Chapter 671
Sie smiled and turned off the television.
'Are you happy now? Just wait. On the day of your wedding, I will give you a big gift to let you know what it truly feels like to fall from heaven.' Sie thought.
On the other side.
Recently, Vera, Luna, and Atlas, who have been constantly criticized by the public, felt so relieved when they saw this news.
Especially Vera. With a smile on her face, she said, "So even if Sie was back, Joseph would marry someone else."
"Yeah, she used to compete with me for Joseph before, but in the end, she ended up marrying not as well as me." Luna felt quite satisfied.
Atlas’s brow furrowed." You always focus on these trivial matters. The top priority now is to regain control of the Leo Group."
Vera was not convinced. "Don't worry, Leo's health is deteriorating day by day. He definitely doesn't have the energy to manage the Leo Group. At most, he can hold on for another year or so. Once Leo is gone, Sie won't have the chance to win us at all. By then, people would have forgotten about our affair."
Atlas relaxed his furrowed brow. "As long as Leo is dead, there is nothing to fear about Sie, but... can we trust Ethan?"
"There won't be any problem. I have leverage over him, and I have other informants at Leo's mansion. If Ethan is discovered, I will be aware of it."
Vera's eyes flickered away, and just as she finished speaking, her phone suddenly rang.
"Mrs. Vera, I'm Ethan. The medicine you gave me last time ran out."
"So soon?" Vera frowned.
"The medication you have is only a month's supply. Last time when I poured it into the coffee, I was so nervous that I accidentally put in a bit too much. So I just poured it out and made another cup of coffee."
"Tomorrow, let's meet at the usual place."
Vera hung up cautiously.
The next day, Vera put on sunglasses and drove to a warehouse in the suburbs. Soon, Ethan also arrived.
Vera immediately stuffed a package into his hands, saying, "I want Leo to die in six months."
Ethan's hand trembled. "So, do I need to increase the dosage?"
Vera nodded coldly.
Ethan hurriedly grabbed the medicine pack, saying, "Well, then... I'll be going now."
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Vera suddenly grabbed his hand. "We haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
Ethan's face turned ashen. "I really have to go; there's something I need to handle."
"Don't lie to me. Do you think I'm too old?" Vera suddenly approached him, reaching out to his chest. "You used to say I was much better than your wife; she has no sense of humor at all."
"Don't you have Atlas?" Ethan felt like he wanted to die.
"You know, he's a cripple. I prefer mature and handsome guys like you," Vera said as she pinched his face and started adjusting his tie.
Suddenly, the sound of police sirens outside rang out, followed by a group of police officers rushing in, pointing guns at them.
Vera was shocked and quickly let go of Ethan, saying, "What are you doing?"
"Someone reported you for poisoning," the police officer said as he firmly grabbed her wrist.
She was stunned, glaring at Ethan, only to see him already kneeling on the ground, holding his head. "Officers, it was her who made me do it. I was forced, I had no choice..."
Vera was suddenly overwhelmed by fear, realizing that she had been deceived. "No, I don't know what he's talking about. Ethan, why are you accusing me? I brought you here just to ask you something."
"Vera, how long are you going to keep arguing?"
Sie helped Leo down the stairs on the second floor of the warehouse. Leo's eyes were filled with anger, wishing he could devour Vera alive. If Leo hadn't hidden and overheard what Vera had just said, he wouldn't have imagined Vera, whom he had lived with for twenty years, could be so disgusting. "I thought you were just having an affair with Atlas, but I never expected you were also with Ethan..."
Leo was thoroughly disgusted and couldn't continue speaking.
