Owen
<b>At </b>first, Yunice did not understand, but then she recalled the discarded medication bottles in Owen’s desk drawer.
By
hospital regtions, all used medication vials required thorough documentation and disposal. The fact that Owen had not done so meant those drugs were obtained through improper <b>channels</b>.
Owen prided himself on his principles, except when it came to Elsie.
Those discarded bottles had to be connected to her.
“Here you go with the Epinerate the pharmacist said, handing over the medication. “Make sure to test for allergies first. We don’t want another near–ident likest time with the Pentopex shot.”
Yunice’s eyes darkened slightly. She epted the package with a soft hum and carried the Epinerate back to Owen’s office.
Now she understood why it had been so easy to get the prescription filled. And she also understood why the Saunders family hospital had been gued by so many scandals in recent years.
It all traced back to Owen’s indulgence of Elsie.
Elsie <b>had </b>entered the Saunders family at fourteen, illiterate and uneducated.
Oscar and Owen, full of guilt and affection, had arranged a ce for her in school and forced Yunice to tutor her. But Elsie’s foundation <b>was </b>too weak, and every exam she took was <b>a </b>disaster.
Eventually, she started resenting school. To keep her motivated, Oscar and Owen forced Yunice to sign Elsie’s name on her own test papers
Elsie’s ster grades were praised by the entire school, while Yunice, taking the fall for her, was publicly shamed for failing. But the brothers never once noticed Yunice’s <b>humiliation</b>. They only felt that it was a great idea. They went on to make her publish medical papers under Elsie’s name and forced her to let Elsie ept herpetition awards.
All this while, they had been telling her that <b>Elsie </b><b>had </b>no citizenship, no official student status, <b>and </b>that Yunice needed to let go of her vanity for the <b>sake </b>of her sister’s happiness.
Looking bark <b>now</b>, Yunice realized Elsie had never actually cared about learning. Even after three years of university under Yunice’s stolen identity, there was no way she had passed her courses.
Oscar and Owen must <b>have </b>pulled strings to fabricate her academic sess.
Now, Elsie was both a post–graduate student and <b>a </b>hospital intern, and Owen was surely still covering for her
Those empty vials were proof that she <b>had </b>been practicing on real patients. And clearly, viting medical regtions <b>was </b>nothing new. It was practicallymon knowledge among the <b>hospital </b>staff.
No wonder the Saunders family hospital’s reputation had plummeted. It had been bled dry by Elsie.
Before this, Yunice had assumed Elsie’s actions stemmed from insecurity or jealousy. Now she saw the truth<b>. </b>Elsie was merely <b>a </b>parasite, a bloodsucking leech, feeding off the Saunders <b>family </b>to fatten herself.
If this continued, Oscar and Owen would be dragged into prison along with her.
Yunice injected herself with Epinerate. <b>As </b>the cold liquid seeped into her veins<b>, </b><b>she </b>thought to herself. She did not care <b>what </b>happened to Oscar and Owen. But her father’s legacy? She would not let Elsie sink her fangs into that any longer.
To seize power, she needed leverage
After dropping <b>out </b>of school, Yunice had wasted three years. Her future was ruined.
But she refused to despair. Her father once said. “The best time to nt a <b>tree </b>was ten years ago. The second best time is
10:46 AM ? ?
Chapter 19 A Bloodsucking Leech
Elie wanted to destroy me? Fine. Then I would rise beyond her reich.
Yunice clenched the pill in her palm, her expression unreadable.
If she wanted to escape the Saunders family’s grip, <b>she </b>needed adder.
The
next morning, <b>she </b>finally returned home.

Owen was already fuming. The moment he saw her strolling leisurely through the door, he stormed toward her. <b>“</b>Yunice, you really think you’re something, huh? Didn’te home all night? I almost thought you were dead!”
