Still alive? And they even got their hands on the antidote? D*mn it. What the hell is Cadence doing? It was such a good opportunity, but he still lost to Bailey. What a useless man!
Felicity reacted differently from her. Once she heard what her daughter said, she began struggling to get off.
Caridee rushed over to press down on her shoulders and said with a smile, “Mom, just rest at home. Dad has said to not let you go anywhere and make sure you wait at home.”
Felicity instantly grabbed her daughter's wrist and stammered, “Are the two kids fine? Are the toxins out of their body?”
“Yes, yes.” Caridee smiled at her mother and happily said, “Not only are Zayron and Susan fine, but Max even woke up from his coma.”
Felicity froze, clearly needing time to process what Caridee just said. Then, she began shaking. “Caridee, what did you say? Max is awake too?”
“Yes! Max is awake. Your precious grandson is awake.”
While she spoke, Caridee glanced at Rhonda from the corner of her eyes. It was then she saw the scrunched-up features and ferocious look on Rhonda's face. Caridee's heart sank.
Maxton's awakening did not seem to be joyous news for Rhonda. On the contrary, she seemed furious.
But why? Isn't Max her biological son?
“He's awake. He's awake,” Felicity muttered under her breath. Once she came back to her senses, she grabbed Rhonda's arm and cried out, “Ronni, did you hear her? The three kids are all fine, and your son has woken up from his coma!”
Rhonda was about to implode from the fury, but she still slapped a look of pleasant surprise on her face. “Yes, I heard her. I knew that the Luther children would be fine.”
At that, Caridee rolled her eyes.
This woman changes her attitude as quickly as a revolving door. Why didn't I realize how pretentious she was in the past? I was blinded by her fake gentle appearance back then.
The next day, the police published an announcement on their official website: World-infamous drug refiner Cadence White, who had been refining drugs in an abandoned factory at Hallsbay, has been found dead after accidentally coming into contact with toxins.
The moment the news was published, the entire world was stunned.
To the outsiders, Cadence was an extreme madman who acted strangely. Hence, they were not too shocked that he was killed by the toxins he was developing.
However, when Rhonda saw the news, she hurried back to the Jefferson residence anxiously.
In the living room at the Jefferson residence.
“Ronni, calm down. Cadence's death might be a good thing for you. You can finally get out of his control. Anyway, you're aiming for the status of Mrs. Luther. You're above so many other people in Hallsbay, so what are you worried about?”
“But... But I'm scared that old man's going to reveal the unsightly things I've done with him. If Artemis finds out that I've been cheating on him, he's going to skin me alive!”
“Calm down.” Beatrice grabbed Rhonda's hand and consoled her, “If Artemis had really found out about this, he would have rushed to the Luther residence to kick you out of the family. Weren't you fine the entire night? I'd say that Cadence died before he could spill any beans.”
