"This..."Rolan's scalp prickled as he watched the stray dog collapse to the ground. It struggled for less than ten seconds before going completely still.Rolan stared at the dog in disbelief."If those bones were poisoned, then why did the young master...?"He couldn't understand it.If Hudson already knew there was something wrong with the wild medicine, why had he still eaten all the soup and the entire chicken?Wasn't he afraid of being poisoned?Rolan remained crouched on the ground, thinking about it for a while, but he still couldn't come up with an answer. In the end, he had no choice but to let the matter go.As for Ira sending poisoned wild medicine and specifically ordering that it be served only to her brother-in-law, Rolan didn't suspect her at all.As the Cael's family's steward, he had seen enough family conflicts to know that things like this happened when there were disagreements over power and inheritance.To him, it didn't matter who ended up in control. Getting inv

To Hudson, this stranger had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, without leaving the slightest trace of where he had come from.Everyone in the office froze for several seconds before finally reacting."Who are you?""What are you doing here?"Ira was the first to recover.She immediately rushed toward Hudson and reached for his phone. She knew he must have recorded everything she had just said.If that recording fell into the wrong hands, it would become serious evidence against her. But taking something from Hudson was easier said than done.The moment Aurora's fingers touched his hand, she felt a sharp pain, as if she had grabbed the tip of a needle. She immediately jerked her hand back.Hudson looked at her calmly."By the way, I should introduce myself. I'm Aker's friend." He gave her an innocent smile. "I just happened to step away to use the bathroom. I never expected to overhear something like this. Hurting your own brother-in-law and forcing your sister to sign over the family

Not long after, Rolan returned with the test report and the specially packaged chicken bones.After reading through the report, Aurora took the initiative to call the police. Things had already gone too far. She knew her relationship with her sister had completely fallen apart, and there was no going back.She might have been soft-hearted, but she wasn't stupid.Once could be a mistake. Twice might still be forgiven.But three times?After everything that had happened, it was obvious that her sister was determined to kill her husband and take control of thefamily fortune.If Aurora continued protecting her sister because of their family ties, there was a real chance her husband would die the next time.If that happened, she would lose two people she loved.Making the hard decision now meant losing only one.“Aurora, please don't call the police!” Ira pleaded, her voice trembling. “Please! I know I was wrong. Don't call them!”The moment she saw the test report, the uneasiness she had

The people who stepped out of the cars were none other than Ira and her husband, the same couple who had been taken away by the police the day before.Under normal circumstances, they should have been behind bars by now.The fact that they were already standing here meant something had changed. But they weren't the only ones who had arrived.A young man stepped out of one of the vehicles. He had delicate features and long hair, and at first glance, he could easily have been mistaken for a woman.Ira and her husband didn't immediately approach the Esteban family estate. Instead, they stood behind the young man and waited for him to move first.When he finally started walking, the couple followed closely behind him.Their attitude was noticeably different from the day before. They kept their heads slightly lowered and followed him respectfully, looking more like subordinates than a married couple from a wealthy family.The sight made Hudson frown. Yesterday, Ira had claimed that she had

Shan remained on the ground, gasping for breath.He cautiously looked up at Hudson, who was still staring down at him with a cold expression. Shan swallowed hard before finally explaining, “I honestly don't know the details either. It was an order from the family, so I just followed it.”Hudson frowned slightly.From Shan's expression and the way he spoke, Hudson was certain he wasn't lying.He had originally thought that he could force the truth out of Shan and finally understand what was going on. He hadn't expected to discover that Shan was nothing more than a pawn.Still, Hudson's instincts told him that the Rodriguez family's involvement was far from simple.After a brief moment of thought, he said coldly, “Get lost.”Relief immediately washed over Shan's face.He struggled to get back on his feet and quickly left with his guards.Ira and her husband, who had been watching everything in fear, immediately tried to follow them.“You two stay.”Hudson's cold voice stopped them in th

Inside the house, there were plenty of porcelain pieces, old coins, statues, and other antiques.Hudson personally went through every item, carefully inspecting each one. But after taking a closer look, he found that they were all ordinary antiques. There was nothing unusual about any of them, and none of them showed any sign of being special.Since he couldn't find anything worth investigating, Hudson decided not to waste time speculating. He called Vicente and asked him to look into the Rodriguez family's background in Los Angeles, California, and find out if there was anything they were planning behind the scenes.At the same time, Hudson asked Vicente to investigate the Bush family's history as well.His instincts told him that the Rodriguez family's interest in the Bush family wasn't something that had started recently. There was a good chance it was connected to something that had happened years ago. He wanted to see if digging into the Bush family's past would reveal any clues.

Aker, Aurora, and the others had already gone deathly pale. They were struggling just to stay on their feet under the pressure being released by the Rodriguez family members.At that moment, their hearts were practically in their throats.They had heard the entire conversation between Hudson and Nel. Knowing that Hudson was alone while the Rodriguez family had several people with them, they couldn't help worrying that Hudson might not be able to handle them all.Hudson, however, simply stared at Nel with a calm expression.He had given them a time limit, and he intended to honor it exactly. Not a second less, but certainly not a second more.At first, Nel hadn't taken Hudson seriously at all. He had been confident that the young man in front of him wouldn't dare go against the Rodriguez family.But the longer Hudson looked at him without saying a word, the more an inexplicable sense of unease began to spread through Nel's heart.He couldn't determine Hudson's true strength.From the w

What the Rodriguez family wanted was already in their hands.Besides, Hudson knew the Rodriguez family would come looking for them sooner or later, so there was no reason to make a move right away.For now, the most important thing was recovering as quickly as possible and returning to his peak condition.After telling Aker and the others to notify him immediately if anyone else showed up, Hudson went back to his room.The first thing he did was enter the Fengtian Realm to check on Binx.The little one was fast asleep. Even when Hudson called his name several times, Binx didn't respond at all.Seeing how deeply he was sleeping, Hudson decided not to disturb him. He quietly left the Fengtian Realm and returned to his room to continue recovering.The next morning, Hudson stretched his arms and legs after finishing another round of recovery exercises. Aker was squatting nearby, watching him closely."Hmm?"Hudson suddenly stopped.His head lifted, and his eyes turned toward the main entr

Ira was a very smart woman. The moment she saw the dried corpses on the ground and then noticed the terror written across Shan's face, she immediately understood what had happened.Things had not gone according to plan.Worse, Aker now knew everything she had done. The realization made the color drain from Ira's face."Aker, what's wrong?"Aurora had no idea what was happening. She quickly walked over to Aker, her face filled with nervousness and concern.She had known Aker for so long, but this was the first time she had ever seen him this angry.And that anger was directed at his own sister.Just the night before, they had talked about this while lying in bed. Aurora had hoped Aker would show Ira some goodwill and let go of the mistakes she had made in the past so the family could continue living together peacefully.Aker had even told her that he was willing to let go of his grudges.So how had things changed overnight?Why did it now look as though Aker wanted nothing more than to

Jans had thought he could use Hudson's arrogance to provoke a confrontation with the Tipcan Sect. If the two sides ended up fighting, the Rodriguez family would naturally be the ones to benefit. But he had never expected Hudson to simply mention one name and send the two elders of the Tipcan Sect running without another word."You have no right to speak to me," Hudson said calmly. "Call Dexter Walter instead."The two elders of the Tipcan Sect froze for a moment.Then they exchanged a look, cupped their fists respectfully toward Hudson, and turned around without saying another word.Jans was stunned.‘What was going on? How could things have turned out like this?’When he finally recovered from his shock, Jans instinctively turned around. The two men he had brought as his strongest backing were already gone.‘Who exactly was Dexter?’Panic began to creep into Jans's heart. He couldn't understand how Hudson had managed to make two elders of the Tipcan Sect retreat simply by mentioning
