At the end of the day, Zoey's main goal was to get that document from her.

Sofie looked at the palm spread out in front of her. With narrowed eyes, she said, “I can give you the document, but you have to save my life.”

Zoey furrowed her brows.

The poison within them could only be neutralized by Kurt. The only bargaining chip to obtain the antidote was the confidential document in the hands of Sofie.

In other words, she must hand over the document to Kurt to get the antidote.

But if she were to hand over the document to that scoundrel, how would she be able to lure Bailey into her trap?

If she couldn't teach Bailey a lesson, wouldn't all she had endured be in vain?

“The poison in your body was meticulously concocted by Kurt. It's not something that just anyone can neutralize. You're asking the impossible.”

Upon hearing this, Sofie gave a mysterious smile and said lightly, “You mentioned that ordinary people couldn't cure it, but what about those who are proficient in the art of poison? For instance, Mr. Yablon or the Poison Lady, Blaze? I believe they should have a way to neutralize this poison, right?”

Zoey gritted her teeth. This woman's will to live sure is strong. Regardless, I have no choice but to follow her instructions and do as she says. Otherwise, I can forget about getting that confidential document.

“All right, it's a deal. Can you hand over the document to me now?”

Sofie shook her head with a smile. “If I hand over the document to you now, it'll be like I'm signing my own death warrant. Do you really think your mother would do something as foolish and ridiculous as this?”

Zoey clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth as she asked, “What else do you want?”

Sofie shrugged leisurely and said, “I know the guards here are all Kurt's dogs. First, figure out a way to rescue me. Let's break free from Kurt's control, and then we can plan for other things. What do you think?”

Zoey fell into deep thought.
