Chapter 423 - 422: Donald Meskill’s Single Sword
Everest Zuck didn’t sleep tonight because the recent incident involving Yusuf Zuck had left him restless. After all, they had become fast friends, so he was genuinely concerned about Yusuf’s personal safety.
In the capital, he had some influence, and he knew some people in the relevant departments as well as a few wealthy individuals, but compared to the power of the Meskill family, his influence was negligible. The Meskills probably didn’t even know who he was.
So, he was at a loss as to how to help Yusuf.
Even though it was 2 a.m., he still sat in his study, restlessly paging through a book, feeling as if his spirit was wandering beyond the heavens.
As for Jerome Hart, not long after he returned earlier, he fell asleep rather quickly.
In fact, he found the relationship between Jerome and Faye Webb quite interesting. Jerome had taken two arrows for Faye in Ulanqab, and it was those two arrows that caused Faye’s feminine tenderness to erupt.
How should I put it? The two kids were young, and after spending a lot of time together, it was natural for feelings to develop.
However, Faye was also in a turmoil because Jerome getting shot had seemingly confirmed her self-deprecating belief that she was a "jinx," bad luck to those close to her. No sooner had Jerome treated her nicely than she felt she had brought harm upon him.
But she couldn’t bear to be without Jerome, so these days Faye was unhappy, unsure of what to do next.
Jerome Hart, on the other hand, was quite laissez-faire, completely unconcerned about Faye’s supposed fate. He and Everest had talked a lot, and he truly had fallen for Faye.
