"You can always get someone to help. For example, the pretty Yvette. She can easily get a chance to poison Sebastian by wielding her beauty," suggested Elena.
"Sounds like you have some bad blood with that jerk. Why don't you poison him yourself?" Marcus questioned.
"I do have some grudges against that rascal, but it's nothing serious. I'd be glad to see him gone, but his presence doesn't bother me that much. He's not worth taking the risk. This is all I have to say to you. Whether or not you want to take revenge is up to you."
With that, Elena left, confident that Marcus wouldn't let go of an opportunity to get back at Sebastian.
As expected, Marcus immediately summoned Yvette after Elena left.
Yvette asked him, "Marcus, what's wrong?" He had always doted on her since she was young.
He pleaded, "Can you take revenge for me?"
"Marcus, Dad will take care of that. Don't worry," she replied.
Her response irked him, and he snapped, "Do you think I'm stupid? Our family won't risk offending the Sanders family for a cripple like me, especially since Sebastian is their future son-in-law. You're the only one I can rely on.
"Yvette, I'm begging you. Please avenge me."
"Marcus, I'd love to, but I can't," she confessed with a troubled expression.
"Of course, you're no match for that powerful jerk. That's why I prepared something for you. "He took out a vial of poison and handed it to Yvette. "This is a colorless and odorless lethal poison. You just need to charm him with your beauty and poison him."
"This won't do. It's too dangerous." She shook her head and rejected the idea.
"If you help me out, I'll pass you the techniques in the Codex of Clarity," he offered.
"Are you being serious?" Yvette was instantly tempted as the Codex of Clarity was a secret scripture within the Osborne family that was exclusively passed down the male line. As the daughter of the family's patriarch, she was barred from learning the techniques.
"Of course, I'm serious. I'll go against the family rules to get my revenge," he promised her.
"Fine. I'll avenge you!" Yvette gave in to the temptation of the Codex of Clarity and immediately agreed to help Marcus. Only by taking risks could she get what she wanted.
Soon, she came up with an idea. After changing into a sexy outfit, she knocked on Sebastian's door with a bottle of red wine in her hand.
"Yvette Osborne, you're quite daring. You're knocking on my door before I could get even with you." A cold glint flashed across Sebastian's eyes. Yvette was a cunning beauty. She was evil to the core, hiring assassins to go after him before making Maverick kill him on Phaedra Island.
"Mr. Wilder, I know I've sinned a lot in the past. That's why I'm here to beg for your forgiveness. Can you be generous and forgive me?" She pouted adorably.
Sebastian replied, "Fine. I accept your apology." He was about to slam the door shut when she slipped past him into his room.
"Mr. Wilder, I brought a bottle of fine wine with me. Let's enjoy it together." Yvette immediately uncorked the bottle and poured the wine into two glasses, not allowing Sebastian to reject her.
"Mr. Wilder, here's a toast to you." She handed him one of the wine glasses.
He accepted her offer. Then, he sniffed the glass but found nothing wrong with it.
He questioned, "Did you poison the wine or something?"
"How could that be? I wouldn't have the guts to do that." Putting on a good act, Yvette downed her wine, proving to him that the wine was safe for consumption.
Feeling reassured, Sebastian finished the wine in his glass. A gleeful grin played on Yvette's lips. She had poured the poison into the glass before pouring in the red wine. Since the poison was in powder form, it instantly dissolved upon contact with the red wine.
