Chapter 272 The Vault of Absolute Security

Originally, they hadn’t planned on taking the energy drug, but after Thaddeus’ reminder, Stefan and Cynthia couldn’t wait a second longer.

They immediately picked them up, ready to swallow them.

Even if they didn’t take them themselves, Hazel would steal them sooner or later and hand them over to Zeke. They already couldn’t stand the sight of him-there was no way they would let him get what he wanted.

Thaddeus’ body trembled slightly in response as another thought struck him—the life-saving drug. ‘If the energy drug could save Zeke, then the life-saving drug could too… This time, I absolutely can’t let Roxanne steal it. I need to keep a close eye on it…’

Very quickly, Stefan and Cynthia swallowed the pills. The effects spread almost instantly, and Thaddeus and Wendy stared at them without blinking.

Right before their eyes, the two underwent a complete transformation. Not only did they look decades younger, with their skin turning smooth and delicate, but their entire bodies seemed to surge with vitality.

Their blood and energy grew rich and vigorous. Even the strands of gray in their hair turned black in an instant. It was as though time itself were reversing for them.

Cynthia, who had always had a few minor ailments, suddenly felt completely healed. At the same time, her pores expelled dark impurities, as if her entire body had been cleansed from the inside out.

“This is unbelievable!” The Leightons gasped in shock.

Even Thaddeus’ eyes were filled with astonishment. After decades in medicine, he had never witnessed anything so miraculous. Evan was simply extraordinary.

Stefan and Cynthia themselves were equally stunned as they looked at the changes in their bodies. They had grown more than ten years younger-it was too drastic to comprehend.

Thank goodness they had taken the pills in advance. If Hazel had stolen them and given them to Zeke instead, they would have regretted it for the rest of their lives.

Watching how guarded Stefan and Cynthia were toward their own daughter, Thaddeus felt his suspicions harden. even further.

After leaving the Solberg Residence, he quickly pulled Wendy aside and whispered, “Wendy, take the life-saving medicine and store it in Blackcrest Bank’s Ametrine Vault. No matter the cost, just do it.”

Wendy blinked in confusion. “Why do we need to store it at Blackcrest Bank?”

Blackcrest Bank was the most unique bank in the country. Aside from regular financial services, it was famous for its storage business. Anything deposited there was guaranteed never to be lost.

Its security system was considered the best in the world, so dependable that people referred to it as absolute security.

Of course, that kind of protection came at a steep price. Storage fees ran into the tens of millions each year. Unless something was unimaginably valuable, most people would never even think of using it.

Thaddeus shot her a sideways glance. “Didn’t you see how Stefan was guarding against his own daughter? We need to be just as careful with Roxanne. What if she pulls the same stunt she did three years ago and raids the family vault again?”

That hit Wendy like a jolt.

Roxanne was a repeat offender–she had a history. One thing was one thing, but if Zeke ever got seriously ill again, what if she stole from the family vault to save him? Ordinary medicine would be one thing, but the life- saving drug was on a completely different level.

To be safe, storing it in Blackcrest Bank really was the best option.

“I’ll take care of it right away,” Wendy said, moving at once to handle the matter.

Meanwhile, Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya had no idea their own families had already started guarding against them.

Ever since the divorce, Hazel had been restless. Worried about her mother, she eventually returned home.

“Mom, are you alright–

But the moment she pushed the door open, her voice cut off abruptly.

Hazel froze on the spot as if she had just seen something impossible. Her eyes widened in shock as she blurted out, “Dad… Mom… are you really my parents?”

Deep down, she wondered, ‘What the hell… I’ve only been gone for a little while-how did they suddenly become so young?’

Standing before her were Stefan and Cynthia-at least ten years younger than she remembered. Their features, their presence, everything about them looked vibrant and youthful.
