Chapter 442 The Exchange

Marcus took the photograph handed to him by Jonathan.

In the picture was a little girl with a round face, fair skin tinged with a rosy glow, and two adorable pigtails. Her eyes were bright as she smiled, her large, round pupils complementing her delicate nose and gently curved lips. She was an exquisitely beautiful child.

And she wasn't a stranger to him. In fact, he knew exactly who she was.

"Mr. Remington, if I help you find your daughter and agree to look after her, you will give me the Poisonous Snowdrop, correct?"

He handed the photo back, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. "I can accept your terms, but I need to see the Poisonous Snowdrop first to verify its authenticity."

"That's not a problem."

Jonathan turned and retrieved an elegant mahogany box behind him. He opened it and pushed it toward Marcus.

Inside the box lay a withered root, its tip adorned with shriveled petals. Marcus counted them. There were exactly 21 petals.

"I need to take a picture and send it to the doctor for confirmation."

"Go ahead. I always thought no one would ever need this thing. After all, it is a highly toxic substance." Jonathan sipped his coffee. It may not look like much, but even a tiny bit of it can kill an elephant. So tell me, Mr. Holden, what exactly do you need the Poisonous Snowdrop for?"

"There's no need for you to concern yourself with that," Marcus replied as he snapped a photo and sent it to Natalie.

A moment later, she responded. "It's the real Poisonous Snowdrop. You must bring it back."

Marcus replied, "Understood."

"Mr. Remington, I know where your daughter is," he said. "I promise that after you and your wife pass away, I will take care of her and ensure she is never mistreated."
