    “Sophia asked about the prescription a few days back,” the pharmacist stammered. “I didn’t give it


    to her, but maybe she caught a glimpse while I wasn’t looking.”


    Sophia had indeed inquired about the prescription. Worried Ada might tamper with it, she’d


    specifically told him to keep it secure. “I brushed her off and went to mix the medicine,” he


    continued. “Didn’t tell her the whole form, but I left the paper on the table. Must’ve snuck a


    peck.”


    Jason’s fists clenched. Why would she want the form? Was she nning to find someone to


    cook up an antidote, one that could counteract the potion and silently endanger Alison? “Anyone


    else ask about it?”


    The pharmacist shook his head rapidly. “No one, sir. After she left, I burned that paper. It was my


    fault, Mr. Wilson, please


    Before he could finish, Jason cut him off with a hand gesture to Aaron. “Get him out of here. Never


    want to see him on the Wilson payroll


    again.”


    The pharmacist started to fight back. The Wilson Group paid triple what he could get elsewhere.


    “Mr. Wilson, I messed up, please give me another chance!”


    Seeing Jason’s rising anger, Aaron didn’t waste time. He shoved a handkerchief into the man’s


    mouth and drag him out.


    Just then, Cam stormed in. “Where are you taking him?” Aaron flinched and said firmly, “Mr.


    Wilson said to throw him out.”


    Cam marched to the window, ring at Sophia kneeling on the steps, Rain hammered down on


    her mercilessly. “Trying to silence everyone who knows the truth? Letting her get away with it,


    Jason? Sheltering her like this… dishonoring Alison’s upbringing, wouldn’t you say?”


    Jason rubbed his temples, trying to exin. “Not sheltering her. Aaron’s throwing him out because


    he neglected his duties. Doesn’t deserve the Wilson sry.”


    Cam’s frown softened slightly, but her gaze flicked back to Sophia, triggering a fresh wave of


    animosity. This was the perfect chance to get rid of her, and she wasn’t letting it slip away. “Hold off


    on kicking him out until the charges against that vicious woman are confirmed.”


    Thirty minutes in the icy rain was Sophia’s breaking point. The bone–chilling cold seeped into her


    bones, wreaking havoc on her already exhausted body. Every inch of her, from chest to stomach to


    krices, throbbed like someone was scraping her with a thousand knives. Despite her willpower, it


    was unbearable torture. Dizziness and suffocation overwhelmed her, and she could no longer


    support her body. Copsing onto her side, crimson blood dribbled from the corner of her mouth,


    staining the puddle beneath her.


    Why was she kneeling here? Not because of their coercion, but atonement. Alison had suffered


    unjustly because of her, and she needed to repent. Not many had shown her warmth in this world,


    and she cherished them deeply. Unable to take Alison’s ce in suffering, all she could do was


    kneel silently. Even if it alleviated a tiny fraction of her guilt, it would be worth it.


    A harsh cough echoed through the rain. With each one, a trace of blood seeped out, a faint metallic


    scent filling the air.


    Inside, Jason watched helplessly as the woman outside crumpled to the ground. A sudden tightness


    gripped his chest, a suffocating feeling tearing at his heart and lungs. Instinctively, he tumed to


    head out.


    Cam’s voice cut through the air. “Hold it right there! That woman’s a good actress, don’t let her


    fool you. It’s only been half an hour, we haven’t touched her. This is just her way of ying the


    victim.”

    Ignoring her, Jason took a few steps forward. Aaron rushed in with a file. “Mr. Wilson, the


    investigation results are in. Jason had a private investigator team. Half an hour ago, he’d tasked


    them with tracking Sophia’s movements over the past few days. Grabbing the file from Aaron, he


    scanned the contents. His face darkened with each passing sentence. It really was herl


    Cam snatched the file and after a single nce, cursed. “That vicious bitch! Forget everything


    else, throw her straight into jaill” Jason stood by the window, lips pressed together, his gaze fixed


    on Sophia lying outside. Despite the distance and the approaching night, he missed the blood


    staining the rainwater beneath her.

    “What are you waiting for? Send her to prison already!” Cam urged impatiently.
