Chapter 483 Poison Aunt Isabella? "Not picking up, huh?" Kelvin sighed. "Guess you're more of a chicken than I thought. Where's that gentleman act now?" That got Sam riled up.
"What task? I'll do it!" Sam puffed out his chest. "There's nothing I can't handle! Dealing with a nasty woman? Bring it on!" He waved his hands around, looking kinda goofy.
Kelvin pulled out a packet of powder and dropped it in Sam's hand.
"What's this?" Sam asked.
"Poison," Kelvin said.
Sam's hand shook, almost dropping it.
"Hold it steady," Kelvin said. "Or are you chickening out now?" Sam gripped it tight. "Hah! I'm not scared, and I won't back down!" "Good," Kelvin said.
Sam, being pretty sharp, already figured out Kelvin's plan. "You wantto poison Aunt Isabella?" "Yep," Kelvin said. "This stuff works slow. She needs to take it for a while before it kicks in." "Will it kill her?" Sam asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Nope," Kelvin said.
Sam blinked. "Then why use it?" "Even though it won't kill her, it'll be worse than death," Kelvin said slowly. "When it kicks in, she'll itch all over, feel like her bones are breaking, break out in cold sweats, and it'll happen every day." Sam's face twisted up as he listened.
"What?" Kelvin asked. "Scared?" "Not scared," Sam said.
"Then what?" Kelvin asked.
Sam, "I think you're a real freak." "Alright, got it." Sam hopped off the chair. "I promise I'll get it done!" Watching him go, Kelvin's smile grew.
For sreason, he had this weird trust in Sam.
He believed Sam could pull it off! And this job was perfect for Sam. No one would suspect a kid, and no one would guard against one.
By the tIsabella figured it out, the poison would be all through her system.
By then, if Lucy's curse was lifted, the poison's pain would be Isabella's punishment! If Lucy's curse wasn't lifted, Kelvin could use the antidote to bargain with Isabella! Isabella would lift Lucy's curse, and he'd give her the antidote! A trade! He needed sleverage and couldn't be totally passive! Sam left the study and carefully hid the poison.
"Sam," as soon as he stashed it, Lucy ran over. "Where'd you go? I've been looking everywhere for you." "Just chatting with Uncle Kelvin," Sam said.
Lucy said, "That's not Uncle Kelvin, he's our da—" Sam quickly covered her mouth. "Shh, you can't say that." "Sam, why can't you call him Dad yet? And it seems like Mom's forgotten you. She acted like she didn't know you today and didn't sneak over to say hi." All this confused Lucy.

"Seeing when Kelvin will realize I'm his son." Sam winked mischievously. "Lucy, you can't tell anyone, not even Mom. I want Kelvin to figure it out himself!" Lucy still didn't quite get it but nodded anyway.
"Sam," she tugged at his sleeve, "don't you think Mom seems different?" "No, Lucy, Mom will always be our mom, the one who loves us the most. Don't overthink it," Sam said.
Sam didn't want Madison, that witch, to mess up Penelope's image in Lucy's heart! One day, Lucy would wake up and see how much Penelope had sacrificed and suffered for her! "Alright, Lucy, I'll cto the King Manor often to see you," Sam said.
"Mom isn't taking you back to the county?" Lucy asked.
"No," Sam replied. "Our whole family is staying in LA!" Lucy got all excited. "Can we go to the skindergarten?" "Yep!" Sam said.
Lucy cheered, "Yay!" "But Lucy, you should mentionless in front of Mom, preferably not at all," Sam advised. "She gets upset hearing my name. Don't add to her troubles, okay?" "Okay! Sam, whatever you say, I'll do!" Lucy said.

Brandon's car was parked at the gate, not wanting to drive in.
He was afraid he couldn't resist dragging Penelope away!

waiting for you! Madison smiled happily. "Goodbye, Sam. You're welcto cover and play with Lucy anytime." "OK," Sam responded coldly.
Madison didn't mind; she was in a great mood and didn't care about Sam.
"Mr. Walker," she added, "next tyou bring Sam over, you can invite Isabella too. We can all get together." Brandon stepped on the gas and drove away.
Lucy asked, "Mom, why didn't they answer you?" "They're tired," Madison said, not caring. "You played all day. Aren't you tired too?" "Yes!" Lucy said.
"Alright, let the nanny take you for a bath." Madison pointed to Penelope. "Do you remember Thalia?" Lucy nodded.
"From today, she'll take care of you with you a and sleep with you at night That way, you won't be scared," Madison said. Lucy turned to Kelvin. "Dad, didn't you say you'd stay with me?"
Before Kelvin could answer, Madison yanked Lucy's hand, a bit annoyed. "Dad doesn't have tto stay with you. He needs to rest at night to have energy for work during the day!" Evenings were her twith Kelvin. How could she let Lucy take that away? And tonight, with Penelope here, she would be louder than last night, making sure Penelope heard everything! Lucy was a bit stunned, standing there without speaking.
After a while, Lucy quietly said, "Got it, Mom." Penelope watched this scene, wanting to push Madison away! She gritted her teeth, walked over, and took Lucy's hand. "Please cwith me, Miss Cooper." Lucy obediently followed her but looked back at Madison with hurt in her eyes.
