Sloane's presence shifted in an instant. The slyness she’d shown just moments ago vanished completely. In its
place was something sharp, ruthless, and decisive-as if she had becsomeone else entirely.
She half-knelt over Lucas, one hand clamped tightly around his neck. A needle glinted coldly in the dim light,
protruding from her ring and resting precisely against his carotid artery. One slight movement, and the outcome
would be disastrous.
Andrew caught sight of the needle just in time. He pulled back and rolled to the side, springing to his feet and
locking his gaze on Sloane. His fists clenched, every muscle tense as he fought the urge to rush at her.
His
eyes narrowed into dangerous slits as he spoke in a low, cold voice. “Ms. Rivers, you must be joking. Even if not
for your own sake, you wouldn't risk harming Mr. Hawthorne-for the sake of the entire Rivers family.”
“Oh? You know who | am?” Sloane blinked in mock surprise, her threatening aura dissolving as she slipped back
into the role of a harmless young woman.
She turned to Lucas and offered a sweet smile. “Lucas, how about a deal? I'll let you go, and you tell him not to
yell. We'll talk things through, nice and calm.”
Lucas looked at her with unshaken calm, as if he didn’t care that she still had the upper hand. His voice was a
little weak but steady. “Alright.”
Sloane's lips curled into a wide grin. She let him go without hesitation.
She sat cross-legged beside him and made no move to leave.

Sloane rested her chin in one hand and tapped her cheek with a finger. She tilted
flicking smartly. “You called him back, didn’t you?” her head toward Lucas,

She must've been hiding under the covers when Lucas gave Andrew the signal to
return.

Lucas didn’t confirm or deny it. He simply glanced at her-an indifferent look that seemed to see straight through
her, yet gave nothing away.
He let out a soft cough and said calmly, “Ms. Rivers, you barged into my room and heldat knifepoint. Aren't
you afraid you won't make it out alive?”
Though his voice still carried weakness, the authority behind it never wavered. No one could take him lightly.
Sloane didn’t take offense. She blinked and smiled. “I didn’t exactly have a choice.”
Andrew scoffed under his breath. He didn’t see any sign she'd been forced.
Sloane didn’t bother arguing. She got straight to the point. “You've been poisoned. | can cure you.”
Andrew took a sharp step forward, unable to hide the surge of hope in his voice. “Are you serious?” His tone
trembled with excitement and anticipation.
So far, only three people had figured out Lucas had been poisoned, rather than stricken with sstrange
illness.
Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly, a flicker of surprise crossing his face—but it vanished quickly, replaced by that
sunreadable calm.
He studied Sloane in silence for a moment before speaking in a quiet, even tone. “Ms. Rivers, you expectto
believe you with nothing to back it up?”
Sloane raised one finger and pressed it gently to his lips. “I just saved your life. Don’t forget that.”
Lucas remembered the kiss that had jolted him awake. He could still taste the faint tang of blood on his tongue.
Sloane smiled, a hint of smugness in
her eyes. “If | henge youomy\

Lucas’ gaze flickered. “You mean your blood saved me?”
“Of course not,” Sloane rolled her
eyes. “The poison in your body is a
