After ra slid into the car, her heart was still racing from the chaos Dn had just stirred up. But knowing Dn, with his naturally reserved nature, he probably hadn''t meant to cause such a stir. It was just bad timing with his low blood sugar episode, which had left her drenched in a cold sweat, her back still mmy.


    ra rubbed her temples and tried calling Z again, but still no answer. She had no clue if Lincoln had actually gotten his hands on Z, and she wasn''t about to gamble on it. She''d managed to track down Lincoln''s address and was driving there with a mix of dread and determination.


    When she finally arrived, she discovered Lincoln had already headed to the Ferguson estate. In Lincoln''s mind, Dn was as good as gone, and he expected the Ferguson estate to be thrown into chaos soon. Cedric would surely need to name a new heir, and it would be between Lincoln and his younger brother Aaron. Simon was a lost cause, and Cedric had long since given up on him.


    With Aaron overseas and out of the loop, Lincoln saw his chance to win over their grandfather. He couldn''t believe how easily his clumsy scheme seemed to have worked against Dn-it was almostughable. Everyone at the Ferguson estate had always sung Dn''s praises, and yet here he was, supposedly taken down by a woman. Lincoln smirked at the thought that the heir''s position should''ve been his all along. Their grandfather was so tantly biased!


    Lincoln entered the Ferguson estate practically glowing with smug satisfaction. But that all shattered when he saw Dn sitting with Cedric, casually having tea. It was as if he''d seen a ghost; his legs gave out, and he crumpled to the floor.


    Cedric gave Lincoln a puzzled look. "What''s with the grand entrance?"


    Lincoln stared at Dn, dread pooling in his stomach. Dn, sitting there in his wheelchair, seemedpletely unbothered, sipping his tea as if nothing had happened. Lincoln''s mind was a whirl of confusion. Just two hours ago, he''d heard Dn was in dire straits. ra had sounded genuinely panicked, a tone you couldn''t fake. The poison Lincoln had used was supposed to be instant and irreversible. So how was Dn here, looking perfectly fine?


    Sweat dripped down Lincoln''s face, his lips quivering. Cedric watched him with a mix of irritation and concern. "What''s going on?"


    Lincoln wiped his forehead, avoiding eye contact with Dn, unsure how much he knew. He was desperate to escape the estate, but just as he was leaving, Dn ced a chess piece on the board with a deliberate clink. In that moment, Lincoln felt like a pawn in Dn''s game.


    Dn gave a slight smile. “Father, I''ll be heading out too."


    Cedric sighed, "Take care of your health. It''s only just stabilized."


    "Of course," Dn replied, always so polite to Cedric.


    As Dn maneuvered his wheelchair behind Lincoln, Lincoln, already on edge, bolted several steps forward like a startled bird. Even back in his car, his heart wouldn''t stop pounding. Over the years, he''d tried to have Dn eliminated, but Dn had always shrugged it off, never showing any sign of being hurt or seeking revenge.


    Gripping the steering wheel, Lincoln was eager to confront ra, to understand what went wrong. He floored the gas pedal, but as he neared his home, another car suddenly blocked his path, forcing him to m the brakes so hard his head hit the steering wheel, almost knocking him out.


    Taking a deep breath, he opened the car door to see what was happening, only to spot ra approaching. Lincoln clutched his head, a cold sneer forming on his lips. So, ra had the nerve to show up here. He was ready to spit out threats involving her family when ra unexpectedly swung a baseball bat at his head.


    Right there, near his home, in broad daylight-was she out of her mind? Didn''t she fear the consequences? ra dragged Lincoln out of his car and shoved him into hers, then called Aiden.


    "Aiden, what do you usually do with people who try to harm Mr. Dn?"


    Aiden paused for a moment before replying softly, "Bring them to Palm Bay."


    ra was taken aback but drove to Palm Bay and spilled all the details about the poison Lincoln had provided.
