"Brother..." Xila recognized Ling Ran's voice and let out a sharp cry.

Seeing Xila's anxious expression, Bradley curled his lips coldly and gave a ruthless order, "Kill Ling Ran and then bring his body to me."

"Yes."

Soon, there were miserable screams coming from the other end of the phone.

Xila was frightened. Her previous arrogance disappeared, and her proud head gradually drooped.

"If you want me to tell you everything, then let my brother go. Otherwise, even if my brother and I die, we will take these secrets to hell. As for you and Freya, just wait for the Lady's devastating revenge."

Bradley said into the phone, "Don't kill him for now. Wait for my news."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and looked at Xila with cold eyes.

At the same time.

In the Solterra dungeon.

Patrick listened to the beeping sound on the phone and threw the phone onto the sofa with a helpless look on his face.

His subordinate came over and reported, "Patrick, should we still kill this guy?"

Patrick looked up and roared angrily, "Kill? What are you talking about? Bradley said not to kill him."

Ling Ran had tried to escape several times. He had just made another attempt, forcing Patrick to lead his men to chase him all over the street. If it weren't for the fact that this bastard was seriously injured and couldn't run fast, he would have really escaped from his grasp.

Patrick thought that keeping Ling Ran alive was a threat, so he called Bradley to report on getting rid of this person. But who knew what Bradley was up to? One moment he wanted Ling Ran dead, and the next he didn't.

Patrick tugged at his collar irritably, walked up to Ling Ran, and punched him directly.

"I'll spare your life for now. But if anything happens to Xin Yao, I promise I'll cut you into a thousand pieces and scatter your remains everywhere."

Although the toxicity in Xin Yao's body had been suppressed, she was very restless at night. Madeline had been doing her best for the two children, and just yesterday, she had finally collapsed from exhaustion.

Patrick took out all his anger on Ling Ran. At this moment, he really wanted to kill him.

"Also, I forgot to tell you something. Your sister has been captured in Stolan. I advise you to behave yourself. If you try to escape again, I'll cut off your legs and send them directly to her."

After throwing out these words, Patrick straightened his suit and strode out of the basement.

Behind him, Ling Ran's hysterical howls could be heard, "If you dare to hurt my sister, I'll make you pay the price."

Patrick sneered. Ling Ran still dared to threaten him even when he was on the verge of death. He was so overconfident.

He returned to the bedroom. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Madeline still holding Xin Yao in her arms. He quickly stepped forward and took the child from her, "Madeline, you're still having a fever. Why did you get up?"

His voice was filled with undisguised concern.

Madeline smiled helplessly, "It's just a minor cold. It's not as serious as you think. Give Xin Yao back to me. I'm cultivating a relationship with my future daughter-in-law."

Future daughter-in-law...

Patrick was stunned for a moment. When did this happen? Why didn't he know about it?

Moreover, Xin Yao was going to be the queen in the future. Did that mean their son would have to marry into her family?

No!

Although Patrick had strong genes, the Perry family also had a good reputation. How could their son marry into another family in a humble way?

"Madeline, Xin Yao is nice, but she's not suitable for our son. Of course, if Freya has a second child and it's a girl, we can consider it." Patrick coaxed her gently.

Upon hearing this, Madeline snorted, "I like Xin Yao. I really like her. I've also decided that when Freya comes back to the country, I'll arrange a baby betrothal between our children."

Xin Yao was very cute and loved to laugh. Every time Madeline made her laugh, Madeline's heart would feel at ease.

She also wanted to have a daughter, but after trying so hard for so long, she still hadn't gotten pregnant.

Madeline had figured it out. Since she had no luck with having a daughter, she might as well treat Xin Yao as her own.

Anyway, Xin Yao was Freya's child, and their relationship was so close. It didn't matter whose daughter she was.

Patrick let out a helpless sigh, "If you really want a daughter, I'll try harder."

"No, I've thought it through. Giving birth is so painful. I don't want to have a baby anymore." Madeline played with Xin Yao. The little one giggled sweetly, almost melting Madeline's heart.

Patrick didn't say anything when he heard her say that.

The decision to have a child was entirely up to Madeline. As for him, he just needed to do his part and enjoy the process.

"I'm going to talk to Sean about the progress of the antidote. Don't get up for too long. Have a good rest."

Madeline didn't look up and just replied, "I know. Go and do your work."

Patrick didn't stay any longer and turned around to go to the medical room.

Sean had just walked out of the laboratory, and the two of them happened to meet at the door.

Patrick asked anxiously, "So, has there been any progress on the antidote?"

Sean nodded and said, "We're already conducting clinical trials. If the results are good, it can be used on Xin Yao."

"That's great." Patrick clapped his hands in delight.

Sean put his hand on Patrick's shoulder and patted it. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, "But this medicine has side effects. And if we're not careful, it may even cause brain damage. I think we must report this to Freya. After all, Xin Yao is her daughter."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Patrick's face faded. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean by brain damage?"

Sean carefully considered the situation before speaking slowly, "Although this poison won't be fatal, since Xin Yao has been poisoned for a long time, the toxicity has already invaded her internal organs. Although I've developed an antidote specifically for this, the side effects of this antidote cannot be ignored. It may lead to cerebral palsy, and in severe cases, it may even cause intellectual disabilities."

Patrick's face turned very pale.

Xin Yao was the future queen of Stolan. If she became cerebral palsy or intellectually disabled, how could she shoulder the responsibility of leading a country in the future?

Moreover, this was Bradley and Freya's child. How could they accept this news?

Patrick picked up his phone and immediately called Bradley.

……

In the dungeon.

Bradley looked at Xila with a bloodthirsty gaze, and his voice was as cold as if it had been soaked in an icy pond.

"Speak."

This single word carried great power.

Xila hung her head to one side, and blood flowed down her arm in a continuous stream.

In the silent space, there was a ticking sound.

"The Lady does have the formula for the Beast Venom in her hands. And she cooperated with the people of the Zhan Fa family using this formula, causing the venom to mutate and develop dependence."

After a while, Xila's weak voice was heard, "Since you've already captured Bai Su, you should know that she was training an army of dead soldiers. And the Lady's cooperation with the Zhan Fa family is to use the power of the Zhan Fa family to train her own group of loyal followers, so as to take over the entire Stolan and establish her prestige in the international arena!"

Freya's eyes widened in disbelief.

She never expected that after getting rid of Bai Su, there was still the Lady, who actually intended to control the whole world.

It was simply crazy!
