Chapter 264

Just as Kelly was about to quietly pour the snake venom in, a sharp, icy voice rang out behind her.

“Kelly, what do you think you’re doing?”

She flinched, panic flickering in her eyes. But only for a moment. Her composure snapped back into place almost instantly.

Turning around, she wore a look of confused innocence. “I finished grinding the medicine. I was just about to bottle it. Is there a problem?”

“Bottling it?” Sharon stepped forward and yanked the porcelain vial from her hand. Her voice was cold. “Do you even know what’s in this bottle?”

Kelly leaned over, pretending to examine it, then offered a look of mild apology.

“Sorry… I was so focused on grinding the herbs, I didn’t notice.”

Sharon glanced at the liquid inside, her lips curling into a thin, bitter smile.

“Didn’t notice? Or were you thinking of something else entirely? That vial contains freshly extracted venom. Even the smallest mistake could kill someone.”
