Chapter 385: A Perfect Partnership
Breaking news flashed across the country, sending shockwaves through the nation. But for one man, it was only a moment of smug satisfaction.
"The President’s daughter, Summer Cartier, suddenly fainted while campaigning in District 3. Known as a strong candidate for Mayor of Meta City, there are still no details on what caused her collapse. Sources confirm she was rushed to Meta Doctor Hospital," the newscaster reported urgently.
The news spread like wildfire, and the whole nation was on edge. Media outlets continued to report updates, with medical professionals remaining tight-lipped about Summer Cartier’s condition. The country held its breath, wondering if the candidate’s sudden collapse was a result of stress or something more sinister.
The man sitting in the dim light of his office smirked, savoring the moment. He took a slow sip of whiskey, his mind relishing the unfolding events. "Now he’ll understand what it feels like to lose the woman you love," he muttered with grim satisfaction. "Let’s see how you’ll handle this, Arlan."
He would make sure Arlan suffered for a long time...
Then a wide smile spread across his lips as his burner mobile phone rang. He arched a brow seeing it was Carla Cartier.
He answered it, and from the other line, Carla sobbed so hard. "What is going on? Why is my mom still unconscious? What drug is that?!" she hissed.
"Don’t worry, Summer will not die yet. She’s alive but definitely not in a state to make Arlan happy. You... Remember where you come from, so stop spurting nonsense!" he grunted.
"I don’t want to. I want out! I didn’t agree to this! I thought you’d just make her unconscious, but not kill her! You lied to me!" Carla exclaimed.
