Chapter 474


    “Of course you will, Boss. Let’s just take your medicine first.” Jared stood up and poured a ss of


    warm water for Ashlyn.


    After taking the ss of water, she took two sips and swallowed a ck pill.


    The ck pill only served to ease her mind. It waspletely ineffective.


    A vicious gaze shed across her eyes. If that’s the case, I should just do something that I’ve wanted to


    do the most.


    At Whind Vi, Lucas spotted Spencer standing beside the bed when he opened his eyes.


    When Spencer felt Lucas’ sharp gaze on him, his heart skipped a beat. “Mr. Nn, you’re awake.”


    “How long have I slept for?” Lucas sat up and massaged his forehead. What a vicious woman. Her


    tranquilizer is so strong that I’m still feeling a bit ufortable.


    The ck shirt that he was wearing had two buttons unbuttoned, revealing his sexy corbones. Paired


    with his disheveled hair, he exuded a wild and untamed aura.


    “You’ve slept for four hours,” replied Spencer quickly. “It’s already midnight.”


    Lucas’ hoarse voice sounded slightly cold. “Where’s Ashlyn?”


    “Ms. Berry… She…” Spencer nced at Lucas briefly before grabbing a file on the bedside table and


    passing it to him. “Mr. Nn, you should take a look at this first.”


    Lucas did not respond. Taking the file, he flipped to the first page.


    When he took a closer look at what was written on it, his sharp eyes narrowed. A cold and furious look


    appeared on his face. “What is this? Are you saying that Ashlyn has been poisoned by the Backtrack


    poison?”


    Spencer nodded. “Yes. Lilian’s body was coated with this poison. Its effects are extremely powerful. It


    can infect others simply through touch. The consequences of the infection are horrendous. The poison


    will erode the brain slowly, gradually causing the victims to lose all brain functions. In the end, the


    victims would be unable to take care of themselves. Their bodies will weaken, and they’ll gradually die,


    while all body functions will degenerate. Ms. Berry… seems a bit strange recently.”


    Spencer nodded. “Yes. Lilian’s body was coated with this poison. Its effects are extremely powerful. It


    can infect others simply through touch. The consequences of the infection are horrendous. The poison

    while all body functions will degenerate. Ms. Berry… seems a bit strange recently.”


    She’s not just strange—she’s acting extremely out of the norm!


    When Lucas thought of how Ashlyn refused to be intimate with him, how she kept wearing transparent


    gloves… and how she escaped after knocking him out with the tranquilizer…


    Damn it!


    He was now certain that Ashlyn had been poisoned.


    “Prepare the car. We’re going to Bayview Vi.” Lucas tossed the nket aside, exuding an extremely


    vicious aura.


    The next morning was extremely cloudy. Dark clouds loomed over the sky as if a thunderstorm were


    going to ur anytime soon. A suppressive atmosphere filled the air.


    In the Fraser family’s dining room, Charlotte looked at L, who was wearing a silver suit.


    Normally, he would wear the iconic blue firefighter uniform. However, he was wearing a suit now.


    The tailor-made suit fitted nicely over the man’s lean body, making him look dignified and impressive.


    “Uncle L… what’s up with you today?” Charlotte’s blinked as she stared at him with her bright


    eyes.


    An embarrassed look appeared on L’s face. When confronted with her clear eyes, he could not


    utter a single lie.


    He sat down opposite Charlotte and took a sip of his coffee. After calming himself down, he exined,


    “I need to go out for something.”


    “Oh, is it something important?” Charlotte looked extremely yful and teasing. “Uncle L, you


    look really handsome wearing this!”

    L merely smirked and did not say anything.


    After breakfast, he drove away.


    Pouting, Charlotte looked at the butler. “Do you know what Uncle L’s doing? Why is he acting so


    mysterious?”


    The butler coughed lightly. Naturally, he did not dare to gossip about his employer’s affairs in private. “I


    don’t know. Maybe there are some matters to settle.”


    With that, he went to buy groceries with the maids in charge of the kitchen.


    The house immediately became very empty.


    Charlotte was about to leave and go upstairs when she heard the sound of footstepsing from the


    living room. Thinking that L had forgotten to bring something, she smiled and turned her head


    around. “Uncle L, did you…”
