The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day-Chapter 617: Her Backer

Damian Knight shook his head with a smile: "You underestimate Master Jonah. Although I did call him, he clearly told me over the phone that he wouldn’t accept dirty money like that. I was afraid that if I went in, Henry Stanton might suspect that I bribed Master Jonah, so I simply waited outside."

Summer Monroe glanced at the intense sunlight and frowned, saying, "You should have come inside. The sun is harsh now, and you shouldn’t get sunstroke."

Damian Knight slightly raised an eyebrow and asked: "Can I take your words to mean that you’re concerned about me?"

Summer Monroe’s back stiffened, then she tried to appear as natural as possible, saying calmly, "Of course, we’re friends. You’re still my support. If I don’t care about you, who will?"

Damian Knight’s gaze darkened for a moment, but it quickly passed.

He laughed and said, "Yeah, as your support, I can’t fall. I have to protect you well."

As Damian Knight said this, Summer Monroe remembered the real issue.

"My support, I genuinely have something I need your help with."

Damian Knight generously said, "Speak. Even if it’s the stars in the sky, I’ll pick them for you."

Summer Monroe’s face reddened involuntarily, and she glared at Damian Knight, saying, "How come I never noticed you were so unserious before? I’m talking about something serious here."

Only then did Damian Knight straighten and ask, "What do you need my help with?"

"This." Summer Monroe fished out a transparent plastic bag from her pocket, which contained a bit of something pitch black.

Damian Knight reached out to take it, asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Summer Monroe frowned and said, "This is the medicine that Felix Jennings brought Stella Monroe every day when she was hospitalized. Although through Isaac Ross’s connections, I managed to get the remnants of the medicine from a nurse, Felix Jennings was very cautious, taking even the dregs of the medicine and the cups each time. But the day Stella Monroe was discharged, they both forgot about this, and before going home, I went to the hospital specifically to get this."

"Stella Monroe was just in low spirits at the time, it wasn’t necessary for her to drink herbal medicine. There’s something strange about this medicine. You have good medical skills; can’t you identify what kind of medicine this is?"

Summer Monroe shook her head and said: "I’ve never seen this kind of medicine before, I can’t identify it. But there are very few things I haven’t seen before, so this medicine... is likely something from Myanmar. Additionally, my people also found out that Felix Jennings went to Myanmar a few weeks ago, so can you help me investigate what kind of medicine this is? There are too many poisons over in Myanmar, and my people rarely have contact with that. I don’t want to involve my foster parents in this either. So... I have to ask you for help."

"No problem." Damian Knight readily agreed: "Donnie and Nate’s funeral is tomorrow. After the funeral, I’ll send Bella and Cece to check it out. They’ve been there many times, and investigating a medicine shouldn’t be difficult for them."

"Then I’ll trouble you, my support."

Damian Knight curved his lips into a smile: "Verbal thanks aren’t accepted, but you could invite me to dinner."

"Dumplings?"

Damian Knight nodded: "Sure, I’ll pick you up after school tomorrow."

"Okay."

Just then, Damian Knight’s phone rang; it was a call from The Vanguard.

"Hold on a minute, I’ll take a call."

Summer Monroe nodded, and Damian Knight did not avoid her as he directly pressed the answer button.

However, Summer Monroe still didn’t hear what the other party said, only hearing Damian Knight say, "I understand, I’ll head over now." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

After the call ended, Summer Monroe spoke first, "You go ahead and handle your business first, there’s nothing urgent on my side."

"Alright." Damian Knight nodded, "It’s about the Midnight Coffee House. Do you remember Rachel Ross? The person who planned this was her father, Leo Ross. But The Vanguard people just found out from Leo that this idea was Rachel’s."
