Chapter 3 Are You In Love With Him?

Megan confidently met Joseph's gaze and nodded, "Yes." She didn't want to get too involved with Joseph, so she wouldn't use her own phone to contact his people. "Put away your doubts. If I really wanted to do something to you or your phone, you wouldn't have noticed. Honestly, I didn't want to get involved. If they didn't try to kill me, I wouldn't have taken action." She didn't know who wanted to kill Joseph, but she saved him and disrupted their plans. They probably wouldn't let her go. Joseph recalled the situation and believed in Megan's words. He let his guard down and sincerely thanked her. "I saved you just to make a deal with you. You don't have to thank me." Joseph lowered his eyes, concealing his emotions. "What can I help you?" When they finally got to the point, Megan became more spirited. "I'm looking for an antique that appeared in Sledeshly before. Your family has been in Sledeshly for a hundred years and is the top wealthy family. It shouldn't be difficult for you to find it." "Just this?" Megan nodded, "You find it, and I'll take it." Joseph became curious, "What kind of antique is it?" "A thumb ring called Dragon Seal. It appeared at an auction in Sledeshly about fifty years ago." As soon as these words came out, Oliver looked surprised. But he quickly suppressed his emotions. Megan's attention was only on Joseph, so she didn't notice Oliver's abnormality. She saw that Joseph didn't speak and asked, "Do you think it's too difficult to find it after so long? Or do you know the whereabouts but can't say?" Joseph lifted his eyes and asked in return, "Why do you want to find the Dragon Seal?" Megan naturally wouldn't say that there was an antidote in the Dragon Seal. Who wouldn't want that? "Joseph, just tell me if you can help me." Oliver looked at the two people and suddenly felt the Dragon Seal in his pants pocket was a bit itchy. Joseph said, "Megan, maybe you can change your request." The Dragon Seal is his family's heirloom and a symbol of the patriarch. Today was the day he would undergo the patriarch's test. As long as he could take Dragon Seal home before six, he would receive all the shares from Liam and become the head of the family. Even if Megan had saved his life, he couldn't give her that. Megan could sense Joseph's hidden message. He knows where it is, but he couldn't say it and wouldn't let her take it. If he didn't want to say, she couldn't force it. "I can't think of any other requests for now." "Alright." Joseph signaled for Oliver to take him away. Oliver took off his suit and draped it over Joseph's shoulders. As he helped Joseph up, Megan's hand fell on his shoulder, rendering him unable to move. "He hasn't detoxified yet. If you don't want him to die, don't touch him." Oliver immediately let go and anxiously asked, "What poison did Joseph ingest? How can it be cured?" He hurriedly took out his phone and contacted Joseph's personal doctor. Megan sat down on the sofa and leisurely said, "The potion is on its way. You can take care of his external injuries first." Oliver put the phone back in his pocket. Although he didn't understand medicine, he knew how to bandage. Joseph thought there might be an awkward scene when it came to treating the wound at the base of his leg, but there wasn't. Clearly, Oliver's movements were rougher and with stronger force. Thinking of this, Joseph couldn't help but glance at Megan, who was playing with her phone. Megan looked up, "What?" "I'm just a little curious about you." Megan coldly glanced at Joseph and got up to change in her bedroom. After changing, she went to the kitchen. Although some of the vegetables she bought today were damaged, it was still enough to make a meal. When the tempting aroma of the food wafted out of the kitchen, the doorbell rang. Megan poked her head out of the kitchen and said to Oliver, "The potion has arrived." - Oliver immediately got up to open the door. He looked at James, who was proudly holding the potion, and was momentarily stunned. "James?" When James saw that it wasn't Megan, the smile on his face immediately disappeared. He glanced at Oliver,"Is Joseph the one who's been poisoned?" As the only son of the Sledeshly second wealthiest family, he knew Joseph and Oliver. "Yes. And we didn't expect you would come." James knew who he meant. James pushed past Oliver and walked inside. These paranoids. Although the Moore family and the Martinez family were enemies, they always acted in a proper manner and never did anything cunning behind the scenes. James ignored Joseph sitting on the couch and went to the kitchen. He quietly asked, "Boss, I thought you hated trouble the most? Why did you bring Joseph here?" "I wanted him to help investigate the Dragon Seal, but he refused." "Ungrateful. Just let him die." James was about to pour the potion. Megan grabbed him, "Stop. " Joseph knows where the Dragon Seal is, and this clue has already given her hope. Maybe she can ask Joseph to fight against the Johnson, too. James took two steps back, "Boss, are you in love with Joseph?" As he asked, he grew slightly anxious. As her friend, maybe he should be more radical. Megan glanced at James, her eyes full of disdain, "Do I look blind?" It wasn't that Joseph wasn't good-looking, but his background meant that he would constantly be involved in trouble, and she disliked trouble. Besides, she wouldn't be interested in someone weaker than herself. James's heart finally settled down. He asked with a cheeky smile, "We should charge him." "Of course. Charge double, and don't forget your delivery fee." "Good." James said to Joseph, "The potion costs 5 thousand, and the delivery fee is 50 thousand. Pay me first." Joseph exchanged a glance with Oliver. Oliver immediately paid. The potion was still warm to the touch. Oliver was a bit worried that the potion might be unreliable. "Joseph…" Before he could finish speaking, Joseph drank it. - The frozen blood in his body began to flow again, and his body slowly warmed up. When Megan came out of the kitchen, Joseph's complexion was no longer as bad as before. She directly said, "You should leave now." Joseph grabbed Oliver's arm and used it to help himself up. "Thank you, Megan. If you have requests, feel free to contact me." After saying that, he took out a personal business card. Megan received it and watched him leave. As the door closed, Megan suddenly remembered something and chased after them. "Joseph, wait a moment." Oliver was just about to hand Dragon Seal to Joseph when he was startled by Megan's voice, causing the thumb ring to slip from his grasp and fall to the ground. Joseph had entrusted Dragon Seal to Oliver because he was afraid it would fall into the enemy's hands when he was being pursued. Oliver knew the importance of Dragon Seal and wanted to return it to Joseph at the earliest convenience. Unexpectedly, Megan caught that scene.
