After all, they had known each other since childhood. Even if Nancy forced herself to let it go, it would be a lie to say she felt no pain at being betrayed by Susan.

“James already has the evidence that you had poisonous supplements prepared. The drugs you gave Soren–James traced the purchase channels. Susan, police investigations rely on evidence, not on a few crocodile tears from you. You and the snake you bore can look forward to sitting in jail together.”

Susan’s face drained of color as if painted white.

James was terrifying. How could he possibly have obtained evidence for something she had hidden so carefully?

This afternoon Ivan had already been discharged and returned home.

She hadn’t even recovered from her panic when she heard Ivan’s voice, laced with cruel calmness. “Susan, Renee—you two like poisoning people? Tonight I’ll let you taste what it’s like to be poisoned.”

With the evidence James held, Susan and Renee would go to prison. But merely imprisoning them was too lenient for what they had tried to do to his family.

James had a friend who was not only a superb physician but also fond of researching poisons. After James told his friend about Susan and her daughter’s schemes, the friend provided two small vials.

The drug inside was chronic. At first the body would itch unbearably; later the flesh would rot away from the outside in, until internal organs decayed and the victim died in a stench of rot.

The cruelest thing about this drug wasn’t that it caused a gruesome death, but that victims could survive for many years–some unlucky ones even decades–watching their bodies rot with no cure, pleading for death but unable to die. That was true despair.

Seeing the two porcelain bottles in Ivan’s hand, Susan and Renee panicked utterly. They regretted coming tonight; the Luke family had set a trap, and they were the caught frogs.

They glanced at each other and scrambled to their feet, trying to flee. Before they could steady themselves, several bodyguards burst in and ruthlessly forced them to the floor.

Ivan strode forward with a smile, ignoring their protests, and without mercy poured the liquid into their mouths.

“No!”

Susan and Renee shook their heads violently, refusing to swallow. The guards cleverly pressed their chins, forcing them to swallow the liquid.

“Ugh…”

They immediately tried to gag and retch the potion back up, but it was useless.

Awaiting them was not only long prison sentences but at least a decade of excruciating torment.

“What did you force Renee and me to drink?” Susan’s eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Ivan. “I was good to James. I cared for you too. How can you repay kindness with betrayal and do this to me? Nancy, I treated you as my best friend–how could you just watch me be poisoned? Don’t you have any conscience?”

“Susan, who is it that truly has no conscience?” Nancy’s eyes had turned red as well.
