Chapter 103: Allison's expression remained impassive.
"I can't help you," he said in a flat, almost disdainful tone.
Find someone else who can.
Colton's brow furrowed, the tension in the room rising with his cold response.
My mother is practically begging you to give her that medicine, and you make it degrade like this! Allison, you have no decency left.
Allison barely spared him a glance, her voice heavy with indifference.
You're right.
I lack all sense of manners.
So, Mr.
Stevens, watch those fingers of yours.
Colton closed his mouth, his expression darkening as he remembered the time Allison had nearly severed his fingers, running a blade across his flesh so close he could still feel the cold.
Just the night before, he'd seen her effortlessly throw a grown man into a trash can like it was nothing.
Clearly ruthless and unyielding, Allison was no braggart.
Her voice dropped to a chilling tone as she continued: Yes, Mrs.
Stevens, you have always been generous.
You once tried to exchange a bracelet for an invitation, but I hope you don't expect to exchange a simple earring for a life-saving medicine.
Lindy forced a brittle laugh, her composure cracking.
Oh, Allison, how clever.
I'll pay anything, down to the last cent.
In every other room, Lindy commanded respect with her mere presence.
But here, Allison's sharp words had her furious, her temples throbbing with rage as the tension mounted.
Lindy had naively hoped that Allison would show some compassion, or at least a glimmer of the devotion she once had.
Instead, Allison remained distant, colder than ever.
Colton could no longer suppress his fury.
His face twisted and he snapped: Who the hell do you think you are? I don't need you for medicine.
"I'll get it myself.
" Allison raised an eyebrow, a slight glint of mockery in her eyes.
Then why have you come to me again and again, practically begging me on your knees? Find it yourself.
Without waiting for a response, she turned on her heel, clearly tired of the conversation.
Wasting her breath on these people was beneath her.
Lindy and Colton stood there, fuming but speechless, as Allison walked away.
Just as she stepped out, she nearly collided with Melany, who stood rigid, fury simmering.
behind his eyes.
Allison's gaze sharpened and she hissed, You better move.
Smart people know when to step away.
Melany froze, and the memory of Allison handling the drunk man the night before flashed vividly through her mind.
He instinctively took a few steps back, searching for an answer that he didn't replace.
Allison, however, didn't even spare him a glance, walking past him as if Melany were nothing more than an ant.
From inside the house, the loud crash of breaking glass echoed into the night: Lindy was having one of her infamous tantrums again.
Melany clenched her fists.
He had heard it all from behind the door.
How dare Lindy imply that she was beneath Allison.
What infuriated her even more was Colton's indifference—he hadn't even defended her! Melany's face softened into an expressionless mask, though her thoughts bubbled beneath the surface.
It would be better if Lindy suffered.
.
.
Anyway, the woman didn't have much time left.
Once Lindy was gone, the entire Stevens family empire would be hers.
Taking a quiet breath, Melany put aside her bitterness and entered the room, a sweet, innocent smile painted on her lips.
Lindy, please don't let May Allison upset you.
It's always been like this.
Lindy, still fuming, blurted out: I never imagined Allison could end up like this! After all those expensive things I bought her, I might as well have thrown them in the trash! Conveniently, she forgot that Allison hadn't taken any of those so-called expensive gifts with her when she left.
Seeing her mother rubbing her temples in frustration, Colton stepped forward to reassure her.
Mom, don't worry.
I've done some research.
Although Calming Capsules are difficult to replace, there is another way to get them.
A few years ago, a virtual reality game called Hacker's World became fashionable.
There are some forums about it on the dark web, and some people post rewards there, including rewards like MDH capsules.
I'm sure I can get you some.
Melany tilted her head, her tone light but laden with hidden intentions.
But the Hacker World hasn't been offline for years.
Of course, the last thing he wanted was for Lindy to get her hands on that medicine.
Colton paused, thoughtful.
Don't worry.
The original creator is said to be planning a revival.
It's only a matter of time before the Hacker World comes back online.
