Evelyn's POVThree days later, Kurt finally breathed his last amid the excruciating pain that had been tormenting him. The moment he was taken off life support, his skin had already gone black from the rot.Before he died, a tear had rolled down the corner of his eye, which was left staring up at the ceiling. Clearly, he never got to rest in peace.One could only wonder whether he regretted smashing the clay medicinal pot during the final days of his life.…Kurt's death marked the beginning of the Mercers' downfall. Since their liquid funds were already gone, the bank sent representatives to seize the Mercers' family residence and company.To wash their hands of the responsibility, Caspian and Vera visited the police station with the hospital's security footage. There, they filed a police report against Giselle."It was Giselle! She was the one who hired an illegal doctor to inject poison into my dad's veins! She's a murderer and a scammer!"Giselle tried to steal what little

Third-Person POVThe hospital issued an ultimatum to the Mercers—if they couldn't clear Kurt's medical bills in time, the staff would have no choice but to take him off life support.At this point, Caspian had no choice but to pawn the family residence off to the bank. While he was tearing through the villa in search of the property deed, his foot accidentally nudged against Evelyn's worn-out bag that Giselle had thrown to the floor on the day she left.Caspian was delighted by the sight of the medicinal herbs that were still scattered across the floor. He remembered Evelyn saying that those herbs were extremely expensive in the past.There was nothing left for Caspian to lose, anyway. So, he quickly gathered the herbs and stuffed them into the bag. Before long, he flagged down a cab and rushed toward a pharmacy that sold herbal medication.Ironically, Samuel was the one running the pharmacy today. Caspian pushed the bag toward Samuel on the counter. He asked hoarsely, "How mu

Third-Person POVAfter the Mercers got kicked out of the hotel, they hurried back to the hospital in a fit of despair.The daily bills for ICU care were over ten thousand dollars. At the moment, Kurt relied on various expensive medical equipment that was imported, as well as life-saving injections just to survive.Giselle stood anxiously outside the ICU ward. She wasn't worried about Kurt in the slightest—rather, she was worried about the fact that he hadn't drafted a will yet.If he were to die without doing so, then Giselle would never be able to secure the majority of the Mercer family fortune, as per the law. On the contrary, Caspian and Vera would definitely pin the blame on her for Kurt's collapse at the welcome-home party.No… Kurt couldn't die now!Left without a choice, Giselle decided to pull some strings through her old friends. She had to spend an astronomical sum just to get in contact with a top-tier wonder drug specialist who claimed that he had just returned from

Evelyn's POVThe Mercers kept looking everywhere for me frantically. But they couldn't reach me on the phone. On top of that, I had already blocked them on WhatsApp.At 8:00 pm, Caspian finally found out through some connections in the elite society that I was attending a networking dinner for leading traditional doctors in the medical field. The moment he, Vera, and Giselle barged into the banquet hall, they were stunned by what they saw.In the middle of the brightly-lit hall, I could be seen clad in a luxurious, custom-fitted gown. At the moment, I was surrounded by a group of the most renowned medical experts in the nation. One of them happened to be Samuel—the very same doctor who Giselle had claimed to have spouted superstitious nonsense and got thrown out of the welcome-home party by Caspian himself.At that time, Samuel was eagerly seeking my advice. His face was alight with excitement, as though he was a student hungry for knowledge."Dr. Mercer, after you told me abo

Third-Person POVThe banquet hall fell eerily silent. The huge funeral wreath stood in the middle of the hall, its presence akin to a stinging slap to the Mercers.Terrified, Giselle quickly backed away from the wreath. When she finally made out Evelyn's name on the note that came with the wreath, she began shrieking at the top of her lungs."It's Evelyn! That bitch was the one who had the wreath delivered here just to place a curse on Grandpa! He was still fine after eating the seafood soup I made! He must have gotten so pissed that he coughed out blood right after he spotted that cursed wreath!"Caspian busied himself with patting Kurt on the back, trying to help him regulate his breathing. The moment he heard Giselle's words, he quickly found an outlet for his alarm and panic.With bloodshot eyes, he started yelling at the funeral wreath. "Evelyn Mercer is such an ungrateful wretch! We took her in and provided for her over the past five years, and this is how she repays us? By

But the moment he saw Giselle helping Kurt onto the stage, his expression changed.Kurt was smiling and greeting the guests, his face flushed, but Samuel could immediately tell something was terribly wrong.Kurt’s forehead held a dull cast, yet his complexion was abnormally rosy. The black vine at the base of his neck had spread behind his ears.Samuel pushed through the crowd and rushed onto the stage. "Mr. Mercer Senior! Your face is rosy, and that black vine has spread past your ears! The poison has reached your heart! This sudden improvement is just a final burst of energy before death!"Have you stopped taking the medicine Evelyn gave you t
