Hazel said it in an attempt to calm him.
“Fine! I’ll trust you one more time!” Zeke said angrily.

Footsteps quickly approached, and before long, Thaddeus came out with a group of people behind him.
“Grandpa, please save Zeke! You’re the only one who can save him now!” Roxanne dropped to her knees on the spot, the impact so hard that the skin split and blood seeped through.
“Really? And why am I the only one who can save him?” Thaddeus asked with interest.
“Because only you have the life-saving drug…”
Thaddeus burst out laughing. Wendy and Sadie laughed along with him.
“So you’ve finally shown your true face. Did you really think we didn’t know you had your eye on the drug
this whole time?” he sneered.
Everyone in the family already knew why Roxanne had come, and none of them bothered to hide their
contempt.
“You want the life-saving drug? Impossible! As for wanting a life-fine, I can let you keep that!” Thaddeus
roared.
Roxanne’s face instantly drained of all color. The firmness in his refusal was far beyond anything she had expected.
Seeing this, Hazel and Anya also dropped to their knees, even pulling Zeke down with them. Zeke hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he kneeled too, though the humiliation made his face stiffen.
“Old Mr. Leighton, you have two life-saving drugs. Why can’t you spare one to save Zeke? Saving a life is more important than anything. You’re a master of medicine-you should understand that better than anyone!” Hazel pleaded.
“That’s right! Old Mr. Leighton, didn’t you say that if Roxanne agreed to marry Evan, you’d make her the next head of the family? Now, she doesn’t even want the position anymore-she’s only asking for one life- saving drug!” Anya added.
But even as all four of them kneeled before him, Thaddeus remained unmoved. A mocking smile even appeared on his face. “Do you really think we’re refusing because we simply don’t want to give it? Wrong. It’s because this wretched girl already tried to steal it a long time ago!”
Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya felt as if their souls had been blasted out of their bodies. Roxanne in particular collapsed to the ground, then jerked her head up and stared at Thaddeus in disbelief. ‘So you knew everything?’
“Bring the surveillance footage!”

Soon, a laptop was brought out. On the screen, 12 video windows were displayed side by side, each one showing Roxanne rummaging through drawers and cabinets, searching for the life-saving drug.
They were completely stunned. Hazel and Anya were frozen in shock, while Roxanne looked as if her world had completely shattered.
‘That means everything I did was under Grandpa’s watch this whole time? Oh my goodness…’
A chill spread through her body, shot up to her scalp, and then ran through all her limbs. It wasn’t just because her attempt to steal the life-saving drug had been exposed-it was because all hope of obtaining it was gone.
