    Chapter 2060


    Arabe''s mind swirled with confusion and anger.


    "If it weren''t for you wrecking everything for the Murphys, my parents would still be living high on the


    hog, the toast of Tranquil City. They''d have more dough than they''d know what to do with, and they


    could''ve tossed some her way, set her up nice and cozy. This mess is all on you!"


    A cold edgeced Arabe''s voice. "From what I hear, you cut ties with Yvonne the moment you


    waltzed back into the Murphy family. And your so-called loving parents washed their hands of her too.


    Yet she''s still taking care of you, shows she''s willing to let bygones be bygones, that she''s got a ce


    in her heart for her daughter."


    "Cut the crap, I don''t want to hear it." Ynda raged, her voiceced with hysteria. "Aren''t you


    supposed to be some miracle worker?"


    She motioned for one of her goons to bring something forward. "Drink this and I''ll let them go. We can


    settle our scoreter!"


    One of theckeys approached with a shot ss of sinister-looking liquid. Arabe caught a whiff - it


    wasced with a lethal poison. She turned her head, refusing to drink.


    She had once concocted a remedy capable of neutralizing the deadliest toxins, but she hadn''t taken


    the precaution before leaving the house.


    After all, her main goal tonight was to confront Stinger at the auction. Moreover, she was supposed to


    attend a banquet with Romeoter in the evening, so she hadn''t prepared.

    The banquet was set to start at seven, and it wasn''t quite time yet. If Romeo couldn''t get a hold of her,


    he would surely start looking into her whereabouts. But even if he did, it would take him at least an hour


    to get there.


    And Ynda''s patience was clearly wearing thin.


    At the moment, a couple dozen thugs were holding knives to the faces, necks, and bodies of Joyce and


    Mya. Edith was strung up high, the rope extending along a track into the building, presumably with the


    main switch upstairs.


    "Don''t even think about trying anything sneaky!" Ynda seemed to read Arabe''s thoughts. "The one


    hanging there is barely breathing. The switch is on the third floor, and even if you could fly, it would take


    time. But make one wrong move, and I''ll off your two little friends first!"


    Without warning, Ynda viciously stabbed Mya''s thigh, causing her to tremble in agony. Mya tried to


    stifle her cries, but muffled sounds of excruciating pain escaped her lips, as if she were suffocating.


    "Stop it." Arabe knew Ynda was beyond reason;pliance seemed the only option.


    "Don''t think I''m ying games with you. I want that poison down your throat in three seconds t, or I''ll


    go deeper, and she can kiss her leg goodbye!" There was no room for negotiation in Ynda''s voice.


    The goons'' des were perilously close to Joyce''s delicate neck, which was already beading with


    blood.


    "I''ll drink."


    Arabe''s decision brought tears to Joyce and Mya''s eyes as they pleaded with her not to do it.


    But theckey forced the concoction down Arabe''s throat.


    "Can you let them go now?"


    Ynda''sughter was maniacal. "I didn''t think you''d be so loyal!"


    "Today, I''m going to avenge my parents with my own hands." Reаd at Draмanоvels


    Just as Ynda lunged at her, Arabe, without warning, spat out a mouthful of blood.


    What kind of poison could act so quickly, strong enough to induce blood from the mouth of the


    unstoppable Arabe.
