Sharon’s fury erupted like a volcano the instant Lilian finished her statement. The audacity of that girl, a mere teenager, to speak to her in such a manner was beyond her comprehension. No one had ever dared to address her with such disrespect throughout her entire life, and now she found herself being reprimanded by someone so young. The sheer indignation boiled over within her.
“You little b*tch! Don’t you dare test your luck! My brother was offering you a chance to escape, and now you think you’re important? You have the audacity to throw your weight around in the Goodman household? You’ve got some nerve!” Her voice was sharp, each word laced with venom as she glared at Lilian, who remained unnervingly calm.
Lilian regarded Sharon with a bemused expression, a slight smile playing on her lips. “There’s an old saying, Ms. Sharon—’If you don’t act like an idiot, you might not die like one.’ I was prepared to overlook your outburst, but it seems your mouth can only spew nonsense. Perhaps it would be wise for you to simply stop talking altogether p>
With a flick of her fingers, a brilliant flash of blue light sparked to life at her fingertips, shimmering ominously, ready to unleash its power.
Killian, sensing the escalating tension, stepped forward, his face darkened by anger. “Ms. Lilian, this has gone on long enough. You’ve already inflicted pain on my brother and his wife. Show some restraint. This is the Goodman family—you would do well to remember that. If you continue this way, don’t hold me responsible for the consequences that follow p>
Lilian scoffed, her confidence unwavering. “Oh? And what do you think will happen next? You’ll call the police? Please, do it. I was actually planning on visiting the station myself. On my way here, I was attacked, and I haven’t had the chance to file a report yet. Perhaps, if the police dig a little deeper, they might uncover something quite intriguing p>
Killian’s complexion paled, the reality of her words sinking in.
Before he could respond, a sudden swish of blue light filled the air, and Sharon instinctively clutched her throat with both hands, her eyes wide with horror. She opened her mouth repeatedly, gasping for breath, producing only strangled sounds of “ah… ah… ah…” but no coherent words emerged.
Panic surged in her eyes, quickly followed by a burning hatred. The glare she directed at Lilian was filled with such venom that it felt like it could cut through steel.
Yet, Lilian stood unfazed, her demeanor calm and collected. She turned to Landon, her voice steady as she said, “Let’s go. The show has come to an end. It’s time to attend to the patient p>
Without a moment’s hesitation, she began to ascend the staircase.
Landon, snapping out of his stunned silence, hurriedly followed her, his mind racing to catch up with the unfolding chaos.
Sharon stumbled after them, a wave of panic washing over her as she tried to keep up, but Killian held her back firmly. Watching Lilian’s figure vanish up the stairs, he muttered darkly, “Don’t worry. So what if she has a few tricks up her sleeve? She’s still just a fifteen-year-old girl. What can she really do p>
In a distant corner of the room, Jeremy stood quietly, observing the entire scene unfold with a faint smirk tugging at the corners of his lips.
Everything that had transpired was nothing short of astonishing.
He had never imagined that the legendary miracle doctor his grandfather had summoned would turn out to be Lilian. Nor could he have anticipated her ruthlessness. She was nothing like the quiet, demure girl he had known from school.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the master bedroom, Lilian settled herself beside the unconscious old man, her focus laser-sharp as she checked his pulse. Landon remained close by, his eyes glued to her every movement, anxiety etched across his features.
When Lilian finally withdrew her hand, Landon could no longer contain his curiosity and concern. “Ms. Lilian, how is he? What’s wrong with the old master p>
Her gaze sharpened, revealing a flicker of intensity. “He’s been poisoned. His body had some underlying issues, but nothing that was immediately life-threatening. However, someone has used poison to hasten his organ failure. The toxin has already reached his lungs. If I had arrived a day later, you would likely have been preparing for his funeral p>
Landon froze, a wave of rage washing over him, his face turning crimson with fury. He clenched his fists tightly, muttering curses under his breath, “Those bastards p>
Turning back to Lilian, desperation and hope ignited in his eyes. “Ms. Lilian, can you save him? Before he lost consciousness, the master said—whatever your conditions are, he will agree to them. No matter what p>
In the aftermath of the tumultuous confrontation, the air hung thick with unresolved tension, but Lilian’s unwavering confidence began to shift the balance of power in the Goodman household. Sharon, once a figure of authority and disdain, now found herself stripped of her bravado, left gasping for breath and grappling with the consequences of her arrogance. The realization that a mere teenager could wield such power over her was a bitter pill to swallow, igniting a flame of resentment that would undoubtedly linger long after the chaos subsided. Meanwhile, Killian’s disbelief and frustration boiled beneath the surface, casting a shadow over his perception of Lilian, as he struggled to reconcile the girl he thought he knew with the formidable force that had just emerged before him.
