NovelEnglishJudy's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for Zack to catch every word outside the door.
This was clearly her first tdoing something like this, as she had forgotten to check if the door was locked in
her panic, which was a foolish mistake.
Zack was utterly horrified by what he overheard. He couldn't believe that his mother, who wouldn't even dare
slaughter a chicken, was capable of doing something so terrifying.
Even though she was doing it for his benefit, Zack knew better than anyone that even if he got the shares, Bill
would surely cafter him.
He was just a clueless young man. Even if he held onto those shares, what could he do with them?
He'd still end up being manipulated by his father. Besides, if he took the shares, Angela would undoubtedly
target him. He wanted to stay on her good side so that she would support him, not becher enemy. And most
importantly, what Judy was doing was a crime!
How could he stand by and watch his own mother commit such a mistake?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDetermined, Zack clenched his teeth, burst into the room, and locked the door behind him.
"Zack, what are you doing here? Get out!" Judy was startled but forced herself to stay calm.
As for Bill, he saw Zack as his last hope, desperately reaching out to him. "Son, save me! Your mom poisoned
me! She's trying to kill me!"
"Mom, how could you be so reckless?" Zack sighed deeply, quickly helping Bill up. "Dad, I'll take you to the
hospital, but you can't turn against Mom. Just say you accidentally ingested poison-whatever you say, you just
cannot get Mom in trouble."
Bill, who was currently clinging to life, couldn't be bothered about anything else. He nodded hastily. "Don't worry.
I won't."
"Are you insane?" Judy shoved her son hard. "Do you even know what you're doing? I'm fighting for your future!
You fool! How could | have given birth to someone so useless?"
"Enough! You're going to be the death of me!" Zack snapped angrily.
In the end, Judy couldn't overpower her son and could only watch as he helped Bill to the hospital.
At the hospital, the doctors pumped Bill's stomach, but it wasn't enough to fully remove the poison. To save his
life, they needed the antidote.
Judy stubbornly refused to hand over the antidote, outright claiming she hadn't bought it. This infuriated Zack.
After much thought, he called Angela in the end, briefly explaining the situation and asking her to cover.
It was early morning, and Angela wasn't even awake yet. Nonetheless, the moment she heard Zack's
explanation, she was instantly wide awake.
Coincidentally, Dexter was just about to go for a morning run when he noticed her troubled expression and
insisted on accompanying her to the hospital.
Angela relented, thinking one more person meant more help. On the way, she explained the situation to him.
Dexter said, "You could take this chance to get Bill's shares. After all, if he doesn't give them to you, they'll just
end up in that good-for-nothing Zack's hands anyway."
At the hospital, Zack—the "good-for-nothing"—Ilit up the moment he saw them, rushing over and grabbing
Angela's arm in relief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You're finally here, Angie!" He was on the verge of tears, a clear sign of how chaotic things had been.
"Alright, alright. Let go of me," Angela said, pushing him away with a look of disdain. "Taketo see Dad."
In the hospital room, Bill lay on the bed, barely clinging to life. The stomach pumping had almost done him in.
"Angela... Angela, you're here. Save me.." Bill understood that his son was unreliable, and the only people who
could actually help now were Angela and Dexter.
"What exactly happened?" Angela questioned, frowning.
Zack had only told her that Judy had poisoned Bill but hadn't gone into detail
about the reason.
