Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Forget it. To prevent the Stuttgart family from seeking revenge, I’ve already killed her,” Elder Terras said coldly, “Hmph, you don’t know, do you? Your wife has a very mysterious identity. She’s the Fatal Poison Master of Neverland Island, Rose.”
Jack widened his eyes and looked at Elder Terras in disbelief.
“Rose,” Jack muttered to himself, repeating the woman’s name.
The legendary Rose was a young woman who had developed many famous poisons. Many people had died at her hands.
The Paramita Flower that Lambert had given him was the work of Rose.
Despair climbed into Jack’s heart. The woman he was crazy about was actually such a person. All of his misfortunes stemmed from her.
Looking at Jack’s pained expression, Elder Terras did not stop. He continued coldly, “She was the one who deliberately arranged the car accident. If you hadn’t changed directions, she would have killed you in the car. This woman is not some innocent flower.”
This ruthless woman had killed many powerful people in the past.
Although the poison she developed was not the strongest, it was indeed the most addictive. Some of them would even bring great torture to the poisoned victim.
Looking at Elder Terras, Jack s eyes slowly extinguished.
He still remembered the first time he had seen Catherine in the garden. Catherine was wearing a white dress and standing among the roses. Her pink cheeks were prettier than roses.
It was rare that there had been no rain in Fog City that day. The sun had glimmered through the clouds and had shone on her. She looked like an angel who had descended from the heavens.
“I didn’t protect her well.” Jack shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. “1 could have persuaded her. Why didn’t I do it?”
“You’re really crazy! We’ve already gotten rid of her,” Commander Terras reprimanded. “You won’t be able to see her again. Take care of yourself now and wait for your marriage to succeed the family.”
“I won’t marry anyone else. I only want to marry her!” Jack straightened his body and looked straight at the elder. He clenched his fists, his eyes seeming to be spewing fire.
Elder Terras stretched out his hand and slapped Jack’s face.
Jack’s face was slapped to the side and quickly swelled up.
The entire room fell silent. Everyone looked at Jack.
Jack was originally set to be the leader of this generation. Who knew that he would actually go against an elder of the Orsola family for a woman?
“Elder Terras, calm down. Jack has just undergone surgery. If you want to teach your descendants a lesson, you need to take your time,” Guo Miao said coldly.
Elder Terras was also old. This slap had exhausted all his strength, and he fell onto the wheelchair, panting.
He held his heart and pointed at Jack. “This woman almost killed you and almost destroyed your family! You’re actually still thinking about how to persuade her? You’re really stubborn and extremely stupid!”
“Elder Terras, your health is not that good, and you mustn’t be agitated. You can go back first. I’ll take care of this,” Tong Pei saw that the situation wasn’t right and said.
Elder Terras closed his eyes and calmed his breathing. He said to Jack, “I’ll let your good friend persuade you!”
He waved at Andy. “Andy, send me back. 1 don’t want to see this unfilial grandson who only has love on his mind!”
Everyone watched as Elder Terras walked out and followed suit.
For a moment, only Guo Miao, Tong Pei, and Jack were left in the room.
He lowered his head and buried his face in his hands. His shoulders kept shaking. He was probably crying.
“I really love her. If I had done more to make her feel touched by me, would we have never been separated?” Jack said as he sobbed. He was wrapped in surging sorrow, and his words were intermittent.
It was raining heavily outside, the pitter-patter annoying.
After a long time, Jack asked slowly, “Is she really dead?”
“She’s not dead. Right now, the Orsola family doesn’t have many drug makers under their control,” said Guo Miao. “They need Rose, and the Stuttgarts also need to find Rose. Killing her is the least cost-effective way.”
The reason why Elder Terras said that was because he hoped that Jack would give up Rose and let her become their drug-making tool.
“Then, was she really the one who did all these things?” Jack asked.
Tong Pei and Guo Miao didn��t say anything. The answer was obvious.
After so many years of being together, Catherine did not develop feelings for Jack. On the contrary, she hated this person who made it impossible for her to be with the man she loved even more..
