The Scorned Heiress's Hidden Empire (by Jade Quinn) novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388

She had never been the one in control.

Chris had set this trap for her from the very beginning.

When the bodyguard brought her food, she demanded again and again to call Gavin.

The call finally went through, and she questioned him immediately. “Where’s the antidote?”

“When Mr. Xander wants you to take it, he’ll give it to you,” Gavin said evenly.

Skyla’s hoarse voice rose sharply. “You lied to me, didn’t you?”

“The page you showed me was fake, wasn’t it? He never clarified anything about him and Winter, did he?”

Her hysterical questions were met only by Gavin’s even colder voice.

“Think whatever you want.”

Skyla gritted her teeth. “Gavin!”

The line went dead.

The bodyguard took the phone away.

She collapsed to the floor, her mind racing. Chris had set up this trap to find out whether she really had the antidote. Now that he had it, why had he still not given it to her?

Did someone else need the antidote?

Mrs. Xander Sr. was already dead. Winter had been pregnant, but the child had taken the disaster for her, and the child was gone.

So there should be no one left who needed it.

Skyla closed her eyes.

It had been quite a while since the bodyguard had come in with dinner. By now, it should be completely dark outside.

She touched the old scar on her wrist, the one left from when she had cut herself years ago.

A chip had been implanted beneath it.

A tracking chip.

If that person couldn’t reach her, he would definitely guess that something had happened to her. They were in this together. She held the key to an enormous fortune, and there was no way he would abandon her.

Suddenly, she felt a faint sting in her wrist.

A cold light flashed through her eyes.

Winter was driving toward Roy’s house when her phone suddenly rang inside her bag.

In the car following behind Winter, one of the bodyguards asked in confusion, “Wasn’t Ms. Scott going to see Zion’s friend? This isn’t the way, is it?”
