BuzzNovelChapter 1336 The Person He Loves Has Disappeared Raymond's gaze lingered impatiently on Mario. "Well? Have you reached out to Christopher?" Mashrugged. "He's still dormant. No telling when he'll resurface." Just as Raymond was about to lose his temper, Helen walked in from outside.
Helen said, "Raymond, Lawrence is here. Says he wants to have a proper discussion with you." "Not interested." "He claims to know the location of the research facility. If you want that information, he says you need to agree to marry Tessa." Raymond froze, thinking he must have misheard. How could Lawrence possibly know about the facility? He immediately left to meet Lawrence, who sat formally in a private room, his expression cold when Raymond entered.

"Marry Tessa, and I'll reveal the research facility's location," Lawrence stated bluntly.
Raymond's lips curled into a mocking smile. "There's no way you could know where it is." "You left Tessa deaf and mute, but I've obtained an antidote from the research facility. Her excruciating pain episodes have already subsided. In two months, her sight and voice will return. You know as well as I do that only their advanced medicine could reverse her condition." Raymond remained silent. If Tessa truly recovered, it would indeed confirm the research facility's involvement. Helen's poison was supposedly irreversible, completely destroying the vocal cords. Recovery should have been impossible-unless the facility's brilliant minds intervened.
"I'm offering this deal only because Tessa can be healed," Lawrence continued. "You have three days to decide. Refuse me, and we becundeniable enemies." With that, he stood and departed.

Raymond desperately wanted information about BK and the research facility-he needed to find Selena. But marriage to Tessa would render any reunion with Selena meaningless.
His fingers drummed on the table. "Has Jason returned?" he asked an aide.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"He arrives tonight." "Arrange a meeting." At ten that evening, they met in a discreet establishment. Jason's eyes were underscored by dark circles, clearly exhausted.
Raymond said, "Mr. Smith, while I've arrived in Vistalia, I've had my associates investigating your daughter's situation back home. We're still partners, but I need to know why are you looking into BK?" Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on nov L5sfor uninterrupted enjoyment.

Raymond took a sip of coffee. "To be frank, my lover was taken by someone from BK. It involves this research facility that I know little about. I'm hoping you might shed slight."
Jason stared at his untouched coffee, rubbing his temple. "Years ago, the Hope family had twinsisters-Cora and Octavia. My grandfather, still alive then, had their fortunes read. The prophecy claimed that if I married Octavia, the Smith family would face turmoil. So the Smiths arranged my marriage to Cora instead." Jason's expression softened with nostalgia. "But I loved Octavia-she was brilliant in every way. Fortunately, Cora didn't wanteither; her heart belonged to a struggling writer. But our families' directives were absolute."
"I fell deeply for Octavia, from secret admiration to open declaration. When she reciprocated, we began a clandestine relationship. I was captivated by everything about her. I knew she kept secrets, but I didn't probe-I loved her for who she was, nothing else."
"When our affair was discovered, Octavia was punished, and I was confined with Cora, expected to produce an heir immediately. But Gora and I made a pact: Octavia would assCora's identity and marry me. This allowed Cora, now living as Octavia, to escape with her writer. The twins switched identities, and I married my beloved Octavia -though officially, she lived as Cora. We had two beautiful sons." "Then, twenty-four years ago, returning from Silver Bay City after she'd given birth and was still fragile, something felt different. The woman withseemed changed-not the woman I loved. I gradually grew distant." To this day, they maintained a cordial but detached relationship. Only recently had he realized the devastating truth: perhaps the woman who returned from Silver Bay City was actually Cora, not Octavia. The woman he loved had vanished.
