Chapter 529

"Margot, you're a good woman. You helped keep the Foster family's business going and raised Wilson's son. I was wrong to blame you before. You should stay with Mr. Johnson and Bella. The Foster family has no right to judge you," Marshall said. Marshall knew Margot was older than Cyrus. As time went on and Margot aged, her beauty would fade, but Bella could act as a bridge between them. Bella would ensure that Cyrus wouldn't neglect Margot. With that, Marshall turned to leave, not even bothering to undergo the treatment. He mumbled to himself, "I'm not planning anything. I'm just tired of living. Don't follow me." Margot was very worried. She glanced at Cyrus and asked, "Do you think he might kill himself?" "Let it be. He's nearly 90 years old. You can't change his mind," Cyrus replied. Margot remembered how Marshall had supported her marrying into the Foster family. This memory brought a deep sadness over her. Bella quickly sat down and comforted Margot, hugging her tightly. "He's completely traumatized by what happened to his son. The Sykes family are worse than animals." Margot sobbed. "Indeed, the Sykes family deserves to be brought to justice, but taking down a family of their stature requires time and planning. After all, they're one of Summerland's five major families, with significant influence." "Yes, I believe the young lord of the Hippocrates Sect won't let them get away," Margot said. Cyrus texted Jace, asking: "Any news?" "None. The Sykes family hired Centuria's Secret Realm to investigate us." "What do you mean?" "Today, headquarters asked if our spies in Jorsproburgh were tracking the Sykes family. Of course, I denied it." Cyrus was impressed by the Sykes family's caution. It was no wonder the Sykes family had managed to maintain their power for a millennium. They were actually using Centuria's Secret Realm to counter Jorsproburgh's Secret Realm. They were really not easy to deal with. Cyrus: "Where's Evelyn now?" Jace: "She's at the Hayes residence. They're preparing to return to Centuria." Cyrus: "Do they have any secret bases in Jorsproburgh?" Jace: "No, but the venom puppet is a filthy thing. If he's hiding in the sewers, it'll be hard to find him." Cyrus: "Venom puppets of Blood Bats like to come out at night. Keep an eye out." Jace: "Got it. Don't mention you know me, or I'll be in big trouble." Cyrus: "I hardly know you." Jace sneered. ... At Innerzen Medical Center, Zoey brought Jessie upstairs and sat her down. She was curious to know what Jessie really wanted. Zoey also wanted to return the hundred million medical fee. After all, taking money from the Sykes family wasn't that simple. "Ms. Sykes, your family is one of the five major medical families in Summerland. Why would you need Cyrus to treat your illness?" Zoey asked with a smile. Jessie wasn't in a good mood. She didn't want Cyrus touching her, but Evelyn's instructions were clear. She had to find out if Cyrus had a connection with the young lord of the Hippocrates Sect, even if it meant enduring whatever Cyrus would do to her. "Ms. Clarke, the Sykes family isn't omnipotent, just like Cyrus isn't. Otherwise, you wouldn't still be a virgin after all these years of marriage. You're just like me," Jessie said. Zoey knew she couldn't hide her condition from a medical expert like Jessie. She felt deeply embarrassed and didn't know how to respond. The intimate details of her marriage to Cyrus were not something she wanted to share with an outsider. "What exactly is your illness?" Zoey asked. "Actually, we share the same problem. I can't have sex either, unless Cyrus cures me," Jessie said, playing the pity card. After all, she needed Zoey's permission to stay overnight at Innerzen Medical Center. Clearly, Zoey was a kind and gentle woman. Zoey had never heard of such a strange condition as hyposexual disorder. "Alright, we'll wait for Cyrus. I'll arrange for you to be admitted," Zoey said. "Thank you, Ms. Clarke. With the young lord of the Hippocrates Sect guiding Mr. Johnson, I'm sure he can cure my hyposexual disorder," Jessie said, trying to gather more information. She needed to find out the truth before Cyrus touched her. She hoped to keep her virginity. "What young lord?" Zoey asked, confused.
