"What do you think?" The man raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on her. Although there was no anger in his eyes, Quincy felt an overwhelming pressure that made her feel somewhat guilty. "Who knows what you're talking about! Move aside! Or I'm calling the cops."Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
With that, Quincy tried to leave.
But the man simply stretched out his hand, barely exerting any effort, and easily blocked her way.
"Quincy, need I remind you of something?" He curved his lips into a slight smirk. "Poison."
"I... I don't know what you're talking about!"
"The poison you slipped to Dorothy. Hand over the antidote."
Seeing Quincy's refusal to confess, the man made his intention clear.
"What poison, what antidote, are you crazy?! What do I have to do with you? Keep this up, and I'II—"
"I'll call the police," the man interjected calmly. "Go ahead, call them. Then when they ask why I'm stopping you, I'll tell them you poisoned Dorothy, intending to commit murder."
"Let's see who walks out of the police station then."
Quincy realized his intention was all about Dorothy.
He must have confirmed that she was the one who poisoned Dorothy. Denying it further would be futile! All she wanted was to get away from this man and go back to making soup for Everett. "What do you want? Just spit it out."
"The antidote." The man extended his hand.
Quincy scoffed. "What's in it for me if I give you the antidote? Even if you take Dorothy to the hospital right now, the doctors won't detect the poison I used! You have no evidence to prove anything." The man raised an eyebrow, pondering for a moment before speaking, "What do you want in return?"
"I want Dorothy to disappear from Everett's life forever."
To Quincy, Dorothy was no longer a rival in love.
She hadn't readily provided the antidote not just because she wanted to marry Everett.
Once she became the recognized Mrs. Lopez of the Lopez family, Dorothy would pose no

"You want me to take Dorothy away?"
"Yes!" Quincy didn't hesitate and nodded. "Didn't you say you liked Dorothy? Perfect, consider it a favor! I'll give you the antidote, and you can use it to keep Dorothy away from Everett!"
She had it all planned out.
Even if Everett found out later, she had an excuse.
She would claim she sold the
medicine to this man, and he was the one who poisoned Dorothy absolving herself of any
responsibility!
The man seemed quite intrigued by her proposal.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"This poison... has such uses?"
"Of course! With this in hand, unless Dorothy wishes to risk her life, she'll have to do as you say."
Though Quincy no longer saw Dorothy as a significant threat, she and Everett had a past.
There was a child between them, an unbreakable bond.
Managing Everett alone was already a handful for her; she had no time to worry about Dorothy. Now that someone willingly offered to help, why wouldn't she be pleased?
