Chapter 263 Story of The Mysterious Man
Amber directly hung up the phone call.
On the other end, Elias, staring at the home screen, adjusted his eyeglasses, his face emotionless.
After all, he had long realized her mistrust in him, which explained her attitude.
Putting away his phone, he laid his hands on his knee, fingers interlocked, and looking at the man on
the sofa opposite him, "She's not coming."
"I heard it." Jeremy nodded, sipping his tea.
"You're really going team up with me to deal with Makenna?"
"She picked on Amber. I'll get even with her. What's more, you are a doctor, while I am a hacker, who
can help you get rid of all the obstacles. Isn't that convenient?" Jeremy raised his chin.
Elias smiled, "Alright. Wish we all a great success."
The ally, without a response, put down the teacup and was ready to depart.
Suddenly Elias spoke again, "You're plagued with your mental illness. Go see a doctor as soon as
possible. You don't want to end up in self-destruction, do you?"
Jeremy's footstep was halted for a while, yet later proceeded with no turning back. It was merely his
voice of indifference that echoed in the room, "None of your business!"
"I'm not interested in it at all. I only care about Amber, which excludes everything but Amber. If you
can't control your illness, not only you but Amber will get hurt. I hope you bear that in mind." Elias arose
from the chair.
Jeremy clenched his fists while his lips trembled as if something swirling in his mind was to be uttered.
But eventually, he remained silent and left.
Elias flipped the scalpel in his hand for a few times, his eyes glinting with unfathomable emotions.
As someone who knew a thing or two in psychology, Elias was very clear that this Jeremy was a
downright psychopath. Though well-disguised at present, his personality would completely transform
into a completely different one if Jeremy didn't want to hide it anymore or due to some certain
stimulation.
And his obsession was anchored on Amber, which in order to own her, would induce him to do
something crazy like imprisoning her or such.
Of course, Elias would never let him have the chance to do this. He was keeping an eye on Jeremy. If
he dared make any move, Elias would turn him into a specimen.
A psychopath wasn't no match to a born sociopath!
Elias slightly curled up his lips. He walked out and headed for a ward inspection.
On arriving at Jared's ward, he knocked on the door.
The man inside was busy with his tie, and when he spotted Elias out of the corner of his eye, he said
nothing.
Elias didn't mind his indifference. Leaning against the door, his arms folded in front of chest, he asked,
"You're discharged?"
Jared nodded.
"Well, I have something to tell you." Elias looked at him.
Jared was putting on the diamond tie clip. "What?"
"Makenna's split personality was faked."
Jared only blinked his eyes, his face unchanged.
Surprised, Elias squinted at him, "You seemed to have known it already?"
"It was only a guess." Jared turned to look at him.
That was why he wasn't astounded by the news.
"But you, were the one who diagnosed her with split personalities in the first place." Jared stuffed his
hands into his trouser pockets and stared at him with his glacial eyes.
Elias shrugged, "I won't deny my fault of it. I was on good terms with her. I would help her with anything
she wanted. Besides, I also bribed Dr. Stevenson."
Not batting an eyelid, still, as Jared had already figured out what was with Makenna's pseudo illness.
"It seems that you really broke up with Makenna." Jared's voice was soaked in aloof chilliness.
It could be beheld in the eyes of Elias that a storm of rage was gathering, "I did all I could for her
because I thought she was my life-savor. But it turned out I was saved by someone else. She, however,
didn't correct my mistake but continued to use my help. How could I be okay with that?"
Jared, who now had learned the whole story, found it all the more ironic that Makenna was actually a
habitual sham!
She had conceived both Jared and Elias by pretending to be Amber and Elias' life saver.
"Why are you telling me this now but keeping it from me before?"
He didn't believe that Elias meant well.
First of all, they might be friends but not that closely bonded; for another, Jared knew that Elias was
scheming and calculating, who was not equipped with an indignant head of a fool, who would rush to
do something without driven by interest.
Elias smiled, "I did have my purpose, but it's not the time to tell you yet. Just wait for it. Well, here
comes your assistant. I suppose there must be some urgency for such a hurry. Take your time and I
shall go on with my inspection."
With that, he paced to the next ward.
As soon as he left, Ben appeared at the door.
"Mr. Farrell!" He was panting.
Jared frowned, "What happened?"
"I've found out about Dr. Lansdale's schoolmate. Moreover, I also knew how Makenna and he get
acquainted." Said the assistant before taking a deep breath.
Jared's face turned serious. "Spit it."
"Sure." Ben nodded. "His name is Mikel Schafer. Because he was born with emotional blunting, his
parents took him to a foreign country for psychological treatment when he was very young. There he
was accepted as a student by Jason, the master of hypnotizing."
Jared pursed his thin lips, "Go on."
"When he grew up to ten years old, his parents both died in a car accident, leaving only his little brother
Martin Schafer, three years younger than him, who was his most cherished person Mikel Schafer
mentioned that day. Martin was also the ex-boyfriend of Makenna."
Jared squinted, "Ex-boyfriend?"
"Exactly. When he came from abroad at eighteen years old, he was initiatively pursued by Makenna for
his handsome appearance. Three years later, Makenna asked for break-up, who then pretended to be
Miss Reed and went to meet with you."
"What happened to Martin then?"
"Dead."
"Dead?" Slightly was he dumbfounded.
Ben nodded, "He also died from a car crash. It was said that he wanted to ask Makenna to come back
when he crossed the road, and got hit by a car."
Jared was silent.
No wonder at that night when he told Mikel Schafer to hypnotize Makenna and get her and that person Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
together, Mikel replied that it was too late.
Because that person had perished six years ago.
"Martin Schafer, in fact, did not die on the spot, instead he had been hanging in there for three days in
the hospital before passing away. Just before he died, Mikel returned from abroad. Knowing that he
was gonna breathe his last and was unable to win back Makenna's heart from you, Martin wanted to
grant her wish. So he asked his brother to hypnotized you to make you subconsciously fall in love with
Makenna, hence letting you believe firmly that Makenna was Maple Leaf."
"That's the reason why I didn't notice anything suspicious about her!" Jared's fists were clenched more
tightly.
The assistant sighed, "Yes, but not only you, Lady Georgia, your mother, your brother and I, those who
knew about Maple Leaf had all been hypnotized. But he was so clever that he managed to erase our
memory about him. That's why we have had the faintest idea about being hypnotized at all."
He felt scared in hindsight.
It was lucky that Mikel merely hypnotized them to hide Makenna's real identity.
What if they were hypnotized to take their own lives, or to leak the classified information of the Farrell
Group?
He couldn't even think about it.
