Clarence frowned. “Why did the poison suddenly act up?
“I’ve examined Leah before, and her poison’s strange. She’s just as normal as everyone else.
“Leah will only die when the poison acts up. There’s no reason for it to happen all of a sudden, though,” Clarence said. Then, something occurred to him suddenly. “Did you do something to her?”
The middle-aged bodyguard explained, “Master Sanders learned from Mr. Howard yesterday that the supplement she was taking was poisonous, so she didn’t take it today.”
Clarence felt a slight pang in his heart. “Has Leah taken the female ginseng blood tonic pill and ginseng tonic pill she eats every day?”
“No.”
The middle-aged bodyguard shook his head.
Clarence stamped his foot. “Oh, we overlooked this.
“It’s my fault. I forgot to tell Master Sanders about this.
“Leah has been taking various supplements and things like female ginseng blood tonic pills and ginseng tonic pills over the years. The poison has created a delicate balance in her body.
“That balance will be disrupted once she stops taking them.
“That’s how Leah got poisoned!
Clarence continued saying, “The person who poisoned her was smart. They were afraid Leah would find out that she had been poisoned and go after whoever had poisoned her, so they made the poisons perfectly proportioned.
“Once Leah discovered they were poisonous and stopped taking them, the delicate balance in her body would instantly be disrupted, causing the poison to act up immediately!”
The expression of the middle-aged bodyguard at the other end of the line instantly changed.
Even a grown man like him was on the verge of tears at the tragic tale.
“Master Howard, what do we do now?
“You must save Master Sanders. I’ll kneel and kowtow to you now.”
Clarence heard a ‘bang’ on the phone and then a ‘bang, bang, bang’ as the bodyguard’s head hit the floor.
“Don’t worry. Where does Master Sanders live? I’ll be right over.” Clarence reassured him.
“North Star Mansion.”
A life was at stake. Clarence did not waste time as he explained the situation to the crowd. Then, they all sped off to North Star Mansion.
When Clarence arrived at North Star Mansion, someone met Clarence at the door and took them to the villa Leah lived in.
As soon as they entered the villa entrance, they saw another group of people who happened to arrive at the same time as them.
Their apparent leader was a woman in her fifties. She looked dignified and was still attractive despite her age. She must have been a stunning beauty when she was young.
She had several young men with her, along with one old man who seemed to be in his sixties.
The old man had his hands behind his back and held his head up high, looking as proud as an eagle.
Leah’s bodyguard walked out. “Madam Shaw, Dr. Howard, you’re here.”
The dignified woman frowned. “Dr. Howard?”
“He’s a doctor?
Ronda Shaw gave Clarence a disdainful glance. “I brought Master Dunn from South East Asia here to detoxify Leah. Why did you call another doctor? Do you know who Master Dunn is?
“He’s the second to none miracle doctor of South East Asia. He has treated many tycoons and members of royalty.
“The royal families in Southeast Asia even invite Master Dunn to celebrate every holiday or important day with them.”
“I haven’t been to many royal parties. I only know the king of Elephant Country. We’re only friends, no business interests involved there.” Master Dunn still had his hands behind his back, looking jovial yet bossy. He was unspeakably high-spirited.
“Master Dunn, you’re too humble.”
Ronda looked proud. ” I wouldn’t have had the chance to invite you to detox Leah if you didn’t happen to be in Mediterranean City.”
She turned to Leah’s middle-aged bodyguard and asked, “This young man looks like he’s only in his early 20s.
“Can he detoxify Leah?
“It would be a disgrace to Master Dunn to have him stand next to Master Dunn!”
Ronda pointed her finger at the middle-aged bodyguard. “Bart Sullivan, are you trying to kill Leah?”
Bart’s expression changed. “Madam Shaw, what are you talking about? How could I want to hurt Master Sanders?
“It was Dr. Howard who found out that Master Sanders was poisoned.”
“It was him?” Ronda frowned slightly.
Master Dunn raised his eyebrows and gave Clarence a second look.
Clarence was plain and nothing special, so Master Dunn soon turned his head away. He was arrogant and stopped paying attention to Clarence.
Ronda looked at Clarence quizzically. “Do you really know medicine, boy?
“You look so young. Even if you know medicine, how good can you be?”
Clarence glanced at Ronda and said, “Your face is dull, and your glabella seems dark. That’s a sign of a weak body.
“The steps you take when you walk seem a little weak, and there’s a slight elevation between your left and right foot. You sprained your foot when you were little, right?
“The apples of your cheeks may look plump, but they’re actually stiff because you’ve had facial skeletal contouring and because you’ve injected too many dermal fillers into them in your later years.”
Clarence looked at Ronda meaningfully. “Your kidneys are already weak and almost overexerted. How can you be so hypersexual at your age?
“And you’re pregnant! It’s already been three months.
“Are you having a baby at this age? Aren’t you trying too hard?”
All eyes turned to Ronda in surprise.
‘Ronda’s pregnant?’
Ronda took two horrified steps back and stammered, “What… What are you talking about?
“How can I be pregnant when I’m already in my 50s?
“Don’t talk nonsense and slander me, boy.”
Ronda was startled.
She secretly kept a young toyboy and usually slept with him twice a day.
Unfortunately, she had gotten knocked up when they had not taken protective measures a few months ago.
Because Ronda was too old and her body could not take it, she dared not have an abortion.
No one knew about it, not even that toyboy who was now dead and gone.
How did Clarence notice?
Of course, there was no way Ronda would admit that she was pregnant. “Slander. That’s slander. I’m too old to be pregnant.
“Are you f*cking kidding me?”
Just then, a maid rushed out of the villa. “Oh no, Master Sanders was awake for a few seconds, vomited a mouthful of black blood, and passed out again.
“What?”
“Come on, let’s go in and check her out!”
Everyone’s expressions changed.
No one had time to think about Ronda’s pregnancy anymore.
Bart was the first to rush into the villa, followed by Clarence, Ronda, and the others. They got to Leah’s room.
There were pools of black blood on the floor.
Clarence looked at the blood and frowned.
Ronda pulled Master Dunn over. “Master Dunn, hurry and help her.”
Master Dunn stepped forward and felt Leah’s pulse. After about three minutes, he smiled calmly, “Don’t worry, I can cure this poison.”
He pulled a black pill out of his pocket. “This is a detox pill from my private collection. It can cure all sorts of poison. It contains jimson weed, sky mountain snow lotus, and one-thousand-year-old ginseng. One pill is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.”
Master Dunn was about to give Leah the pill as he spoke.
Clarence shouted. “Are you trying to kill her?
“Or do you just want Leah dead?”
