Chapter 180: Poached for Profit

“That’s not all,” Olivia said, looking at me with a sickening combination of sadness and concern on her face that only filled me with dread.

I had already just read that a woman — who was likely Ethan’s mother, judging from the information in the newspaper article — had died under mysterious circumstances around the Morgan family. Not only that, but I had discovered that it was very likely that Edrick had taken my wolf tooth and a lock of my hair to a witch, and he was now putting some sort of potion in my morning coffee.

I couldn’t fathom why he would want to do that, but now that I had read the newspaper article about Ethan’s mother, I was beginning to wonder if that poor woman had met a fate that I was bound to meet if I continued being poisoned.

And now, before I could even process all of this, Olivia was saying that she had something else to reveal to me, as though there was even possibly anything else that could add another layer to this twisted mess.

“W-What else is there?” I whispered, my voice shaking just as much as my hands.

Olivia, with a sigh, reached into her purse again and retrieved something else. It was another folded piece of paper. She hesitated with it in her hands, then looked up at me. “Can I see the tooth again?” she asked.

I could see a soft, gentle expression on her pretty face. “That was how I felt, too,” she said quietly. “For months, I had no idea what to think or who to trust. But you can trust me. And
