The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 134 - Fabrication

Violet was puzzled. Who would do such things? Fabricating the evidence? There are only a few people who know that she's searching for Hannah Grace. The whole team and Victor. Could the Charles Empire know about this? Violet scanned the letter and preserved it. She put it in her secret vault inside the house that she purchased, away from her team. It's the safest place and although they could trace her, she at least has ways to protect the evidence.

Hannah Grace is alive and the DNA from the grave didn't match her. She already confirmed it to the one who processed the DNA and it said that it was switched by a hair strand and a bottle that contained the saliva of the subject. It only means that Hannah Grace was close to them just as Victor said. But how can she find her?

Her phone started ringing and it's four in the morning.

"Connor?"

"Hey. I haven't told anyone about the grave except Johanna. But Jo doesn't know anything about this."

"Are you sure?" Violet asked as she thought of possible people. "It's Harvey." She chuckled and shook her head. "It takes a long time for me to realize it. He's the one who told us to stop digging about Hannah Grace since she's dead. Also, he's close to Victor back then."

"Harvey," Connor mumbled. "I'll look into it."

"Yes, find anything about Hannah Grace."

"Sure. Is there any specific thing that I should know about her?"

"Yes," Violet put her robe on as she sat on the sofa. "Hannah Grace became a natural killing machine. Ever since she was inside her mother's stomach, they've been experimenting on her. Victor mentioned that she always got sick when she was ten months old until she turned one year old. After that, she rarely got sick and could pick things up easily. She had an IQ of over 190. She's more like a machine than a human. She can pick things up by watching action movies… somehow, Victor concluded that living normally would also normalize her, and it can be triggered anytime."

"Trigger?" Connor's/Conrad's head seemed to be loading. "Okay, I got it."

"I won't work with face recognition. I will work on a new app that Viper couldn't access so I could search for her easily."

"How long will it take?"

"Like five days or so. But I'll work as hard as I can." Violet said.

"You need to take a break," Conrad said. "Sleep, eat and work. Okay?"

"You are right." Violet sighed. "Victor nearly killed me last night. They won't stop until they have full authority over his body."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"I have to go." Violet hung up as she clutched her phone. She has to investigate Harvey.

Conrad carefully put his phone away as he continued with soaking the face towel in the water. Then, he went to the bed and gently placed it on her forehead. He's been wiping her body with a damp towel for an hour because of a sudden fever. It reached 47 degrees Celsius and he was so confused on why she would have a high fever. She didn't even wake up.

"Babe," He called softly but she only moaned.

He took out his phone and called Keira. He knows that it's late but he has to inform her. It's also Monday and yet they set the date as a Holiday for the company. They will be paid full of their salary while Harvey's team will install the cameras that they bought. He was supposed to be there and she was supposed to be there to facilitate it. But with her condition, she might not be able to even get out of bed.

"Hello?" Keira's sleepy voice answered.

"Keira, sorry to call you this early but, Johanna had a fever."

"She~what?" Keira creased her brows. "She doesn't get sick easily. What happened?"

"I don't know." Conrad sighed. "It might be me. I had a fever two days ago and~~"

"Stay with her. I'll take care of everything in the office. Do you want me to send mom?"

"No. I'll handle it."

"Okay. I'll visit her this afternoon."

"Alright. Thank you." He hung up and checked her temperature again. It lowers to 40 degrees Celsius. "Babe," He called again. She didn't respond and so, he went to the bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet as he took the medicine and crushed it. Then, he put it on the shot glass, poured a little bit of water and he approached her and kissed her lips. "Baby…" he called softly.

"Hmm,"

"Medicine." He gently pulled her up and wrapped his arms around her back and just noticed that her shirt was wet. She opened her puffy eyes and he drank the medicine, hold it in his mouth, and scooped her jaw to open her mouth, and transferred it to her. He might be crazy but after she swallowed it, he kissed her passionately. He pulled out and wiped her lips. "Sorry, baby. I want to be romantic."

"Water." She mumbled.

He reached the glass of water that already had a straw and let her sipped. Then, he gently laid her down and turned on the fan. He went to his closet and picked a pajama top. Then, he undresses her, including her underwear, and puts it on her. He adjusted the socks that he put on her since her feet were cold a while ago. She stared at him while he's busy arranging things. Then, he smiled at her and brushed her hair with his fingers.

"Do you need anything? I'll prepare the chicken soup." He kissed her forehead.

"Can you play Sunshine to me?" She said softly. He was curious as to why she would request a song but he nodded at her and used the speaker with AI operated.

"Sasha, play sunshine."

"Playing sunshine covered by Moira Dela Torre." Sasha, the AI responded as it started playing. She closed her eyes and he stared at her.

Keira was biting at her nails while she stayed in her office and the team was installing lots of things around the building. It was faster than she expected as they only connected it to the wires. She's sure that they won't hack anything since she will encrypt it later on. However, she's worried about Johanna rather than the company. Although she had the time to do her work, she couldn't concentrate when Johanna was sick.

"What's up?" Harvey asked as he approached her and kissed her forehead.

"Johanna is sick. I should go there with her."

"But Conrad is with her, right?"

"Yes."

Harvey nodded and patted her head.

"I'll visit them later. You don't have to go."

"But~~"

"I'll visit them." He insisted. "Johanna is strong. I think you should focus on the upcoming events."

"Right," Keira mumbled.

"Also, it's not safe for you to linger around there."

"Okay." She sighed. "But make sure that she'll be in good condition soon."

"Sure." He patted her head again.

Keira watched as Harvey left. She watched as Harvey even used the sports car that Alessandro bought for him. So, he's visiting Johanna. She knew that he cared for her. Back when they were little, Harvey showed less care toward Johanna, but as Johanna always followed her around and clung to her, Harvey seemed to understand something after that time when Johanna promised to protect her.

<><><><>

The time that Harvey arrived at Connor's residence. He pings him and after a few moments, the camera scanned his face and lets him in. He knew well why she's having a fever. It's because of him.

"I'm sorry that it took a little longer," Connor said. "She's upstairs in my room. I'll just check on the chicken soup that I am making."

"I'll take care of her," Harvey said as he went upstairs and found her sleeping covered in a duvet and a damp towel over her forehead.

Harvey approached her and reached the damp towel over her forehead and tossed it on the side table. Johanna slowly opened her eyes and tried to move.

"What are you doing?" Harvey asked as Johanna looked up at him. He sat on the bed and patted her head. "What are you doing, Johanna?" He asked again, this time more dangerous than before.

"H~Harvey," Her voice was dry and weak.

He increased the volume of the speaker and changed the music. It's loud and wild as Harvey bent down and pressed his lips to her ear and whispered. His words made her eyes dilated and Harvey kissed her cheeks as he sat up.

"What are you doing to her?" Connor asked coldly and he turned off the speaker and pulled Harvey off from the bed. "Do not touch her!" Connor scolded him as Harvey chuckled and raised his hands. Johanna was staring blankly at the ceiling. "Babe," Connor/Conrad climbed up on the King's bed and pulled the sheet to her chest. "Go back to sleep, okay?"

"Alright, I'm gonna go," Harvey said with a smirk as he turned his heel.

Connor glared at him as he quickly approached Harvey, pulled his arm, and punched his face. But before his fist even hit Harvey's face, he dodged it and blocked it with his palm.

"What did you do to her?" Connor growled at him.

"What could I possibly do to my little sister?" Harvey chuckled and cocked his head to Johanna who sat up. "Well, you should take care of yourself more, baby sis." He waved. "I'll leave now."

Connor watched as Harvey left and he quickly approached Johanna and scooped her face. She's still hot and flushed.

"Lay down, babe." He said softly. She pushed his hand away and pushed the duvet as she slipped off from bed. "Jo," He called out and she stood still but she stumbled and collapsed. He quickly responded to take her back to bed.

Connor was angry at the moment. Angry at Harvey for making her like this.
