Chapter 395

Seeing Theresa and Thomas return, Susan looked at Theresa, who playfully winked at her.

Susan, amused, said, “Theresa, thank you. I know words aren’t necessary, but I still want to say it.”

Theresa replied, “What are you talking about? You’re my good sister. Of course, Thomas helping you is the right thing. What’s the situation now?”

“We’re just buying time for now,” Susan said with a worried expression. The formula for the poison still has two or three unknown components. Thomas has been in the lab since he arrived, trying to identify these components.”

Susan’s face was filled with worry, especially considering the chaos in finances and Ava’s repeated.

instigation.

Theresa, feeling sympathy, went over and hugged her.

Then she approached Judith and took her hand. “Auntie, don’t be too sad. Things will get better.”

“It’s all thanks to you all for coming, especially Thomas. We owe him a lot for this situation,” Judith said, feeling guilty. She knew Thomas wouldn’t have intervened if it weren’t for Ben and Susan.

“It must be fate, I guess. Heaven just won’t let me live peacefully,” Thomas said, trying to lighten the mood. “Don’t look at me as if I’m heading to my doom. I’m off to the lab now. As soon as we identify the unknown components, we can develop an antidote.” With that, Thomas quickly kissed Theresa and ran off.

Theresa’s face turned bright red, and she pointed at Thomas, exclaiming in outrage. “You…”

Meanwhile, Eason arrived at the place where Edel was detained. Edel was still loudly proclaiming that he was the Medical Mystic and warning that they would regret imprisoning him.

“You should be very clear whether you’re the Medical Mystic or not. I don’t want to hear your nonsense.

If you want to get out, tell me who instructed you,” Eason said, looking at him disdainfully.

“I am the Medical Mystic, didn’t I show you the notes?” Edel stubbornly insisted, thinking he still had Ava’s support.

Eason scoffed, “The Medical Mystic? Do you think you’re worthy of that title? How much did Ava promise to pay you? Do you think you’ll live to spend that money?”

He looked at Edel like he was an idiot. Edel, realizing the gravity of the situation, said, “I… I can tell you, but you have to meet my conditions. Let me go and give me 2 million dollars.”

Edel knew that if he didn’t cooperate with Eason, he might not make it out alive, especially since he was involved just for the money.

Edel revealed to Eason that Ava had instructed him to impersonate the Medical Mystic to get close to Alexander, intending to kill him and frame Eason.

Eason was both surprised and yet found it somewhat expected. He struggled to accept this brutal reality of 09:03 MUN, 8 Apr familial betrayal.

74%世 For years, his father had turned a blind eye to Ava’s actions as long as they weren’t too extreme, but she was ready to kill their family for the throne.

Eason calmed his emotions before seeking out Ben. He needed to gather evidence against Ava and clean. up the finance department before his father woke up.

His first task was to deal with Jagger, the guard captain he once thought loyal. The thought made Eason’s Kaze dim a little.

After discussing with Ben, they decided to spread the news that Thomas had identified the poison’s formula and developed an antidote. Eason was curious to see if this would provoke any desperate actions.

That night, he had one of his trusted men sleep in Alexander’s hospital bed, setting a trap to expose and capture all involved in one fell swoop.

As expected, the desperate can indeed take action.

Jagger came, looking around cautiously before approaching the bed, holding a syringe.

He didn’t act immediately but stood by the bed, speaking to “Alexander.”

“I really didn’t want to come to this, but I have no choice. My family is still in their hands. I…”

His face twisted in agony as he picked up the syringe, his hands trembling, about to administer the injection.

Suddenly, the lights turned on, revealing Eason. Jagger dropped the syringe in shock.

“Jagger, I didn’t want to believe it, but you still came. I thought at least you wouldn’t act personally. Who instructed you?” Eason asked, although he was somewhat prepared, seeing it firsthand was still shocking.

the king. I’ve known my mission since I was born, but sometimes a mission can’t feed you,” Jagger said with a mix of “I never thought of kill mix of anger and helplessness.

“I never wanted things to come to this, but once you harbor greed, you must pay the price.”

Jagger was prepared for this end but couldn’t betray Ava. His own life was one thing, but his family was innocent.

Do you think I don’t know if you don’t tell me? I was hoping you would redeem yourself. Take him for now,” Eason said, still somewhat reluctant to come to this point with Jagger.
