"Have you been planning this with the Landry family?"
Adrian lowered his gaze but did not reply.
Granny Lynch was so agitated that she could not stop coughing and finally spat out a mouthful of blood. " Adrian Lynch! If you don’t answer me right now, I'll kick you out of the house!"
As soon as he heard this, Adrian furrowed his brows and lifted his head to meet Granny Lynch's gaze." You're right. I got this poison from Aura, and I was the one who poisoned you according to Aura's instructions."
He shrugged and plopped down in the seat across from Granny. "Aura said that the Landrys are still angry at you for chasing them out of Banyan City in the past, so they sent Aura back to take revenge.
"Therefore, as long as I cooperate with Aura and administer poison into your food, then take a video of your ill state, Aura will be able to show it to the Landrys and accomplish her mission."
With that, he shrugged nonchalantly and added, "Aura even said that she has the antidote to this, but she wants to wait until a critical moment before she brings out the antidote. As soon as she does, you'll get better after taking the antidote and resting for a few years. Meanwhile, she can bring the recording back to
the Landrys and show them what she accomplished."
Adrian placed his hands on the sofa armrest and said triumphantly, "Isn't this the best outcome?"
Granny Lynch clenched her hands into fists. "The best outcome?"
How could he say this so casually?
Since Aura belonged to the Landry family, Granny Lynch knew exactly what kind of people they were, having interacted with them so many times in the past.
Would Aura really bring out the antidote, even though she claimed she would?
