Chapter 418 These Drugs Were All Harmful to People
Sebastian, his face slightly pale, nodded, “Understood.”
“Hmm!” After responding, Ezra didn’t say much else.
Sebastian walked out in silence.
Naturally, I had no idea what these two were up to. Calmly, I
wondered what Ezra would say or do to me next, or even where he was planning to put me.
Ezra turned his gaze towards me, his emotions unreadable, and simply asked, “Did you apply the
medicine?”
I pursed my lips, feeling that he was talking nonsense again. Unable to suppress my inner irritation. I
said, “Get to the point, what is this? Are you planning to give a slap and then a candy?”
He furrowed his brows slightly, displeased, but didn’t lash out. Instead, he walked up to me and said,
“Tabatha, the one who hurt you, it wasn’t
me.”
I laughed, “Is there a difference?” He brought me here, simply because he didn’t want me to have a
good time. Whether or not he was the one who hurt me, it wasn’t the point.
Seeing me like this, he pursed his lips and didn’t speak anymore.
A moment later, Sebastian limped in, his body covered in wounds. Seeing him in this state, I was
genuinely surprised, but after a second thought, I just furrowed my brows and didn’t ask any more
questions.
Looking at me, Ezra glanced at Marguerite standing next to me and

said, “Take good care of her.”
It seemed, he had turned around and left.
Sebastian glanced at me, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then said nothing. He limped
out after me.
In the room, it was only Marguerite and I. Seeing that everyone had left, I leaned against the bamboo,
applied medicine, and the wound no longer hurt. However, I couldn’t help but feel increasingly uneasy.
In the past few days, Ezra was clearly absent, which is why Geraldine was able to take advantage.
Such incidents will not be few in the future. Geraldine probably sees me as an imaginary enemy, which
is why she targets me.
It wasn’t that I was afraid of her causing trouble, but if she came often, how could I possibly find a way
to contact Stanley and let him know about the situation here?
This place was a den of iniquity, the Venom Rose outside could be harvested soon. If the police could
be led here during the harvest, Ezra and his gang could be caught all at once. Illegally growing so
many Venom Roses, as long as the police could catch Ezra on the spot, no matter how capable he
was, it would be impossible for him to escape unscathed.
But just this, it was not enough, it was merely a Venom Rose, it couldn’t do anything to Ezra.
To frame Ezra, evidence of his illegal activities had to be found. Only then could the police arrest him
with just cause.
Thinking of this, I suddenly looked up at Marguerite who was beside me, seeing her staring wide-eyed
at the ground. Following her gaze, I couldn’t help but look over.

Catching sight of the pool of blood on the ground, I was momentarily taken aback, but quickly realized
that it was the blood left from Ezra’s arm injury when he stepped in to block Geraldine’s attack for me
earlier.
“Marguerite,” I began, attempting to draw her attention.
Hearing my voice, Marguerite turned to look at me, the worry in her dark eyes not yet hidden away. She
asked me, “What…what’s wrong? Miss, is there something wrong?” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Looking at her, I forced a smile and shook my head slightly, saying, “It’s nothing serious, just wanted to
chat with you, have a conversation, this blood…”
“It was left by the gentleman, he seemed to be seriously injured.”
I had barely uttered a word when Marguerite had already started speaking. I nodded slightly and said,
“Bleeding, it must be somewhat serious. Are you very worried about him?”
She paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head, “No, I…” Apparently at a loss for words, she
finally just blurted out, “The gentleman is a good man, everyone here wishes him well.”
This statement, indeed, took me by surprise. I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow in secret. A
thoroughly bad person, and yet someone would wish him well?
I pursed my lips and stopped talking.
In the following days, Geraldine and Ezra didn’t show up here anymore. The weather was getting
warmer, which was good for healing. I didn’t know if it was Ezra’s arrangement, but I wasn’t locked up
here anymore. I could only move around in a small house.
However, there was an additional person, Marguerite, by my
side,

who, in Sebastian’s words, was there to take care of me.
Regarding this, I didn’t say much. With Marguerite by my side, I managed to extract some information
from her. This place was Ezra’s drug plantation base, specifically for these Venom Roses. Once
matured, these things would be harvested and sent to another place for processing before being traded
worldwide.
