Chapter 342


    “Where am I?” ra asked, stealing a nce at him.


    “You’re in the suburbs, a ce you’ve never been before! This is a house I bought earlier. I had a good


    friend who passed away. His parents lost their ie and


    decided to sell his assets.”


    ra bit her lip, secretly surveying the surroundings for a chance to escape.


    “This vi has a great environment. I was involved in its construction, so for me, it’s not just a building


    but a memento of my friend.”


    “I didn’t know you had another house,” ramented.


    Elio suddenly turned to her, “Enough about the house. Let’s talk about you. Howe you’ve changed


    your attitude so suddenly? I thought you were gonna give me a hard time for a while longer!”


    ra shrugged, “There’s no point in butting heads with you. I’ve known you long enough to know your


    character. If you’ve made up your mind about something, I doubt I can change it, right?”


    “No! Apart from this, I’m easily swayed by you. But on this matter, I owe you an apology…” Elio didn’t


    continue, and ra didn’t press him.


    Her goal now was to get Elio to let his guard down so she could find a chance to escape.


    She asked, “Has Leah been in touch with you recently? Do you know her whole n?”


    Elio shook his head, “I have no idea. Leah and I are just rtives, nothing special. If it hadn’t been for


    my sudden whim to find a substitute for you, Leah and I would hardly cross paths. At family gatherings,


    we barely exchange words.”


    “Oh, so can you guess how she ns to snag Emmett?”


    A smirk tugged at Elio’s lips, “Don’t tell me you don’t believe me? Do you think Leah and I are in


    cahoots, and I know everything she’s up to?”


    “No, I was just asking. It’s just you and me here, just looking for a topic to chat about…”


    “Leah is quite mboyant in our family, so not many people like her. The Milburn family has been


    doctors for generations, but she chose to follow in her father’s footsteps and go into business.”


    ra nodded, “Oh…”


    “But she does seem to know some medical techniques, even worked in the Milburn family hospital for a


    bit. But she got kicked out by my grandfather, the current possessor of the family’s secret recipe.


    Because she was only interested in stealing it.”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “What kind of secret recipe does your family have?”


    “Yes! It’s said to be a form for an extremely toxic drug.”


    ra was confused, “Can you be a bit more specific?”


    Elio chuckled and said, “It’s a drug-that can poison people, and you need to take an antidote regrly


    to stay alive!”


    “But what does Leah want with this form?” ra asked, baffled.


    “Obviously, to control people! Because if you don’t get the antidote on time, you’re dead meat!” Elio


    exined.


    ra’s eyes widened in shock, “Is this drug so poisonous?”


    “Definitely!” Elio suddenly remembered something his grandfather had told him, “I remember my


    grandfather originally nned to pass this form on to me, but he was afraid I might go down the


    wrong path, so he didn’t choose me to inherit it.”
