The happiness on Autumn Linton’s face vanished. She sighed and said, "Chloe, have you ever once thought of me as your mother?"

Chloe Reed struggled to suppress her temper. "What’s the point of saying that now? Just get to the point. What do you want me to do to get the antidote?"

Susan Bowman snorted coldly. "You disrespectful brat. Is that any way to speak to the mother who raised you?"

"You’ve got some nerve talking about manners. You’re shameless for someone your age! When you were young, you broke up someone else’s family and corrupted their child. Even now that you’re old, you can’t stay out of trouble, just stirring it up everywhere you go. You’ll get what’s coming to you!"

Chloe Reed whipped her head around and glared at Susan Bowman. ’Grandma’s entire tragedy of a life is because of this damned old hag!’

"You... How dare you say that to me? This is outrageous!" Susan Bowman, caught completely off guard by the tirade, had an expression of fury crawl across her wrinkled face. She pointed a trembling finger at her. "You little wretch! What antidote? Diana Sutton should have died a long time ago!"

"Aunt Bowman!"

Autumn Linton cried out her name urgently, then turned to Chloe Reed and said, "Chloe, you can’t speak to her like that. She is my Aunt Bowman, and your elder."

"If you hadn’t poisoned Grandma, I wouldn’t even bother to look at you, let alone respect *her*. Does she deserve it?" Chloe Reed turned her head to look at Autumn. "Can we stop with the nonsense? What do you really want?"

SLAP!

Charles Reed slapped the tablet down on the sofa and said, "Transfer all the assets your grandmother gave you to your mother’s name. Also, you need to get Walker Grant to help find Sunny. She’s been missing for too long, and we’re very worried about her."

Chloe Reed’s long eyelashes trembled. She looked at Autumn Linton. "So this is your goal?"

’She had thought they just wanted her to find Sunny Reed. She never imagined they were also after her grandmother’s assets.’

Autumn Linton couldn’t quite meet her eyes. She coughed twice to cover her discomfort before saying, "You are not my daughter, nor are you her biological granddaughter. Of course, her things can’t be given to an outsider." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Hah..."

Chloe Reed let out a cold laugh, then said, "Fine. I agree. But you have to give me part of the antidote first."

Her eyes red, she stared intently at Autumn Linton. "She just had surgery for a brain tumor not long ago! She’s so old, her body can’t handle the poison. If you still consider her your mother, if you have even a shred of human decency, then stop torturing her like this!"

Autumn Linton was clearly ashamed by the accusation. She started to make excuses, "I just want to find Sunny, that’s all. My mom will be fine..."

"How hypocritical," Chloe Reed said coldly.

"I can help find Sunny Reed," Walker Grant spoke up at this moment. His aura was cold and imposing, and a heavy, oppressive feeling began to fill the hospital room. His jet-black, piercing eyes landed on Charles Reed.

He said, "But the transfer of assets requires the consent of the owner."

Charles Reed chuckled and said, "Don’t think I don’t know. Her grandmother already transferred all the assets to her name. All we need is her consent."

But Walker Grant said in a mild tone, "She had a lawyer notarize an agreement. She is only temporarily holding those assets and properties. The only people who can truly make the decisions are the grandmother and her biological granddaughter."

Charles Reed’s expression darkened. "What did you say?"

He looked at Chloe Reed in disbelief. "You actually had it notarized?"

Chloe Reed gave a mocking smile. "I’m not Grandma’s biological granddaughter. None of this was ever mine to begin with. Of course I had everything notarized well in advance. I just never imagined you would still be coveting it. Human greed is a truly ugly thing!"
