Chapter 534
Although K had been affiliated with Jack for many years, he was still over 20 years older and could read some of his thoughts.
K had always known that Jack was ruthless, but he wasn’t sure just how deeply he felt about Ms. Wilson. He wondered when Jack’s patience would completely wear thin and when he would use direct methods instead of weaving a complex web as he was doing now.
Jack put the medicine bottle into his suit pocket and stood up under K’s probing gaze. “I’m leaving.”
K asked, “What about the next steps?”
“Your priority…” Jack glanced towards the courtyard and coldly reminded him. “Is to immediately move your people to another location.”
“Move?” K frowned. “The Smith family has already searched this place. It’s much safer here than anywhere else.”
Jack tossed the remaining half of his cigar into the ashtray and said with displeasure, “Do you think Frank is easy to deal with?”
“Do you think he can’t think of things you can?”
With that, Jack checked the time and warned, “You have at most ten minutes left. Since Jeswood is the Smith family’s territory, you’d better keep a low profile until your forces have completely withdrawn.”
After Jack left, K was somewhat skeptical of his words, but to be safe, he decided to move his men to a
different location.
Before returning to the country, K had purchased several properties. On the way, he still felt that Jack might be overthinking things.
Just as he was feeling a bit dismissive, his subordinate reported, “K, the people we left at Sky Island Villa sent word that Frank’s men have indeed come back to search again.”
K was astonished. Checking the time, it was exactly ten minutes, not a second more or less. This Jack was indeed calculating.
As evening approached, the door to the emergency room finally opened.
The doctor’s expression was not good. “Mr. Smith…”
My heart sank. Frank reassuringly squeezed my shoulder and said to the doctor, “Just tell us straight out what’s going on with my grandma.”
“The patient… has regained consciousness.”
The doctor hesitated before continuing, “But there is indeed poison in her body. However, no one has been able to identify exactly what kind of poison it is.”
I clenched my fists. “Is the poison severe? What kind of effects will it have on the body?”
Hearing this, the doctor’s face relaxed a little. “It appears to be a slow–acting poison for now, and it hasn’t yet caused any significant effects on Madam Shaw’s body.”

I asked quickly, “Is there any way to detoxify?”
After all, given that K was hostile, even if it didn’t have an effect now, it might in the future. The only solution was to detoxify as soon as possible.
“At present…”
