The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 460 She Took the Medicine Cassie Gave Her

Cassie smiled sweetly at Laura. "Wesley's and Father' lives are in your hands now. They thought locking me in the basement would force me to hand over the antidote? They really underestimated their own daughter and sister." Her tone was laced with amusement.

"If I dared to do this, I obviously prepared for every possible outcome. Father always believed that a daughter should just eat, drink, and enjoy life. But tell me, how am I inferior to Wesley? Why should he inherit Holden Group while I'm expected to play the role of a useless socialite?"

Her eyes darkened. "I refuse to accept that."

Leaning closer, her voice turned ghostly. "But if you obediently drink this, I'll let

them go.

"As for Holden Group-" She let out a chilling laugh. "Once you and Wesley are out of the picture, I have no doubt Father will put it in my hands."

Laura forced herself to sit up, her gaze locked on the black vial in Cassie's hand. "What do you really want, Cassie? Wesley or Holden Group?" Her voice was hoarse, but she didn't waver. "Can I trust your words? If I drink this, will you really let Father and Wesley go?"

Cassie chuckled lazily. "Of course. But honestly, I doubt you'd actually drink something that could very well kill you just to save them.

"Oh, and by the way-this won't kill you. It'll just make you wish you were dead. You won't be human, nor will you be a ghost." She paused before adding with a wicked smirk, "And you still won't be allowed near my dear little nephew. I'll make sure of that.

"Otherwise, I'll ensure he ends up with the same thing inside him that's currently inside you."

Cassie burst into laughter, grabbing the hem of her red wedding dress and twirling in front of Laura. Her dance was flawless, every movement poised and elegant.

Charles had hired the best instructors to teach her since childhood. With her stunning looks, exquisite makeup, and graceful figure, she was undeniably captivating.

But beneath it all, her heart was filled with malice.

At that moment, Laura truly understood what it meant for someone to wear a saint's face but hide a serpent's heart.
