For several years, Cooper and Linus’ team had been researching the Virs-18, spending billions and failing countless times before they finally came out with the cure. As a businessman, the main reason Cooper tried to develop the antidote was, of course, to make profits.
But, poor countries in Africa were reluctant to contribute money or any mineral resources. They refused to pay for anything, thinking that Cooper would be kind enough to be their savior and provide them with a free cure and vaccines. They even condoned the armed forces to rob hospitals that were under the Michel Medical Group.
In a fit of anger, Cooper shut down all the channels for the sale of the cure.
Africa had always been suffering from a variety of epidemics, and the Virs-18 was just one of the more ferocious ones. It had the highest death rate and the lowest chance of recovery. One would die very quickly after being infected and only Cooper had the cure to it. So, why would anyone think that he would be willing to give out the cure?
If it were not for the fact that his daughter was infected, he would not have been willing to invest such a great amount to research the cure.
However, Russell seemed to have blamed the Michel Group for his daughter’s death and decided to egg them today.
“In my opinion, we should give up on Russell…” said Michael as he frowned, finding the whole situation complicated.
If they were to visit him once again, they would probably be beaten to death.
But, Sophia was stubborn.
“I have to go! If I can’t get Russell, I’m not going back home!”
Upon hearing that, Linus threw her a weary glance.
Now that Russell had decided to blame his daughter’s death on Cooper and Linus, although he did not know Sophia, it was sufficient for him to know that Linus was one of the Michels.
And looking at his attitude, he seemed to hate them more than the Yard Family.
Things are getting complicated now.
Still, Sophia was extremely stubborn. She was under the opinion that since Russell hated the Yard Family too, they would not be able to land a contract with him.
And thus, it would be the perfect chance for her to get him!
If Russell could join her Bayside Fashion Week, he would bring the event to a whole new level.
Recalling what happened with Russell, Sophia’s eyes twinkled suddenly and she asked, “Did you say that there’s something wrong with his wife’s eyes?”
…
The next day, Sophia went to the Simmons Residence again. She stopped 500 meters away from the manor, as she was afraid that she would be attacked by another wave of rotten eggs.
He’s not answering the phone, and I’m so far away from him now. How do I get him to talk to me?
“Say it as I told you to,” said Sophia to Hale, who was standing next to her.
With a loathsome expression, Hale took the loudspeaker out from the car and turned it on. Clearing his throat, Hale took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Simmons, I can heal your wife’s eyes! Mr. Simmons, I can heal your wife’s eyes! Mr. Simmons, I can heal your wife’s eyes!”
Hale’s amplified voice was spread across a 5-kilometer radius from where they stood, and it was as loud as the wet market in Bayside City at 6 AM. The sound scared the neighbors, leading them to come out to see what was going on.
The driver drove the car around the Simmons Residence again and again in order to make sure that Russell could hear them from all directions.
Michael and Linus were at a loss of words by the method.
From between them, Carmen’s little figure popped out.
“Daddy, what is Uncle Hale doing?”
Putting a pair of noise-canceling headphones over her head, Linus said, “Baby, don’t worry about it.”
Upon hearing that, Carmen pouted her lips and played with her dog. To make sure that she was entertained, Sophia even brought the giant poodle over to keep her company.
After a morning of harassing the Simmons Residence, Russell finally called them.
“Come on in.”
