Chapter 1888: How Long Can She Live?


    Chapter 1888: How Long Can She Live?


    "Listen carefully, cousin," Athena, who had always been aware of Clint''s cruelty, had to bow her head


    even to him. "I will do my best, but I need some support. I ask for your help and financial assistance."


    "Hmph, you''ve got the nerve to ask me, proving you''re not willing to fail. Fine, tell Aldis what you need,"


    Clint replied.


    With that, he hung up the phone. Athena stared at the now darkened satellite phone screen, her fingers


    clenched, wishing she could crush the phone in her hand. Always high and mighty, she had never


    found herself in such a situation. Warned by Clint, now she had to ask for everything, aplete


    humiliation.


    Cloud''s betrayal was a p in the face. It must have been Vicki, the woman with a deep history with


    Cloud, who finally swayed him. She should have found a way to directly eliminate them both, to prevent


    any future trouble.


    A murderous glint shed in her eyes. Even now, it wasn''t toote. This time, she had to set a big trap,


    lure them all in, and take them down at all costs. She wanted them to know the price of angering her, a


    price no one could bear.


    Tossing the satellite phone onto the sofa, Athena''s body began to tremble violently, like leaves in the


    wind. The craving for drugs surged again. She had been holding back during the call, but now she


    couldn''t bear it any longer. Without the medication, the torment would gnaw at her heart, making life

    unbearable. She knew she couldn''t quit anymore. She was utterly ruined. Relying on painkillers to get


    through each day, how long could she keep going before her luck ran out?


    "Medicine, give me the medicine! Go get it!" Athena yelled,manding Aldis.


    Aldis nced at Athena, said nothing, and walked to the refrigerator. He retrieved a vial and a syringe


    from the cold storage, then returned to Athena''s side. Skillfully, he drew the liquid into the syringe and


    handed it to her.


    Athena was in a severe state, shaking uncontrobly, her body burning up and sweat beading on her


    forehead. She paid no attention to anything else. In front of Aldis, she removed her nightgown,


    revealing her wless skin and almost bare body underneath.


    Taking the syringe, she tried to inject it into her vein. But her trembling hands made it impossible to find


    the vein urately.


    "Help me," Athena''s voice quivered as she grabbed Aldis''s sleeve. "Quick, I''m in pain."


    Watching Athena twist and convulse, Aldis frowned. With a single push, he inserted the slender needle


    directly into her vein, and as the medication flowed in, Athena visibly rxed, her beautiful face


    gradually easing.


    With the drug in her system, Athenay back, sighing with relief. As the pain subsided, a lightness


    enveloped her, like being in a heavenly realm. Gradually, the intense heat and the pent-up turmoil


    within her body seemed to demand release.


    Athena''s eyes zed over. Suddenly, she reached out and pulled Aldis to her, pressing his hand


    against her almost unclothed body, her voice seductive, "Do you want me? Hmm? Come here..."


    Squinting, Aldis, being a man, found it hard to resist such temptation. The woman before him was


    undeniably beautiful, like a porcin doll, meeting all his aesthetic standards. Despite her toxicity, she


    was indeed beautiful. With a tug, he went along with her.


    Athena let out a satisfied hum. However, as Aldis attempted to go further, he abruptly stopped. As a


    member of the Tanaka family, he possessed enough self-control. Although Athena was not in her right


    mind, he couldn''t easily indulge. After all, Athena was a Yoshikawa. If things went south, he didn''t want


    to give her any leverage to hold over him.


    He pushed her back onto the sofa and stood up, looking down at her in her drug-induced confusion,


    with a disdainful snort.


    Leaving the living room, Aldis reached the doorway and instructed, "Send two men in to keep your


    mistresspany, and make sure the door is closed."


    "Yes," the ck-d guard outside the door replied.


    Aldis left with purpose. Having just arrived in Khebury, Pascaylia, there was much he didn''t know. He


    needed to investigate thoroughly beforepleting his mission.


    As the effects of the drug faded, Athena regained herposure. Realizing what she had done with


    her subordinates, she kicked them to the ground in rage. Without a second thought, she retrieved a


    silenced pistol from a hiddenpartment beside the sofa. Two muffled shotster, her subordinates


    Athena was ruthless in her actions, leaving no room forpromise. Her pride, though not that of a


    virgin, had never allowed her to be involved with men. She had always intended to give herself to


    Luther. Only recently had she abandoned that idea, consumed by thoughts of revenge.


    These despicable men dared to take advantage of her drug-induced state. Athena couldn''t bear the


    anger within her unless they were eliminated. She was proud and arrogant, and she wouldn''t allow


    anyone to defile her.


    Dressing herself, she called in the guards stationed outside when they heard themotion. Upon


    seeing the bodies lying in a pool of blood, eyes wide and lifeless, the guards were stunned and dared


    not make a sound. They silently rejoiced that they had resisted the urge to intervene, knowing that they


    might have been in the same position as the deceased if they had interfered.


    "Dispose of them," Athena''s voice was icy. "Go buy me some contraceptives. And where is Aldis?"


    Cursing Aldis in her heart, she couldn''t believe he had disregarded her. She had hoped to win him over,


    to make him devoted to her cause. That was why she had tried to lure him during her drug-induced


    state. She hadn''t expected him to resist and instead casually send in another man to satisfy her. She


    had to endure it for now, considering Clint''s background, but she vowed that he would pay for his


    insolence.


    The guards quickly cleaned up the living room. A few cleaners arrived to wipe away the bloodstains,


    leaving no trace behind.


    Sitting back on the sofa, Athena lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. After the injection and her


    outburst, she feltpletely at ease. She suddenly felt that this was a good way to relieve the pressure


    and ease the pain.


    Before she set her trap and took them all down, why not indulge herself a little? She had kept herself


    pure for Luther, but since he no longer wanted that... She sneered. She would make him regret it!
