Chapter 581: Spiking The Drink
Nikki was just a little shocked when she first heard what Justin said, but she soon figured it all out.
Indeed, as Justin said, Karen had a voice recording of her, which was evidence against her. It was just like a ticking ti bomb that could explode at any ti.
Even if they successfully get rid of William, what would Nikki do if Karen used this matter to blackmail her to do sothing else?
So no matter what, they had to get the evidence back from Karen. And if they couldn’t, they would have to kill her.
“Okay, Dad!” A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Nikki’s eyes.
In fact, ever since Karen sent her the voice recording to threaten her, she had been incredibly furious and annoyed with Karen. Even if they killed her in the future, Nikki wouldn’t feel any guilt at all.
“But the most important thing now is to deal with William Carter. What exactly do you want to do? His ward is so tightly guarded, so there’s no way we can do anything to him easily!” Nikki hurriedly asked.
Justin’s gaze constricted, and he said coldly, “Don’t worry. He’s in the hospital now. We’ll just get a suitable person to kill him without anyone knowing!”
Nikki was imdiately overjoyed. “That’s wonderful! Dad, you’re really impressive! Even if I wanted to, without your connections, I wouldn’t be able to find soone!”
“Hmph, that’s needless to say!” Justin glowered at her. “Don’t get involved with this type of thing ever again! If sothing happens again next ti, I won’t help you solve it!
“Also, stay away from that bitch Karen from now on. Do you hear ?” he warned solemnly.
Nikki hurriedly nodded. “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Dad! I will definitely tell you everything in the future, and I won’t act presumptuously!”
Justin nodded and made a call. “Mr. Kairo, this is Justin Heron. I need your help to get rid of soone…”
Soon, the two negotiated various details, including the price.
In the end, Justin spent 500 grand on the operation that was set to begin at night.
In the past, 500 grand would have ant nothing to the Herons.
But the Herons were being targeted now, and they had suffered heavy losses and were on the verge of bankruptcy. At this mont, this 500 grand was a huge burden for them.
He really felt the pinch. Glowering at Nikki, he said, “This is the last ti! Bear it in mind!”
Nikki was feeling the pinch too, and she imdiately agreed, “Yes, I promise there won’t be a next ti!”

At the hospital, Lucas and Cheyenne were still clueless about these conspiracies and sches.
They continued to take care of William every day, checking his condition from ti to ti to see if he would have any more movents.
The good news was that they had really seen William’s fingers move slightly, indicating that he was gradually recovering his stress response to the outside world. He might open his eyes and regain consciousness anyti soon.
But when Cheyenne saw Lucas’s bloodshot eyes, she felt a trace of heartache.
Over the past few days, Lucas had been guarding William’s ward and getting very little sleep. Moreover, whenever there was so movent at night, he would imdiately wake up.
If this went on, his body probably wouldn’t be able to take it anymore by the ti William woke up.
“Hubby, don’t sleep in the hospital tonight. Go ho and accompany Alia! We’ve been so busy lately that we’ve almost neglected her.”
This was because they had to stay with William in the hospital recently. And Charlotte had also been busy with many affairs of the Stardust Corporation, so she could usually only spare an hour or two to visit William at night.
Alia had been under Grace’s care during this period of ti.
Although Grace was very nice and got along well with Alia, children liked to cling to their parents after all. So they felt sorry toward Alia for failing to accompany her during this period of ti.
Cheyenne’s heart ached for her daughter and her husband.
Lucas hesitated without saying anything.
At the side, Karen’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, “That’s right! Lucas, it’s useless for you to stay in the hospital every day, and you’re not a doctor anyway. Cheyenne and I can watch him here. If not for the fact that hospitals aren’t suitable for children to stay for long periods of ti, I would have asked you to bring her here!”
Lucas’s dark eyes turned over, and he stared at Karen expressionlessly, imdiately causing her to panic and lower her head.
She was afraid that he would see through her thoughts.
But after looking at her, Lucas suddenly nodded and said to Cheyenne, “Okay, then I’ll go ho to stay with Alia today and co back tomorrow morning. I’ll leave all the matters in the hospital to you. Call if there’s anything.”
Cheyenne smiled gently. “Okay, I’ll take care of everything here. Don’t worry! Go ho and keep Alia company. Take a good rest too. Look at how tired you are.”
Lucas nodded and got up to leave the ward.
Behind him, a burst of ecstasy surged on Karen’s face.
She had been painstakingly waiting for two days, and finally, the fiendish monster Lucas was going to leave!
Tonight was the perfect opportunity to act!
A scheming gaze appeared in her eyes, but she didn’t notice the cold contempt at the corner of Lucas’s mouth before he left.
Once she peeked through the window and saw that Lucas had really left, Karen let out a huge sigh of relief, and her whole body beca relaxed as if it was she had broken free from shackles.
She crossed her legs and sat on the bed beside William’s. Every now and then, she would instruct Cheyenne to peel fruits and pour water for her or go out and buy snacks for her.
But Cheyenne didn’t pay attention to her.
When Karen was about to lose her temper, she t Cheyenne’s calm eyes.
“Mom, I am here to take care of Dad, and I think you should be too. If you just want to serve you here, you’d better go ho instead,” Cheyenne said coldly.
“You!” Karen was furious, but she couldn’t say anything more. In the end, she remained sitting and muttered, “Hmph, I’m your mother, but I can’t even get you to do sothing. I’ve raised you for nothing!”
Cheyenne continued to act as if she hadn’t heard her.
Since the incident two days ago, Cheyenne had been feeling extrely disappointed with Karen.
Cheyenne couldn’t bring herself to talk to Karen without any hard feelings.
Furthermore, she couldn’t let Karen stay in the ward alone.
Soon, it was evening.
After they finished the takeout, Cheyenne continued to sit by William’s hospital bed and started talking to him as usual.
After sitting for a while, Karen quietly dropped a small white pill into Cheyenne’s glass of water when she didn’t notice.
There was only a slight ripple on the surface of the water, and soon, the small pill sank to the bottom of the glass, slowly lting away and vanishing.
