Chapter 522
The bodyguard who was shadowing Ms. Vicky Barry sent Darion Blackburn a message, saying he’d spotted her spending a lot of time with a middle-aged woman.
The woman lived out in the nearby countryside, and her yard was packed with all kinds of unusual plants.
The bodyguard picked some leaves and had them tested. It turned out they were all medicinal herbs.
Darion’s eyes darkened as he ordered Ryan, “Take a team over there and bring her in.”
“Yes, sir,” Ryan replied.
Ryan nodded and turned to leave.
The middle-aged woman was named Rona Taylor. When she was brought in, she was trembling all over, looking terrified and completely on edge.
Ryan reported, “Mr. Blackburn, we’ve questioned her. She did develop the poison, but there’s currently no antidote for the one Miya has.”
Darion’s face darkened instantly. “Why is there no antidote?”
Rona Taylor replied nervously, “It’s my latest experiment… I haven’t made an antidote for it yet.”
As soon as she finished, the atmosphere in the room turned tense. Rona shivered, her voice shaky: “I’ll try to make the antidote as soon as possible, but you have to pay me for it!”
Darion stared at her with icy indifference. “How much do you want?”
Rona’s eyes flicked around nervously. “150 thousand dollars! If you don’t pay, I’m not making the antidote. I’ll just go to jail. I’m alone anyway, so I don’t care about anything!”
Darion asked coldly, “How long will it take to make the antidote?”
Rona grinned. “So you’re agreeing?”
Ryan let out a cold laugh. “Just answer the question! How long will it take?”
Rona flinched, her smile disappearing. “At least ten days, maybe two weeks.”
Darion ordered, “Keep an eye on her. Don’t let her get away.”
“Yes, sir,” Ryan replied.
Even as Rona was being taken away, she shouted, “Don’t forget to pay me 150 thousand dollars!”
When Ryan came back, he was holding Rona’s file. “This woman’s a real genius. She didn’t even finish grade school, but she can identify all kinds of medicinal herbs.
“She said she started making poisons just to kill rats and bugs, but once people began buying from her, she got serious and started specializing in it.”

How did Vicky meet her? Darion asked in a low, dangerous voice
Ryan replied, Vicky came to Oakwood, passed by her house and took a break there During their conversation, she learned about her poisons and ended up purchasing a bunch from her
Darion’s gaze turned icy, a menacing chill radiating from him.
Search Vicky for all the poison she has and destroy it,” Darion commanded.
“Yes, sir, Ryan replied.
The antidote Miya gave Keith could only keep the poison at bay for now. It was just a temporary solution She didn’t actually have a true antidote to fully cure him.
When Darion Blackburn returned to Blackburn Manor, Miya Smith trembled with fear as soon as she saw him. Without a word, she quickly turned and rushed back to her room.
Keith was curled up on the couch, his little body looking even more frail than before. His face was still pale, and he kept coughing from time to time.
“Darry,” Keith called out in a weak voice.
Darion sat down beside him, gently cupping Keith’s check. “How are you feeling? Is anything bothering
