Chapter 1911

William waited for his phone to ring, but the expected call never came.

By rights, his product should have hooked Fermin.

He thought for a moment and called Fermin.

"Hi, Doctor William."

"Hi, this isn't Mr. Eaton, right?"

William's enthusiasm fizzled when he realized it wasn't Fermin.

"I'm his assistant."

"Where's your boss?"

"In a meeting. I'm afraid he's too busy to talk about your medicine."

William sensed a brush-off. "Has he tried the potion? It's legit for mental health issues."

It was perfect for Fermin's split personality. William didn't spell it out, but he figured Fermin knew his own deal.

The assistant chuckled. "Mr. Eaton asked me to tell you his condition was sorted out 20 years ago. No need to worry, Dr. William."

"What? 20 years ago? How didn't I know?" William was stunned.

"Also, Mr. Eaton said to check for a delivery when you get home."

"Delivery? What delivery?" William's gut twisted.

Fermin wouldn't send him health supplements. That wasn't his style.

"You'll see, Dr. William." The assistant didn't elaborate.

William scratched his head, baffled, but rushed back to his overseas home to check.

Sure enough, a courier envelope sat at his doorstep.

His alarm bells rang. He opened it and found a glaring lawyer's letter.

He cursed, "Damn! Is he so bored he must sic his lawyers on me?"

Debra and Marion were honeymooning on the island.

William called, sobbing over the phone, "I was trying to help. Why did he do this to me?"

He sniffled and continued, "I don't care; you gotta fix this for me. I can't hustle for nothing and even lose money."

He rambled until Marion got fed up.

Just then, Debra stepped out of the bathroom. "Who's crying?"

"Nobody," Marion said, hanging up.

William stared at his disconnected phone, gutted. He couldn't believe Marion ditched him just like that. Follow current novᴇls on finḑnovel.net

Three days later, William faced the Eatons in court. He lost.

The Eatons didn't demand money, just asked for a public apology and clarification

that Fermin had no mental illness.

William fumed but complied.
