Female Novel
Chapter 1093
Even at that point, Chandler was still unwilling to speak.
His entire body ached so intensely that he was on the verge of passing out, yet he gritted his teeth, refusing to letout a sound.
“I didn't expect you to be so tight-lipped!” Violet sneered, her whole being radiating a chilling aura. “I'm curiousto see which is stronger, your stubborn silence or your family's will to live! I'm giving you one more chance. Ifyou still refuse to speak, I will make sure your wife, your children, your parents, and all your loved ones perishalongside you! You should know me by now. I always keep my word. Killing a few insignificant people is no bigdeal for me. I'm not one to show mercy!”
Upon hearing those words, Chandler immediately became anxious. His eyes widened, and his whole body startedshaking like a sieve. She's the Grim Reaper. She has always lived up to her words. If she dares utter such words,she'll be sure to follow through!
In the end, he couldn't withstand her threats and confessed everything. “I-I'll speak! I-It was Charles who orderedme to do it!”
“Charles?”
“Yes, that's right! He bribed me before. He fears getting tortured, so he wanted me to end his life just in case. Thepotion was given to me by him. He told me to pour it down his throat during the critical moment. Everything I'vesaid is true. I didn't deceive you. He's the one who made me do it!”
As he spoke, he began to plead.
“I beg you. I've confessed everything as per your demands. Please, don't harm my family. I know I can't escape
now, but I hope my family won't be implicated. I beg you...”
Chad, however, didn't believe him and interrupted his pleas for mercy, “You've worked for the Cox family forover a decade. You should be well acquainted with their health conditions. I suspect it's not as simple as just beingbought off by Charles, is it?”
He turned his head to look at the two elders of the Cox family.
“It would be best if you spare his life for now. Who knows what unspeakable secrets he might be hiding? We'llneed to interrogate him thoroughly later.”
Upon hearing that he was to be interrogated again, Chandler panicked and began to cry out anxiously,“Everything I've said is the absolute truth. I swear I'm not hiding anything. Please, I beg you to believe me!”
However, who would believe the words of a traitor?
After hearing Chad's words, the two elders didn't even bother to respond. They directly ordered their subordinatesto drag Chandler into a room and lock him up. “Also, send someone to keep his family under control. Monitortheir every move discreetly, and don't let them out of your sight.”
“Yes!” The subordinate accepted the order and immediately set off to carry it out.
As Chandler was being dragged away, he continued to shout, insisting that every word he said was the truth, butno one paid him any attention.
After his voice had completely faded away, the atmosphere in the corridor remained somewhat oppressive.
The turn of events that day was truly overwhelming, and everyone was still struggling to process it.
After a good while, the two elders finally spoke apologetically. “We're sorry for making you witness such a scene,Mr. Gordon. If it weren't for you and Ms. Garcia today, we can't imagine what would have happened to Mr. Cox.”
Chad waved his hand. “There's no need to be so formal with me.”
Neera modestly said, “I am a doctor. This is what I should do.” Then, she continued, “Next, I need to go back andstart making the medicine. I'll have to trouble you all to take care of Mr. Cox. Once I've developed the medicine,there will be no more problems. With an additional half a year to a year of rest, Mr. Cox's health will be fullyrestored.”
The good news cleared the gloom in the corridor.
The two elders nodded repeatedly and hummed in agreement, looking incredibly excited.
Soon, Neera left with Osbert and the others to go to the research center.
On the road, Osbert couldn't help but sigh. “The covert and overt conflicts within a prominent family are reallysomething. If one doesn't always stay vigilant, they will fall into another's schemes.” novelbin
Luigi still felt a lingering unease when he thought about what had happened in the treatment room. “Yeah, they'realways threatening people's lives. It's hard to live comfortably like that.”
The two exchanged a couple of quips. Then, Osbert glanced at the glass bottle, unable to resist asking out ofcuriosity, “Neera, what's the purpose of this big black bug? It's not going to be like what Mr. Saunders did,turning it into medicine to be consumed, right?”
