Chapter 931 Fragrance Journal Saves Eunice

Eunice opened her mouth, ready to say something.

However, Catherine didn't give her a chance to speak. With a swift move, she charged directly toward Eunice, exuding an aura of dominance and decisiveness.

As she swiftly moved forward, a refreshing floral fragrance began to envelop her.

As one of the world's leading perfumers, she had the ability to swiftly extract the petals around her and concoct a lethal flower pollen.

She could kill someone without a trace.

The color drained completely from Eunice's face.

She hadn't expected that Catherine's move would be a killing blow, swift, ruthless, and accurate, leaving no room for escape.

It was already too late by the time she fully realized what was happening and thought to use the surrounding petals to create flower pollen for defense.

Eunice's body was sent flying by a sudden shockwave, then slammed into the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

She has been poisoned by flower poison.

The floral poison was so strong and overpowering that it left Eunice completely immobilized.

Catherine stepped over a carpet of flower petals to approach her. Once she stood firm in front of Eunice, she looked down at her condescendingly and sneered, “Is this all you're capable of? That's right. Without resorting to underhanded tactics, you wouldn't even stand a chance of battling me. Eunice, I never wanted to kill you, but you've repeatedly crossed my line. Thus, I have no choice but to send you to hell.”

Having said that, she once again gathered a cluster of flower pollen, ready to pat it onto Eunice's body.

Just at that critical moment, the communicator on Catherine's wrist suddenly rang.

Glancing down, it was a call from the Rogers residence.

Eunice was on the brink of death, so those old folks at home were getting restless.

In truth, Eunice's art of perfumery was unparalleled among the younger generation. However, when faced with the extraordinary existence of Catherine, she was destined to be overshadowed.

Indeed, the Rogers family was unwilling to lose such a top-notch talent, so they compromised at the last moment and made a phone call to Catherine.

With a cold glance at Eunice, who was lying on the ground coughing up blood, Catherine then pressed the answer button.

In the next moment, an anxious voice came through the speaker.

“Catherine, please don't kill Eunice. Our family has finally nurtured a top-notch perfumer. She can't just die like this. Don't you want to save your daughter? The Fragrance Journal should contain a method to deal with the parasite king. Release Eunice, and we agree to let you open the forbidden area.”

Catherine squinted slightly, looking at the clump of flower pollen in her hand, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

The terms proposed by that group of old folks were indeed enticing, so she was somewhat tempted.

The elder on the other end of the line grew more anxious when he noticed Catherine's silence. He said in a deep voice, “If you dare to kill Eunice, we will immediately destroy the Fragrance Manual. Catherine, you surely wouldn't want to stand by and watch as your daughter is devoured by the parasite king. Hence, don't act recklessly.”

Catherine laughed softly. “So, you've known all along that the method to undo the parasite king's curse is in the Fragrance Journal, but you've kept it to yourselves. My daughter is still so young, yet you all just stood by and watched her suffer. Well done. You've really outdone yourselves. All right. I promise you I will spare Eunice's life. In three days, I will bring her back to the Rogers family. You better have the Fragrance Journal ready for the exchange. Remember, don't try any tricks. Otherwise, Eunice will die, and the Luther family will wipe out the Rogers family.”

The elder's roar came through the phone. “You unfilial girl! What are you trying to do? Are you planning to join forces with outsiders to sever—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Catherine directly ended the call.

At that moment, everyone hiding in the shadows hurried over.

Simon looked at Eunice lying motionless on the ground, his brows furrowed as he asked, “You're not planning to kill her?”

Catherine said casually, “Just now, an old geezer called me, offering to trade the Fragrance Journal for her unworthy life. I agreed.”

Simon rolled his eyes, a glint of sharpness flashing through his gaze.

In the next moment, he became incredibly excited. “Are you planning to trade her for the Fragrance Journal? Does this mean you no longer need to succeed as the head of the Rogers family?”

Catherine furrowed her brows. In theory, that's how it is. But does this idiot really need to be this overjoyed?

“Having her is enough. Those old geezers wouldn't dare not to give me the journal,” Catherine said.

As soon as she finished her sentence, Simon laughed out loud. He then swept Catherine into his arms and planted a kiss on her face. “My dear, I can marry you now.”

Catherine's expression suddenly turned unpleasant, her gaze falling on the clump of flower pollen in her hand. I should stuff this thing into his mouth, and he'll be silent for the rest of his life.

However, looking at his face, similar to her daughter's, her arm felt as if it was filled with lead, impossible to lift.

“Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise? Just in time to catch Uncle Simon teasing Aunt Catherine. What a spectacle!”

The casual tone of Zayron's voice resonated, making the atmosphere in the room even more intense.

With a blush spreading across her charming face, she lifted her foot and stomped hard on the top of Simon's foot.

Simon let out a yelp, then doubled over, clutching his foot and wailing in pain.
