Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 165: Giving Someone a Taste of Their Own Medicine
Just as Lily Sinclair’s face quickly changed, Candace Ford lightly coughed and leisurely said, "But you don’t have to worry. As long as you listen to me, I won’t release the video, and it won’t cause you any loss!"
"Listen to you?" Lily Sinclair retorted, "How am I supposed to listen to you? My sister definitely won’t trust me anymore. Do I still have any value to you?"
Lily Sinclair was in disbelief!
Drugging wasn’t enough?
Originally, she thought Candace still hated her cousin, so she was trying to make her cousin suffer by all means.
But now, Candace believes her cousin’s child is gone, and yet she’s still unwilling to stop?!
"Don’t say ’use’ so harshly! Why not call it mutually beneficial cooperation?" Candace tried to change her mindset. "You and Raine Sinclair come from the same family. Why should she be the CEO of the Sinclair Group, and you are just a mere secretary? Are you willing to accept that? You both share the Sinclair bloodline, and you deserve a part of the Sinclair Group’s leadership too!"
Hearing this, Lily Sinclair’s heart sank slowly. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
She didn’t expect Candace was eyeing Sinclair Family’s assets too?
"Grandpa gave Sinclair Group to my elder uncle when he was alive. Do you think I can take it back?" Lily Sinclair finally caught on and asked along with her words.
Let’s see what this wicked woman really wants!
Candace, hearing this, thought her words had an effect on this girl and continued, "Why can’t you take it back? Most of the shareholders and board members of Sinclair Group now fought alongside your elder uncle. They aren’t retired yet, but this young girl is in charge. Who would be convinced? You just need to secretly win their hearts and promise them great benefits after it succeeds. I believe many people will be very willing to help you."
"I’m even younger. Do you think they’ll respect me?" Lily Sinclair sneered.
Her cousin was able to keep those board members in line because she hosted a bidding event as soon as she took office, and it was impressive. The projects with the Hawthorne and Zhao families haven’t even started selling but have already garnered significant attention.
The real estate is expected to sell out, and board members are drooling, waiting for the stocks to skyrocket!
When someone stirred up trouble with the children’s clothing, her cousin handled it exceptionally well too.
After that, the children’s clothing under Sinclair Group sold explosively, and the production lines never stopped!
And the billions in loans, her cousin easily got them...
With such achievements and style, who would dare not respect her cousin?
As for Lily Sinclair herself, she knew very well that she wasn’t capable of that.
Thinking back, it was still her grandpa who had foresight.
He once lamented that if her cousin were a man, she’d surely make a great impact in the business world...
Candace didn’t understand the reasons behind this. She only thought having money could solve anything, and immediately said, "You just need to give them more benefits. In this world, who would go against money?"
Lily Sinclair didn’t refute any further, but internally she concluded: Compared to her sister, Candace is truly not even close!
Candace saw she hadn’t spoken for a long time and added, "If you listen to me, the entire Sinclair Group will be yours in the future, and you can have whatever you want!"
"..." Lily Sinclair remained silent.
She didn’t expect Candace to have such ambition, trying to control the entire Sinclair Family through her!
Candace didn’t push when she saw her silence, after all, this wasn’t a small matter, and she needed some time to think about it.
As they talked, she started feeling her throat getting dry.
Earlier, she had dismissed all the servants, and now there wasn’t even someone to serve tea.
Irritated, her gaze suddenly landed on Lily Sinclair in front of her, and a thought flashed in her mind: Who needs a servant? Isn’t there one right in front of her?
Hmph.
The Sinclair family’s noble lady, now reduced to being just a plaything in her control!
Not only that, but she could also turn this girl into her servant!
Narrowing her eyes, Candace suddenly spoke, "Lily, go get me a cup of tea."
Lily Sinclair stiffened, thinking she’d misheard, "What did you say?"
"I said get me a cup of tea, didn’t you understand?" Candace repeated, seeing Lily Sinclair unwilling to move, then sneered, "You better not forget that your photos and videos are still with me. If you upset me, I can’t guarantee those things won’t appear in front of your parents at any moment..."
"You!" Lily Sinclair clenched her teeth. If not for seeing her pregnant, she really wanted to rush up and tear apart this woman’s ugly face!
However, at that moment, Lily Sinclair suddenly froze.
Getting her tea?
Then... there would be a chance to drug her?
Anyway, the Hawthorne family’s servants were all gone, and no one would know what she did.
The chance she’d been racking her brains for was now lying in front of her so easily?
So...
Should she do it or not?
Candace, seeing her standing there like a wooden stake, immediately raised her eyebrows and scolded, "What are you doing? Hurry up and go!"
Under normal circumstances, Lily Sinclair would never agree!
But at this moment, her eyes flickered twice before she turned around and walked in the direction where the servant had previously served tea.
When Candace saw Lily Sinclair obediently going to make her tea, she felt immensely proud!
To Candace, this was also a sense of achievement.
To think that Lily Sinclair, originally a pampered noble lady, now had to serve her tea and listen to her commands?
Hmph! It seems the Sinclair family isn’t much after all!
Unbeknownst to her, Lily Sinclair’s heart was filled with immense hatred and a desire for revenge!
The tea stand was right next to the living room, visible at a glance.
As she found the tea bags, she also took out a packet of powder from her pocket.
It was what she obtained from Winston Clayton.
Lily Sinclair hesitated for a moment.
Growing up, she’d never intended to harm anyone.
Yet trouble always seemed to find her!
But this was entirely Candace’s own doing!
Even if she had nothing left for the rest of her life, she had to make Candace suffer!
So, use the same means to pay her back!
With trembling hands, she poured the entire packet of powder into the teacup, then quickly stirred it with a teaspoon a few times.
The high counter shielded her actions from Candace’s view, but Ian Jacobs, hidden on the other side of the counter, saw everything.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise.
This... what kind of drug?
Not yet knowing whether Lily Sinclair intended for Candace to die instantly or to suffer slowly, he recalled Mr. Wyatt’s previous instructions.
No deaths should occur.
Judging by the dosage of the drug Lily was using, it seemed likely Candace would kick the bucket after drinking it.
As the two mused secretly, on the other side, Candace grew impatient, loudly shouting, "Why are you dawdling? Hurry up!"
