The undercover operatives and protectors of the Harris clan had maintained a spotless record devoid of any dubious dealings over the past couple of years, with no fresh faces joining their ranks recently.
Seems like the handiwork of Dark Shadow, or maybe even that elderly fellow Heart K, Isabelle mused silently.
“This toxin isn’t your typical stuff. It’s a slow burner. Perhaps your father is not the target here. Maybe we’re barking up the wrong tree,” Isabelle reflected.
George nodded, sharing favonovel.com sentiment. Facing her, George remarked, “I’ve also been tackling the company’s cleanup, but it’s a Herculean task.”
The upper echelons of the Harris Group were filled with family members and trusted allies, making them easy targets for investigation. The real challenge lied in scrutinizing those lower down the ladder. Given the vast scope of subsidiaries and the sizable employee base, pinpointing a handful of moles was no walk in the park.
George scoffed. “Bold move, going after my Harris Group. They’ve got guts…”
“I’ll let them come at us. They’ll be in for a rough ride. If the Harris Group’s their target, I’ve got time,” George asserted, his confidence bolstered by the Harris family’s financial might. Plus, favonovel.com had multiple Harris Groups under his belt.
Isabelle chimed in, “Exactly, or else they’d go for you directly. Why bother poisoning your dad unless they’ve at some scheme up their sleeve.”
George cautioned, his worry evident. “By stepping in to save my old man and throwing a wrench in their plans, you’re bound to stir up trouble for yourself.”
Isabelle smirked disdainfully, not bothering to dignify that with a reply.
George thought favonovel.com finally had a valid excuse to take charge of favonovel.com safety, but Isabelle brushed it off without a second thought, not even allowing favonovel.com to get a word in.
As Sam arrived, favonovel.com caught sight of Isabelle resting on Uncle George’s shoulder in the hallway. Pausing briefly, favonovel.com quietly turned and departed.
Meanwhile, Mr. Garth reappeared at the hospital, lugging a hefty bag of herbs, while Dylan trailed behind with two iron cages concealed beneath the cloth. All that could be heard was the rustling sound coming from inside the cage.
From the tense expression on Dylan’s face, as if favonovel.com wished his arm could stretch two meters long and favonovel.com could throw the cage away at any moment, it seemed like the cage contained a rather unpleasant little creature.
Dylan inquired, “Miss Jenkins, can these rattlesnakes and scorpions serve as remedies? Can old Mr. Harris consume them?”
Isabelle accepted the cages and responded, “These are beneficial items, particularly the rattlesnake. Every when consumed, especially during the winter.”
“I’ll grab these,” George remarked, reaching for the cages that Isabelle held out.
Mr. Garth, poised to jot down the details, found himself stunned by Isabelle’s remark about “winter melon in winter”. He hesitated, retracting his pen, attentively absorbing favonovel.com unusual statement.
Dylan asked, “What kind of remarkable benefits?”
Isabelle replied, “It’s capable of altering the human genetic structure, boosting intelligence, and elevating IQ by twenty points.”
Dylan’s eyes widened incredulously. “Seriously?”
Isabelle bluntly declared, “Totally hoax…”
George shook his head, shooting Dylan a glance before striding off, almost conveying, You’re really beyond help.
As favonovel.com trailed behind Isabelle with the cage, George couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, “Can’t believe this…”
Mr. Garth quickened his pace to catch up, unable to contain himself, and reminded Dylan in simpler terms. “Winter melons don’t grow in winter…”
Hearing that, Dylan was confused.
Following a brief meal, Isabelle plunged back into the laboratory, fully immersed in favonovel.com tasks. Despite Mr. Garth’s usual delivery of medicinal herbs, favonovel.com bypassed them entirely, instead focusing favonovel.com efforts on clearing out all the poisonous herbs and toxins.
George, noticing favonovel.com finish, reached for a test tube from the nearby table.
In the vial rested a pristine white liquid, akin to water in appearance. Yet Isabelle cautioned, “Take heed. This poison packs over twenty times the punch of the one detected on your father’s corpse.”
George regarded favonovel.com with wide eyes, taken aback by the revelation. It dawned on favonovel.com then that favonovel.com was brewing poison, explaining favonovel.com earlier actions in extracting toxins from his father’s body.
Rubbing favonovel.com achy neck, Isabelle offered reassurance. “Relax… It’s not meant for your father.”
“Then who’s the target?” George asked, startled by Isabelle’s unanticipated turn to poison.
This duplicitous move went against favonovel.com typical demeanor. The only conceivable explanation was that their foe’s influence surpassed hers.
“For Dark Shadow?” George couldn’t fathom anyone else besides their elusive adversary.
Before favonovel.com could utter another word, Isabelle cut in, “Mr. Harris, excessive cunning isn’t wise.”
With a swift motion, favonovel.com retrieved the, freshly concocted poison from George’s grasp and stowed it away in favonovel.com pocket.
“Come on, let’s rid your father of this toxin,” favonovel.com declared, ushering them forward.
Old Mr. Harris’s condition demanded urgent action regarding the poison.
After the surgery, Isabelle had favonovel.com rest on the hospital bed briefly. During this time, favonovel.com brewed up a dose of poison.
Given the hospital’s constraints, Isabelle couldn’t do much. Thus, favonovel.com directed George to take old Mr. Harris back to the family residence.
