Chapter 1093 Perish Together Even at that point, Chandler was still unwilling to speak.
His entire body ached so intensely that he was on the verge of passing out, yet he gritted his teeth, refusing to let out a sound.
âI didnât expect you to be so tight-lipped!â Violet sneered, her whole being radiating a chilling aura. âIâm curious to see which is stronger, your stubborn silence or your familyâs will to live! Iâm giving you one more chance. If you still refuse to speak, I will make sure your wife, your children, your parents, and all your loved ones perish alongside you! You should know me by now. I always keep my word. Killing a few insignificant people is no big deal for me. Iâm not one to show mercy!â
Upon hearing those words, Chandler immediately became anxious. His eyes widened, and his whole body started shaking like a sieve. Sheâs the Grim Reaper. She has always lived up to her words. If she dares utter such words, sheâll be sure to follow through!
In the end, he couldnât withstand her threats and confessed everything. âI-Iâll speak! I-It was Charles who ordered me to do it!â
âCharles?â
âYes, thatâs right! He bribed me before. He fears getting tortured, so he wanted me to end his life just in case. The potion was given to me by him. He told me to pour it down his throat during the critical moment. Everything Iâve said is true. I didnât deceive you. Heâs the one who made me do it!â
As he spoke, he began to plead.
âI beg you. Iâve confessed everything as per your demands. Please, donât harm my family. I know I canât escape. now, but I hope my family wonât be implicated. I beg youâ¦â
Chad, however, didnât believe him and interrupted his pleas for mercy, âYouâve worked for the Cox family for over a decade. You should be well acquainted with their health conditions. I suspect itâs not as simple as just being bought off by Charles, is it?â
He turned his head to look at the two elders of the Cox family.
âIt would be best if you spare his life for now. Who knows what unspeakable secrets he might be hiding? Weâll need to interrogate him thoroughly later.â
Upon hearing that he was to be interrogated again, Chandler panicked and began to cry out anxiously, âEverything Iâve said is the absolute truth. I swear Iâm not hiding anything. Please, I beg you to believe me!â
However, who would believe the words of a traitor?
After hearing Chadâs words, the two elders didnât even bother to respond. They directly ordered their subordinates to drag Chandler into a room and lock him up. âAlso, send someone to keep his family under control. Monitor their every move discreetly, and donât let them out of your sight.â
âYes!â The subordinate accepted the order and immediately set off to carry it out.
As Chandler was being dragged away, he continued to shout, insisting that every word he said was the truth, but no one paid him any attention.
After his voice had completely faded away, the atmosphere in the corridor remained somewhat oppressive.
The turn of events that day was truly overwhelming, and everyone was still struggling to process it After a good while, the two elders finally spoke apologetically. âWeâre sorry for making you witness such a scene, Mr. Gordon. If it werenât for you and Ms. Garcia today, we canât imagine what would have happened to Mr. Cox.â
Chad waved his hand. âThereâs no need to be so formal with me.â
Neera modestly said, âI am a doctor. This is what I should do.â Then, she continued, âNext, I need to go back and start making the medicine. Iâll have to trouble you all to take care of Mr. Cox. Once Iâve developed the medicine, there will be no more problems. With an additional half a year to a year of rest, Mr. Coxâs health will be fully restored.â
The good news cleared the gloom in the corridor.
The two elders nodded repeatedly and hummed in agreement, looking incredibly excited.
Soon, Neera left with Osbert and the others to go to the research center.
On the road, Osbert couldnât help but sigh. âThe covert and overt conflicts within a prominent family are really something. If one doesnât always stay vigilant, they will fall into anotherâs schemes.â
Luigi still felt a lingering unease when he thought about what had happened in the treatment room.
âYeah, theyâre always threatening peopleâs lives. Itâs hard to live comfortably like that.â
The two exchanged a couple of quips. Then, Osbert glanced at the glass bottle, unable to resist asking out of curiosity, âNeera, whatâs the purpose of this big black bug? Itâs not going to be like what Mr.
Saunders did, turning it into medicine to be consumed, right?â
