Chapter 592


    The security camera footage was ying back the ndestine visit of Dracon and Diana to the high-


    security prison to see Flynn.


    "Flynn, cut the crap and spill it – where''s the F-Poison? And Sasha, what the hell happened back


    then?" Dracon''s face was a mask of fury as he red at Flynn. To an outsider, it might look like his own


    sister had been kidnapped.


    Flynn regarded Diana and Dracon with a detached coolness. His icy gaze was tinged with a hint of


    mockery.


    "Are you a Linter?" Flynn asked, his voice frosty.


    Dracon snorted. "d you know. You better cooperate, or you''re in for a world of hurt!"


    Flynn suddenly burst intoughter. "Oh, you must be Dracon Linter, the family''s ck sheep. I


    always wondered what sort of failure Yorick could produce. Seeing you today, it''s clear the rumors are


    true. Are you even his biological son?"


    "What''s that supposed to mean!" Dracon bristled. Thest thing he wanted was to bepared to the


    other high-achieving Linter kids.

    Everyone knew the Linters did not tolerate dead weight, yet somehow, they ended up with Dracon.


    From childhood, hecked the talents of his brothers, and eventually, even his younger sister


    surpassed him. Left with no other choice, Yorick kept him close by.


    Now, while the rest of the Linters shone in their respective fields, Dracon was still the quintessential


    adult child living at home, serving at his father''s beck and call.


    Flynn, lounging in his chair, idly picked at his ear. "You two are quite the pair – a washout and an


    adopted daughter, both outcasts."


    A sh of anger crossed Diana''s eyes. Flynn was trapped in his own little hell, tormented by sickness


    daily, yet he dared to mock her.


    "Stop trying to stir the pot. I want to know if you''re the one who tried to poison Vivienne and frame me


    for it. She drank juice I made by hand, and then she was poisoned. Luckily, someone noticed and


    saved her in time. Was it your doing?"


    Flynn''s facade cracked momentarily at Diana''s words, but he quickly regained hisposure.


    With a sardonic smile, he replied, "I''m locked up in here, waiting on your schedules to grace me with a


    visit. Why would I frame you? Or was it your own botched attempt at murder, little Miss Ipetent?"


    "Flynn!" Diana was inches from charging in to throw punches.


    Fortunately,mon sense prevailed, and she held back. She knew all too well that with her modest


    skills, even if Flynn were bound hand and foot, she could not touch him.


    Dracon stepped in to shield her. "Where''s F-Poison? Dead or alive? What did you do to Sasha?"


    Flynn yawned, clearly bored. "Is anyone there? Show these guests out!"


    "You sure you won''t say a word?" Diana''s eyes narrowed as she stared at Flynn.


    She was aware that every visit to Flynn was a channel for him tomunicate with F-Poison, though it


    was all in code she never understood.


    But this time, Flynn remained silent.


    Flynn''s gaze hardened. "I said, show them out!"


    Fuming, Diana stormed out, and Dracon promptly followed, not bothering to stay any longer.


    Percival shut off the video, his deep-set eyes reflecting a glint of confusion.


    Was Diana trying to clear her name?


    Vivienne finished adjusting the design of a bracelet and set down her pen. "Mr. Wolf, I think it''s best just


    to watch and wait."


    Percival snapped out of his thoughts, caressing Vivienne''s cheek gently. "Yeah, you''re right."


    Vivienne said no more but pointed to the finished bracelet design and asked Percival, "Does this look


    good?"


    He nodded. "Yeah, it''s way better than those shoes."


    Vivienneughed, sending the design off to Draven with orders to have itpleted before Natalia''s


    and Yasmine''s birthdays.


    On the day of the celebration, Vivienne''s gift boxes contained two exquisite jade bracelets crafted from


    the finest nephrite jade.


    The Perez family did not have many kins in Rivenwood, and they kept their business gatherings


    intimate, so the guest list was not extensive.


    However, those who did attend were all movers and shakers.


    Richard made an early appearance, having received a generous gift from the Perez family at a


    previous banquet and eager to renew his chess rivalry with Jasper.


    Cecilia and Zelda sat together, earnestly discussing how to bake a cake despite their limited culinary


    expertise.


    Nathan, Yuri, and Maddox engaged in a lively discussion about stocks and business, never short on


    conversation.


    When Vivienne and Percival arrived, they coincidentally ran into Diana and Dracon getting out of their


    car.


    Diana greeted Vivienne with warmth, linking arms. "Vivienne, what a coincidence! Let''s head in


    together."


    Vivienne merely nced at her coolly before turning to go inside, with Dracon and Percival trailing


    behind in silence.


    "Father, look, I brought Vivienne with me." Diana feigned closeness with Vivienne, hoping to prove her


    innocence regarding the recent poisoning incident.


    Vivienne saw through her petty ploy, merely curling her lips in response without saying much.


    "Grandpa," Vivienne greeted, smoothly extracting her hand from Diana''s grip. "Grandpa, is Finnian


    here yet?"


    Jasper let out a snort. "That old geezer still has the nerve to show up? He dropped off the gifts early


    this morning, sneaking them at the bedside of Natalia and Yasmine without showing his face."


    Vivienne could not help butugh, "He''s afraid to face you."


    "He could never beat me in the past, and look at you now, kid, still pulling fast ones!" Jasper tapped


    Richard on the back of his hand.


    Richard, a decade Jasper''s junior, might be old too, but in Jasper''s presence, he was still the kid!


    "Acting spry is still better than your cheap tricks!"


    "Acting spry is shameful!"


    The two old-timers were at it again, in their third round of bickering for the day.


    Just like a couple of children.


    Vivienne decided to let them be, knowing they would settle down soon enough. She grabbed the gifts


    and went off to find Natalia and Yasmine.


    Diana stood off to the side like part of the furniture, ignored by everyone. Updated at Dr?manovеls.cоm


    Watching Vivienne chat with Natalia and Yasmine as if she wereing home, Diana''s heart was


    boiling with resentment.


    Even when Wi, who was usually as cold as ice, showed up, Natalia and Yasmine were over the


    moon, following her around and calling her "Auntie Wi."


    But with Diana, they remained distant.


    Seeing Vivienne''s closeness with the kids now only fueled Diana''s jealousy further.


    "Diana, what are you staring at?" Dracon came over, casually draping an arm around Diana''s


    shoulders.


    Diana did not pull away; instead, she let out a whimper of self-pity, "It''s nothing, Dracon. Let''s go over


    there."
