Chapter 2430
Yawne thought, Hell? This place locised like nothing more than an outdated capital. Why did Clarice call it hell on earth?!
Yvonne's whole body was twitching uncontrollably as her mind teetered between clarity and confusion.
Sorme fragmented memories surfaced. She recalled a right when Pivorage had closed for the day, and she had shared drinks in the wine cellar with Taylor.
She had not wanted to exsociate with him, but she had approached him solely to gather more information
Taylor had told her that the Hoss was involved in the pharmaceutical business and had significant influmen in Meridan, where he had formed ties with local government officials and powerful oltres. His business was thriving.
Since dog research required clinical trials, Le Buss owned a puivate hospital in Merilan. But that respitel was nothing more the lacade.
In the basement floors, the patients lying on the beds were all test subjects for drug experiments.
Yawne shtered at the thought. The scenes Taylor had described felt certly stilar to her current surandings
Could this be the place where Grant and Clarice conducted their drug research experiments?
"Heh.. Hell on earth? Do you think... dhe afraid! Worne struggled to breathe, her gaze fixed on Clarice's twisted, malicious face.
Her resolve hardened. She world go down figuring The years I spert by Chitstopher's side... Tvery day was hell... Death? I'm not afraid to die."
"You want to die! You will be begging for it!" Clarine's eyes burned with fury as she grabbed Yvonne's jaw with force. "Listen to me, you worthless wench. In this place, 1am God. I decide everything
"If I'm in good vod, I might show you a stred of cy. I ust, 'ake sure you will experience Living hell." Seeing the unwavering calm in Yvonne's eyes, Clarice grew ever angrier. She slapped Yvonne hard across the face.
"Christopher? He's nothing but a lackey that the Bass raised. As for yan? You're just a pet he kept a plaything for whoever wanted you.
"Just because you've gotten close to Lie Thompson family and go together with Drew, do you think you've become someone special? Drew doesn't know the way you graveled fur men or sold yourself. If he ever saw that, he'd be disgusted by you!"
Yanne's long lashes rrembled. Tears of anguish spilled silently doen her cheels.
She had always light of this sell. But lacing it from Clive's wath made early cruel.
"You're not leaving this place alive anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Clarice traced Yvonne's delcare face with a chilling touch. Her valce cripped with malice. "Tilled Christopher
Youшe's eyes widened.
"The lives I've taken won't stop with Christopher. Su don't cross me. I'm capable of anything."
With that, Clarice turned on her heel, striding away with the air of a wor. Two medical staff fallowed her out of the mom.
The heavy iron dove slammed shut behind them and locked with a metallic click
Yvonne lay on her back, utterly immobilized except for her eyes. Her gaze drifted to the faint green glow of a surveillance camera in the tap left camer of the room.
In react, she prayed, not for someone to rescue les, but for Belle and Drew to find her lost plivue.
That way, they could uncover the evidence she had buried under the tree to bring down the dark empire Grant had built.
Late at night, Clarice stepped out of the last hospital room efter collecting the latest experimental data.
In the dim corridor, Jace's towering figure loomed like a shadow, exuding an oppressive presence
Clarice smirked cold by and approached him.
"That woman is lucked up here. She'll become one of the many test subjects. At least her life will have some value "
Hidden in the gloom, Jace's eyes narrowed slightly. A bane chilling cald radiated from his gaze. It was as though a caged bestst lay within, waring for the moment ro hrvale free.
"You. Cailed to complete the task that our boss gave you. Dulle's magnanimous. Out of respect for your past loyalty, heart punished. you."
Clarice pulled a small plzatie vial from her lab coat pocket containing a alne pill. It was the modleine Grant had gener
She held it out to fece, her we indifferent
"The Boss calculated that you must be running low on your meditation. He asked me to bring this for you. Its effems are stronger than what yar'when using. Take it, and your headaches will case significantly.
Jace glazed at Le bottle.
After a few moments of hesitation, he reached out and wook it from her hands.
