Chapter 12

Author: Zesty Zing
Diana covered her nose and crouched beside the trash bin. She sifted through the discarded herbal dregs, examining them one handful at a time.

With each closer look, her frown deepened. These were common sedative and calming herbs, mild and standard. If something this ordinary could cure Amara's headaches, she would not need to rummage through garbage. She could have brewed it herself.

She removed her gloves and shot Polly a sharp look. "Are you sure? This is what he used?"

Polly nodded quick

  • Nine Ungrateful Sisters   Chapter 726

    "Clara sent it? What is it?"A spark of interest lit up all of them at once.Rumors had spread like wildfire, claiming that Clara had been possessed by something evil and was no longer a normal person.But the sisters never believed those stories. It was obvious that people had pushed Clara far beyond her breaking point. She had only fought back in a moment of fury. How had that somehow become entirely her fault?As for the claim that Clara had killed someone, they dismissed it as complete nonsense. How could Clara possibly kill anyone? It had to be a distorted version of the truth, twisted and exaggerated until it no longer resembled what had actually happened.Thus, when they heard the package had come from Clara, every one of them immediately perked up."Why didn't Clara come herself? Even if she really did kill someone, surely Oscar could smooth things over."The moment the words left Elara's mouth, Diana smacked her on the arm. "What kind of nonsense is that? How could Clar

    "Aaaaagh!" Hilda felt as though her chest might burst from sheer fury.Everyone had turned against her, and she felt so miserable that she wanted to slam her head against the floor.Once the sisters had settled in, Oscar returned to his room.The moment he loosened his clothes, the little dragon shot out of his sleeve, unable to wait another second. From her eager behavior, it was obvious she wanted to see the sisters."You want to go see them?" Oscar pointed toward the sisters' room, and the little dragon nodded enthusiastically.She had missed her sisters so much it felt as though she might die from longing. Now that they were so close, right next door, how could she not be thrilled?Oscar gestured toward the little dragon's body. "But are you really planning to see them looking like that?""I don't know why you're so attached to the sisters, but they're suspected criminals right now. They're accused of consorting with dragons."The suspicion may have been lifted for the mome

    The sisters turned to Elara with puzzled expressions. "A barking match?"If the guards had not still been standing outside the gate, Elara would have turned around and fled on the spot.That day, if panic had not clouded her judgment, would she ever have stooped to barking like a dog and pretending she had lost her mind?"All right, that's enough standing around. I didn't bring you here for a vacation." Oscar's voice pulled Elara out of her embarrassment."I assume Stanley already explained why you're here. The Miller household isn't the Chamberlain household. Between all of you, you'll have only two guest rooms."Don't touch anything in those rooms without permission, and if you want something to eat, you'll have to make it yourselves. Understood?" he said.The sisters nodded. Oddly enough, arriving at Oscar's house felt like a relief. No matter how modest the accommodations, they were far better than a jail cell."Don't worry, Oscar. We know our place," Diana said first.Rebe

    The guard cut Hilda off without ceremony. He had already figured her out: small in stature, big on trouble.Hilda might have grown into an adult's body, but she still behaved like a child.As they were led out of the prison, Clara spotted them from across the street. Wearing a mask and sunglasses, she walked right past them without any of them recognizing her.'They're going to Oscar's house?' Clara had managed to learn that much. 'Why would they be going to Oscar's house?'A flicker of surprise crossed her mind, followed by an inexplicable sense of relief.Whatever Oscar was planning, it reassured her. The sisters might endure some hardship, but he would never allow their lives to be in danger."In that case, I'll just have to find another time to give them these rings."Clara slipped into the crowd and disappeared from sight.…At the Miller villa, Rebecca could hardly believe what she had just heard. "What? The Chamberlain sisters are coming to stay at our house? Bro, how c

    "What? Go to that ungrateful wretch's house? I'm not going." The moment Hilda heard they were being taken to Oscar's house, her temper exploded. "And you claimed you weren't trying to get back at us on purpose. Now your true colors are finally showing, aren't they? Who knows what he's got waiting for us if we go to his place?"She glared at her sisters. "And we're supposed to do everything he says? Who does he think he is? Even when he was still part of the family, he was only tenth in line, and now he's been thrown out altogether. If the rest of you want to go, then go without me."Hilda's outburst planted the same suspicion in her sisters' minds.Why would Oscar want them brought to his house?The sisters exchanged uneasy glances, and an old memory surfaced.Oscar had once forged marriage documents for several people. Could he be planning to take advantage of them now that they had fallen so low?"Move aside. I'm leaving. I'm not going." Hilda shoved the guard aside and tried t

    Even with a hand clamped around his throat, Stanley forced the words out without hesitation. "The Dragon Abyss has been unstable lately. The Archon doesn't want anything else to go wrong in the North Domain."Oscar fell silent for a moment. He understood Boreas' reasoning. If their positions had been reversed, and he had been the Archon, he might have given the same order himself. He would choose the smallest possible sacrifice now to prevent a far greater disaster later.If something had truly gone wrong in the Dragon Abyss, if dragons really walked this world again, the destruction they would bring would be impossible to measure.Humanity had advanced rapidly. Firearms and even nuclear weapons had convinced many people that they now ruled the world."If I possess the power to level mountains and split the earth, who else could possibly rule this world but me?"But none of them had ever stood face to face with a dragon. Their power was only part of what made them terrifying.Why

    "That little bastard," Bella snapped as soon as she stepped through the door. "He's gotten real bold."She tossed her umbrella onto the floor and dropped onto the sofa, her cheeks still tight with anger.Amara entered with a cup of coffee, stirring it in slow, steady circles.The other sisters dr

    "Miss Bella, you're here!"Unlike Oscar, the Chamberlain sisters lived in the spotlight. They made headlines almost daily. In Silverton, nearly everyone recognized them.Victor hurried to drag over a stool. He wiped it down with his sleeve and offered it to Bella.She glanced at it. Disgust flick

    "Victor, we really have no money left!" George dropped to his knees. "We already repaid the 60,000 dollars we borrowed from you. Over the years, it was 6,000 here, 6,000 there. Now it's somehow 600,000? How are we supposed to come up with that?"He pressed his forehead to the floor. "Please. Leave

    Rain streamed down Oscar's face and soaked through his clothes, but he felt none of it.For years, he had given the Chamberlain family everything.Amara's Chamberlain Group would never have risen to the top of Silverton without him supplying her with intelligence day after day, placing winning str
