Vincent Vance thought for a mont and instructed her, "Go make a cup of coffee."
"Okay, I’ll get right on it." The servant agreed, then turned and left. Before long, a woman’s voice softly called from outside the door: "Sir, the coffee you wanted is here."
Though the woman’s voice was deliberately altered, Vincent imdiately recognized it as lanie Morgan’s voice.
Very well, she took the bait so quickly.
Feigning a headache, Vincent lay on the bed without moving. After lanie called a few tis at the door and heard no response, she nervously opened the door and walked in.
Seeing Vincent lying on the bed, appearing to be asleep, she quietly approached him and reached out to touch his handso face.
However, as soon as her hand stretched out, Vincent suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her wrist.
"You, you weren’t asleep?" lanie was taken aback, frozen in place, not knowing what to do.
Vincent sneered, yanking lanie’s wrist and pushing her onto the floor.
"What did you expect? Did you think your drugging act would go unnoticed?" Staring at the disheveled lanie on the floor, a glint of disdain flashed in Vincent’s eyes as he called toward the door, "Jacob, co in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jacob Jennings pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.
Upon entering, Jacob bent down to look at lanie, who was slumped on the floor, and laughed, "The poison you secretly used on the Sir has already been swapped out by ."
Upon hearing Jacob’s words, lanie’s face turned pale, and she stamred, "I’m sorry, I didn’t an to. It was the old man who asked to drug you, it has nothing to do with !"
"The old man told you to drug ?" Hearing this, Jacob quickly turned to glance at Vincent behind him, then grabbed lanie by her clothes and lifted her up.
"I warn you, if you dare lie to about this matter, I’ll make your death unbelievably painful!"
"How could I dare lie to you? Think about it, without the old man’s hint, would I dare to drug the Sir on his territory? Besides, don’t you think it was incredibly easy to drug him? And it went so smoothly when I ca in?"
lanie looked up at the silent Vincent behind Jacob. Seeing his terrifyingly dark expression, she hurriedly explained.
Vincent found a chair to sit on, staring coldly at lanie for a full minute before slowly speaking, "Why did he do this?"
lanie paused, knowing that if she didn’t answer honestly, with Vincent’s temper, he’d surely kill her himself. She then quietly said, "I don’t know. All I know is the old man wanted to drug you, then told to co to your room. I’m not very clear about the rest."
Seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, Vincent signaled Jacob with a glance. Seeing this, Jacob quickly asked her, "There’s one more thing you need to clarify for . If you dare lie, I’ll take your life."
"Y-you say it."
"I ask you, after you kidnapped the young lady that day, did you have soone cast an insect on her?"
Hearing this, lanie’s eyes flickered slightly, and she hurriedly lied, "No, how could I dare?"
"No? I’m giving you one last chance. If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll kill you right here!"
With a cold smile, Jacob suddenly drew a gun from his waist and aid the dark muzzle at lanie’s chest, threatening her.
"I was wrong, I shouldn’t have kidnapped May, but I really didn’t cast an insect on her, I didn’t."
Facing the terrifying gun, lanie shivered and hurriedly knelt in front of Vincent, clutching his pants, feigning innocence.
"Sir, I think this woman hasn’t learned her lesson; let deal with her."
Jacob said as he ca over to drag lanie away, and the gun in his hand rcilessly pressed against lanie’s temple.
"Don’t stain my eyes, throw her out," Vincent said coldly.
"No, Vincent, everything I’ve done was out of love for you! Why do you have to trample on my love for you? Why?"
Being rcilessly dragged by Jacob by the hair, facing impending death, lanie suddenly broke down and cried.
She glanced up at Vincent, but when she saw the disdain clearly in his eyes, she suddenly laughed maniacally in despair.
"Yes, you guessed it right, I did have soone cast an insect on your woman. Her dragon tattoo is proof of being afflicted. Let tell you, May is not human now. Last ti I cut her, and guess what? Hahaha, her wound healed imdiately, like nothing happened. Don’t you find such a woman disgusting? Don’t you find it terrifying when you hold her?"
Driven mad with anger and driven by a desperate, destructive spirit, lanie exposed everything about May. She couldn’t believe Vincent could accept May’s abnormal physique.
Seeing the rapid healing of May’s body shocked and terrified her; she didn’t believe Vincent could truly accept a woman like a monster as his wife.
A fierce light flashed in Vincent’s eyes, and he suddenly kicked lanie, sending her flying three ters away.
"Bitch!"
The mont Vincent finally discovered the truth, he squeezed the words out through clenched teeth in a rage, then kicked the woman on the ground, sending her flying once more.
After being kicked to the ground by Vincent, lanie felt like her organs were being crushed, painfully showing Vincent’s imnse strength.
How could he not be angry? He once thought he was mistaken, even hoping for May’s baby to be safely born, but now, because of this bitch, everything was lost.
He wanted to do more than just kick her; he wanted to cut her into pieces.
Jacob was also enraged. He never expected a woman’s malice to be so extre, so before Vincent could make another move, he quickly bent down and pulled lanie off the ground, then threatened her with the gun, "A woman as malicious as you shouldn’t exist in this world."
"Don’t, don’t kill . I was wrong, I was wrong, don’t kill ."
Seeing Jacob cock his gun, really intending to kill her, terrified lanie as she crawled to Vincent’s feet, begging desperately.
"Want to live? Then tell how to undo the insect. If you dare say one wrong word, I won’t let you off."
Suppressing the anger rising in his chest, Vincent tried to remain calm while questioning lanie.
Killing her would be easy, but if she died, the Dragon Insect’s secret would be just that—a secret. For May, for their future, he had to keep this woman alive.
"I-I don’t know. I just wanted to retrieve the Dragon Insect from the Jade Pendant and hand it over to the old master. So I hired an old local woman skilled in the Poisonous Insect Technique to do it. How could I know she’d secretly cast an insect on May? I’m truly innocent, I didn’t know she’d do that."
