Chapter 1692
Last night, Horace had only left his cell number, so when Steward reached out, he was taken aback.
Had the boss been right? Were they really coming to them?
After that, he hurriedly called his boss, "Boss, they’ve set up a meeting at Polanski Hospital for ten
o'clock this morning."
Polanski Hospital was a well-known private medical center in Belloria, where every tick of the clock
cost a pretty penny.
"Tell them, I'll take that island for 5 million."
"5 million?" Horace was stunned by the boss's hard bargaining. They had originally agreed to 40
million, and now they were down by 35 million. Would he get his head chopped off when he relayed
this?
"Don't worry, just say it."
It was hard for Horace not to worry; after all, they were dealing with Sean, the infamous Sean of
Belloria. In the end, he conveyed the message, and they only agreed to discuss it at the hospital.
On the drive to the hospital with Arabella, Horace was still anxious, "Boss, do you think they might set a
trap for us, snatch me up as a hostage, and then threaten you to buy the island for 70 or 80 million to
save me?"
After all, it wasn't just about Sean; no ordinary person would discount an island by 5 million. At the very
least, it would be 10 or 20 million.
"Scared?" Arabella teased with a playful smirk, looking at his wimpy demeanor.
"Scared? Not me." Horace said with a lack of confidence as he drove, "My life isn't worth much anyway,
Boss. Your herbs can save many more lives. When the time comes, don't worry about me; even if they
put a knife to my throat, you must not give in. You have to secure that island."
"Okay."
Seeing how readily Arabella agreed left Horace bewildered. Had he heard wrong? Was the boss really
planning to give him up??
At that moment, he saw Arabella’s lips curl into a smile, and he knew the boss was just joking around.
The boss had changed, becoming more and more playful.
"Don't worry; his life is in my hands. Until the surgery is done, they won’t dare touch you."
Horace knew he could count on the boss, "And after the surgery?"
"I’ll get you out."
Horace was moved once again. With such a great boss, he would lay down his life in any emergency to
ensure the boss got away first.
They arrived at the hospital. Sean was already waiting in the VIP ward.
As Horace followed his boss into the room, he saw Steward and a dozen of his men on high alert, wary
of their every move.
"You really are full of surprises, daring to pull a fast one right in front of me," Sean said from his hospital
bed, exuding an air of menacing nonchalance despite his pale lips.
Arabella remained cool and collected, "You’re naturally suspicious. I had no choice but to slip the drug
into my own drink."
"You were sure I'd swap with you?"
"Yes."
Steward, who was standing aside, was utterly shocked. He hadn't expected it was really this girl who
had tampered with the drink. website tqnovel.com stole our content (Swnovels.com -Narugi.com).

How had she dared to do that? Despite the many eyes watching last night, she had uncorked and
poured the drink in one fluid motion, and even upon reflection, Steward couldn't pinpoint when she had
slipped the drug into the drink.
This young lady was truly inscrutable. Sean smirked roguishly, intrigued by her, "Weren’t you afraid of
drinking that glass yourself?"
"I have the antidote."
Sean chuckled again, impressed by the young woman's audacity.
"So, now you want to buy the island from me for 5 million?" Sean's gaze settled on her.
