Chapter 1021: The Child Is Healthy

Orion Woodwind abruptly raised his head. "I don't believe you can shatter the Jade Armour."

Tina arched an eyebrow. "The fragments of the Jade Armour are right here in my hand. Do you want to see them for yourself?"

A flicker of hesitation crossed Orion Woodwind's gaze, but he quickly asked, "Where is she?"

Tina, of course, knew who he meant.

She let out a cold laugh, her sharp black-and-white eyes filled with icy ruthlessness. "If she isn't dead, she's probably hiding in some remote mountain forest, nursing her injuries. But without a suitable heart to aid her recovery, she might resort to eating the hearts of animals-or perhaps she wouldn't be so picky."

Orion Woodwind frowned, his voice cold. "That's impossible!"

Tina's tone turned soft and eerie. "If you could attack the Havenhart family to keep your secrets hidden, why wouldn't I strike at someone who's trying to take my life?"

"You!"

Orion Woodwind's eyes widened, his expression betraying his shock. "You've investigated the Havenhart family?"

This was exactly the reaction Tina had been aiming for. "If I'm not mistaken, Kellan Havenhart must have discovered the true purpose of your Swanson family's construction. That's why he met his demise. The so-called illness that consumed him wasn't anything more than a cover for the poison you used."

Realizing he had let his emotions slip, Orion Woodwind fell silent.

Still, his heart was far from calm. He hadn't expected Tina to investigate him so thoroughly.

Having achieved her purpose, Tina didn't linger. She walked out of the room without another word.

Outside the door, Jayden was waiting.

Tina gave him a simple instruction, "Keep an eye on him. Don't let even the smallest movement escape your notice."

She then turned and entered the adjacent secret room, where Jared stood, staring at a monitor.

On the large electronic screen mounted on the wall, Orion Woodwind's figure was displayed.

Hearing her footsteps, Jared turned around. "It's as you suspected. The equipment only reacts when Orion Woodwind hears the names 'Havenhart family' or 'Poppy.""

Tina's cold eyes narrowed slightly.

The bait had been cast. Whether or not it would lure Claudia out depended on how important the Swanson family's secrets were to her.
