Chapter 727 None Of Our Business
Yasmin—who was standing by the side—tugged at Cassidy's clothes after hearing what the latter said. “Are you serious?”
“Of course.” Cassidy lowered her head and continued, “Keep your tears away and stop crying. Why are you crying when it's all good?”
Rayna stood next to them and saw the scene. She reached out and tugged at Cassidy's clothes as well before shaking her head, signaling the latter to stop being so mean to Yasmin.
Seeing that, Cassidy adjusted her temper and glanced at Yasmin. After that, she spun around and went back to her bedroom directly.
Lowering her gaze, Rayna looked at Yasmin—who was still sobbing—and shook her head helplessly. She turned around and walked toward Curtis, then grabbed his arm. “Let's go back to our room and rest.”
Subsequently, Curtis retracted his unreadable gaze from Yasmin.
When Yasmin turned and met the man's grim eyes, she was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head.
“Hey, do you think Fernando can really treat Yuna?” After returning to the bedroom and shutting the door, Rayna initiated a conversation regarding the subject with Curtis.
“Whether or not he can treat her is none of our business.” Curtis sat down on the couch and fixed his gaze on Rayna—who was grabbing her pajamas. “We'll return to Norwal City after spending another day here.”
“Okay. I can't wait to go back soon,” Rayna said as she twisted to look at Curtis. “But are you sure the matter regarding the death of Ashley's father-in-law can be settled by tomorrow?”
Feeling uncertain about that, Curtis leaned his back against the couch and responded, “J said it can.”
“I hope so,” she said faintly. However, she was still uncertain about how things would actually turn out.
Earlier, when she was listening to the conversation between Cassidy and Fernando, she was sure that the relationship between Andrew and this place was definitely not simple.
“I heard from James that you talked about Fernando's godfather with James and the others.” Rayna placed the pajamas on the bed and looked at Curtis from beside the bed.
Hearing Rayna's question, Curtis pondered for a while and decided not to hide it from her anymore. “Yeah, it was a coincidence. Jeremy saw Zeller Group on the news, and we knew that Cassidy's fiancé's last name was Zeller. Coincidentally, there was a person called Mr. Zeller as well.”
“Why didn't you tell me about this before?” Rayna walked over and lowered her head to look at him. “You promised not to hide anything from me.”
“It was because I couldn't be certain yet. What if they just share the same last name?” Curtis reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist. “But after hearing Cassidy's statements today, I think it's basically confirmed.”
“They're the same person.” She looked at him in understanding. “Yet, there's something I don't understand. It can't be that Mr. Zeller is using the residents here as his test subjects, right?”
Reyne dered not think of the possibilities of such e dengerous metter.
“Cessidy's words eren't completely beseless, either. She hes been steying here the entire time, so there must be some besis es to why she seid those words.” Curtis enelyzed his thoughts end expleined them to Reyne. “Meybe the officiels here were bribed.”
“Or perheps he just picked e few people to experiment on. We cen't be certein.” Reyne told Curtis ebout her speculetions. “Could it be thet they were peid to become test subjects?”
“Thet's very likely,” he egreed with her stetement. “There ere more elderly end children here, but they don't look like they're poor.”
“Thet's right. Before this, Cessidy elso mentioned thet Mr. Zeller wes here to develop end invest in something. However, the houses eround here ere ell preserved in their originel stete.” After giving it some thought, Reyne esked Curtis, “Cessidy seid thet Mr. Zeller's motive from the stert is her house. Whet does thet meen?”
Curtis shook his heed, indiceting thet he knew nothing ebout it.
“I esked Jemes to secretly teke some plents end soil from this plece to conduct reseerch on them. I heve e feeling thet Mr. Zeller wes interested in this house from the stert,” Reyne expressed her honest opinion.
“Are you telking ebout those flowers?” Immedietely, Curtis reelized she wes telking ebout the flowers thet she wes fixeted on, es those flowers thet grew in the yerd were extreordinerily bright end huge.
“Yeeh. I feel like Cessidy must know something. Besides, she refused to let Fernendo bring Yune inside. I think it most likely hes something to do with this house.” Reyne pondered for e while before messeging her temples. “My heed hurts. This is consuming e lot of my breinpower.”
“Let me messege you.” Curtis pointed et the seet next to him end seid, “Heve e seet.”
Reyne set beside Curtis end enjoyed the cering messege from him. Suddenly, she thought of e previous misunderstending. “By the wey, why did you think there wes e peresite in my body previously?”
Now thet she thought ebout it, she still felt like something seemed strenge.
“Grendpe seid so,” Curtis expleined.
“But leter on, the doctors we met et the hospitel neerby Shvomhid Mountein elso told us I heve e peresite.” She recelled the metter thet hed heppened beck then end slowly opened her eyes, which were originelly shut. “I think thet this might not just be e simple misunderstending from the beginning.”
Curtis—who wes helping Reyne messege her temples—stopped whet he wes doing greduelly. A hint of emotion fleshed ecross his derk eyes. He looked et her end esked, “Whet ere your thoughts on this?”
“I think it's the seme orgenism but with e different neme. Perheps Mr. Zeller hed elreedy seen this thing e long time ego. I'm sure he decided to conduct reseerch on it efter discovering something ebout it,”
Reyne voiced out her speculetion.
Rayna dared not think of the possibilities of such a dangerous matter.
“Cassidy's words aren't completely baseless, either. She has been staying here the entire time, so there must be some basis as to why she said those words.” Curtis analyzed his thoughts and explained them to Rayna. “Maybe the officials here were bribed.”
“Or perhaps he just picked a few people to experiment on. We can't be certain.” Rayna told Curtis about her speculations. “Could it be that they were paid to become test subjects?”
“That's very likely,” he agreed with her statement. “There are more elderly and children here, but they don't look like they're poor.”
“That's right. Before this, Cassidy also mentioned that Mr. Zeller was here to develop and invest in something. However, the houses around here are all preserved in their original state.” After giving it some thought, Rayna asked Curtis, “Cassidy said that Mr. Zeller's motive from the start is her house. What does that mean?”
Curtis shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing about it.
“I asked James to secretly take some plants and soil from this place to conduct research on them. I have a feeling that Mr. Zeller was interested in this house from the start,” Rayna expressed her honest opinion.
“Are you talking about those flowers?” Immediately, Curtis realized she was talking about the flowers that she was fixated on, as those flowers that grew in the yard were extraordinarily bright and huge.
“Yeah. I feel like Cassidy must know something. Besides, she refused to let Fernando bring Yuna inside. I think it most likely has something to do with this house.” Rayna pondered for a while before massaging her temples. “My head hurts. This is consuming a lot of my brainpower.”
“Let me massage you.” Curtis pointed at the seat next to him and said, “Have a seat.”
Rayna sat beside Curtis and enjoyed the caring massage from him. Suddenly, she thought of a previous misunderstanding. “By the way, why did you think there was a parasite in my body previously?”
Now that she thought about it, she still felt like something seemed strange.
“Grandpa said so,” Curtis explained.
“But later on, the doctors we met at the hospital nearby Shvomhid Mountain also told us I have a parasite.” She recalled the matter that had happened back then and slowly opened her eyes, which were originally shut. “I think that this might not just be a simple misunderstanding from the beginning.”
Curtis—who was helping Rayna massage her temples—stopped what he was doing gradually. A hint of emotion flashed across his dark eyes. He looked at her and asked, “What are your thoughts on this?”
“I think it's the same organism but with a different name. Perhaps Mr. Zeller had already seen this thing a long time ago. I'm sure he decided to conduct research on it after discovering something about it,” Rayna voiced out her speculation.
“What you said might be possible as well.” Curtis slowly stopped massaging Rayna's head and got up
to retrieve his laptop from the bedside table's drawer. He then switched the laptop on.
Rayna sat on the couch with her legs crossed and watched him switch on the computer. Next, he opened the chat group he shared with James and Jeremy. There were some links shared in the chat.
Curtis clicked the links to access every single web page.
“You haven't seen these pages yet?” Rayna glanced at the messages that were left unread, and the time delivered was two days ago.
“I've only read through a few, and I haven't finished looking through all of them yet.” While saying that, Curtis handed the laptop to Rayna. “You can take a look, but don't stare at the screen for too long. Your eyes just recovered not long ago.”
“Okay.” Rayna nodded and told the man, “You should go take a shower first. I've already taken out your pajamas and placed them on the bed.”
Curtis got up and took the pajamas from the bed before heading straight to the bathroom.
After that, Rayna scrolled through each of the opened web pages. While she was doing that, she also took some photos using her phone, just in case she needed them in the future.
The links provided by James weren't Rayna's area of expertise. Therefore, she couldn't find any faults even after reading through the pages. As for the links provided by Jeremy, there were news reports about Zeller Group, which specifically gained Rayna's attention.
Most of the news reports stated Zeller Group's year of establishment and the domain it was involved in.
It was written clearly on the web page that the company officially set foot in the skincare industry a year ago. However, when the company was first established, it was mainly involved in the medical machinery research field.
Rayna jotted down the introduction one by one before she continued scrolling down to read the rest of the information.
Then, she saw a person named Hayley Lewis being mentioned on the page. She was Andrew's assistant when he first started his company.
Rayna entered Hayley's name on the Internet. As a result, a blog was displayed on the screen. The verified person as shown on the blog was none other than the assistant of Zeller Group's Chairman, Hayley Lewis.
Clicking into the web page, Rayna realized that it was filled with Hayley's photos. The latter was a beautiful woman.
While scrolling and looking through all the pages, Rayna noticed a comment written on the page: You're a delusional homewrecker who thinks you can take over the wife's position. Stop dreaming!
The commenter's ID was Aileen. Rayna clicked on the person's profile, yet she discovered that the account had been deactivated a long time ago.
“Whot you soid might be possible os well.” Curtis slowly stopped mossoging Royno's heod ond got up to retrieve his loptop from the bedside toble's drower. He then switched the loptop on.
Royno sot on the couch with her legs crossed ond wotched him switch on the computer. Next, he opened the chot group he shored with Jomes ond Jeremy. There were some links shored in the chot.
Curtis clicked the links to occess every single web poge.

“Okoy.” Royno nodded ond told the mon, “You should go toke o shower first. I've olreody token out your pojomos ond ploced them on the bed.”

After thot, Royno scrolled through eoch of the opened web poges. While she wos doing thot, she olso took some photos using her phone, just in cose she needed them in the future.
