Chapter 190 Finally Meeting.

Prudence writhed in agony on the bed, scratching at her body and face with frantic hands. Soon, her skin was covered in angry red scratches, blood trickling down her neck and face. She gasped and growled through gritted teeth, her eyes full of hatred, fixated on the distant figure of Isolde, who was already walking

away.

“You wretch…” She screamed with all the strength she could muster, her voice raw and filled with rage.

The servant, seeing the blood, rushed forward. “Prudence, please, stop scratching, you’re bleeding“”

Prudence forced herself up, only to collapse back down in exhaustion. Her lips were torn open, blood flowing from the corners of her mouth, but the burning itch that consumed her entire body–starting from her feet to her head–could not be relieved. It felt like every inch of her skin was on fire.

The itching, however, wasn’t just discomfort–it was excruciating, especially on her face. The spots where the medicine had spilled were swelling up, and the pain was unbearable, sharp like fire, gnawing into her bones. No matter how hard she scratched, she couldn’t reach the itch, and it drove her close to the edge of madness.

From the main house, faint, tormented growls and shrieks could be heard. The servant hurried to fetch a doctor, who quickly advised a cleansing procedure and prescribed an antidote.

“Increase the dosage… Prudence hissed through clenched teeth, her body trembling with pain. “Keep it going for several more days.”

Meanwhile, in the Pearl Tower, Isolde was preparing herself. She was heading to the Sharp family.

“Isolde, they’ve called a doctor for her, Ryker entered the room, his expression neutral.

“Let them,” Isolde replied, inspecting her exhausted reflection in the copper mirror. “Even if they’ve called a doctor, it won’t matter tomorrow.”

Ryker chuckled darkly. “Indeed. The poison I gave her isn’t so easy to neutralize. Even if they manage to counteract it, she’ll suffer for quite some time–itching down to the bone. It’s pure agony.”

Isolde smirked. “Every day, I want her to suffer. Twelve hours a day with no peace, no relief. But as much as I want her to suffer, I’ll let her live. Just enough to prolong her torment.”

“Honestly, I think it’d be kinder to just kill her,” Ryker said with a shrug.

“Die so easily?” Isolde’s voice was cold as ice, her eyes hardening. “Not after everything we’ve been through. No, we’ll make her suffer as we did, for every wound, for every tear.”

She piled on a heavy layer of powder, covering the fatigue on her face. She didn’t want Garrett and Natasha to see her looking so worn.
