Chapter 540: Chapter 541: Don’t Mess Around

Paul shook his head, intent on leaving.

"Hey!" Jessica pressed him against the wall, "Speak up, what’s actually wrong with him?"

"He... he’s just in a bad mood," Paul replied.

"Bullshit," Jessica frowned deeply, "Spill it!"

"There’s really nothing wrong!" Paul raised his hand to push away her arm, "Let’s go, the Duke is not in the best of moods right now, we should try not to make him any angrier."

Jessica followed, "Really, there’s nothing wrong?"

"Of course." Paul was about to say more when his phone rang. Seeing Dr. William’s call on the screen, he stopped in his tracks, "Jessica, you look after the Duke, I need to take this call."

Jessica followed the bodyguard for a few steps, then stopped and turned to see Paul step aside. She halted, tiptoed closer, and trailed Paul to the corner of the hallway.

"Dr. William, the Duke still hasn’t decided to return," Paul said into the phone.

On the other end, Dr. William’s tone was grave, "How is he at the moment?"

"He seemed to be a bit unwell just now," Paul’s voice was laced with concern, "Doctor, I’m really worried, with the way he is now... can he undergo surgery?"

"We need to wait until he gets back. We have to do a thorough check and assessment before we can decide. The most urgent matter right now is to get him back to our country as soon as possible. The frequency of his episodes is high, which is not a good sign."

"I understand, I’ll make sure to bring him back."

After coordinating the specific time for the pick-up and precautions with Dr. William, Paul sighed and was about to put away his phone when a hand reached from behind and snatched it away.

"Dr. William?" Jessica stared at the screen showing the number Paul had just disconnected from, "The Duke is ill? What illness?!"

"Jessica!" Paul looked helpless, "How... how did you end up here?"

"Cut the crap!" Jessica thrust the phone towards his face, "What’s this surgery you were talking about, does the Duke have a serious illness?"

"Jess..."

"You fool!" Jessica scolded, throwing the phone back into his chest, "Have you forgotten who provided you with the life you have now? Knowing he’s sick, you still let him waste time here?"

Paul’s face was etched with worry; what could he do? If only he could, he would’ve knocked Moses out cold and tied him up to take him straight back to M Country.

"Say something!" Jessica barked again, "Are you mute?"

"What can I do?" Paul’s voice rose too, filled with frustration, "I’ve advised him several times, but the Duke simply won’t listen to me, he’s determined to stay..."

"Stupid pig!" Jessica clenched her fists, wishing she could beat some sense into him, "What’s more important, his health or the orders? If something happens to him... I’ll be the first to kill you, you idiot!"

"You know well enough what he’s like; nobody can change his mind unless Gaia changes hers. Otherwise, there’s no way he’s leaving."

Gaia?!

Jessica frowned.

"Hmph, then we make her change her mind!"

"How is that possible!" Paul’s voice dropped in defeat, "She’s deeply in love with Mr. Duke, and they have a child together, there’s no way she’ll go back with the Duke now."

Jessica scoffed, "If she doesn’t want to go back, we’ll force her."

"Jessica," Paul grabbed her, "don’t do anything rash. If the Duke finds out what you’ve done to Gaia, he will definitely kill you."
