Chapter 256 The Sinister Trade
Upon hearing the man's words, Janice felt a moment of hesitation, her thoughts. drifting to Sienna.
If she missed this opportunity and Sienna took advantage of it, wouldn't all the suffering she endured over the past five years be in vain?
No, it couldn't happen. Absolutely not!
Without further ado, Janice pulled out a check from her bag and threw it at the man.
"This is the last time. Keep your mouth shut tight."
The man nodded and bowed obsequiously as he looked at the staggering amount on the
check.
"Yes, Ms. Potter, you can trust me. Even if I lose all my teeth, I won't utter a word."
With a disdainful glance, Janice picked up the box of drugs, and left the underground room, heading straight for the Olson manor.
Little did she know that her whereabouts had already been discovered by Adrian.
Alexander sent the photos to Adrian, seeking guidance on the next steps.
Adrian found the hospital highly suspicious, especially considering that Janice had frequented it several times without ever taking any medication. She had explained it away, claiming that she didn't need any prescriptions because she
was perfectly healthy.
At the time, he had harbored doubts.
"Alexander, send more people to investigate that hospital. Find out what's going on!"
Adrian ordered.
"Yes, sir."
Soon after, Alexander called in a dozen people to conduct a thorough search of the hospital.
With his keen instincts, he quickly noticed something amiss: the existence of a hidden staircase leading underground.

What caught his attention even more was the so-called storage room, devoid of any dust, and the impeccably clean stairwell. Alexander exchanged a glance with his team and swiftly apprehended the staff, binding them tightly.
The staff members, realizing they were no match for their captors, divulged the secret
of the basement.
Alexander descended to investigate and unexpectedly encountered the man who had recently met with Janice in secret.
Alexander swiftly subdued him, resulting in agonizing cries of pain.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you trespass in this hospital! Believe me, police and have you arrested!"
I'll call the
Alexander wore a disdainful expression as he thoroughly searched the basement, quickly uncovering the man's nefarious activities.
Alexander forcefully stepped on the man, drew out a dagger, and pressed it menacingly between the man's fingers, his voice dripping with intimidation. "Speak up! What was that woman doing here earlier?"
The man, having received his payment, stubbornly refused to talk. "What are you saying? I don't understand. Release me immediately, or once the police arrive, you'll regret it."
Alexander gripped the man's chin forcefully, delivering a powerful twist that instantly dislocated his jaw.
The man wailed in excruciating pain.
"Ah, it hurts so much..."
"Talk, or the next thing you'll lose is your arm!"
With extensive experience working alongside Adrian, Alexander was well-equipped to handle individuals of this nature.
Those who appeared to be unyielding would eventually break under torture.
Trembling in fear, the man sprawled on the ground, resembling nothing more than a
pitiful dog begging for mercy before Alexander.
"I'll talk, I'll tell you everything, please spare me.
The man mistakenly believed that their intention was only to intimidate him and not to cause any actual harm.
However, Alexander's actions clearly demonstrated otherwise, dispelling his
misconception.
"That woman bought a high-priced aphrodisiac incense from me, and that was it," the man confessed.
Alexander released his grip on the man's arm and firmly held him down.
"Tell me, how many times did you sell it to her?"
"Twice, oh no, three times, just three times..."
