Chapter 1213
The storm outside was raging, its howling winds and pounding rain enough to race any heart. Tanya
worried for the little boat she had been working on, afraid that the tempest might tear it apart or sweep
it off into the merciless sea. All her hard work would be for naught. Yet, stepping outside was out of the
question. She could easily be swept away herself to a watery grave.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, the sun was shining, and the breeze was mild.
Lisbeth made her way to the sanatorium. "Agent A, I've got good news. We've concocted the antidote."
Agent A lit up his eyes like fireworks. "Give me that antidote, quick."
Lisbeth stood to the side, her gaze icy as winter frost.
"I can give it to you," she said, "But I've got a condition."
"What's the catch?"
"Tell me where Raines is," Lisbeth demanded.
Agent A let out a snort, the corner of his mouth curling into a sardonic smile. "Do you have a crush on
that guy? Planning to double-cross me and the boss?"
Lisbeth produced a small vial from her pocket, its crimson liquid swirling inside.
"The antidote's right here. Spill the beans, and it's yours. As long as Raines is safe, you can leave
without a scratch."
Agent A twitched his face, a vein throbbing with tension. "You think I'm an idiot? If Raines comes back,
do you think I'd have a snowball's chance in hell?"
"If you don't tell me where he is, I'll spill the beans to Leopold right now, let him know you're a fraud,"
threatened Lisbeth.
Agent A clenched his jaw hard enough to crack a molar. "You breathe a word, and Raines is as good
as dead."
Lisbeth hummed lowly. "You're lying there like a broken doll. Do you think you can still pull strings? I
reckon the boss has written you off. Otherwise, why has no one come looking for you? To him, you're
just another pawn sacrificed."
His complexion turned a sickly shade. "You're getting too bold for your good. Are you itching for a death C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
wish?"
"It's you who should be worried," Lisbeth retorted. "Your time's ticking away. You'd better think hard."
"You fucking bitch. Don't bully me just because I can't move. Wanna bet I can make sure you never see
another sunrise?" Agent A's words were laced with venom.
Before he could finish, Lisbeth tossed the vial of antidote into the trash with a definitive snap.
"That was the only hard-won dose. If you don't want it, fine by me. It's not me who'll be lying in bed,
half-paralyzed and useless. Once you're no longer valuable, the boss won't think twice about ditching
you. The AK Group has no use for the dead weight."
Agent A shook with fury. "You pick that up right now, or I swear I'll end you."
Lisbeth grabbed his throat. "Right now, I'm the only one who could finish you, and you couldn't lay a
finger on me."
Agent A ground his teeth. "Don't forget, I'm still Mr. Raines of the Stirling family. You kill me, and the
Stirling family will have your head."
Just then, the door to the room swung open, and Aurelia stepped in.
"What's going on here, Lisbeth? You two have a spat?"
Agent A swallowed hard. "Aurelia, Lisbeth just told me the antidote's ready. Let's get it working, yeah?"
Agent A bit back his frustration. "Lisbeth is playing hard to get again, giving me the cold shoulder."
Aurelia settled onto a nearby sofa. "So do you agree to her terms?" New chąpter avąilable oո

Agent A stiffened. "What do you mean?"
Aurelia cut straight to the chase. "Where's Raines?"
