Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 523

Yolanda took out sanitizing wipes from her coat pocket and placed a bead onto the wipe. Then, she held the bead between her thumb and index finger and pinched it hard. The red coral bead split in half.

Knox and the rest inhaled sharply. They were surprised that Yolanda was able to pinch the bead and split it into two. Also, they were shocked to see that the bead was hollow in the middle.

As the bead split open, the red powder inside had also spilled all over the sanitizing wipes.

"This is a deadly poisonous medicinal powder mainly from the Baltique Datura plant. The poison may be sealed in the red coral bead, but it would also seep through it and enter the bracelet wearer's body.

"The wearer wouldn't exhibit any symptoms in a short time; but if worn more than half a year, all the organs of the wearer would then be corroded. Even the best machines in the hospital wouldn't be able to find out why."

Yolanda's words made the conference room sink into pin-drop silence.

Cianna and Kelly felt their hair stand after hearing Yolanda's words.

Knox was stunned. After a long while, he asked, "Is this in all the other beads as well?"

"Yes. Do you need me to pull them all apart and show them to you?" Yolanda picked up another bead and was about to pull it apart.

"No! No need!" Knox waved his hands as soon as he could.

"This is why I said the person that sold you this wants you dead."

"I have no intentions to kill you, Ms. Henderson." Knox was suddenly very anxious as he explained.

"Before this, I really liked it when I saw it. That's why I bought it and was thinking about giving it to you as a token of apology since you ladies like jewelry. I—"

"I know this has nothing to do with you." Yolanda might not trust Knox 100%, but Knox's intelligence couldn't have allowed him to think of such an intricate plan to cause harm to others.

On the way to Creekhaven, Yolanda called Joel to ask about the Tartarus Abyss robbers, only for him to tell her that the robbers had all died from a heart attack after they had arrived at the police station. They had died before they could be interrogated.

Without witnesses, it would be more difficult for them to gather evidence.

Joel knew it was ridiculous for them to all have concurrent heart attacks, but since the autopsy report stated that everything was normal, he was at wit's end.

Joel could definitely bring men to search Caldwell Antiques and bring Edna in for interrogation. Still, before their search warrant could be approved, the officials in Creybia had sent a notice to pressure the Riverdale government, warning them that they couldn't arrest someone without having concrete evidence.

Joel could only let things go temporarily. He had arranged for men to watch Edna discreetly, hoping to find a breakthrough from her so they could find something to hold against Caldwell Antiques.

Alas, his men hadn't given him anything substantial yet. Regarding this case, there was no progress on his end at all.

After Yolanda hung up, she felt she did the right thing by going with Knox this time.
