The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1115

“Bring the antidote.”

Allanson’s voice cut through the tension just in time.

Aloys and Marcia looked up at him, both of them stunned. Was their grandfather really going to just hand the antidote over to Franco?

One of Allanson’s most trusted men stepped forward, holding a square box carved from carnelian. Under the lights, it gave off a mysterious, almost magical glow.

This antidote was no ordinary medicine. It contained a rare and precious ingredient that needed to be stored with extreme care. For years, Allanson had kept it locked away in a special lab. But after finding notes in Mrs. W’s research, they learned that carnelian could actually preserve the antidote even better than the lab. That’s why Allanson had the box made.

The box had always been in Allanson’s own hands. Marcia had never seen it until now.

She squeezed her hands tight, biting her lip as she watched the carnelian box, her voice icy. “If we hand over the antidote, we lose any way to control Charlotte.”

If they lost Asclepius, and had no test subject, the genetic institute’s research would hit a dead end.

Aloys stood in his black suit, his expression like stone, an invisible chill surrounding him. His hands were clenched, knuckles white, as he stared at Franco and Charlotte across the room, both of them looking so calm. Anger burned in his chest. They used to have everything under control. Now, things were slipping away. For all their planning, they never expected Franco to actually stand up and challenge The Hawk Family.
