Chapter: 1053
“What?" Alick exclaimed in surprise, swiftly followed by a sense of relief.

Considering the Joviek family's oil business origins and their newfound involvement with the Wales Group in Dail, it was undoubtedly a highly advantageous partnership. They stood to gain substantial benefits.

Perhaps it was also for this reason that they were amenable to dividing up the Madeline Research Center's stock.

Indeed, the act of exchanging benefits was commonplace in the business realm.

Suddenly, a knock came from the door.

Alick rushed to open the door, only to find Jane standing there!

He still remembered how she looked under that mask.

He stepped aside, gesturing, "Please, come in."

Camila, donning flat shoes, white silk stockings, and an embellished vintage dress with a delicate shawl draped over her shoulders, had deliberately adorned herself in an exaggerated manner

She had no choice.

Her objective was to cure Isaac, all while keeping her true identity concealed.

Thus, she resorted to a disguise and altered her appearance.

Altered to such an extent that not even her mother would recognize her! Alick couldn't help but notice the deliberate effort Camila had put into her attire. Did she have a soft spot for Isaac?

Why else would she get dolled up?

The thought of Isaac being pursued by such an unattractive woman tickled Alick's funny bone.

However, he was in Isaac's presence and so couldn't Laugh out Loud.

He had no choice but to control himself.

He felt so uncomfortable.

“Shall we begin?" Camila spoke as she headed into the bathroom, expertly pouring hot water into the awaiting bathtub.

She had already prepared the necessary medicinal ingredients.

After a few minutes, the tub brimmed with water, its temperature carefully gauged by Camila's touch

As the medicine infused the water, it gradually transformed into a rich hue of brown, permeating the air with a subtle, grassy scent that proved rather pleasant.

Outside the bathroom.

Alick approached Isaac, unable to contain his curiosity any longer. He voiced his concerns. "Mr. Johnston, I can't help but notice that Jane seems to have gone out of her way to dress up today. Take a closer look at her face. It appears unusually pale. Could she have ill intentions toward you?"

Isaac regarded Alick with a cold, piercing gaze, questioning, "Alick, have you Lost your mind?"
