Chapter 686 Say It For Me
Jonathan's face darkened. He was considering the possibility of Maurice playing tricks on him.
Maurice cast a sidelong glance at Corbin.
He had made full preparations this day. In addition to bringing people in, he had arranged for a large number of people to lay in ambush outside.
He would never let Jonathan go without getting the antidote.
It would be ideal if they could reach an agreement peacefully. But if they couldn't, he would use force so Jonathan would hand over the antidote.
The room fell silent. Both parties were prepared to fight, and the tense atmosphere indicated that the fight was about to break out.
All of a sudden, Jonathan spoke up.
"I can give you the antidote, Maurice."
Maurice became even more anxious upon hearing it.
Jonathan's only bargaining chip at the moment was the antidote. It was impossible for him to give it easily without securing the theme park project.
"What do you mean?"
Jonathan seemed to have made a very important decision and said seriously, "I can give you the medicine now, but I still want the project. We all know that the Universe Group cannot win such a large project on its own. When you can decide, sign the contract. Now, before I change my mind, get out of here and handle the Moran family's affairs."
"How come you agreed so quickly?"
Maurice still couldn't believe it.
Jonathan sneered and commented, "Didn't you say that my love is hypocritical? Then I'm proving to you that I can also do whatever you're willing to do for Eliana's sake."
"Okay."
Maurice made no hesitation. Any delay would just make Eliana suffer one more day.
It didn't matter whether Jonathan was sincere or not. He would take the medicine.
Both parties reached a consensus without having to fight.
Corbin took the medicine from Jonathan's assistant.
Maurice immediately stood up and prepared to go back home.
He was about to walk out the door when he heard Jonathan's low voice from behind him.
"Tell Eliana that I am very sorry." Jonathan smiled bitterly. "I think she no longer wants to see me, so please say it for me."
Maurice did not turn around and just continued to walk away.
Watching Maurice's retreating figure, Jonathan realized something.
He did lose, but not to Maurice. He lost to Eliana and her love for Maurice.
In fact, Jonathan had seen Eliana two days ago.
Eliana took the initiative to go to Jonathan by herself.
There was no such intense encounter as they had imagined. They sat quietly in the small garden, sipping coffee and chatting casually.
Jonathan was in a good mood at the time. He assumed Eliana had finally figured things out and wanted to come back to him.
But the next second, Eliana's words shattered his fantasy.
*Jonathan, are you closing a deal with Maurice?"
It wasn't actually a question, but rather a statement.
Jonathan's gentle expression froze.
Eliana was really his type of woman. She was very sharp and intelligent.
After a long silence, Jonathan sighed. "Yes."
Eliana did not say anything.
Without giving it much thought, Eliana knew that Jonathan had traded her health for something important with Maurice.
Even Maurice might not be able to bear the cost of saving her.
Jonathan decided not to hide it any longer now that she had asked.
He stood up, walked to Eliana's side, squatted down, and whispered seductively, "Eliana, if you are willing to leave Maurice, I promise that he will not lose anything. Otherwise... He will lose everything he has."
Eliana lowered her head and stared at him, her face turning deathly pale.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
The familiar pain, the feeling of suffocation, and the smell of the blood from her throat...
She relapsed shortly after being provoked by Jonathan.
Eliana bit her lower lip hard. She didn't want to show weakness in front of Jonathan, but she couldn't stop the blood oozing out from the corner of her mouth either.
Jonathan sensed something was wrong. When his gaze fell to the bright red liquid at the corner of Eliana's mouth, his eyes widened.
