His Precious Love

Chapter 73 Because Of A Woman

Jefferson let out a chuckle and said, “I’m glad you feel that way, Mr. Faymon. However, I have no use for

this finger, so I’ll have someone mail it over to you.”

“Have him release Kristie. I’m not known to have a good temper either,” Curtis said calmly. I couldn’t care

less what Jefferson does to Aunt Sienna, but I won’t just sit by and watch him hurt Kristie!

“I’m afraid that’s not possible. She needs to be punished for what she did. How about this? I’ll let her go if

she can survive three minutes in the ocean,” Jefferson replied with a sadistic grin.

Curtis clenched his fists tightly but maintained a smile on his face. “Go ahead and try.”

Only a few have dared challenge him in life.

Jefferson’s grin widened when he felt Curtis’ intimidating aura through the screen. He was about to have

Ringo drop her when he heard a sudden, loud noise.

The next thing he knew, the phone fell to the floor, and Ringo could be heard groaning in pain.

A few seconds later, someone else picked up the phone.

“Mr. Faymon, I have secured Ms. Winton, but that guy jumped off the cliff and ran. Should I have

someone chase after him?” James asked coldly as he appeared on screen wearing a black beanie.

Curtis breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that. Wow… Not only is this young man great at sniping and

designing stuff, but he’s also skilled in hand-to-hand combat!

Jefferson was finally starting to show some fear when he recognized James.

He first saw James when he met up with Roxanne a while back. That was how he knew about Rayna

having a younger brother. Jefferson was planning on roping James in at first, but he never had the

chance to.

I was not expecting James to be that skilled in fighting! On top of that, he’s on Curtis’ side!

Of course, Ringo wasn’t the only person on the cliff. There were others hidden nearby, but Jefferson

decided not to have them attack James because he was Rayna’s brother. He then motioned at the man

standing next to him and had him make a phone call.

“You sure have a lot of talented individuals on your side, Mr. Faymon. I can’t believe he took down my

most skilled bodyguard. It looks like I have no choice but to hand this woman back to you.”

“Feel free to visit me in Chanaea anytime, Mr. Hamilton,” Curtis said.

“I’ll be sure to take you up on your invitation, Mr. Faymon. Please try to keep your people under control,

though. I won’t always be so kind, you know?” Jefferson replied before hanging up, leaving Curtis and

James in the video call.

“I’ll bring Ms. Winton and this phone back to you, Mr. Faymon,” James said.

“You can discard the phone. I doubt there is anything useful in it.” Curtis knew full well how cautious

Jefferson was. He figured that subordinate wouldn’t have left the phone behind if it contained important

information.

“Understood.”

Curtis then placed his phone down on the coffee table and kept quiet.

Gabriel, who was standing next to him at the time, felt as though the temperature in the room was

dropping rapidly.

“Call Quadrius. I want every information I can get on Jefferson!” Curtis ordered coldly.

This guy had the audacity to kidnap Kristie. I need to find out who he is and make him pay for what he

did!

As Gabriel went off to make the phone call, the female doctor stepped out of the bedroom and said in

Anglandurn, “Mr. Faymon, the PO3 inhibitor isn’t working on her either.”

The PO3 inhibitor is a powerful drug used to reduce the effects of strong aphrodisiacs. It’s very

expensive and is known for its high efficacy. If it doesn’t work on Rayna, then the drug she has been

injected with must be of a much higher level. How the heck did Kristie get her hands on something this

potent?

“That b*stard!” Curtis cursed under his breath.

After taking a moment to keep his anger suppressed, Curtis asked the doctor, “What if we retrieve a

sample of the drug from her blood and send it to a lab? How long would it take for them to come up with

an antidote?”

“At least six hours.”

“Get it done. I’ll watch over her.”

“Um, I’m not sure if that’s going to work, Mr. Faymon.” The doctor glanced at the bedroom as she

continued, “I don’t think she’ll last long enough for me to bring you the antidote.”

Curtis frowned. “It’s just an aphrodisiac, right? I’ll just keep her immersed in cold water, then.”

The doctor had no choice but to explain the situation to him.

Curtis was frozen in shock after hearing the doctor’s explanation. The look in his eyes was so cold that

the doctor shivered in fear as she awaited his instructions.

The silence in the living room was broken by the faint moans coming from the bedroom.

There was a combination of pain and pleasure in Rayna’s voice.

After about fifteen minutes, Curtis glanced at the bedroom door with a gloomy look in his eyes.

“Get out,” he said coldly.

The doctor quickly went back into the bedroom to pack her stuff. Rayna’s sobs and moans got even

louder when the doctor opened the door. Curtis’ body was incredibly tense as he stood there and

watched.

A few minutes later, he was the only one left in the house.

As the bedroom door was left ajar, Curtis could clearly hear Rayna’s moans coming from inside. Right

when he was about to enter the bedroom, he recalled something and grabbed his phone from the coffee

table.

He then dialed a number and made a phone call, which got through within seconds.

A familiar voice came on the other line. “What’s up, Curtis?”

“Is it true what you told me about that drug?”

“Which drug?”

“FX1236. You said it could erase a person’s memories of the past twelve hours.”

“It’s true, but the drug is still in the development phase.” Realizing something was amiss, the guy asked,

“Why would you want to know about this drug, Curtis? Do you need it urgently?”

“Yes, I need one.”

Curtis was interested in Rayna when he saw her drunk at the bar because she was still somewhat

conscious. Now that she was completely out of it, he didn’t feel like laying a finger on her at all. He was

only willing to do it because the doctor said it’d take too long to formulate an antidote. He wanted to wipe

Rayna’s memories because he didn’t want her to think he raped her. Besides, it wasn’t his style to have

sex with a woman without her consent.

“I don’t mind getting you the drug, but you need to tell me what you need it for. After all, you did tell me

that this drug I’m developing is a dangerous substance!” Jeremy York said with a mischievous smirk.

Curtis let out a snicker when he heard that. “I’m surprised you have the audacity to hold a grudge against

me! Anyway, I want one sent over within five hours. In return, I’ll sponsor your research for the next three

years, regardless of what it is you’re developing.”

Given the situation he was in, he had no choice but to play along with Jeremy.

“Where are you right now, Curtis?”

“Tyrandas.”

Jeremy, who was always well-mannered and sophisticated, exclaimed in shock, “What the f*ck? That’s

so far away! There’s no way I could get it delivered within five hours!” After taking a moment to calm

down and analyze the situation, he asked, “Why do you need the drug so urgently, Curtis? Is it because

of a woman?”

Curtis simply kept quiet in response.

As Rayna’s sobbing and moaning grew increasingly louder, Jeremy was able to hear it over the phone.

“Ahem… It looks like you found yourself a wild one, Curtis! I thought you were free of lust, but it seems

like I was wrong!” he said while trying to hold his laughter in.

“Jeremy…” Curtis’ tone grew icy-cold in an instant.

“All right, I’ll have someone send it to you right away. It should reach you within five hours. Remember

your promise to sponsor my research for the next three years, okay?” Jeremy replied.

“Yeah, okay.”

For some reason, Curtis was sweating profusely by the time he ended the call. Rayna sounded like she

was in a lot of pain as she continued sobbing and moaning.

Curtis then placed his phone down and made his way over to the bedroom.
