After the collapse of the cinema in Barnes, Patrick warned Elissa and took away most of her power
over Lester Silk Fabric.She dared not to act rashly and had been lying low since then.But Elissa was so
anxious to get Ethan out of the picture.He was a huge threat to her, and the sooner she could get rid of
him, the better.
Ethan had been a threat to her ever since he was born, like his mother, whom Elissa had viewed as her
arch enemy.And she knew that if Ethan found out that she was behind this, he wouldn‘t let her go.She
couldn‘t just sit still any longer, waiting for Ethan to take his revenge.She had to do something From
that day on, Elissa had been spending all her time thinking about how to eliminate Ethan once and for
all.It wasn‘t until Ritchie mentioned it in passing that an idea finally occurred to her.
"How did Ethan‘s mom die anyway? From some kind of heart condition, right? Maybe Ethan has it,
too.I heard that heart conditions are genetic."
"You idiot, Sylvia didn‘t have—"
Just as Elissa was about to roll her eyes, she abruptly fell silent and her eyes lit up.She knew exactly
how Sylvia died.
Twenty years ago, she got her hands on a newly developed poison by chance.
When ingested by a human, the poison could cause palpitation and consequently, sudden cardiac
arrest after two or three days.
Moreover, it was difficult to trace and therefore made for the best murder weapon.
And this is the very poison she used to murder Sylvia.
As expected, her death was chalked up to natural causes, and nobody suspected foul play.
Recalling this, Elissa wondered if she could use the same trick on Ethan., Because of the heavy
workload these days, there had been many cases of cardiac arrest caused by stress.
As the CEO of the flourishing Larson Group, Ethan was always neck deep in work.
Elissa was sure that if he suddenly died from cardiac arrest, no one would suspect it was a murder.
Thinking of this, Elissa bought another vial of the very same poison she used to kill Sylvia.
Although Elissa had lost her power over the family business, she still had a lot of money of her own.So
she hired someone to follow Ethan.
When she found out that he had made a reservation in a restaurant, she bribed two waiters to spike his
wine.
When everything was set in place, Elissa returned to Seacisco.She waited confidently for the news of
Ethan‘s death.
Unexpectedly, that news never came; instead, it was Janet who suffered from a sudden cardiac arrest–
and she had survived, nonetheless! How could this have happened? Hearing the news, Elissa grew
increasingly flustered.
Since Ethan was alive, it meant that he would definitely look into this incident.
Moreover, his mother had died from a similar instance.He might get suspicious and eventually trace it
back to her.
Elissa immediately contacted the owner of the restaurant and managed to get him to agree to suspend
their business for a few days.
At least, she had to do something to cover her tracks.
Despite all her effort, Elissa wasn‘t able to get rid of the waiters that had been bought off by her.
When she rushed over to Barnes, she was too late.
The two waiters had been taken away by Ethan.
Worried that she’d be caught, Elissa flew back to Seacisco right away.She didn‘t know how things
went, but Ethan was a resourceful man.
Now that he had the witnesses, Elissa knew he‘d find a lot of evidence that‘d point to her.
Elissa was so flustered that she didn‘t dare to leave her home for the next few days.
One day, a servant knocked on the door urgently.
"Mrs.Lester, we have received an indictment for you."
