Jason’s face instantly darkened.Â

Samuel had promised him before that as long as he got the job done, he’d make Jason number one in Betrico.Â
But what really mattered was the drug Samuel had developed, the one that made people obey his every command.Â
Just then, Samuel turned and clapped Jason on the shoulder. “Jason, you’ve helped me solve a huge problem. Of course, I won’t forget you. I’ve already sent people to deal with the Foster family.”Â
Jason asked urgently, “What about the drug?”Â
Samuel replied bluntly, “I don’t have it right now. You’ll have to wait a while.”Â
Jason didn’t say anything, but he was fuming inside.Â
Samuel came from a prestigious family with a long legacy in medicine, and he’d been working on this stuff for years.Â
There’s no way he doesn’t have it. He just doesn’t want to give it to me,’ Jason thought, irritation simmering inside him.Â
“It’s not that I’m holding out on you,” Samuel said, “but the drug’s all gone. I still need a crucial ingredient, and Nina and Ryan are watching my every move.”Â
Most of the obedience drugs had already been used on Ruby.Â
Too bad Ruby built up a resistance to it, and it took endless tweaking and experiments just to get the formula right.Â
Samuel thought, “The ingredients are tough to find, and now Sarah’s looking for me, too. So, there’s no way I can give the drug to Jason right now!Â
Jason nodded. “No worries, Samuel. Just hand it over when you’ve got it.”Â
ason held back his annoyance.Â
He thought, ‘Let Samuel deal with Nina and Ryan. That’s all that matters right now.”Â
Getting the drug later was no big deal.Â
Who knows, maybe I won’t even need it by then, Jason thought.Â
Samuel promised, “Don’t worry about it. You’re my godson Who che would I give it to if not you?”Â

The look of disgust in Claire’s eyes hit Jason hard. He strode over, grabbed her by the arm, and pulled her back. “You run away every time you see me? Am I really that disgusting to you?”Â
“You make me sick!” Claire snapped, her voice full of loathing. She wouldn’t even spare him a glance.Â
To be honest, Claire had never liked Jason, not even once.Â
He was nothing but a desperate simp, a guy who only knew how to force himself on her.Â
He’d even gone so far as to lock her up in this place!Â
Jason slapped Claire across the face. “I make you sick, huh? So, those beggars are what you like instead?”Â
To Jason, Claire had always been up on a pedestal, pure and flawless.Â
But she actually went and slept with those beggars.Â
If he hadn’t happened to walk by that street and overhear those beggars gossiping, he’d still be clueless.Â
ason thought, ‘Unbelievable, Claire. Had she rather sleep with those beggars than let me be with her? Then what was the point of everything I’ve done for her all these years?Â
Even a dog would at least wag its tail for me. I gave her everything I had, and all she ever did was look down on me. WhyÂ
hould I waste any more of my feelings on her?‘Â
Claire was knocked to the floor by the slap.Â
She looked up at Jason, her eyes cold and vicious, burning with a deadly intent.Â
Those beggars were her pain, and Jason was ripping open her wounds and pouring salt right in.Â
Yeah, you’re even worse than them!” Claire hissed through gritted teeth.Â
ason was absolutely furious.Â
He grabbed Claire and threw her onto the couch.Â
When Claire saw him pulling off his belt, she instinctively tried to run, but he whipped her with it, and she curled up inÂ
Jason yanked her up and pinned her down on the couch.Â
He forced her down in front of the couchÂ

If it were any regular poison, Nina was sure her antidote would clear it right up.Â
But for Scarlet, the longest it ever worked was eight hours.Â

By the time morning rolled around, Scarlet’s body had already gotten used to it. Even if Nina tried again, it wouldn’t lastÂ
more than three hours.Â
And after Nina left the villa and headed to the institute, the antidote stopped working on Scarlet altogether.Â
It couldn’t even work for ten minutes on Scarlet.Â
Nina needed to come up with an antidote as fast as possible, but she hadn’t made any progress at all.Â
Nina stared at the failed antidote she’d just made, her expression serious, not saying a word.Â
When Russell walked in, he could feel the heavy tension in the lab. He shot Nina a cautious look and softly called out, “Ms. Swanson.”Â
Nina snapped out of her thoughts.Â
She stepped aside and said to Russell, “Take a look at this.”Â
Maybe she was just so stressed out and unfocused that she couldn’t make sense of the ingredients in this poison.Â
Russell was always the calm, careful type.Â
Maybe he’d catch something she overlooked.Â
Russell trusted Nina completely. He walked over, glanced at the data on the monitor, and was taken aback for a moment.Â
This poison looks really familiar,‘ Russell thought.Â
He picked up the half–finished sample Nina had made, sniffed it, and said right away. “This is ‘Sorrow.”Â
Nina was stunned. “You’ve actually seen this before?”Â
This was her first real encounter with this poison. She’d only ever read about it in old medical texts, and she’d never even brought it up to Russell.Â
This poison has been in my family for generations, Ms. Swanson. Are you working on an antidote for Sorrow? RussellÂ
asked.Â
Nina grabbed Russell’s wrist. “Your family has a history with it? Do you have the antslote?”Â
Russell shook ins head. I don’t have the antidote, but I know how to make itÂ
Russell pulled out his phone, tapped into a folder, and pulled up a documentÂ

came from the same roots, and we’ve always been healers.Â
“Our ancestors were the ones who finally figured out how to cure this poison.Â

“But before they could save many folks, the boss of Tanner Fortress dropped dead out of nowhere, and a new leader took over. After that, nobody ever used that poison again.Â
The recipe for the antidote got split up, half with the Swanson family, half with the Jefferson family. But later on, our ancestors managed to crack it themselves and came up with a new antidote.”Â
These photos showed exactly how to make the antidote.Â
Funny thing was, the Jefferson family actually knew the secret ingredient for the cure: Goldenroot.Â
