Chapter 60
The assistant led Almos into the room for a meeting. "So, I hear Mr. Cameron wants a word with me?" Hequipped with a cheeky grin.
Cameron's eyes were dark with suspicion. "Almos, I must admit, I didn't anticipate this from you.
Remember my wife, Nellie?"
Almos nodded, "Crystal clear."
Cameron ground his teeth. "Good then.
Almos, I need answers. What exactly did you do to my wife? Ever since she left your place, she's like a different person." His words, laced with the anger of someone used to getting their way, skyrocketed the room's tension. Almos, still smiling, replied, "You've seen the contract your wife and I agreed upon. I just did my job and helped her forget her past with you.
So, if I'm right, she probably doesn't love you anymore."
Cameron's voice turned sharp. "I want you to bring back her memories."
Almos shrugged, "If I restore her memories, it's as good as tearing up our contract. That means I'd have to pay a massive penalty." "I'll cover it," Cameron said.
"With odds like one in ten thousand, the penalty's a cool billion. Are you sure you're ready for that?"
Cameron gulped. "You..."
Switching tactics, he said, "I promise Nellie won't hold you accountable for breaking the contract. What do you say?"
Almos shook his head. "You're not the one in charge here. I need to hear from my client herself that she's willing to break the contract."
"Almos..." Cameron's voice rose, trembling with anger, "Do you know what happens when you defy me?"
Eventually, Almos showed a hint of fear. "It's not that I don't want to help. I run a business, and integrity is everything."
Cameron's voice turned icy. "Almos, I think you're not planning to leave this room today." The threat hung heavy in the air.
Matt, catching this, moved to block Almos's exit.
Almos, genuinely worried, asked, "Are you planning to hold me hostage?"
Cameron's expression hardened.
Almos sighed, a flicker of doubt in his eyes. "Well, when I hypnotized your wife, I stumbled upon a huge secret... something I think you'd want to know." "What secret?"
Almos paused, carefully picking his words, "Let's just say, Nellie is both herself and not herself."
Cameron frowned. "What are you getting at?"
Almos continued, "Do you believe in reincarnation?"
Cameron's eyes narrowed. "You mean like past lives?"
"If you're open to hypnosis, I think you'll understand why she's
changed. But be warned, hypno
can lead to big changes. You need to be ready for that."
Cameron scoffed, "Nonsense and hocus-pocus."
Almos shook his head, resigned. "If you don't trust me, there's nothing more I can do."
In the end, Cameron, unwilling to try Almos's hypnosis, had no choice but to end the confrontation. Fast forward two years.
