Remington’s presence was a threat to their interests. If Remington disappeared, they would be able to gain more benefits.

“What did you think of it?” asked Remington.
“I’m wondering if the person who caused the car accident you were in and the mastermind who told Peter to release the snake could be the same person,” said Cecelia.
“It’s possible. The killer always slips up!”
Remington had long sensed a connection between these incidents.

Seeing the worried look on her son’s face, Cecelia knelt down and said soothingly, “Andres, I’m not leaving you. I have something to attend. Be good. You go to school. I’ll pick you up after school this afternoon. Then, we’ll go home together. Okay?”

Verda, her assistant, drove up to pick up Cecelia. After sitting in the back seat, Cecelia turned on her computer and asked, “Did you find out anything about the drug I asked you to look up?”
“Already sent you an email, Miss Linsey.”
Upon opening her email, Cecelia saw the detailed instructions for the bottle of medicine.
According to the instructions on the bottle, Cecelia could tell that the medicine contained tubarine. It was a neuromuscular–blocking drug, which could prevent muscle atrophy and could be used by paralyzed people.
However, Remington was not paralyzed. He had only suffered at severe fracture of his lower limb and was still conscious, so he could not use the drug.
Jackson had given Remington a medical examination. Why did he prescribe such a drug to Remington when he knew what was happening to him?
According to Cecelia, the Chamber family had been practicing medicine for generations, and both Jackson and his father were personal doctors of the Nelson family and had been serving the Nelson family.

“I’ve arrived. I’ll meet you guys later.”
After Cecelia ended the phone call, Verda parked the car in front of the hotel. Cecelia stepped out of the car. With a cold face, she walked towards the front door of the hotel in strides.
