Chapter 931 Fragrance Journal Saves Eunice
Eunice opened her mouth, ready to say something.
However, Catherine didn't give her a chance to speak. With a swift move, she charged directly towardEunice, exuding an aura of dominance and decisiveness.
As she swiftly moved forward, a refreshing floral fragrance began to envelop her.
As one of the world's leading perfumers, she had the ability to swiftly extract the petals around her andconcoct a lethal flower pollen.
She could kill someone without a trace.
The color drained completely from Eunice's face.
She hadn't expected that Catherine's move would be a killing blow, swift, ruthless, and accurate,leaving no room for escape.
It was already too late by the time she fully realized what was happening and thought to use thesurrounding petals to create flower pollen for defense.
Eunice's body was sent flying by a sudden shockwave, then slammed into the ground, spitting out amouthful of fresh blood.
She has been poisoned by flower poison.
The floral poison was so strong and overpowering that it left Eunice completely immobilized.
Catherine stepped over a carpet of flower petals to approach her. Once she stood firm in front ofEunice, she looked down at her condescendingly and sneered, “Is this all you're capable of? That'sright. Without resorting to underhanded tactics, you wouldn't even stand a chance of battling me.Eunice, I never wanted to kill you, but you've repeatedly crossed my line. Thus, I have no choice but tosend you to hell.”
Having said that, she once again gathered a cluster of flower pollen, ready to pat it onto Eunice's body.
Just at that critical moment, the communicator on Catherine's wrist suddenly rang.
Glancing down, it was a call from the Rogers residence.
Eunice was on the brink of death, so those old folks at home were getting restless.
In truth, Eunice's art of perfumery was unparalleled among the younger generation. However, whenfaced with the extraordinary existence of Catherine, she was destined to be overshadowed.
Indeed, the Rogers family was unwilling to lose such a top-notch talent, so they compromised at thelast moment and made a phone call to Catherine.
With a cold glance at Eunice, who was lying on the ground coughing up blood, Catherine then pressedthe answer button.
In the next moment, an anxious voice came through the speaker.
“Catherine, please don't kill Eunice. Our family has finally nurtured a top-notch perfumer. She can't justdie like this. Don't you want to save your daughter? The Fragrance Journal should contain a method todeal with the parasite king. Release Eunice, and we agree to let you open the forbidden area.”
Catherine squinted slightly, looking at the clump of flower pollen in her hand, a hint of hesitationflashing in her eyes.
The terms proposed by that group of old folks were indeed enticing, so she was somewhat tempted.
The elder on the other end of the line grew more anxious when he noticed Catherine's silence. He saidin a deep voice, “If you dare to kill Eunice, we will immediately destroy the Fragrance Manual.Catherine, you surely wouldn't want to stand by and watch as your daughter is devoured by theparasite king. Hence, don't act recklessly.”
Catherine laughed softly. “So, you've known all along that the method to undo the parasite king's curseis in the Fragrance Journal, but you've kept it to yourselves. My daughter is still so young, yet you alljust stood by and watched her suffer. Well done. You've really outdone yourselves. All right. I promiseyou I will spare Eunice's life. In three days, I will bring her back to the Rogers family. You better havethe Fragrance Journal ready for the exchange. Remember, don't try any tricks. Otherwise, Eunice willdie, and the Luther family will wipe out the Rogers family.”
The elder's roar came through the phone. “You unfilial girl! What are you trying to do? Are you planningto join forces with outsiders to sever—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Catherine directly ended the call.
At that moment, everyone hiding in the shadows hurried over.
Simon looked at Eunice lying motionless on the ground, his brows furrowed as he asked, “You're notplanning to kill her?”
Catherine said casually, “Just now, an old geezer called me, offering to trade the Fragrance Journal forher unworthy life. I agreed.”
Simon rolled his eyes, a glint of sharpness flashing through his gaze.
In the next moment, he became incredibly excited. “Are you planning to trade her for the FragranceJournal? Does this mean you no longer need to succeed as the head of the Rogers family?”
Catherine furrowed her brows. In theory, that's how it is. But does this idiot really need to be thisoverjoyed?
“Having her is enough. Those old geezers wouldn't dare not to give me the journal,” Catherine said.
As soon as she finished her sentence, Simon laughed out loud. He then swept Catherine into his armsand planted a kiss on her face. “My dear, I can marry you now.”
Catherine's expression suddenly turned unpleasant, her gaze falling on the clump of flower pollen inher hand. I should stuff this thing into his mouth, and he'll be silent for the rest of his life.
However, looking at his face, similar to her daughter's, her arm felt as if it was filled with lead,impossible to lift.
“Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise? Just in time to catch Uncle Simon teasing Aunt Catherine. What a
spectacle!”
The casual tone of Zayron's voice resonated, making the atmosphere in the room even more intense.
With a blush spreading across her charming face, she lifted her foot and stomped hard on the top ofSimon's foot.
Simon let out a yelp, then doubled over, clutching his foot and wailing in pain.
Catherine couldn't be bothered with him. She strolled over to Eunice, sneering coldly, “Only that bunchof old fools would consider you someone of importance. In my eyes, you're nothing more than trash.”
Eunice clenched her fists tightly, doing her utmost to suppress the hatred and anger boiling within her. Istill have a chance. I still do. As long as I don't die, I'll always find an opportunity to turn things around.So, this woman had better pray she doesn't fall into my hands. Otherwise, I'll make her wish she wasnever born.
“Take her away, have the doctor administer an anesthetic to her, and then assign more people to keepa close watch on her.”
“Yes.” novelbin
After the two bodyguards escorted Eunice away, Catherine turned her gaze toward Bailey in thedistance. “I plan to return to the Rogers family in three days. You guys are also going to Gregan to dealwith Kurt. Shall we go together?”
Bailey nodded with a smile and said, “All right. In three days, then.”
Meanwhile, as agreed with Artemis, Archie also made a move against Tucker.
Dealing with Tucker was actually quite simple. It was all about weakening his strength.
Rather than saying that the power of the Hoffman family was in the hands of Tucker, it would be moreaccurate to say it was held by a few high-ranking members of the family with significant influence.
Therefore, Archie's target was not Tucker but those high-ranking officials who held significant power.
As a tough character, Archie confronted them with evidence of their crimes, forcing them to relinquishtheir power.
This time, it was a genuine transfer of power. Those high-ranking officials obediently handed over theirinfluence to Archie.
It was already too late by the time Tucker realized and wanted to fight back.
Because the very people who were swearing allegiance to him just moments ago had turned againsthim in the blink of an eye.
Over at the Hoffman family, drama unfolded in the high-level conference room.
With fiery red eyes, Tucker glared at the family's high-ranking members below him and roared, “I amthe legitimate son! He is nothing but a b*stard. Why have you turned against me? Why?”
One of the high-ranking members slowly stood up, steeling himself as he said, “M-Mr. Tucker, our
hands are tied. Archie has been lurking in the family business for several years, gaining control of thecompany's top secrets and obtaining evidence of our crimes. If we don't heed his words, he'llpersonally throw us in jail. Or perhaps you could compromise, step back, and take the role of second incommand—”
Before the high-ranking member could finish his sentence, Tucker shot him dead on the spot.
