Yvonne was shocked senseless.
She cried out in disbelief. “Ah!”
Then her hand trembled and the needle landed on the bed.
Her lips trembled. “Jo… Joel, what… what are you doing?”
Joel looked at her with deep eyes. “I should be the one asking you this. What are you doing?”
Yvonne bit her lips and refused to speak. “I-I was worried about Dad, so I came to see him.”
“Is that so?”
Joel lowered his head and looked at the needle on the bed. “What is this?”
Yvonne gulped and stuttered, “Vitamin.”
“Tsk, why didn’t I know this was vitamin?”
Suddenly, another deep voice sounded, causing Yvonne to turn her head again and see Nora walking over.
She picked up the syringe from the bed and sniffed it. After studying it carefully, she came to a conclusion. “This is potassium cyanide. As little as 0.1 grams injected into a person’s body would kill within thirty seconds!”
Yvonne stared at the needle and said in shock, “This, this isn’t, don’t talk nonsense…”

“Really?”
Nora handed the syringe to her. “There’s still some residue in here. If it’s vitamins, eat it and I’ll believe you.”
Yvonne: “!!”
She took the syringe with trembling fingers and stared at the liquid inside.
Of course, she knew best what was inside!
Potassium cyanide was medicine for euthanasia!
Her hands trembled, but she did not dare to really drink it. She threw the syringe on the ground. “Why should I drink it? I won’t! I refuse!”
Yvonne immediately shouted, “You’re slandering me! I didn’t want to poison Daddy!”
She suddenly came to a realization and said, “I know. Is it because you didn’t treat Daddy at all, so you deliberately said that he would wake up tomorrow and forced me to do it?! This way, it won’t show that your medical skills are bad. Nora, you’re really sinister and cunning!”

Nora heard her and lifted the blanket on Ian’s arm.
The bottle of drip was not even connected to his hand!
Yvonne was stunned.
Nora smiled. “Indeed, he won’t wake up tomorrow. Do you think he will wake up immediately after the surgery when his brain illness is so serious? He will need to rest for at least a week. However, I couldn’t wait another week.”
What could she not wait for?
Just as Yvonne was hesitating, Joel added, “The matter of you manipulating Florence to poison Old Maddy can’t be solved even if Florence sues you and makes a confession. As long as you refuse to admit it, there will be no evidence. We can’t convict you of instigating someone to murder, so we thought of this method.”
The moment Nora left the operating theater, Yvonne had nervously asked when Ian would wake up. Joel had given Nora a look.
Nora immediately said Ian would wake up tomorrow.
This only gave Yvonne a day to make a move.
When Yvonne heard that, she took a step back and looked at the two of them in disbelief. “Despicable! You’re too despicable!! You actually schemed against me!”
Joel lowered his eyes. “This is a setup, but we didn’t force you to come in. Before tonight, I thought that if you didn’t come, you would still have some conscience. Then, I would have given you a decent dowry and married you off since you’re the eldest daughter of the Smiths. From the looks of it, I was still soft-hearted.”
Yvonne cried out in surprise, “You’re too soft-hearted? You’ve always been the most careful and firm. I don’t need to spend much effort to please other brothers, but what about you? I’ve tried so hard, but I can’t make you treat me better! I know that you’ve never treated me like family!”
Joel looked up at her.
Yvonne was actually right.
He was a cold person by nature. There were not many people he cared about.
Ian was one of them.
Mia was one of them.
Tanya from many years ago was one of them.
He could barely count the cousins of the Smiths, but Yvonne had never been in his heart.
Joel ignored her and said to the people outside, “Come in.”
The bodyguards walked in.
Joel pointed at Yvonne. “Take her away and send her to the police station tomorrow.”

The word “police station” made Yvonne’s body shudder.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Joel in disbelief. “You… you’re sending me to the police station? If that’s the case, the Smiths’ matter will spread! This is all a scandal!”
When Joel heard this, he nodded. “You’re right. The police will at most charge you with attempted murder. You’ll be sentenced to life imprisonment. If you’re more sensible inside, your life won’t be too bad.”
The words “life imprisonment” made Yvonne shudder.
Joel suddenly turned to look at Nora. “Nora, tell me. What should we do?”
Was he handing her execution rights to Nora?
Nora probably hated her to death!
Yvonne panicked. “Joel, big brother! You can’t do this. We’re siblings after all. Please give me a way out!”
Joel lowered his eyes. “A way out? It’s not impossible. I’ll help you suppress this matter, but you have to listen to me and get married obediently…”
Yes, she would get married to anyone he wanted!
Yvonne nodded immediately. “I’ll listen to you!”
However, Nora could hear another meaning from her words.
Whoever she married, she had to listen to Joel’s arrangements. From Joel’s words, she could hear some killing intent.
The man Joel wanted her to marry was definitely not a good person.
She lowered her eyes and suddenly said, “Send her to the police station!”
These words stunned Joel. “You’re willing to let her off?”
Yvonne was also anxious. “Nora, you’re so evil!”
She slowly turned back to Joel, stunned.
Yvonne asked in confusion, “Joel, what do you mean by letting me off?”
Joel lowered his eyes. “I originally planned to marry you to Jason.”
Jason…
Hearing this name, Yvonne shivered.
This person had violent tendencies. He had married two wives and both of them had been beaten to death. Because he was from a wealthy family, he had spent money to suppress the matter.
However, domestic violence would not change. If she married him, there would only be one outcome—being beaten to death!

Yvonne’s legs went soft and she fell to the ground.
How could she have forgotten?
Joel was a smiling tiger. Although he always had a smile on his face and his eyes were smiling, his heart was actually the most ruthless.
She suddenly shouted, “Hypocrite! The Smiths are all hypocrites! Ian! He adopted me but did not take good care of me! He never gave me fatherly love. You’re no better, you never treated me as your real sister! Was I wrong? I was not wrong! Because if I did not scheme, no one would think about me!”
