Chapter 397
Ben looked at Eason and said, “My men found out that Jagger’s family members seem to be under Ava’s control, and they are looking for opportunities to rescue them.”
“I think you know what to do next. I’m going to find my wife. These people have caused my wife to be haunted with fear all this time. You should get rid of them as soon as possible,” after saying that, Ben left without looking back.
Eason, who had recklessly left the financial problem aside, knew that now he should straighten it out.
As for Ava, he would not be soft–hearted towards her like his father. After all, she had been a threat to his family members‘ lives.
Eason was aware that it was impossible for Ava to do that with no backing, so she needed Jagger’s help.
Eason came to the place where Jagger was locked up.
“I know you’re worried about your family, but have you ever thought about whether your family can survive after you die?” Eason said.
Jagger seemed to have thought of something, kneeling down in front of Eason tearfully.
“Your Highness, please save my family. They are innocent and aware of nothing. Please help me for the sake of our painstaking efforts in guarding the royal family for generations, Jagger said.
As he spoke, a guàrd walked over and whispered something to Eason. Eason smiled, thinking that Ben was indeed awesome.
“It’s really good news. Jagger, do you want to know what it is?” Eason said.
“What good news can I get? Jagger paused for a moment and said ecstatically, “Did you save my family, your Highness?”
“You aren’t stupid,” as Eason spoke, he winked at the guard who had just spoken.
The guard immediately clicked on the video that showed Jagger’s family. Looking at his family, Jagger couldn’t help crying.
Jagger, who calmed down in a short while, said, “Ava forced me to do all this. At first, I did it for money, but Jater things just got out of hand because they got evidence against me. Nevertheless, I also got evidence against them. In addition to the people she colluded with in Tonico, I know that she has the backing of an organization, but I don’t know the specific details.”
Jagger stared at him with a troubled look, continuing, “Your Highness, you must watch out for yourself. It is not easy to deal with that organization. Moreover, I beg you to protect my family.”
Eason nodded at him and left. With the evidence Jagger offered, he could arrest Ava.
So he held a cabinet meeting.
The ministers looked at each other in puzzlement because they, who had been more or less influenced by Ava recently, thought that Eason wanted to take over his father’s position. They asked, “Why do you hold the meeting today, your Highness?”
“I summon you here today to discuss an important matter. Princess Ava colluded with outsiders to poison the King. What punishment do you think should be imposed on her? Eason asked.
All of them were in an uproar, especially the one who colluded with Ava. His face was pale, but he still said firmly, “Your Highness, you can’t slander her Highness, do you have any evidence?” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Evidence? You do need evidence. Since I dare to say that, I certainly have solid evidence,” Eason said, looking at him with disdain and throwing all the evidence at him.
He hurriedly picked it up and checked it. After that, he fell directly to the ground because he knew that it was impossible for him to defend himself.
The other ministers immediately asked to arrest Ava and all the other people who got involved in this. All the guards instantly took action, for fear that they would run away.
Eason couldn’t wait to come to the place, where Ava was imprisoned, to interrogate her, “Where is the antidote?”
“Ha–ha, don’t even think about it. There’s no antidote at all,” Ava said crazily, “Go to hell, all of you! If all of you die, I can be the king. Unfortunately, you didn’t drink the soup that day.”
“Do you think you’re worthy of the throne? My father is aware of what you’ve done and just didn’t tear the mask off your face considering that you are his sister. He’s so nice to you, but you intended to kill him.” Eason said indignantly. He really wanted to kill her, but his remaining reason told him that he couldn’t.
“Arresting me is meaningless. You still can’t save your father, haha,” Ava said and laughed crazily, seeming to have lost her mind.
Thinking that he could not get anything out of Ava for the time being and Judith might have a solution, Eason turned to Judith.
Eason went to the laboratory first. Although he knew that Thomas was the Medical Mystic, he was still a little worried.
Seeing Thomas studying the reagents seriously in the laboratory, Eason didn’t disturb him and just told Judith about what Ava had done.
“No one can help her out this time. I’ll go and see her. Maybe she will say something, Judith said with a frustrated look.
She looked at Alexander, saying, “You’ve tolerated her all these years, but not only did she try to kill you, but she also wanted to kill our son. I’m sure you’ll support me to do this.” Tears streamed down her face as she spoke.
“Mom, it’s unsafe for you to go there,” Eason said worriedly.
Judith shook her head resignedly, saying, “I may be the only one who has a chance to get something from her. Don’t worry, she has been locked up and won’t be able to hurt me.”
Thinking that Ava wouldn’t be able to hurt Judith with him around, Eason agreed.
Susan gazed at them worriedly, but she knew that she could do nothing about it.
When they arrived, Judith said, “Let me talk to her alone.” Although Eason was a little worried, he still left them some space. He stood outside so that he could rush in immediately if anything happened.
An hour later, Judith came out with her face bathed in tears.
Eason walked up to her in a hurry and asked, “Mom, are you OK?”
“I’m fine. You can get in and talk to her now. I think she will tell you this time,” Judith wiped her tears and said calmly.

Eason sent someone to take Judith back to the hospital, and then quickly got in, finding that Ava composedly.
“I bought the poison from an organization called the Phoenix Collective. It’s a new poison, so they haven’t developed the antidote to it yet. I didn’t lie to you. As for the organization that helped me do all this, it was Harrison who told me about it. You are no match for them. They are very powerful and influential in many fields and countries,” Ava said.
Eason was shocked. After all, he had never heard of this organization.
