Oliver stood there, clutching a medical kit, right by Josefina's side. All eyes were glued to Josefina, eager to hear what she'd say next. Oliver was just as curious—would she trust him?
Josefina glanced at the three tied-up individuals before her, her eyes twinkling like black olives as she smiled, "Since I've decided to be with Oliver, of course, I trust him. As for you lot, I wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark out of your mouths."
Oliver's usually stern face broke into a wide grin, his expression softening with relief and joy. "Josie, I've got the kit," he said, holding it up while his eyes burned with admiration for Josefina.
She returned his gaze with a bright smile, one that seemed to light up the entire room. Meanwhile, Sydney, Shay, and Dominic looked utterly defeated. Josefina's decision to trust Oliver meant their plans had hit a dead end, leaving them both frustrated and furious.
Josefina turned her attention back to them, her smile unwavering as she addressed Sydney, "Hand over the mother beetle, and I might just let you walk out of here alive."
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Sydney retorted, turning her head away defiantly.
"Is that so?" Josefina's voice shifted to a stern tone, "If you're not going to hand it over willingly, then I'll just have to extract it myself."
Reaching into the medical kit, Josefina pulled out a small bottle. "Oliver, give Sydney this pill."
With a nod from Oliver, two of his guards stepped forward—one grabbed Sydney's jaw, the other forced the pill into her mouth. As the pill went down, Shay and Dominic's expressions turned to sheer terror.
Sydney, unable to free her bound hands, tried in vain to make herself vomit. Soon, she was writhing on the ground, screams of agony escaping her lips.
Watching Sydney's torment left Shay and Dominic cowering in fear. After what felt like an eternity, Sydney's cries faded, and she lay there, drenched in sweat, black blood trickling from her mouth.
