The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

The moment Grant's words fell, Clarice caught the sound of ominous footsteps behind her, like the hiss of a venomous snake slithering through the dark, its tongue flicking coldly in the air.

"Miss Amaryllis, it's been a while."

Clarice whipped around, her eyes wide with shock.

"It's you... Elio Valen?!"

"Oh, you still remember my name." Elio smirked as he brushed past her, heading straight toward Grant's wheelchair. "Now, I'm one of Mr. Salvador's people. I follow only his orders."

Grant lifted the teacup and took a slow sip. "Our team has grown stronger. Isn't that wonderful?"

Clarice stood frozen for a moment, then something clicked. Her eyes widened. "Sir, was Arnold the genius doctor who developed the drug?!"

Grant's smile widened in satisfaction. "Not bad. You're still as sharp as ever."

Elio could not have appeared at a better time.

Clarice steadied herself and stepped forward, her gaze locked onto Elio's cold, stern face. "So, what's the plan?"
