In the past few days, he had been stifled by Nathan, insulted, and belittled by everyone, leaving him feeling a mix of anger and sorrow.
The words Melody had said before her imprisonment echoed in his mind.
“Brinleigh! I don’t want to spend the rest of my life behind bars.
Once I’m in jail, those inmates will undoubtedly torment me. I’ll be going through constant hell!
Lucinda and Nathan are the ones responsible for this. You have to help me get rid of them! Else, I’ll never consider you my brother!
Dad and Mom won’t be pleased either!”

And just two days ago, the renowned actress Valerie had also paid him a visit.
Lost in his thoughts, Brinleigh made his way to the kitchen and discreetly pocketed some rat poison he had found in the storage room.
As Zane prepared to deliver juice to Lucinda, Brinleigh halted him.
Wearing an apologetic smile, Brinleigh said, “Allow me to handle this.
I deeply regret having upset the lovely ladies in the private room earlier. I wish to apologize to them personally.”
“Apologize? Oh, please. You’ll only make things worse. And I’ll have to clean up the mess,” Zane retorted.
Brinleigh firmly grasped the tray of juice, refusing to let go.
“I genuinely apologize for dragging you into this situation. As compensation, I’ll give you my entire day’s salary.”
Zane’s expression brightened.
“You’re a clever one. Go ahead, then.”
Brinleigh took hold of the tray and, with nervous glances around, cautiously brought out the poison from his pocket.
It was his first time engaging in such an act. This caused his hands to tremble uncontrollably.
But when he remembered Valerie’s promise to him, he summoned his courage. When no one was watching, he discreetly poured the poison into the drinks, watching as the white powder dissolved and vanished into the juice.
However, before he could finish pouring all the powder, his wrist was abruptly seized.
Startled, he looked up and found Sonny standing there.
In a hushed tone, Sonny inquired, “What did you put in there?”
Nathan who was a few meters away, advanced toward them with an intense expression and a menacing glint in his eyes.
Brinleigh panicked. His fear of Nathan was evident on his face.
