Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 2116

Lily knew Fred was right and that they would remain in the standoff if she did not let him go. Moreover, Fred refused to yield, and his men might shoot Lily or her babies if things dragged on.

Still, she did not let him go so quickly. “Since I broke your arm, what if you hurt my children after I release you?”

“Believe me, I wanted to,” Fred said, nodding. He kept gasping in pain as his eyes were full of hatred. “However, I know it won’t do me any good. You won’t mind getting hurt to get back at me if I lay a finger on your children.”

After a pause, he continued through clenched teeth, “Don’t worry. I promise to never take it out on your children. I’ll settle our score in the future, but not now, alright?”

However, Lily could not simply take his word for it, so she pulled him up and gripped his cheeks, forcing his mouth open.

“What are you—” Before he could finish, he felt Lily stuffing something into his mouth, and it slid down his throat. After confirming that he had swallowed the thing, Lily shoved him off her.

Immediately after, the guards lunged forward to pin her down.

Lily did not resist and stared at Fred as he desperately tried to force himself to throw up by shoving his fingers inside his throat. He shouted, “What did you make me swallow?!”

“Poison,” Lily shrugged and added, “One that dissolves upon contact with water. Your stomach acid has probably dissolved it already. Even if you throw up now, it won’t make a difference. Of course, you can try if you want.”

Fred snapped. “Why should I believe you?!”

Lily smiled faintly, saying, “I can ask you the same.”

Fred nodded as he clenched his teeth angrily. “Fine! When will you give me the antidote?”

“You’ll have it when you release my children.” Lily guessed what Fred must be thinking and smiled. “Of course, you can also try getting someone else to make you an antidote.”
