Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Despite Ava’s many efforts, no information about the antidote was found. Now, they could only hope in

Thomas.

He thought maybe Ben would know about the Phoenix Collective, so he went to find Ben.

Upon mentioning Harrison, Ben narrowed his eyes and smirked contemptuously. “It seems we were too lenient with Harrison before. I didn’t realize he was involved with such a secretive organization. I’ve heard of the Phoenix Collective but didn’t pay much attention to it. It looks like I underestimated them.”

This isn’t the Phoenix Collective. It’s more like hell,” Eason said, raising an eyebrow.

“We’ll have to start with Harrison then. I want to see just how capable the Phoenix Collective really is,” Ben said confidently.

As they were discussing their plan of action, Thomas suddenly said, “I’ve figured out the formula for the poison. I finally know what the unknown ingredient is.”

Everyone rushed to Thomas’s side. “Now that we know the formula, we can develop the antidote. We should have results within a week.”

After saying that, everyone was extremely excited. Ben looked at Susan and smiled. Susan also smiled at Ben.

Theresa ran over and hugged Thomas, saying. You’re amazing. Then she kissed Thomas.

Thomas was taken aback and a bit confused. After a moment, Thomas said to Theresa, “Do that again, I didn’t quite feel it.” Blushing. Theresa replied. “Feel what? Just go and make the antidote. Hurry up

and develop it.”

“Alright, alright, I’m on it,” Thomas said, giving Theresa a quick kiss before leaving.

A mix of

Theresa watched him go, helplessness and happiness on her face.

Holding Judith’s hand, Susan said, “Look, the antidote will be ready soon. Your father will be fine.”

“Yes, thank goodness for all of you,” Judith said, looking around the room with a relieved smile.

The more Ben investigated the Phoenix Collective, the more shocked he became. As Eason had said, it was like hell.

The Phoenix Collective was developing a toxic gas with devastating effects, comparable to a nuclear bomb, a threat to all–countries.

In addition, they also had a drug development center, smuggling, and drug trading, which were not good things.

They also owned several legitimate companies, dominating various industries.

What shocked Ben even more was discovering Timothy, presumed dead, was actually with Harrison.

Using the name King, Ben shared the Phoenix Collective’s actions with world leaders. They needed global unity to combat it.

Soon, Tonico received invitations from various world leaders to discuss eliminating the Phoenix Collective. After a meeting, countries began to take action.

Before long, several large enterprises quietly went bankrupt, and the drug and toxic gas factories were raided.

Realizing his enterprise was inexplicably targeted by the government, Harrison knew it was over. “You can go. You’re not one of us and you can still escape.” But before he could finish, the police arrived and arrested everyone.

Timothy didn’t try to defend himself, as he had nothing left to hold onto.

In the hospital, Thomas excitedly ran to the ward, announcing, “The antidote has been developed. I’ll administer it to Mr. Nicholas first.”

Everyone stared fixedly at Thomas.

“Done. It was hard to focus with all of you staring at me like that, Thomas said, half–jokingly.

Seeing Eason about to speak, Thomas quickly said, “He won’t wake up immediately. He’s too weak. It’ll take some time.”

Ben, feeling relieved that things were settling down, suddenly remembered Timothy. Though he didn’t want to bring him up, he thought it might affect Susan to know he died in front of her.

“Timothy didn’t die, but he got involved in some activities of the Phoenix Collective because of Harrison. So, he’s been arrested,” Ben said.

“It doesn’t matter to me whether he’s dead or alive. His life is his own,” Susan said, though deep down, she felt a sense of closure, remembering how he had fallen in front of her,

A few days later, Alexander had fully recovered. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

With his mission accomplished, Thomas decided to leave with Theresa.

“We’ve been here for quite a while, and Mr. Nicholas is fine now. Theresa and I plan to explore Tonico a bit, so we won’t disturb your family reunion. Thomas said.

“It’s not a disturbance at all. But since it’s your first time in Tonico, let me arrange some sightseeing for you. Eason offered hospitably.

“No need, we prefer exploring on our own, Theresa quickly replied.

“Yeah, don’t interrupt our alone time,” Thomas cheekily said.

Theresa glared at him with a red face.

“Alright, alright, we won’t be third wheels,” Susan said, grateful for their help but knowing that thanks were not enough to express her gratitude.

After they left, the family returned to the palace.

“I want to include you in our family registry. Would that be okay?” Alexander asked Susan cautiously.

Eason and Judith also looked at Susan expectantly.

Seeing their hopeful eyes, Susan couldn’t refuse and agreed. “But let’s skip any ceremony. I still plan to return to Coraland. After all, that’s where my home is.”

Finishing her statement, Susan looked at Ben, who gazed back at her affectionately, touched that she referred to Coraland as her home.
