He held a gun, its dark barrel pointed at his own head, his expression a look of complete despair.

"Cason, are you crazy?!" Claudian was beside herself with fear, rushing forward to snatch the handgun away.

"Don't move." Cason's voice was cold and heavy. "Mom, since Miranda is gone, I have no reason to live. I am an unfilial son."

With that, he slowly closed his eyes, with a look of grim determination, as if he was truly ready to end his life in front of everyone.

The Sanderson family was nearly driven mad with fear.

Claudian was especially stricken, almost losing her voice in an instant, "No, don't! She's still alive, alive!"

Cason's eyes snapped open, gritting his teeth, "Where is she?"

Claudian, tears streaming down her face, replied, "I-I'll have someone bring her out right away."

Miranda was indeed still alive, but the poison had taken a severe toll, leaving her barely clinging to life.

Lilah looked at her sister's pale face, wishing she could destroy the entire Sanderson family.

"Where's the antidote?" Gerard demanded coldly.

At this moment, neither Claudian nor the rest of the Sanderson family had any fight left in them.

Claudian ordered someone to bring an emerald green porcelain bottle, from which a small, green bean-sized pellet was poured out.

A day and a night later, Miranda slowly regained consciousness.

"Sis, how are you?" Lilah immediately grasped Miranda's hand, her face filled with worry.

At the same time, she felt a strange cramp in her stomach, though it was still bearable.

The mist in Miranda's eyes cleared, tears welling up, "Sis, I want to go home."

Her trust, her sincerity, was completely shattered.

Ha, who would have thought that her one moment of softness nearly cost her life.

Hearing her sister's words, Lilah's heart broke, tears instantly welling up, “Alright, alright, I'll take you home. We won't stay in this stupid place any longer."

Gerard said, "The car is ready, just outside."

With that, he signaled for a few female bodyguards to come in, intending to help Miranda up and carry her out.

But just then, Cason, who had been silent all along, finally spoke in a trembling voice, "Miranda, could you..."

"Get lost!" Lilah slapped him hard, her strength so great that Cason was nearly knocked to the ground.
