Angelica snapped, “This is all your doing, Curtis. If you’d just failed to handle Victoria, that would’ve been bad enough. But you couldn’t even cover your tracks and left evidence for that old fossil. Now we all have to suffer for it.

“Curtis, sometimes you’re more trouble than you’re worth. Not only are you stuck here, but you’ve dragged the whole family into your mess, making us pick up the pieces for you.”

Listening to Angelica, whose words were even nastier than yesterday, Curtis was so furious he felt like he might just explode.

She continued, “And it’s all your fault I broke up with Oliver. He’s the only son of the prestigious Cooke family.

“If it weren’t for you, I could’ve married him and become the future Mrs. Cooke. Do you even realize how important that is to me?”

Just bringing it up made Angelica seethe with rage, her teeth clenched in anger.

She barked, “I figured it out a long time ago. Mom and Dad only groomed me to marry into a powerful family, just like

Sirena.

“That’s why they focused on things like music, chess, and painting, never letting me learn anything about running a company. But honestly, I never cared about that stuff anyway.

“My biggest dream is to marry into a wealthy family and become a proper lady of high society.

“After I found out I wasn’t your real daughter or sister, I became even more determined. Marrying into a top–tier family is my only shot at turning my life around, so I can’t leave the Binder family.

“Staying here is the only way I can keep rubbing shoulders with the high society crowd.

“But now, because of you, I’ve missed yet another chance. Damn you, Curtis. Don’t you think you deserve it?”

She forced the words out through gritted teeth, her anger barely contained.

Curtis thought, ‘Damn me?‘

Hearing Angelica’s accusations, Curtis could only scoff coldly. ‘So all those years I cared for her mean nothing compared to her dream of marrying into money?

‘Angelica really is just an ungrateful brat. No matter how much you try, she’N never appreciate it.

Just like Victoria said, he really had been totally mistaken.

Curtis wondered, ‘After learning what Angelica’s mother had done, how could I ever think Angelica was innocent? Innocent? Angelica? Seriously?‘

She’d spent twenty years living in luxury because of her mother’s wrongdoing. Curtis only realized it now, and he’d hurt Victoria so many times, all because of Angelica.

‘Man, I really am an idiot. Seriously,‘ Curtis thought.

If only he could wake up–if heaven gave him one more shot–he’d do whatever it took to make things right with Victoria,

his real sister.

Curtis wondered, ‘How am I supposed to wake up? Why am I still conscious, but can’t wake up no matter what? This must be fate’s cruel payback for how I treated Victoria.

Chapter 107

Julia made her way slowly to the elevator, feeling completely drained. Just then, the elevator chimed and slid open right in front of her.

Julia was taken aback to see Simon step out of the elevator. “Simon? What are you doing at the hospital so late?

Simon looked exhausted. “I just wanted to see how Curtis is doing”

Julia let out a long sigh. “Alright, go ahead and check on your brother. Spend some time with him, talk to him a bit.

“Victoria just got here to look after Curtis, so with both of you around, he’ll probably feel a lot more at ease. I’m really exhausted. I’m heading home to rest.”

As she spoke, she rubbed her aching temples, her face etched with exhaustion.

Simon nodded. “Okay, Mom, you go home and get some rest. I’ll probably be here for a while, so I won’t be back anytime

soon.”

The sudden car accident had left the whole Binder family unable to find any peace.

Simon waited until the elevator doors closed behind his mother, then turned and walked toward Curtis’s hospital room.

Inside the hospital room, Angelica Binder kept rambling to herself, her mind spinning with schemes.

o knows if Victoria’s just bluffing, saying she can fix Jackson’s legs. If she really pulls it off and I can’t get Oliver on my

I’ll just circle back to Jackson,” she muttered.

efuse to believe it. There’s no way I can’t hook at least one of these two guys,” she scoffed.

Angelica’s mouth was dry from all her scheming, so she pulled out a bottle of imported bottled water and took a sip. Then,

took out her little folding makeup mirror, opened it, and took a look at her face.

She was quite pleased with her appearance. Even if there were a few flaws, her well–maintained complexion–thanks to twenty years of pampering in the Binder family–covered up any imperfections.

She used to maintain the image of a cultured woman. But if she let go of her pride and put in the effort, she believed she could win any man–as long as she offered enough value and emotional attention. After all, men thought with their lower halves.

After admiring her own beauty for a while, Angelica put the mirror back in her bag. Then she twisted open a tube of lipstick, revealing a small syringe hidden inside.

“Alright, Curtis, time for your shot tonight. Just keep sleeping. No need to deal with the chaos in our family right now. See? I’m still so considerate,” she smirked.

With that, she plunged the needle into Curtis’s wrist.

Curtis, fully conscious, felt a sharp sting in his wrist and instantly knew Angelica was injecting him with that stuff that kept him knocked out.

‘Damn it, you vicious little snake: Curtis cursed to himself. ‘Just like her mother–rotten genes, through and through.

Angelica was just about to inject Curtis with the clear liquid from the syringe.

Simon was speechless.

You better just shut up.‘ Simon thought.

But he didn’t dare mouth off to Victoria.

Victoria knew Simon was hunting for the “poison master” at Benwig City’s biggest auction house, so she asked on purpose, “I’m heading to the biggest auction house in Benwig City tonight. Want to come with me?”

Simon frowned, wary. “What are you going there for?”

Just yesterday, he’d had his people staking out the auction house, waiting for that mysterious, slippery poison master. And now, right at this critical moment, Victoria suddenly said she was going there too.

‘Could this really be just a coincidence?’ Simon thought. ‘Or is she scheming again, trying to sabotage my plans?”

Victoria shrugged, “I heard they’ve got all sorts of rare treasures there–stuff you can’t buy anywhere else. Now that I’m officially the Binder family’s real heiress, of course I want to go see what all the fuss is about.”

Simon’s expression darkened even more. He cut her off, “No way.”

‘Seriously? Who in their right mind would go with her?‘ Simon grumbled to himself. ‘Who knows what kind of trap she’ll set

for me this time?‘

Victoria shrugged. “Yeah, makes sense. If Brightstar Entertainment keeps flopping this month, you’ll have to hand it over to me next month anyway. You’ll be too busy to tag along to the auction house, so I’ll head there myself.”

Simon held back from snapping at her. “I’ve taken care of the herb garden for you. If that’s all, I’m heading out.”

Just as he was about to leave, Victoria called out, “Oh, and one more thing. Someone snuck into my room last night and started digging through my stuff. No idea what they were after. You know anything about that?”

Simon froze, a flicker of panic crossing his face, but he quickly regained his composure and denied it without hesitation. “How would I know?”

But Victoria caught that nervous look on his face.

She let out a soft laugh and teased, “Since you’re poisoned by me. Maybe you’re acting like a cornered dog, getting desperate enough to sneak in and try to steal the antidote?”

Simon’s face grew even darker at her “cornered dog” jab, and he was clearly hervous now that she’d guessed right. A thin sheen of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Simon gritted his teeth, trying to act tough. “Even if I wanted to steal it, I’d have to figure out what the antidote looks like first.”

Victoria’s lips curled into a sly, almost mocking smile. “Yeah, makes sense. My room’s a mess of all sorts of stuff.

“Some can pull you back from the brink of death, some are just good for your health, and some are straight–up lethal. Seriously, if someone grabs the wrong thing, they’re toast.

“Whoever thought sneaking into my room was a good idea must really not care about their life.”

Simon started sweating bullets, suddenly feeling pretty spooked. He kept his mouth shut.

Victoria waved him off. “Alright, you can go now.”
