Chapter 780:

Meanwhile, in Uwhor, a pair of cold and calculating eyes sparkled with satisfaction, noting how the drug had taken effect on Lindsay.

The next day, Hale returned from Uwhor to the small island on the outskirts of Baythorn.

Etta had already ensured everything was meticulously prepared for his arrival.

The moment Hale stepped ashore, Etta approached with a deferential demeanor, her voice warm and welcoming.

“Mr. Norris, good evening. You have had quite the journey. I have prepared a delightful meal to celebrate your return.”

Etta had transformed into Hale’s most loyal and submissive subordinate. The idea of marrying Rhys, the head of the Green Group, no longer held any appeal for her. She craved something far greater.

Her ambition was to rise to the apex of the power structure, to tower above the entire Sanderson family, and to watch those who had once looked down on her grovel for her approval.

Etta’s return to the Sanderson family had been orchestrated by Hale to serve as his eyes and ears, keeping a close watch on Harlee. Thus, when the Sanderson and Green families began discussing the engagement banquet, Hale, far away in Uwhor, was already informed.

The news of Harlee’s impending engagement to Rhys didn’t provoke even a flicker of anger from Hale.

His expression remained composed.

After all, this was all part of his plan.

Hale’s gaze lingered on Etta for a moment, a faint smile curling his lips.

He gave a small nod of approval.

The upgraded drug, having been administered to Etta, was certainly more effective than he had anticipated.

In a low voice, he said, “Well done.”

Etta lowered her head.

“Thank you for your acknowledgment. I’m just fulfilling my duties.”

Behind them, Lucretia Hinks cleared her throat, breaking the moment.

Hale turned toward her with a tone of muted respect.

“Mrs.

Hinks, please.”

Lucretia glanced at Etta, her expression a mix of charm and authority as she asked Hale, “Is this the upgraded Bloodthirstiness Pill?” Hale nodded subtly.

Satisfied, Lucretia moved past Etta without a second glance, heading toward the villa.

Hale followed closely behind Lucretia.

Etta’s brow furrowed for a fraction of a second as she followed them. Upgraded Bloodthirstiness Pill? What could that mean?

“Etta.” Hale’s voice cut through her thoughts like a blade.

Etta snapped to attention, quickening her pace to catch up.

“Yes, Mr. Norris?”

“Have you completed the task I assigned?” Hale asked.
