C10 If She Doesn't Disappear You Won't be Able to Get the Qiao Family!

She drank the beverage without hesitation, and as her mind grew foggy, she laughed and said, "Qing, I think I'm sick. My head's spinning. Could it be heatstroke?"

When she woke up, she found herself naked, her hands and feet bound, lying on a bed. As she tried to struggle, she heard familiar voices outside.

"Zhengqing, get in touch with them soon and have them come take her away," said her stepmother, Su.

"Mom, what we're doing is illegal. I'm scared. What if we get caught?" This was Qiao's voice.

"If she doesn't disappear, you'll never get the family estate!"

"Dad favors me over her. Even if she doesn't die, the family estate will be mine eventually."

"That little brat seems harmless, but she's cunning. As long as she's alive, there's no way we can get the shares from her mom and that old man!"

"Mom, why go through all this trouble? Wouldn't it be easier to just get rid of her?" Qiao's voice was soft and gentle, and with her sweet, innocent face, who would ever suspect such words coming from her?

"You silly girl, you don't understand. We can't have blood on our hands. Since someone else wants her dead and we can make money from it, why not? With her looks, she's worth hundreds of thousands, if not millions. Better she dies at someone else's hands than ours, and the police won't trace it back to us."

Hearing that voice was like being struck by lightning. Qiao Mo's heart felt as if it had been stabbed countless times, the pain so intense it turned numb, and a metallic taste rose in her throat.

That mouth had once whispered so many sweet nothings to her! The man who claimed to love her, who promised to marry her, was now plotting her demise. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have drunk that bottle so unsuspectingly. With her skills—placing in the top three of women's marathons every year, a fan of martial arts and extreme sports—how could she have been so easily harmed under normal circumstances?

"Good thing Qing thought this through. Zhengqing, she'll wake up soon. Step outside for a bit, and we'll take care of things."

"Alright, darling, I'll wait outside."

"Mwah!" The man chuckled softly, and the woman giggled. Footsteps echoed, the door opened, and then slammed shut.

"Mom, if Dad finds out she's missing, will he suspect us?"

"Your dad despises that little brat. Five years ago, your tricks were child's play and didn't finish her off. Back then, your dad wasn't even looking."

"Mom, did her mom really run off with another man?"

"If she hadn't disappeared, you wouldn't have had these twenty years of luxury!"

"I don't know who that brat crossed, but she's done for this time. Soon, you'll be the only daughter of the family, and the inheritance will be yours. That old man left everything to her in his will, not a cent for you. But this man, he's no good. Be careful, dear."

“Mom, I'm... pregnant. I can't go through with it again. Don't worry, Qing listens to everything I say. He'll take care of you, and soon both the Lu and Qiao families will be ours.”

Qiao Mo held her breath, her anger boiling to the point of dizziness.

“You monsters, wolves in sheep's clothing, you'll get what's coming to you,” she screamed, struggling and cursing.

The mother and daughter entered with sinister smiles, shedding their facade of kindness and innocence, revealing their true malicious nature.

Qiao Chu, with a mocking gesture, said, “Dad doesn't love you anyway. Your life doesn't mean much. Someone's arranged for you to meet a drug lord who'll make you feel like you're in heaven and hell every day.”
