Harry rushed forward, grabbing Lilian by the neck with a vice–like grip. “You’re so evil!”

Lilian’s breath was cut off in an instant. The suffocating pain caused her face to turn red, but she just laughed hysterically. “I banished the girl you’ve treated like your life’s purpose in the countryside when she was young. She’s endured so much hardship. You’ve failed your mission! The true heiress should be my daughter, Jessica! She’s the real heiress!”
Harry glared at Lilian in disgust, his fury boiling over. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to strangle her. “You blasted wench, you’ve ruined me! I’m going to kill you right now!!
His grip tightened, and Lilian felt herself slipping toward the edge of consciousness.
Yet, she couldn’t die.
She refused to give on.
With shaking hands, Lilian groped around and found an ashtray. She grabbed it and swung it with all her might, smashing it against Harry’s head.
Blood splattered everywhere.
A stream of blood trickled down Harry’s face, and his grip loosened. His body collapsed to the ground.
Harry fell.
Lilian clutched at her neck, gasping for air. The feeling of having escaped death left her trembling with fear.
She looked down at Harry, lying in a pool of blood. “Honey? Honey?”
But Harry had already passed out.
“Honey, I really love you, but you’ve betrayed me! Now, Jessica is my everything. I won’t let anyone stand in my daughter’s way, not even you. So this…this is on you!”
Just then, footsteps echoed from outside. Stanley and Wendy had returned.
Lilian froze. They were here!
What should she do now?
Outside, Stanley and Wendy had already come upstairs. Wendy had just been forced to drink a bowl of chicken soup and was hurrying back to prepare the antidote.
“Mr. Hawk, you can go now. You don’t have to stay here with me,” Wendy said.
Stanley looked at her with concern. “Wendy, I need to stay here with you. I’ll only be at ease if I’m right here.”
Just then, Horace walked over. “Hello, there.”
Wendy turned to Horace. “Mr. Larson.”
“How’s the antidote coming along?” Horace asked.
“I’m still working on it-”
Before Wendy could finish, a sudden scream echoed from inside. “Ah!”
Wendy immediately stood up. “What’s happening?”
“Let’s go see,” Horace said.
Wendy, Stanley, and Horace rushed into the room. They quickly found Harry lying motionless on the floor.

Lilian was kneeling, tears streaming down her face. “Honey! What happened? Please wake up!”
Stanley stepped forward. “What happened to Mr. Crone?”

Lilian sobbed. “I don’t know what happened! When I came in, he was already lying here. It seems like he hit his head on the table.”
Wendy immediately moved closer. “I’ll check his pulse.”
But Lilian stopped her. “No need. The doctor’s on his way!”
At that moment, a doctor ina white coat rushed in. “Quick, hurry and get Mr. Crone out of here! I’ll take over the resuscitation.”
The servants lifted Harry’s body, and Lilian quickly followed them out of the room.
Before leaving, she turned to Wendy. “Hurry and make the antidote for Jessica. I need to take care of my husband!”
