Clara Thornton walked out of the room, supporting her waist.
She got the key.
Seizing the mont when Thomas Quincy was... at such a critical juncture, she took the necklace from him. Now that he was exhausted and asleep, she had to give the key to Eleanor Sterling as soon as possible.
Dragging what felt like soone else’s body, Clara Thornton headed to Eleanor Sterling’s room.
Eleanor Sterling was lazily lying on the couch. Upon seeing Clara Thornton, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Finished so quickly?"
Clara Thornton tossed the key into her lap, complaining, "For this key of yours, Thomas Quincy nearly wore out."
Eleanor Sterling covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Aren’t you enjoying it? It’s just as well; your relationship is weak, so you can cultivate so feelings. Don’t you think?"
Clara Thornton rolled her eyes.
She clearly didn’t agree with Eleanor Sterling’s statent.
She asked, "Alright, now that you’ve got the key, are you planning to enter the secret room to get the dicine Manual?"
Before Eleanor Sterling could speak, Alaric Faulkner walked in from outside, pressing Eleanor back onto the couch, saying, "You’re not going anywhere, do you still think you’re alone?"
After speaking, Alaric Faulkner glanced at her belly.
Eleanor Sterling shrugged helplessly. She had been eating well lately, with a good appetite, and indeed hadn’t developed any maternal awareness.
The secret room might not be suitable for her to enter.
Clara Thornton sighed and said, "Since you can’t go, I’ll go in. You guys wait for my good news; I’ll bring out the dicine Manual."
"Alright, once you succeed there, we’ll get the Poison Scripture from The Nash Family."
Clara Thornton took the key from Eleanor Sterling, saying, "I’m off."
"Wait." Eleanor Sterling called her back, "Are you sure your body can handle it now? Aren’t you going to take a break?"
"Ti is of the essence. If Thomas Quincy wakes up and finds the key missing, we might have to return it. So it’s better to go now."
Eleanor Sterling felt she had a point and didn’t stop her, "Alright, off you go."
Clara Thornton quickly disappeared from sight.
Eleanor Sterling sat up and said, "I hope Clara Thornton can succeed this ti."
...
At this mont, inside a room.
Nancy Nash listened to a report from her informant.
"What did you say? Clara Thornton is really heading towards the secret room?"
"Yes, I overheard that they stole the key from the Family Head and plan to go into the secret room to take the Quincy Family’s dicine Manual."
Nancy Nash’s eyes instantly darkened as she slowly curled her lips into a smile. The Quincy Family and The Nash Family both have important ancestral Poison Scriptures. Clara Thornton is probably fetching the Quincy Family’s dicine Manual for Thomas Quincy, isn’t she?
But she doesn’t know that the Quincy Family’s secret room is full of traps. A woman with no strength to bind a chicken like her surely won’t escape unscathed.
By then, if Clara Thornton dies, she can smoothly marry Thomas Quincy and beco the Quincy Family lady.
Nancy Nash’s smile quietly broadened, her face full of excitent.
Shortly after, as if sothing occurred to her, she waved at the person and said, "Co here..."
"Find so people to go with Clara Thornton into the secret room, and then inform Thomas Quincy that she went in with several n."
To prevent any accidents, Nancy Nash must make Thomas Quincy misunderstand Clara Thornton; that way, he will imdiately break off ties with Clara Thornton.
"Alright, I will do it right away."
Watching the servant leave, the smile on Nancy Nash’s lips deepened once again. This ti, she’s waiting to watch a good show.
