Chapter 280

Although Olivia had asked someone to bring Evelyn back, she did not really intend to see Evelyn.

Olivia thought to herself, “She’s just a mistress. Just because she says she wants to meet me, so I have to meet her, huh? No way!”

Olivia was not someone who was easily influenced.

At this moment, she was sitting at her desk reading an ancient book passed down from the Smith family.

These ancient texts were not published in the mainstream. They were all handwritten copies, and they were hidden in the Smith family’s old residence in Layfield.

There were many wonderful medical methods recorded in the ancient book. They seemed incredibly unbelievable. These methods appeared more like techniques of divine beings than conventional medical practices.

Other than that, some long–lost ancient prescriptions were also recorded.

On the page Olivia was currently reading, there was a prescription called “Subtle Essence.”

The specific prescription had already been lost, and only the medicinal effects were recorded.

Subtle Essence could make people who consumed it experience intense emotions and heightened sensitivity. It could also amplify their inner feelings.

It could cause lovers to love more, haters to hate more, those in pain to feel more pain, and those who were angry to become angrier.

This prescription was quite intriguing.

Olivia’s delicate fingertips tapped on the book. Then, as if she had thought of something, she took out her phone and called Tyson. “Where is Evelyn?” she said. “I want to see her.”

The symptoms of Amelia and David were very similar to those caused by Subtle Essence, but Olivia was not entirely sure.

After all, this prescription had been lost for many years. Even if it still existed in the world, it should be in the hands of prominent families. It could not be in the hands of a mistress like Evelyn.

Soon, Olivia saw Evelyn.

In an interrogation room, Evelyn sat on the chair. Her hands were securely bound on both sides, rendering her unable to move.

She kept her head lowered. Her hair was disheveled, and deep wrinkles appeared on her once flawless and delicate face.

Her eyes were closed, and she appeared very weary.

Olivia knew that Evelyn had been repeatedly interrogated by psychologists and criminal investigation experts. Although physically unharmed, her mental state had suffered significant torment.

The fact that she had endured until now and remained calm showcased her strong mental resilience.

Sensing that someone had entered, Evelyn raised her head. When she saw Olivia, her previously half–open eyes widened completely.
