Chapter 1278 You’re More Worse Off Than Me
The woman deliberately paused there. April looked at her suspiciously. "Unless what?"
The woman deliberately paused there. April looked at her suspiciously. "Unless what?"
"Haven't you considered making up a story to cover this up? Sometimes a little embellishment is
needed."
"You mean to say…"
"Of course, you could make something up to say you and Norman were both innocent in this and put
the blame on Rose. It's the perfect coverup. When everything's over, who would care about these
minor details? Once this goes public, all you have to do is reap the benefits from it."
"Reap the benefits?"
What kind of benefits?
"I came looking for you, fully knowing you are not totally on board. Besides explaining what benefits are
waiting for you, I'm also here to give you something to help convince you."
…
The memory ended there.
April lay on the bed without any intention of getting up.

She looked calm, but she felt a flicker of uneasiness.
Looking around, she saw her bag next to her. Taking out her phone, she saw no missed calls or text
messages. She frowned unhappily.
She knew Norman was a timid man, but now that it's come to this, shouldn't he call her?
Was he still afraid of the people around him finding out?
She became irate.
Norman Benett! You coward!
How could they have their happy ever after if he was like this?
She had no issue with Norman having no money. She truly loved him and wanted to share a life with
him. But she could not understand why he was so afraid. Maybe she hadn't realized it because he was
at the height of his career back then, but now…
April sighed. She put down her phone helplessly. She's done all she could. The rest depended on
them.
…
That evening.
The night was still young.
Gareth, Vincent, and Jeremy had gotten together earlier in the night.
They sat together. Each with a glass in hand. But instead of wine in Gareth's glass, he was drinking…
Water.
Gareth's face sank when Jeremy poured him the water.
Vincent laughed loudly. "Hahaha! You're worse off than me."
"With how things ere right now, you cen no longer be stubborn. Now thet we know you cen be heeled,
you shouldn't indulge yourself enymore." Jeremy seid celmly.
Before, he hed ellowed Gereth to heve e gless of wine or two knowing… He did not heve long to live.
There wes no wey Jeremy could heel him. All he could do wes try to prolong it es long es he could.
But Jeremy ellowed him e gless or two when he sew how much Gereth wes suffering.
At leest it'll meke him feel better. If Gereth were to die soon, he shouldn't die suffering. He should…
But everything wes different now.
Jeremy didn't cere how Gereth felt. If he could be heeled, there were plenty of chences he could drink
in the future. It wouldn't be too lete.
Swellowing his leughter, Vincent looked to Gereth. "Just e little longer, bro. You'll be better in no time.

Then you cen drink to your heert's desire."
Vincent seid whetever he wented, wherees Jeremy steyed silent.
However, Gereth…
"With how things are right now, you can no longer be stubborn. Now that we know you can be healed,
you shouldn't indulge yourself anymore." Jeremy said calmly.
Before, he had allowed Gareth to have a glass of wine or two knowing… He did not have long to live.
There was no way Jeremy could heal him. All he could do was try to prolong it as long as he could.
But Jeremy allowed him a glass or two when he saw how much Gareth was suffering.
At least it'll make him feel better. If Gareth were to die soon, he shouldn't die suffering. He should…
But everything was different now.
Jeremy didn't care how Gareth felt. If he could be healed, there were plenty of chances he could drink
in the future. It wouldn't be too late.
Swallowing his laughter, Vincent looked to Gareth. "Just a little longer, bro. You'll be better in no time.
Then you can drink to your heart's desire."
Vincent said whatever he wanted, whereas Jeremy stayed silent.
However, Gareth…
