Yvonne was speechless.
She cried out in disbelief. âAh!â
Then her hand shook and the needle fell on the bed.
Her lips quivered. âJo⦠Joel, what⦠what are you doing?â
Joel looked at her with deep eyes. âI should be the one asking you this, what are you doing?â
Yvonne bit her lips and refused to speak. âI was worried about Dad, so I came to see him.â
âIs that so?â
Joel lowered his head and looked at the needle on the bed. âWhatâs this?â
Yvonne swallowed spit and stammered, âVitamin.â
âTsk, why didnât I know this was vitamin?â
Suddenly, another deep voice sounded, causing Yvonne to turn her head and see Nora approaching.
She picked up the syringe from the bed and sniffed it. After studying it carefully, she came to a conclusion. âThis is potassium cyanide. As little as 0.1 grams injected into a personâs bodyâ¦would kill them in thirty seconds.â
Yvonne stared at the needle and said in shock, âThis, this is not, donât talk nonsenseâ¦â
âReally?â
Nora handed her the syringe. âThereâs still some residue here. If itâs vitamins, eat them and Iâll believe you.â
Yvonne: â!â
She took the syringe with trembling fingers and stared at the liquid inside.
Of course, she knew better what was inside!
Potassium cyanide was a medicine for euthanasia.
Her hands trembled, but she didnât dare to actually drink it. She threw the syringe on the floor. âWhy should I drink it? I wonât. I refuse.â
Yvonne immediately shouted, âYou are slandering me! I didnât want to poison daddy.â

Is it because you didnât treat dad at all, so you deliberately said he would wake up tomorrow and forced me to do it? This way, it wonât show that your medical skills are bad. Nora, you are really sinister and cunning!â
Nora heard her and lifted the blanket off Ianâs arm.
The drip bottle wasnât even attached to her hand!
Yvonne was stunned.
Nora smiled. âIndeed, he wonât wake up tomorrow.Do you think heâll wake up immediately after the operation when his brain disease is so severe? He will have to rest for at least a week. However, he couldnât wait another week.â
What couldnât wait?
Just as Yvonne was hesitating, Joel added, âThe matter of you manipulating Florence to poison Old Maddy cannot be resolved even if Florence sues you and makes a confession. As long as you refuse to admit it, there will be no proof. We canât convict you for instigating someone to murder, so we have thought of this method.â
By the time Nora had left the operating room, Yvonne had nervously asked when Ian would wake up. Joel had looked at Nora.
Nora immediately said that Ian would wake up tomorrow.
This only gave Yvonne a day to make a move.
When Yvonne heard that, she took a step back and looked at the two in disbelief. âDespicable! Youâre too despicable!!!! In fact, youâve conspired against me!â
Joel narrowed his eyes. âThis is a trap, but we didnât force you in. Before tonight, I thought that if you didnât come, you would still have some conscience. Then, I would have given you a decent dowry and married you off since youâre the Smithsâ eldest daughter. But apparently, I still had a soft heart.â
Yvonne cried out in surprise, âAre you too soft? Youâve always been the most caring and firm. I donât need to expend much effort to please my other siblings, but what about you? Iâve tried hard, but I canât get you to treat me any better! I know youâve never treated me like family.â
Joel looked at her.
Actually, Yvonne was right.
He was a cold person by nature. There werenât many people he cared about.
Ian was one of them.
Mia was one of them.
Tanya, from many years ago, was one of them.
She could barely count the Smith cousins, but Yvonne had never been in her heart.
Joel ignored her and said to those outside, âCome in.â
The bodyguards came in.
Joel pointed to Yvonne. âTake her away and send her to the police station tomorrow.â
The words âpolice stationâ made Yvonneâs body shudder.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Joel in disbelief. âYou⦠Youâre going to send me to the police station? If so, the Smithsâ affair will spread! This whole thing is a scandal.â
Hearing this, Joel nodded. âYouâre right. The police will charge you at best with attempted murder. Theyâll sentence you to life in prison. If youâre more sensible inside, your life wonât be so bad.â
The words âlife imprisonmentâ made Yvonne flinch.
Joel suddenly turned to look at Nora. âNora, tell me. what should we do?â
Was he ceding his execution rights to Nora?
Nora probably hated her guts.
Yvonne panicked. âJoel, big brother! You canât do this. We are brothers after all. Please give me an out.â
Joel looked down. âA way out? Itâs not impossible. Iâll help you calm this matter down, but you have to listen to me and obediently marryâ¦â
Yes, he would marry whomever he wanted!
Yvonne nodded immediately. âI will listen to you!â
However, Nora could hear another meaning to his words.
Whoever she married, she had to listen to Joelâs arrangements. From Joelâs words, she could hear a murderous intent.
The man Joel wanted her to marry would definitely not be a good person.
He lowered his eyes and suddenly said, âSend her to the police station!â
These words stunned Joel. âAre you willing to let her go free?â
Yvonne was also anxious. âNora, youâre so mean!â
She slowly turned to Joel, stunned.
Yvonne asked in confusion, âJoel, what do you mean, set me free?â
Joel lowered his eyes. âI was originally planning on marrying you to Jason.â
Jasonâ¦
Hearing this name, Yvonne shuddered.
This person had violent tendencies. He had married two wives and both had been beaten to death. Being from a wealthy family, he had spent money to suppress the affair.
However, the domestic violence would not change. If she married him, there would be only one outcome: beaten to death!
Yvonneâs legs went soft and she fell to the ground.
How could she forget him?
Joel was a smiling tiger. Although he always had a smile on his face and his eyes were laughing, his heart was actually the most ruthless.
Suddenly he cried out, âHypocrite! The Smiths are all hypocrites! Ian! He adopted me but didnât take good care of me! He never gave me parental love. Youâre no better, you never treated me like your real sister! Was I wrong? I wasnât wrong! Because if I didnât plot, no one would think of me!â
