Three More Cripples
“I’m not going to ask the Yoeger family for mercy on your behalf,” Kathleen clarified. “I’m only promising
you that Zachary won’t touch your kidney.”
“Let’s meet, then,” Nicolette said.
Kathleen scoffed. “Do we still need to meet over this matter?”
“Kathleen, I have Melting Ice Grass,” Nicolette revealed. “Do you want it?”
Her words stunned Kathleen. “What did you just say?”
Melting Ice Grass? How could she have that?
Kathleen frowned and asked again, “What are you trying to say?”
“I heard from Samuel that your brother had been poisoned,” Nicolette replied.
“That’s impossible. Samuel would never tell you that!” Kathleen wouldn’t believe her words.
“Kathleen, you guys fought, didn’t you?” There was a half-smile on Nicolette’s face. “He wants to
destroy the Blissful Sect, but the sect has the medicine that can save your brother. That’s why you guys
turned against each other, right?”
Kathleen was stunned.
How could she know about what Samuel and I talked about last night? We were the only ones present.
No one else was there!
This meant that Samuel was the only person who could tell Nicolette about it.
Kathleen sneered, “Samuel actually told you?”
“I used to be his confidante, after all,” Nicolette boasted. “Kathleen, you can’t deny that I’m better at
coaxing men than you do. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to maintain our relationship no matter how
many lies I tell. Am I right?”
Kathleen froze.
Indeed, Nicolette’s words made sense.
“Give me the Melting Ice Grass. I’ll agree to any condition you state.”
Nicolette’s expression looked ambiguous as she said, “Sure. Come and meet me on your own.”
“Sure,” Kathleen agreed without any hesitation.
After Nicolette gave her an address, Kathleen hung up the phone, ready to head there right away.
Giselle held her back. “Ms. Johnson, where are you going?”
“Nicolette has Melting Ice Grass,” Kathleen said eagerly. “I’m going to meet her.”
She then took out a document from the drawer to bring with her.
“Ms. Johnson, have you ever wondered why she would have Melting Ice Grass with her? It could be
fake,” Giselle advised.
“Whether or not it’s fake, I have to go. Melting Ice Grass is the only antidote to my brother’s poison.
The effectiveness of the Blissful Sect’s Snow Grass is quite average. It can only suppress the
symptoms but not remove the poison.”
“Let me go with you.” Giselle was very worried.
“I’m fine. She won’t be able to do anything. Don’t worry, Giselle. I’m totally prepared,” Kathleen
reassured.
Giselle pursed her lips. “How come Nicolette knows so much, though?”
“Samuel told her,” Kathleen said with darkened eyes, shocking Giselle with her words.
“I’m leaving now.” After saying that, Kathleen left in a hurry.
Worried about her safety, Giselle could only follow her in secret.
Nicolette had asked Kathleen to meet her in a bar that was also involved in some shady business.
Kathleen had long heard about it, and she was surprised that Nicolette actually found this place.
Things were getting more and more interesting.
When Kathleen walked into the bar, a man approached her. “Who are you looking for?”
“Nicolette Yoeger,” answered Kathleen coldly.
“This way.” The man started leading the way, and Kathleen couldn’t help but narrow her eyes.
Upon arriving at a room, the man gestured at the door. “Please enter.”
Kathleen opened the door and saw Nicolette sitting on a couch inside.
“That was quick,” Nicolette remarked with a faint smile.
Walking inside, Kathleen responded, “You surprised me.”
“What’s that in your hand?” Nicolette asked with curiosity.
“Zachary doesn’t have kidney cancer. He was fooled by someone. This is the proof.”
Immediately, Nicolette’s eyes lit up. “Give it to me!”
“Where’s the Melting Ice Grass?” Kathleen asked icily.
“Kathleen, have you forgotten that this proof is my hush money? If you don’t give it to me, I’ll reveal
everything and tell everyone that Samuel has a split personality,” threatened Nicolette.
“If you do that, the first person to suffer will be you.”
Hearing that, Nicolette bit her lip in silence.
“I’m not going to lose one of my kidneys, anyway,” Kathleen added indifferently.
Nicolette clenched her jaw. “Fine. You win!”
Then, she took out a box from behind her. “The Melting Ice Grass is in here.”
Kathleen strode over. It was only when she approached Nicolette that she saw what was on the latter’s
body.
It was a robotic exoskeleton from the military.
No wonder Nicolette could come on her own. Who gave her this?
As if hearing Kathleen’s thoughts, Nicolette smiled smugly. “Samuel gave this to me.”
Samuel?
“I suppose you know about Samuel’s connection to the military,” Nicolette bragged. “I just stayed with
him and comforted him, and he gave me this in return.”
Kathleen couldn’t help but purse her lips.
Nicolette took the document from her before shoving the box into her hands. “Take a look at it. I don’t
want you to accuse me of scamming you.”
When Kathleen opened the box, a swirl of white smoke came out.
Caught off guard, she got a whiff and immediately fainted.
“Haha!” Nicolette laughed boisterously. “Kathleen, it seems like you’re quite easy to take down. Come
in!”
Following that, the man earlier entered the room.
“Have you prepared everything?” Nicolette demanded.
“Yes,” answered the man with a nod.
A vicious glint flashed across Nicolette’s eyes. “Very well. Take her away. I want to see if Samuel would
still want a woman touched by other men.”
Without a word, the man carried Kathleen out.
Nicolette stayed behind, gritting her teeth. “Everyone from the Yoeger family has to die!”
Meanwhile, the man brought Kathleen into a room and left afterward.
The next moment, Kathleen sat up swiftly and looked around.
When she saw the interior of the room, she couldn’t help but curse silently. There were various kinds of
adult toys around her.
D*mn these disgusting people! Nicolette has overestimated herself. Does she really think she can trick
me?
Right after she hid behind the door, a series of footsteps sounded. From the sound of it, someone was
heading toward the room.
“Gentlemen, we prepared a gorgeous lady for you today. Please enjoy yourselves.” The voice belonged
to the man earlier.
“All right. You can leave now,” urged someone else as he tipped the man.
Following that, three men entered the room and closed the door behind them.
“Huh? Where is she?”
Clang!
Without any warning, Kathleen whopped the head of the man in the middle with a flower vase.
Instantly, he slumped to the ground.
The man on the right tried to run away, but Kathleen did a roundhouse kick and sent him collapsing as
well.
“Someone—” Before the last man standing could yell for help, an exquisite-looking gun appeared in
Kathleen’s hand.
It had been hidden in her boots all this time, and the man who had brought her there had not noticed it.
“Don’t kill me!” the last man pleaded for help, fear evident on his face.
“Perverted sc*mbags!” Kathleen was incensed. “You *ssh*les have ruined countless women’s lives.
Today, I’m going to make sure justice is served!”
Her gun had a silencer on it, so she didn’t need to worry about attracting attention.
She fired three shots, each aimed toward the three men’s groins.
In an instant, the three of them turned into cripples.
Kathleen was very satisfied.
With Nicolette in mind as her next target, she opened the door.
However, she was stunned the next second.
Samuel was standing outside, his face grim.“I’m not going to ask the Yoeger family for mercy on your
behalf,” Kathleen clarified. “I’m only promising you that Zachary won’t touch your kidney.”
“Let’s meet, then,” Nicolette said.
Kathleen scoffed. “Do we still need to meet over this matter?”
