Chapter 1688
Sean chuckled as he realized that the girl wasn’t just gutsy and clever but also somewhat formidable in
her own right.
“I know my own body pretty well.”
Even though he had been hit last night, it wasn’t serious enough to cause such severe symptoms.
Since the girl had described the timing and symptoms so clearly, he was curious to see if things would
unfold as she had predicted tonight.
“Excuse us,” Arabella said as she and Horace left with an air of dignity.
“Sean.”
Steward was about to question his boss's decision to let them walk away so freely when he noticed
Sean's smile. Didn’t Sean seriously believe that girl’s words?
“Sean, did you really cough up blood last night?” Steward asked with genuine concern.
“It’s nothing.”
Sean shooed the tiger cub away to play and slowly stood up to head upstairs.
His answer shocked Steward. So, he really did cough up blood? And the girl predicted it? Was she
really that miraculous? How could she possibly know with such certainty?
Thinking it over, it seemed that the two of them were the only ones who could show up at the place
unscathed and leave just as peacefully.
As Horace followed Arabella out of the house, the usually playful hounds all sat down neatly, wagging
their tails and watching them leave. Their behavior couldn’t have been more obedient.
Horace could hardly believe it, and even as they left the villa’s front yard, he looked back a few times in
disbelief.
The furry little creatures were still sitting quietly, showing no signs of chasing after them.
“Boss, those dogs didn’t chase us, and neither did the people. You’re incredible,” Henry's admiration for
her grew. To leave from Sean’s clutches unscathed and to make those little guys so well-behaved.
“Oh right, boss, how did you know Sean coughed up blood last night?”
“I was the one who hit him; how could I not know?”
Arabella had struck with considerable force the night before, and with Sean already injured, it was only
natural for him to cough up blood.
“Forget about them, I think you’re amazing.” Henry glanced back again, lowering his voice to whisper,
“So, boss, are the symptoms you mentioned really going to happen tonight?”
“They will.”
Arabella’s confident reply left Horace even more puzzled, “Sean’s really that badly hurt? It sounds
pretty grim.”
“He’s hurt, but not so bad that surgery is immediately necessary.”
They could even wait another month or two if they had to.
“But you managed to convince him to have the surgery in the next couple of days and sell you the
island,” Henry found his boss to be quite extraordinary.
“I slipped something into his drink earlier, so tonight, at the times I mentioned, the drug will take effect.”
He would experience the symptoms she described: breathlessness, choking, coughing up blood, and
so on.
“You did what?!” Henry’s eyes bulged, and he quickly looked back to make sure no one was following
before whispering, “Boss, you actually drugged their leader right in front of them? You’re so bold. But if
those doctors replace out tonight.”
“What of it? Without the antidote, they'll have to come to us.”

drug wasn’t toxic and wouldn’t endanger lives; it would just make one suffer a bit. Without this move,
neither of them would be able to leave tonight unharmed. She could tell that Steward had been itching
to catch her more than once.
“But Sean is no pushover. If he replaces out we played him like this, even after the surgery, we’re not going
to escape so easily.”
“When the time comes, I’ll replace a way out.”
Henry hadn’t realized his boss had an escape plan all figured out, and his admiration for her deepened.
