Chapter 82
Serena stepped out of the VIP elevator at her office floor when she was quickly approached by her front-desk secretary, Lisa."Ms. DiLaurentis, you're back."They entered the office together and Serena took her seat in the executive chair.She carefully pulled off the heel on her right foot and groaned slightly, feeling a sharp pain around her ankle. The wound had only worsened overnight despite the necessary medication applied.Lisa quickly explained, "I've made a lot of calls as you asked, and each time they hang up on me after hearing the name of our Medical Center. Our names must have been blacklisted all over Brooklyn Heights—and the country too." Now that the only supplier of the Medical Center, Lancaster, had permanently blacklisted them, it was only a matter of time before they ran out of pharmaceuticals.After what happened the previous night, Serena had to start working on alternative suppliers for the family business despite knowing how futile it might turn out in the end
Chapter 81
Elijah couldn't be bothered with these spoilt brats; he only interfered because his arrogant sister-in-law could involve his feisty wife, who had him under house arrest."If that's what you believe, then believe it. I won't say anymore." He turned around and began to walk away from them.He hadn't gone far when Rosalie blocked his way and glared angrily at him. "Where do you think you're going?"A confused look crossed his face."I owe you nothing anymore, Rosalie. Go home."She gritted her teeth and almost jabbed her finger into his face. "Don't think you can say nonsense. Where is the card? Hurry up and return it."Rosalie stretched her arm in his direction, but he simply blinked."What card?" he pretended not to know what she was talking about.This made Rosalie even angrier. "My sister's privilege card. Do you still think I won't find out that you stole her bank card? You worthless thief!"Not only was this useless brother-in-law incapable of anything, he even dared to steal a car
Chapter 80
Meanwhile, outside District N Dine restaurant, the five ladies couldn't leave yet because they had all forgotten their bags in a hurry. Even their bodyguards still lay injured inside the building, but they couldn't wait now.“Rosalie, your bodyguard really defeated that Master Tate just now—where did you hire him?” Aria demanded. “If you knew he was capable, why did you allow me to send Anthony just now?” How could she not be angry about the death of her ever-capable bodyguard.If Rosalie's bodyguard had stepped in earlier and acted like a man, Anthony would still be alive.Rachael also added, “That's right—my bodyguard Obed was injured too. Didn't you say he wasn't capable?” The other two women nodded in agreement.Rosalie almost tore her hair out as the blame shifted to her. How could she have predicted that her useless brother-in-law would pack some strength in a slap? Earlier she had told her friends that he was the best of the best bodyguards, but she had long known he wasn't
Chapter 79
The Seven-Scale Curse.Elijah wasn't sure at first, but when he looked closer he was certain this was a curse he had once seen and read about in one of his master's ancient journals.A martial curse that embeds itself into the victim's body as a sigil and secretes a corrupting qi that gradually destroys organs or severs the flow of life-energy.Without the specific cure—which could be rare herbs, a counter-ritual, or a bloodline sacrifice—the victim weakens and dies within a defined period of days, months, or at most a year, depending on the curse's potency."Who cursed you?" Elijah looked away from the mark to the old man's face.Sigil curses could be imposed on a victim through many means, but most often by a Hex Master with knowledge of ancient tradition.The old man's eyes widened and he could finally look Elijah in the eye. He spoke hurriedly, "You believe me? You believe me, Young Master..." He thought his words would be taken for nonsense.Seeing that Elijah didn't react, he e

"Young Master Langston, I really thought you were dead. If I had known you were still alive, I would have—" Old Mr. Carrington was interrupted by Elijah in an instant."Haunted me down, isn't that right? The Carringtons sold the names of our allies to be completely destroyed or haunted to this day; is this not true?"The Carringtons knew who the allies of the Langstons were, even if they were not publicly known.It was clear in the notebook that the patriarch sold both public and secret allies of the Langstons for reasons best known to him.If betrayal were a person, it would be Old Mr. Carrington of the Carrington family.He could never be excluded from this.Old Mr. Carrington was shocked to hear Elijah say this because he believed no one outside the great families was supposed to know.It was as though his sins were laid bare before him, and he could not deny them."On your feet..." Elijah commanded in a cold voice. The old man staggered his frail frame to his feet but still kept h
Chapter 77
The jaw of the waiter and Manager Rufus almost reached the ground in shock.They could neither believe their eyes nor themselves.This was Mr. Carrington himself, the respectable patriarch of the aristocratic family, crawling like a child in front of this ordinarily dressed, brazen man.Rufus rushed quickly to try to help the patriarch up, saying, “Brother, did you miss a step and fall?”That was definitely it.Why would his great brother crawl before a nobody?What he didn't expect was a responding slap that almost removed the lower set of his teeth.“Brother, you hit me.” His eyes widened in complete confusion.“And I'll hit you again if you talk nonsense,” Mr. Carrington glared furiously at him. “Hurry and apologize to Mr. Langston for offending him. Hurry up before I break your legs myself.”He looked like he could ruthlessly beat up Rufus right now.“Mr. Langston? What are you talking about?” Rufus stammered in confusion, wondering what his brother was talking about.He had never
