Chapter 1234 Nowhere Near Being Even
As Jewel said that, she reached for the poisoned dart and swiped it across Phantom’s arm.
Phantom tried to dodge, but her injured state caused her reaction to be significantly slower. A sharp pain surged through her, causing her body to break out in a cold sweat.
Despite the pain, she dared not cry out. Just as Jewel had warned, the police questioned her yesterday about Damian’s murder. If she alerted the police now, she would have a difficult time explaining the multitude of darts and their corresponding antidotes in her house. It would essentially be an admission that she was responsible for Damian’s death.
At this moment, all she wished for was for Jewel to quickly take the antidote and leave.
Yet, Jewel continued her experimentation, applying another powder to the fresh wound she had just inflicted on Phantom’s arm and carefully observing her reaction.
Desperately, Phantom pleaded, “This is the real antidote. How can I deceive you when you’re testing it on me?”
“You’re cunning and ruthless. I wouldn’t put anything past you. I don’t trust you.”
The mixture of the two poisons on the wound on Phantom’s face caused an intense burning sensation, leaving her feeling agitated and distraught. She could feel her face swelling up. To make matters worse, Jewel kept on nagging, preventing her from even attempting to detoxify herself.
“How can I make you believe me?”
“Just wait a little longer. If I don’t see any side effects on you, then I’ll believe what you told me,” Jewel calmly replied, sitting across from Phantom.
