Chapter 35: What are you then?

Elizabeth immediately sought Tina and Jared, but their figures were nowhere to be found. Her brows knitted tightly together. The drug that was supposed to be administered to Tina had somehow ended up affecting Talon. The room that should have been the site of Tina and Jared's indiscretions now hosted Talon and his nanny. Elizabeth had lived a long life and seen many things, and she quickly suspected that this was Tina's doing.

"That despicable girl!" Elizabeth gritted her teeth with rage.

"Grandmother, let's not get angry yet. We need to smooth this over first!" Amber was also furious inside. She didn't know how Tina had discovered the drugged drink. She was even more puzzled about how her homemade drug had ended up affecting Talon, but she wasn't in the mood to think about that now. She just wanted to resolve the situation at hand.

Elizabeth also realized that now was not the time to delve into these matters. She looked at the crowd of guests, who were enjoying the spectacle, feeling that her face had been thoroughly lost today. She said to Amber, "Since the drug was your concoction, you give Talon the antidote first."

Amber nodded, in agreement with this plan. She called over two security guards to pull Talon down and then, pretending to examine his condition, discreetly administered the antidote when no one was looking. But to everyone's surprise, Talon continued as before, as if the antidote hadn't worked at all.

Amber's brow furrowed instantly. What was going on? Why was her antidote completely ineffective? She remembered that Tina had studied medicine. Could it have been Tina who drugged him? How could that be? Tina was just a village girl from Serenity Ridge. Even if she had learned some medicine, she was nothing but a half-baked practitioner. The cure for Sophia must have been a fluke. It couldn't have been her with such a potent drug. Could it be Jared? Yes, it must be him. He was a cripple, unable to get a wife, so he wanted to use a drug to coerce Tina, but it had mistakenly ended up affecting Talon.

Elizabeth also saw that the antidote didn't work on Talon. He seemed more energetic than ever, and his strength seemed greater than before. He pushed the security guards away and lunged back at the nanny. Indescribable scenes ensued once more.

Even the onlooking guests started to feel embarrassed. Could Talon really be so capable?

Elizabeth's face turned as black as coal, and she looked at Amber questioningly.

Amber's eyes narrowed and she stood up, saying in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "Grandmother, Uncle Talon has been drugged."
