Agatha resorted to both coercion and temptation, refusing to give up until she got what she wanted.

Charmaine couldn't help but wonder, Back when Agatha was on her deathbed, had she used the same tactics to force doctors into administering aggressive treatments just to prolong her life?

Maybe that was why she firmly believed there was always a way to defy the laws of nature, to force her failing, depleted body to live far beyond its limits.

Once again, Charmaine stated, "I really can't cure your illness."

Agatha's face darkened.

She had said so much, yet Charmaine remained unmoved. Her initial approach of reasoning and pleading had failed, and in an instant, Agatha's mask of politeness fell away, revealing an obsessive, near-manic determination. Gone was the woman who had been trying to win Charmaine over with words; in her place was someone ruthless and sinister, her true nature laid bare.

Listen to me-if I was able to secure the title sponsorship for this show, I can just as easily ruin you! When that happens, your esteemed mentor won't be spared either-he'll be dragged down with you and publicly condemned!"

She knew Agatha was trying to provoke her. She also knew that both Agatha and Freya were the kind of people who would do anything to get their way.

Agatha's threats didn't scare her, but she absolutely could not allow Basil's name to be tarnished.
