Vera's eyes were ringed with blue, and her face darkened. There was white foam frothed from her mouth. This clearly indicated she had been poisoned for a while."Who did this to you?" Ruben had seen many tragedies, but the scene before him shocked him deeply."No one, it was me. I poisoned them with sodium nitrite. These two have been draining me my whole life. To think that in the end, they planned to betray me for 500,000 dollars. Betrayers... Now, nobody gets to live!" Vera held a despairing look, and her tone was filled with sorrow. It startled Ruben.As Vera's condition worsened, she began to gasp for air and was barely breathing in."Take her away!" Ruben commanded with a dark expression.As soon as Vera was admitted to the hospital, Nicholas arranged for her to be taken to the ICU for emergency treatment.Celeste and Damon left Leo in Serena's care and met with Ruben in an office at Davidson Hospital to discuss the situation.Ruben detailed everything to the two."Ther

Celeste didn't struggle. She was now feeling utterly lost and anxious.She thought she might need a drink or a cigarette to calm her nerves.When people felt overwhelmed, one would sometimes resort to slightly self-destructive behaviors that brought her temporary solace. She often dug her nails so deeply into her palm that an unnatural indentation formed on her right hand. Similarly, she had a tendency to drink strong liquor, relying on the alcohol to dull her normally sharp senses.It was exactly because of this that she, being part of a sensitive demographic, maintained her composure and never panicked in public.She leaned her head barely against Damon's shoulder. She was just resting against him and not embracing him back or speaking.Damon cooed a few words. Noticing there was no response from Celeste, he, too, fell silent. He held her and sensed as time passed second by second. He wished it would slow down, even just a little.About five minutes passed."Give me a cigarett

Vera died. The worst had happened.Damon and Celeste waited outside the ICU while initially holding onto a sliver of hope. However, now their expressions turned serious."Vera took a lethal dose of sodium nitrite. This is unexpected," Nicholas said."Are your people reliable?" Damon asked.Nicholas responded after a moment. "Of course. Do we need to keep this strictly confidential?"Damon nodded slightly, then contacted Liam straight away."Spread the word that Vera has been detained in the detention center at Southlake and that the parents of the poisoned children will surely pursue this matter. Especially Celeste and the Belasco family."He intended to mention the Bishop family specifically, as Leo was the child of the Bishop family. However, only a few were aware of this. He had to consider Celeste's feelings.Being a longtime acquaintance and a clever one at that, Celeste immediately understood Damon's thoughts."I can pretend to be Vera'."Since the goal was to use Vera

In prisons, women, too, established their hierarchy.While male prisoners often held rapists in the lowest regard, the peak of disdain among female inmates was directed towards women who had killed their husbands. At the bottom of this hierarchy were traffickers and those who had harmed innocent children."Vera" was immediately placed at the bottom.On her first day lining up for food, she felt disdain from the staff and even more so from the other inmates, who were bossy and looked for any excuse to trouble her."Vera" merely swallowed her pride and didn't fight back. Just like that, she had endured such a treatment for two days and two nights.With her interrogation impending and no abnormalities yet, she couldn't contact Damon and began to feel anxious.It wasn’t until the afternoon of the third day that another inmate was brought in. She was a burly woman."What are you in for?" "Vera" overheard someone asking that woman.The newcomer laughed heartily. "Ha! My man was che

On the day Vera died, Nicholas's hospital immediately stopped admitting patients. When asked why, the reason given was that expensive equipment had been damaged and was under investigation. Hence, no one could enter or leave.Leo’s poisoning was not severe, and logically, he did not need to stay in the hospital for long. However, Serena seized the opportunity to show her care by moving into the VIP ward to look after him personally. She had been staying in the hospital ever since.Before the hospital was locked down a few days ago, Celeste had wanted to take Leo home for observation, but he seemed reluctant to leave Serena and Damon. The doctors checked him again, and all his indicators were fine."Sir, please check again. I feel very weak." He held the doctor's hand and requested.The same happened the next day.On the third day, Celeste began to see through his act."Leo, lying is not a good habit," she said, despite often lying with a straight face."I feel unwell." Leo match

"You have no idea that every time he hugs me, he always avoids my injured arm."He can eat by himself, and he doesn't need to be fed. However, I insist on feeding him, and he patiently waits. He just wants to give me a chance to be close to him."His temperament is just like his mother's. Neither is he talkative nor good at sweet-talking/ Still, he knows how to be caring. I dared not think about what both the mother and son went through these years," Serena said, her voice choked with emotion toward the end. Celeste felt a slight tremor in her heart.She was not someone with solid empathy, as she had endured too much suffering herself. She tended to think that everyone had their own lessons to learn from their hardships.Leo was like that too. He was calm and rational.Both she and Leo were people who clearly distinguished between those close to them and others. They would care deeply for the few they cared about and not at all for those they did not.What Selena said about Le

Dana, the burly woman, was forced by several bodyguards to kneel on the floor.Already taught a lesson by the woman disguised as Vera and treated like livestock with her hands and feet bound and thrown into the trunk of a car, she was terrified out of her wits.Liam reached out and lifted the cover from her head.As the woman looked up, she saw Damon sitting in a chair with his legs crossed.His demeanor was noble and icy. His eyes were commanding."Mr. Bishop, spare me, please!" She recognized Damon and began begging for mercy. She knelt in place and dared not to move.Since he was in the open while his enemy was in the dark, Damon had thought that the person sent to kill Vera would be a tough character on par with his men, but he was mistaken.“Jailed for castrating your husband, you say? However, my men tell me that your husband has been behind bars for years.” Damon's voice was indifferent. His voice sounded emotionless to listeners but terrifying to the woman.Had she no

Back then, Celeste had won 100 million dollars from Bryan, using it to leverage him into willingly becoming her spy and helping her topple Titus.Now, Bryan had become the boss of the Leopard Syndicate.Looking back, Celeste’s risky move had inadvertently helped him rise.Of course, he might not see it that way.After all, being outplayed by a woman with simple tactics and being manipulated so easily was hardly flattering for him.It was said that after losing one million dollars to Celeste, Marksville became Bryan’s Achilles' heel. Not only would he avoid the place, but his entire gang was also wary of mentioning going to Marksville for a game of cards.There were no secrets that time would not reveal. Bryan gave up gambling, and other gangs learned why, fearing they might be trapped as well.Gradually, the gambling trend in Taverdale declined over the years.Celeste did not expect her to reform the gangs of Taverdale single-handedly.Dana was from the Leopard Syndicate, but
