Female Novel
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 Dylannovelbin
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.
