Ivy Kensington was already awake. Her mouth was taped shut, rendering her speechless. She could only make sounds from her throat to resist.
Sebastian Blackwood’s footsteps suddenly came to a halt as he descended the stairs.
"Master Blackwood, what’s the matter?"
Owen Rhodes, seeing him come to a sudden stop, asked in confusion.
Sebastian turned his tall frame slightly, lifting his gaze a couple of notches upward.
He... seemed to have heard Ivy Kensington’s voice...
"Did you hear anything just now?"
Owen was stunned, he hadn’t heard anything.
Chloe Ford was also puzzled, saying, "I didn’t hear anything either."
Sebastian withdrew his gaze and without any more pause, continued striding down.
Ivy could only watch helplessly as the three figures disappeared before her eyes, and despair filled her heart. Googlᴇ search novel_fіre.net
Evan Lowell gave a sinister smile, "Bitch, you were almost discovered."
Ivy had ruined his big plans, and she would have to pay the price!
Soon, Evan yanked Ivy in another direction.
She wasn’t sure how long the car was driving, but it finally stopped in the depths of a deep, dark forest.
When Ivy opened her eyes, she saw a dense darkness outside the forest, and upon careful listening, there seemed to be the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.
Evan got out of the car and dragged Ivy by the arm, giving her a push forward.
A maid stepped out and led Ivy inside.
As soon as she entered, she smelled the varied scents of many different herbs. The mixture of odors made the whole room not particularly pleasant.
At this point, Ethan walked out.
Seeing Ivy, he discreetly furrowed his brow.
This was the Lowell Group’s poison base; how did she end up here?
Evan glanced at him, snorting displeasedly, "Ethan, you said you could get the contents of the Medical and Poison Dual Classics out of this woman, but you deceived me!"
"Just now, she almost messed up my good plans again. Tell me, how should I punish her?"
Evan wasn’t seeking Ethan’s opinion; he was notifying him that he planned to deal with Ivy!
Ethan lowered his gaze and said, "Dad, do whatever you want."
To protect Ivy would only backfire.
Furthermore, Ivy had continuously refused him, and it was time she realized who she could truly rely on at this moment.
Ivy’s heart was calm.
She had never hoped that Ethan would help her...
"Someone, feed her the poison silk!"
At Evan’s command, a servant quickly brought up a vial of poison.
"You wanted to save those poisoned at the wedding, now I’m giving you a chance to experience the sensation of being poisoned. If you survive, they too will live; otherwise, you’ll all go to hell together!"
Evan spoke playfully, showing no regard for the value of human life.
Ivy was forced to drink the poison. Instantly, a violent pain spread from her limbs throughout her body.
Blood even started to trickle from her nose...
Evan had seen such scenes many times before, and Ivy’s poisoned state held no allure for him.
"Whether you can survive depends on your own ability!"
With those words, Evan turned and left the room.
Ethan watched Ivy’s painful, struggling figure on the floor, furrowing his brow as he said, "Ivy, as long as you ask me, I can give you the antidote."
