    Chapter 1299 Blood Rose’s Aplice


    Blood Rose didn''t strike anymore and stared coldly at the old woman shuffling toward her with interest.


    However, Jewel didn''t continue stopping the woman anymore. While she was worried that the old


    woman might be hurt by Blood Rose, she also suspected that the old woman might be in cahoots with


    Blood Rose. She didn''t move at all, feeling conflicted.


    Blood Rose clutched herself andughed meaningfully. "Aren''t you kindhearted? Why don''t you save


    everyone? Is a child''s life worthy but not an old woman''s?"


    She abruptly reached out to grab the old woman.


    Jewel became shocked. They probably weren''t working together after all.


    Alex had the same thought as Jewel and rushed toward Blood Rose almost instinctively when he saw


    Blood Rose grab the old woman mercilessly.


    Jewel took several steps to reach the old woman and asked Blood Rose angrily, "Are you even


    human?"


    Blood Rose was busy taking on Alex and didn''t say anything, though victory shed across her eyes.


    Jewel was ignorant of this and immediately consoled the old woman when she saw thetter turn pale


    with shock and pat her chest continuously. "It''s okay. Just go inside the washroom and hide for a


    while."


    The old woman was obedient and muttered, "What are you doing?"


    As she spoke, she moved with difficulty and turned around.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Just as Jewel had lowered her guard against the old woman and was looking anxiously at Alex, the old


    woman suddenly drew a dagger and stabbed it toward her.


    It was far toote by the time Jewel had noticed it, but with the child in her embrace, she could only


    protect the child by hugging him tighter instinctively. The dagger went into her back, but thankfully, she


    had moved backward slightly by then, so the injury didn''t seem that deep, though the sharp pain did


    make her stumble.


    Olivia and Eugene, who had been sitting in front of theputer, were so shocked that they couldn''t


    breathe, fearing that the sounds might affect Jewel''s reactions. Blood Rose was simply despicable; not


    only had she disguised herself but also used such a small child for her own benefit. They wanted to ask


    how Jewel was, but now clearly wasn''t the time.


    "Jewel!" shouted Alex anxiously, ming himself for not being able to discern that the old woman was


    Blood Rose''s aplice. He wanted to go over to check on Jewel, but Blood Rose kept attacking


    which kept him upied for the time being. His movements became more violent due to his anger.


    Jewel knew this as well. Alex was no match for Blood Rose and was lucky enough to be able to defend


    himself. The man pursuing Blood Rose earlier was gone, probably already dealt with by their own


    people, so now Jewel could only depend on herself. However, she had just been stabbed which


    affected her physical reactions, plus she had a crying child with her. She couldn''t just go on the


    offensive with the old woman as well, since hurting the child wouldn''t be worth it.


    After brief consideration, she had no choice but to reach for the small bottle Olivia had given her and


    pulled the cork with one hand. Just as the old woman attacked once again, Jewel swung her hand,


    throwing the bottle of white powder toward her opponent. She and Alex had already taken the antidote,


    so they would be unscathed if they inhaled the powder. However, other people wouldn''t be so


    fortunate.


    The old woman knew that this was another substance that could weaken her entire body and


    instinctively moved away from it, covering her face, nose, and mouth while waiting for the smell to


    disperse. However, Jewel moved forward with the child in her arms and kicked the old woman directly


    in the chest.


    The old woman slid some distance away on the floor, grunting in pain which made a fragrant smell


    enter her nostrils easily. She tried to get up but suddenly felt weak, unable to get up even after several


    attempts.


    Jewel knew that Olivia''s bone-softening powder had taken effect and ignored the old woman since her


    target was Blood Rose. She suddenly felt that Olivia''s powder was extremely useful and nned to use


    it on Blood Rose as well, but Blood Rose had been smart enough to give up on fighting with Alex at


    close range and quickly run outside.


    Then, Jewel quickly stuffed the child into Alex''s arms and ran after Blood Rose, bing panicked


    when she saw Blood Rose was about to reach the reception hall. If Blood Rose fled outside, it would be


    much more difficult to capture her as there were so many people there.
