Chapter 432 Consider Taking Her On
Henry’s face froze at those words, his expression stiffening as he tried to hide his shock.
He hadn’t expected Raven to suspect him so directly.
To outsiders, Henry was seen as Helena’s most trusted subordinate. But in truth, Helena treated him like a disposable tool -a dog to be summoned and dismissed at will.
Henry had long been planning to seize power, waiting for the moment when Helena’s illness would leave her vulnerable.
When he handed the treasure box to Raven, it wasn’t out of faith in her abilities. He had hoped her inexperience would
worsen Helena’s condition, making his takeover easier.
But to his surprise, Raven had actually managed to cure Helena.
Frustrated, he tried a different tactic–confessing his feelings to Raven in an attempt to win her over before she left.
After she rejected him, he resorted to tampering with Helena’s medicine, hoping to delay her recovery and ensure his plan went off without a hitch.
However, when Helena regained her clarity and learned that he had given the treasure box to Raven, she immediately ordered his execution.
With his ambition to replace Helena as the leader already in motion, Henry seized the opportunity. He poisoned her, then manipulated the existing tensions between Raven and the other doctors, including John, to frame Helena’s death on her.
Henry’s expression flickered for just a moment.
But he quickly regained his composure, his tone turning sharp once more. “Ridiculous! Ms. Rickard treated me with nothing but kindness–why would I ever poison her? It’s your incompetence as a healer that killed her, and now you’re trying to frame me? You’re nothing but a venomous snake!”
Raven chuckled softly. “Kindness? Does that mean you’re incapable of betrayal? If I’m not mistaken, with Helena gone, the one who benefits the most… is you.”
The moment Raven’s words landed, the members of Lunshire behind Henry froze in shock.
Their gazes shifted uneasily, a flicker of doubt creeping into their eyes.
“Enough talk, Mr. Vega. Just call the police station and let them handle this!” John interjected at just the right moment.
John didn’t care about the affairs of Lunshire. All he wanted was Raven dead.
Since Henry had yet to kill Raven, the only option left for John was to call in the Sunset Empire’s police station.
That said, he could understand Henry’s hesitation.
After all, this was the Ortega family’s territory, and Raven was their esteemed guest.
On top of that, with Helena’s recent death, Lunshire couldn’t afford to provoke a conflict with the Sunset Empire.
So, even though John was desperate to see Raven dead, he knew letting the Sunset Empire’s police station handle it was the smarter choice.
The doctors standing next to John nodded in agreement. “Exactly! A scheming woman like her, willing to do anything for her own gain, deserves to rot in prison!”
Someone mocked, “Prison? That’s far too lenient! She killed Ms. Rickard–she should pay with her life!”
Henry’s gaze lingered on Raven for a few seconds before he finally nodded. “Call the police station.”
He believed that Lunshire would soon be his, and he wouldn’t risk it clashing with the Hiemal Court.
‘Letting Raven die at the hands of the Sunset Empire’s officials was the cleanest and most effective solution.
Meanwhile, Estella stood by the staircase on the second floor, a glass of champagne in hand. Her gaze swept over the lively crowd in the grand hall below, and a faint, knowing smile curved her lips. She exuded the aura of someone who had everything under control.
She didn’t believe Henry’s claims, nor did she think Raven had simply used cheap tricks to fool the doctors an
Even now, she was convinced that Raven was a medical prodigy.
But Raven’s personality was far too headstrong–Estella believed she needed to be tempered.
For now, the priority was to bring her into the fold.
kill Helena.
With that thought, Estella turned to her butler and said, “Go downstairs and talk to Raven. Tell her I’ve invited Ethan Reed, the president of the World Medical Conference.
“If she agrees to join the Ortega family and work for me, I’ll give her the chance to prove her skills in front of Ethan Reed.
