Andrew’s face immediately turned grim, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. His voice was low and urgent. “Ms. Rivers, what herbs do you need? I’ll send someone right now.”
Sloane forced down the weakness coursing through her body and answered calmly, “Septoherb. It’s the key to the antidote. But it’s extremely rare-
e–it only grows in untouched, primitive forests. It’s basically impossible to find on the market. Use every connection you have and get it, no matter the cost.”
Andrew nodded without hesitation. “I’ll arrange it right away.”
He didn’t leave immediately, though. ncing at Lucas lying unconscious on the bed, he added, “Ms. Rivers, no one can know that our CEO’s been poisoned. I hope you can keep this confidential.”
Sloane looked up at him. “Don’t worry. Your CEO and I are working together. I don’t want anything to happen to him either.”
Andrew knew how much the boss cared about her, so he chose to trust her. He immediately mobilized every resource he had to locate the Septoherb and locked down all information about Lucas’s condition.
That same night, Sloane swallowed thest pill her master had given her and left Lucas’s vi. Not even Andrew knew where she went.
Meanwhile, at the Rivers family estate, there was still no word from Sloane. Marshall was pacing in circles, his nerves frayed. “What the hell is going on? Didn’t they say she’d already been caught?”
Conrad swallowed nervously. “I don’t know either. A few days ago, Mom really did trick her out of school, but by the time I got there with people, Sloane was already gone, I checked with the university too. She hasn’t shown up in days–it’s like she vanished into thin air. Stonebridge University is looking for her everywhere.”
Marshall nearly exploded. “Of all times to go missing, it had to be now? She’s doing this on purpose to screw with us! She’s trying to get revenge on the Rivers family!”

“Find her. I don’t care what it takes. I don’t care if you have to tear up the ground- find her!” Hispany was on the verge of copse. If things didn’t turn around soon, they were done. That’s why he was so desperate to track Sloane down.
“Yes, sir.” As soon as Conrad stepped out, he called Whitney. “Whitney, what the hell is going on with your people? Where the hell is Sloane?”
Whitney had already gotten word that Sloane had escaped. It had been three days, and she still hadn’t heard back from the assassins. She was already on edge.
Faced with Conrad’s usations, she yed dumb. “Mr. Conrad, you must be joking. Why would I know where your dear Miss Rivers is?”
Conrad could tell she was trying to wash her hands of the mess. His fury erupted. “Don’t y dumb with me, Whitney! You’re the one who came to me about working together against Sloane! Now that she’s gone, you’re just gonna bail?”
Whitney let out a coldugh. Her tone wasced with mockery. “Mr. Conrad, watch your words. When did I ever say I wanted to go after Sloane? Whatever’s going on in your family, don’t drag me into it. If you’ve got time to argue with me, maybe use it to find her.”
Conrad’s face went red with rage. He gritted his teeth. “Don’t think I don’t see what you’re doing, Whitney. You used us to try and take Sloane down so you could swoop in when it all blew up. Now that it’s backfired, you’re acting like it had nothing to do with you?”
Whitney’s voice turned ice–cold. “Watch your mouth, Conrad. Say one more thing out of line and I won’t be so polite.”
She hung up without another word, not giving him a chance to respond.
“Who were you on the phone with?” a voice asked suddenly behind her.
Larry had appeared silently, standing just a few steps away.
