Chapter 1429

But the bodyguards were having none of it. Judith’s palms were already turning red from slapping them

in protest. “No! Don’t you dare! Dylan, come save me!” No matter how much she screamed, there was

no sign of Dylan anywhere on the boat. As the cage began its descent toward the river’s murky depths,

she finally shouted at the top of her lungs, “Tell Dylan if he gets me killed, Augus is never waking up,

and it’s no heart attack, I poisoned him! I went there to feed him the poison, to end Augus for good. Too

bad Beck got in my way. Only a drop got in, but even that’s enough to keep Augus asleep for life!” The

bodyguards’ faces turned ashen when they heard her words. They had been on speakerphone the

whole time, and everything Judith was saying was being heard by Dylan. Dylan’s phone lay next to him

while he was trying to drown his sorrows in a bottle of hard liquor, trying desperately to get drunk, but

ironically, only sobering up more. He vividly remembered how he had forced the poison down Maja’s

throat to mute her, how he had slapped her. Those shattered memories were now flashing through his

mind, tormenting him. Now hearing Judith’s words, any last bit of sympathy vanished. He gripped his

phone with a dark tone in his voice. “What did you say?” The bodyguard hurriedly held the phone up to

Judith. Judith was fearless now. She was going to be drowned anyway. Nothing she did could make

Dylan hate her more. All she wanted now was to save her own life. “Huh, didn’t catch that, Dylan? It’s a

special concoction I got from a secret society, strong enough to keep Augus out for good. Ever wonder

why he’s been asleep for so long if it was just a panic attack? I’m telling you, I’m the only one who

knows where the antidote is. If you kill me, Augus is as good as a vegetable!” Dylan had always

thought Judith was kind-hearted, spoiled, perhaps, but not beyond saving. But now, he saw just how

blind he had been. His father had never deprived Judith of anything, raising her in luxury, and this was

how she repaid him. “Judith, I can’t believe you’d do this.” Judith felt a pang, but it wasn’t remorse. It

was spite. How could Dylan not be on her side? Hadn’t he promised to protect her for

life? “I’m capable of anything! Blame it on Maja, if she’d never come back, how great that would have

been. If she wasn’t your real sister, we all would’ve been fine. It’s all because of Maja. She ruined me

completely!” Dylan was annoyed. As the heir to the Sanders family and well-acquainted with the ways

of the North American elite, he was all too aware of how ugly human nature could be. But with Judith,

all that paled in comparison. He clenched his phone tightly, taking a long time before asking, “Where’s

the antidote?” “Bring me back to the villa first, then I’ll tell you.” A chill flickered in Dylan’s eyes as he

ordered the bodyguards, “Take her back.” Judith breathed a sigh of relief. Her life was spared. But what

she didn’t know was that sometimes, living can be more painful than death. And Dylan, having written

her off completely, could be ruthlessly efficient in his methods, enough to drive someone to despair. For

now, Judith was relieved to be alive, but in a few days, she would be begging for death. She was

unaware of Dylan’s cunning, still believing he was her gentle brother who had always been kind to her.
