Becoming the Richest Man Alive



Chapter 147 The Awakening

Jessica had been sitting in front of her bed for an entire hour which was simply unthinkable for her previously.

Holding her phone in her hand, she called the same number dozens of times.

However, the calls were not answered.

She bit her lower lip and was beginning to feel desperate.

She might or might not know for sure but subconsciously, she always felt that what the person gave was not too harmful.

However, reality had given her a slap in the face.

She had wanted revenge on Casper and so did he. So, he used her to get his revenge. As long as Casper suffered, the cost did not matter.

However, she realized now that this was not right.

What she did involved another innocent victim.

As for Casper, both sides suffered loss.

The most pitiable innocent victim was Remy whom she looked for and acted on.

For the first time, Jessica realized how far-reaching the effects of her callous determination were.

Suddenly, she remembered Amelia.

The enmity between her and Casper was caused by Amelia. In the end, what did she do to her?

Jessica curled up her legs tight against her body and clasped her head with her hands, not wanting to think about these anymore.

He had not answered her calls, after what happened to Remy.

Jessica could not bear to think about these anymore.

What if Remy really died just because she wanted to get even with Casper?

It was all because of Casper who stole the show from her as he wanted to defend Amelia.

She had looked down upon Amelia and often ridiculed her.

Jessica was really frightened.

She had always ridiculed others for their background and poor beginnings as she was born with a silver spoon and felt proud of herself.

What if she lost the most basic characteristic of humankind, her humanity?

She would be despised and feared.

Jessica did not want to be such. She began to feel some remorse.

Her remorse did not help or change anything.

She did not know of any way to make amends.

Yet, she wanted to make amends, Jessica thought. She did not want anything bad to happen to this man who always put her first. Finally, she gathered up her courage and dialed another number.

This was a number she had secretly copied from Remy's mobile phone and saved.

At this moment, this was the only way she could think of to save Remy and to make amends.

Over at Casper's end, his mobile suddenly rang.

He looked and saw an unfamiliar number.

He had transferred all his contacts from his previous phone to the new one.

So, this caller was someone he did not know. Who could that be?

Casper accepted the call and Jessica's voice came through the phone into his ears.

"How do you do, Casper. I'm Jessica Taylor. I would like to tell you something." Jessica's voice sounded obviously urgent.

Certain thoughts came to Casper's mind and he grunted to her to continue.

"That man gave me a substance for you to consume but I did not get the opportunity to do it. I asked him what it was but he did not give me a straight answer. He only told me that it was harmless to the human body except for causing unusual feelings of worry, fear, and anxiety. He asked me to give it to the person you care about most, like Remy. Initially, I was unwilling. Later, I don't know why my brain snapped and I agreed. I wanted you to go through these same feelings. I had no idea that this substance could take a life."

Casper listened quietly at first. At this point, he didn't know what to think of it. "If it's not something harmful, why do you think it can make me worry and panic?"

"I'm sorry." For the first time, Jessica apologized sincerely.

"Sorry for all that I've done before."

"How about that man? Can you contact him now?" Casper asked.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"I have his number but no one is answering anymore," Jessica said.

For a moment, Casper was speechless.

After that, he asked Jessica several questions and like a different person, she replied whatever she could.

This was something that Casper did not expect.

Even though he was expecting her to contact him, it never crossed his mind that Jessica Taylor would sincerely apologize and explain everything according to her knowledge. Despite this situation, there was no effective information.

Nevertheless, it seemed Jessica had repented. Or perhaps, it was another scheme?

Casper had no way of knowing and all he could do was to wait and see.

"Can you give me the contact information of this person you mentioned?" Casper asked again.

"Yes," Jessica said hurriedly and then, added, "Can I go and see Remy?" There was a rare expression of weakness in her tone.

Listening to Jessica, a seemingly unbelievable thought crossed Casper's mind.

Maybe, Remy's dream can come true and he can get the girl he wants.

"It's up to you. Go and see him if you wish. There is nothing we can do to stop you." Casper replied.

When he finished speaking, he felt that his words were too harsh.

As a matter of fact, he and Felix had stopped her from entering before.

Remembering that, Casper felt some embarrassment which he disguised with a cough. "I won't stop you from now on. If you wish to see Remy, just come by yourself. It should be okay if you don't attempt anything harmful." When Casper finished talking, at the other end of the line, Jessica's emotions had obviously improved a lot.

Casper felt even more intrigued.

After a while, they hung up.

Casper was lost in thought.

Casper, Felix, and Colton were looking after Remy in the hospital. As Casper spoke on the phone, the other two were observing him.

Looking at Casper's expression, Colton thought it was something bad and hurriedly asked.

"Did something go wrong?"

Casper shook his head and nodded. After some consideration, he shook his head again.

"Was there a problem or not? Give a specific reply. Speak!"

Casper shook his head. "Nothing serious. I just thought I had done some guess work which might be unrealistic."

"What were you thinking?"

"I feel that Jessica and Remy might have something going on between them."
