and the girl were stunned.
“Shut up.”
Donald stood up angrily and wanted to explain.
“Mom, listen. He and I…”
James stood up. Because he was taller than Donald, he could naturally wrap his arm around Donald’s waist.
The next minute, James glanced at Donald coldly and whispered into his ear.
“Don’t you want to get rid of them so that you can find your girl without distractions? I’ll help you. You owe me this!”
“But…”
“What? It is your honor that I allow you to like me!”
Donald fell silent.
It was indeed a tempting offer.
Ever since the news of Nicole’s death came, Julia had been giving him blind dates time after time and wanted him to find a wife.
Couldn’t bear the disturbance, he had fled abroad to work in NK City.
Now, in order to investigate Nicole’s matter, he had no choice but to return. Recently, Julia had brought all sorts of wealthy young ladies to him every now and then.
He did not care about reputation. If James could help him solve this problem, he was willing to act.
“Oh, right! This is my dear.”
Donald lay in James’ arms like a girl and even gently punched James in the chest.
James couldn’t help but tremble and had goose bumps all over his body. He felt extremely disgusted.
Donald suppressed his temper and said to Julia in a coquettish voice.
“Mom, didn’t you always want me to find the one I love? Now I have found him. Well, this is the one. He is rich, powerful, and has a figure.”
“Donald, my son…”
“No, I can’t take it anymore. Take me to the hospital.” Julia stared at him blankly and clutched her heart in pain.
The girl next to her was flustered.
James pushed Donald away in disgust. He tugged at his shirt as his cold brown eyes on the girl.
“Take Mrs. Hack to the hospital. If anything happens to her, you will be the murderer. The Hack family will never let you off!”
“O… OK. I… I’ll take Mrs. Hack to the hospital.” The girl fearfully supported Julia and left.
After the two left, Donald pulled his shirt straight before he sat on the sofa with a serious expression.
Seeing that James was about to leave, he raised her eyebrows and asked, “Dear, you smell of alcohol all over your body. Why don’t you change your clothes?”
“Disgusting!” James shrugged in disgust.
Donald gave no response.
He gloomily picked up an apple on the table and smashed it over. James dodged promptly and left with a bang on the door.
…
Since he had promised James that he would investigate the Abbot family, Donald didn’t want to waste any time and immediately started investigating.
He made an appointment with James to go to the archives of the private doctor of the Abbot family to see if they could find any clues.
The Abbots had worked on pharmaceuticals for generations, and the Abbot family had successive medical skills, so the private doctor was also one of the Abbots.
The private doctor’s family had served the Abbot family from generation to generation. The previous receiver was Howard, and now it was the head of the Abbot family, Kason.
The two set up everything needed, put on their equipment, and climbed over the walls to enter the archives, avoiding the cameras in various places.
When they arrived at the archives and saw that the walls were fully covered with medical materials, Donald could not help but admit how the Abbot family valued health.
Then why was it easy for the children of the Abbot family to get sick?
They searched for information about Vivian, but nothing was found. Both of them were confused.
Since they recorded the physical condition of the Abbots, they should have records about Vivian and Veronica.
“Mr. James, look. There’s a lock.”
James quickly walked to the front of Donald and suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. It was too gentle to be noticed but very aggressive.
James reacted immediately and he quickly pulled Donald to the ground.
Donald raised his head and heard a gust of wind blow past his ears. When he raised his head again, he saw a few sharp arrows flying over.
If not for James pulling him in time, he was probably killed at the moment.
“What the hell is this? There’s actually a mechanism hidden here. Why is the Abbot family so mysterious?”
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Donald’s back. He was scared.
“Maybe there is a secret.”
James put on a special pair of glasses and saw that there were infrared rays on those arrows.
“Be careful. Follow my movements. Don’t touch those infrared rays. Otherwise, both of us will die here today.”
Listening to James’ serious tone, Donald was frightened and slowly followed James’ movements.
The two climbed up to the shelf and found that there were words and prescriptions engraved on the lock.
A prescription being locked up like that must be very important!
Moreover, it was locked up in the Abbot family’s own archive room. Were they hiding it from the other members of the Abbot family?
Layers of fog covered the truth. James and Donald looked at each other. Now they were more interested in the things being locked.
“Is it the elixir for life, the list of medicine for eternal youth, or the prescription for killing people without blood?” Donald joked.
It was said that the ancestors of the Abbot family refine pills. As for people who refine pills, the more they refine pills, the better effects they had.
The Abbot family had made their business big relied on those medicines. They used to be the industry leader in the pharmaceutical industry.
But more than ten years ago, for some reason, their business suddenly went down and the Abbots wanted to escape abroad. In the end, they settled down in Country R and still did pharmaceutical business.
James glanced at Donald as if he was looking at an idiot.
Everyone had studied science since they were young, so they all knew there was no such thing as medicine for immortality and eternal youth.
He took out his phone and made a video call to Nolan for help.
They had just walked in when they met the hidden weapons. So it was hard to tell if there would be accidents.
Nolan immediately investigated, looked at the shape and gear of the lock, and then found experts in this field to find the trick of the lock.
James listened to Nolan’s words with a complicated look in his eyes.
“Let’s leave this place first and pay a visit to the owner of this lock tomorrow.”
This was a password lock. Unlocking needed the fingerprints.
So if they wanted to unlock it, they needed to contact Kason.
“Then I’m really looking forward to what kind of secret is hidden here that makes it so mysterious.”
