"Tell us Mr. Killian's schedule," said Dylan seriously.
Standing next to him, Dora nodded. "After our plan succeeds, you'll earn some benefits!"
Douglas scratched. When he heard that, he was enraged. Esther was too evil. How could she use her children to this extent?
Douglas was itching all over his body, and the skin at the back of his hands was about to peel off due to the scratching. He clicked into a file in his phone and passed his phone to the two kids. "This is Mr. Killian's schedule for this week. Hurry up and go through it. Then, give me the antidote."
Dylan grabbed the phone and read through the document quickly, memorizing it. Meanwhile, Dora pulled out her phone and took a photo, saving it in the gallery.
"Thank you. You're a good man. Here's the antidote." Dora gave the white bottle to Douglas. Then, she and Dylan ran down the stairs.
Douglas opened the bottle and took a sniff. Inside the bottle was a colorless and odorless liquid. "Should I apply it on my skin or consume it?" he asked while leaning on the handrail.
Dora answered him from afar, "It's up to you how you want to use it. Half an hour later, the itching will stop."
Douglas was stunned. What the heck?
"Really?"
What responded to him was the gradually fading sound of the kids' footsteps and joyful laughter. Did he just get fooled by two kids? If word spread, Johnson and the others would laugh at him for a whole month.
"Mr. Copley." At this time, the door to the stairwell was suddenly pushed open. It was Giselle.
Upon seeing her, Douglas frowned and asked, "What brings you here?"
Giselle hadn't made any progress in her piano practice. When she heard that Bernard was here, she deliberately took a trip here. However, she couldn't see Bernard in the banquet hall. Then, she learned from the staff that Douglas had gone to the stairwell. Hence, she came here to check it out.
She didn't expect to bump into Hera's children here with Douglas. Since the two kids were here, they had to be looking for Bernard.
If Bernard found out that Hera had given birth to his children, Giselle would be doomed. She had to make them leave Jedburgh as soon as possible.
