Chapter 686 The Collaboration

Curious, she brushed Fluffy's fur back. "Look at this, Yasmin. What is this?"

Yasmin leaned over and followed Rayna's fingers to have to look. "It looks like a bulge and seems to have been caused by an injury."

Upon hearing that, Rayna stretched out her hand and touched Fluffy's back lightly. There was no response for the first and second touch. However, Fluffy started squeaking loudly on the third touch.

Furious, Fluffy glared at Rayna and Yasmin with its fur puffed out.

"I'm sorry for hurting you." Rayna touched Fluffy's back gently as she spoke.

Fluffy enjoyed Rayna's touch, and its raised fur gradually smoothed down. Then, it leaned against Rayna's lap and made a snuffling sound from time to time.

Rayna found the noise it made familiar and was sure Fluffy was of the same breed as Furry.

Yasmin took the opportunity to touch Fluffy as it had its eyes closed. "It's so comfortable and soft."

To that, Rayna made a gesture signaling Yasmin to keep it down in case she startled Fluffy.

At the warehouse, Cassidy sat in front of the computer to check today's surveillance footage.

Behind her stood Curtis, who took a quick look at the screen.

"Why is there nothing?" Cassidy checked the footage twice but could not find anyone coming close to the gate. The bag had appeared at the entrance all of a sudden.

"Someone must have hacked it," Curtis suggested.

On the screen at 11:18 a.m., there was a flash in the camera footage. Clearly, it was hacked at that time, although the screen still showed the scene of the gate.

"Look here. Before 11:18 a.m., there is no bag here. It only appears after that. The surveillance footage flickered before it appeared." As Curtis spoke, he took the mouse from Cassidy, slowed down the playback speed of the footage, and watched it frame by frame.

"Look, there's someone here!" The observant Cassidy noticed a figure appearing at the gate before the surveillance footage flickered.

Immediately, Curtis paused the footage and zoomed in on the figure. "It's too blurry. I can't see clearly."

"Here, can you zoom in on this part?" Cassidy pointed to the wrist of the figure on the screen.

Curtis hummed in agreement. Then, he keyed in something to zoom in on the wrist and found the man was wearing emerald rosary beads on his wrist.

Leaning back in the chair, Cassidy gritted her teeth and squeezed out a name. "Fernando!"

"It's him again. It's him again!" Fuming, Cassidy stood up from her chair and rushed out of the warehouse to go to her room.

Curtis stood in the warehouse and continued to watch the surveillance footage. He turned the time back to before his and Rayna's arrival. At around 5:50 a.m., he saw a white van parked at the gate. No one got out of it, even after a long time. Then, at about 9:10 a.m., the van suddenly left.

Soon after that, he and Rayna arrived.

Curtis took a photo of the van's car plate number and sent it to Theodore, who was in UImrich. He texted: Please help me find out the owner of this car plate.

Meanwhile, in UImrich, Theodore, who had just come out of the bathroom, heard the buzzing sound of his phone. Thus, he walked to the coffee table and reached for his phone. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Who is it?" Jasmine came out of the bathroom and saw Theodore shirtless, looking at his phone. Then, she thought of the buzzing sound she heard.

"It's Curtis." Then, Theodore replied: Sure. After that, he placed his phone back on the coffee table.

"Is something wrong?" Jasmine walked to the dressing table and sat down. As she applied skincare products on her face, she asked, "Where are he and Rayna now? Did they say?"

"They are in Jayfort now." As Theodore spoke, he put down the towel he used to dry his hair on the couch. "The old traditional medicine practitioner they were looking for at Shvomhid Mountain had passed away a few years prior. Later on, someone told them about another person, so Curtis and Rayna went to search for that person."

“Hopefully, everything will go smoothly for them, and they'll return safely soon." After finishing her skincare routine, Jasmine approached Theodore. "Why don't Jeremy, James, and you make a trip to Jayfort? Maybe you three can help them.”

"We'll see after a few days. If they don't return by then, I'll ask Jeremy and James to go. I'll stay behind, just in case." Theodore stretched out his arm to hug Jasmine and touched her waist as his eyes flashed with distress. "You must be exhausted because of Glory these days."

"No, I'm fine. I'm only temporarily managing Glory's matters," Jasmine comforted Theodore.

"I'm sure you're worn out." Theodore's arms remained wrapped around Jasmine's waist as they walked to the couch to sit down. "With there being a problem with Glory's skincare product, the PR department has been working overnight every day, and you had to be interviewed every day. How can you not be exhausted?"

"I'll take it as training." Jasmine smiled. “In fact, I've gained a lot from this experience with Glory this time.”

Theodore raised his eyebrow after hearing that and asked solemnly, "Why do you say so?"

"Sanders Group mainly works on advertising design and isn't well versed in other fields. Now that I'm temporarily managing Glory, I'm thinking maybe Sanders Group can try to expand into different industries." Jasmine leaned in Theodore's arms and continued, "When Rayna returns, I'll find time to talk to her about a collaboration."

"Are you sure?" Theodore lowered his eyes to look at her. "The beauty industry is very different from the advertising design industry, and the risks involved are much higher."

"Well, there are always risks in investment!" Jasmine raised her eyes to look at Theodore. "Don't let the fear of losing keep you from trying. How do you know you won't succeed if you don't try?"

"All right, let's do it since you've already made up your mind." Theodore planted a kiss on Jasmine's forehead as he spoke. "Let's go on a vacation after Rayna and Curtis return."

"Okay." Jasmine bobbed her head.

They had been very busy with work these days.

Jasmine had to be in charge of Sanders Group and Glory simultaneously and was worn out.

On Theodore's side, things were not any better. He spent all day at the research center, contacting hospitals from all over the world in search of an eye expert in case Curtis and Rayna needed it. At the same time, he had to look for the Burke family, hoping they could remove the parasite from Rayna's body.

Meanwhile, in Jayfort.

"What's going on upstairs?" Rayna heard Cassidy's raging voice from the second floor and asked Yasmin, who was beside her, "Is Cassidy speaking in dialect?"

"Yes, she's speaking in dialect. Ms. Cassidy is on the phone with Nando now, and she's scolding him," Yasmin answered as she sat on the couch to play with Fluffy. Facing Fluffy, she said, "So, it was Nando who sent you here!"
