Chapter 188
Quincy walked over and slowly opened his mouth.
This stepmother was too cruel. She would ruin Maisie to secure her daughter’s future.
With his last breath, Nelson looked up at Nolan, sitting cross-legged on the chair.
He looked like the devil straight out from the depths of hell. He had no expression on his face, while his
amber eyes were cold and sharp, making him look devilish.
Nolan uncrossed his legs into a new sitting position. He leaned forward and looked down at him. “If you
admit it, I’ll let you live.”
Nelson’s eyes filled with tears as he saw hope.
But what Nolan said next took out all the shine in his eyes and only left them with fear.

“Break his hands and legs. Spread the word that whoever tries to save him will suffer the same
consequences.”
Nolan got up and left without looking back.
Quincy signaled the men with his eyes and followed Nolan out.
Gerald brought his men in to check long after they left.
Seeing how terrible Nelson looked, Gerald shuddered. “See what happened to Nelson. Learn who not
to anger, or you’ll end up like him.” Nelson lectured his men. 1
“Yes, sir!” The men obeyed, not wanting to suffer the same fate.
If their limbs were broken and they could not get treatment, they would just end up being disabled for
life.
If they had a choice, they would rather go to jail with their limbs intact.

Maisie’s health improved after a few days of treatment. She couldn’t remember much of what had
happened that day except the vague memory of hurting someone.
When the doctor came in to check on her, he asked, “Ms. Vanderbilt, how are you feeling today?”
“Thank you. I feel much better now.”
Seeing her communicating clearly, the doctor was relieved. “You should be glad you didn’t get a big
dose, o rit wouldn’t be as simple as coming to the hospital.”
She would have to be sent to rehab. That would be even worse than what she had suffered for the past
few days.
Maisie looked up, “Doctor, can I know what was injected?”
“It’s a hallucinogen called Dupin. It’s for medical research, a medication that causes hallucinations.

“Our bodies will reject it at first. Those that have mild rejections won’t have bad hallucinations.
However, those who have serious rejections like you lose consciousness.
“It’s very addictive and hard to recover from it,” the doctor explained.
Maisie pressed her lips together.
She had guessed as much when the man said something about addiction.
The doctor checked the results of her blood test and asked, “By the way, your blood is really unique.
Have you had some medication before this?”
Maisie was surprised. “There’s more than the hallucinogen?”
The doctor was troubled. “Yes, but you’re recovering quickly. Under normal circumstances, it would
take about a week to get it out of your system, but this hallucinogen seems to have almost completely
disappeared,”
“You’re awake, Mis. Vanderbilt?” 1 Quincy walked in, cutting off the doctor.
