Chapter 380 The Tide Turns +8 Pearls
Taylor leaned in to look at the blood test report. She wasn’t entirely sure if the medicine Dr. Rylie gave them would really not show up in a test.
But Kyla simply looked at the report and gave a cold laugh. “Filthy old things. No shame at all, even at your age.”
Kyla had always been gentle, so when she suddenly cursed like that, everyone in the room turned to her in shock, thinking she had been driven mad.
Taylor also caught sight of something on the report and let out a mocking laugh.
The Powell family members looked at the two of them in confusion.
Jensen roared, “Seeing your own evidence, you don’t even bother pretending anymore?”
But Kyla, in the same manner, flung the report straight back at Jensen’s face. “You’re the ones not even pretending. Living such pathetic lives, making the whole family drink deer blood wine and then blaming my daughter. From old to young, absolutely shameless!”
Deer blood wine?
Jensen hastily unfolded the report – it showed no traces of stimulants, only a note that deer blood wine could explain their symptoms.
Yunice lifted the corners of her lips, standing silently at the back, watching it all unfold.
Having spent eighteen years with the Powell family, Yunice knew their habits better than anyone.
Jensen and Jackson both had a habit of drinking deer blood wine to maintain their masculine energy, but they usually paid careful attention to dosage.
All Yunice had done was increase the dosage slightly, using Taylor’s hand to deliver it.
As for Linda, who had never drunk deer blood wine before, she had no tolerance, so even a small amount made her react.
Taylor, although seated at the same table, hadn’t eaten the fish. Yunice had deliberately kept her away from it, because the deer blood wine had been mixed into the fish stew Jensen liked. The wine was hidden so well that no one noticed.
Later, Taylor had brought the half-finished plate of fish to see Paul. Paul had someone throw away the food she brought – unintentionally destroying the evidence. No one would be able to trace anything now.
At this moment, Jensen stood there speechless, the old man’s face turned bright red, and Paul’s face alternated between pale and furious.
Meanwhile, Kyla pointed at the three men and began cursing them without restraint, every word sharper than the last. “You two rotten old scumbags, and you – you worthless piece of trash. You bring your own filth and rot to the table, can’t control yourselves, and then try to dump the blame on my daughter? You even dare to lay a hand on her! What do you think this is – the Qing dynasty? You think marrying into your family makes my daughter your maid?”
Taylor stared at her mother in disbelief, as if she didn’t recognize her. She could curse like this?
Kyla wasn’t done. She continued, “Don’t think today’s matter is over. If you’re not finished, I’m even less finished! You laid a hand on my daughter today, then the Powell family and the Kendall family are finished. We’re pulling all our investment!”
“Pulling investment?” The old man’s brows lowered, using that same overbearing posture. “You’re just a woman. You don’t have the authority to make that decision.”
Kyla laughed wildly. When Taylor married into the Powell family, she brought a hundred billion as a dowry. If the Kendall family pulled their investment, could the Powell family not panic?
But in the Powell family’s eyes, the real power in the Kendall family was held by Mr. Kendall. Kyla, as a mere housewife, wasn’t seen as having any say over the group’s investments.
They were dead wrong.
Kyla said, “Before I had my daughter, I was the head of Kendall Group. I hold the majority shares. Even the shareholders' meetings had to get my approval. Tell me – do I have the authority to pull the investment?”
She had played the gentle wife and loving mother role for over twenty years – had they really forgotten she had once been a queen of the business world?
If she wanted to pull out the investment, she didn’t even need her husband’s permission!
“And moreover—you think pulling the investment is the end? When my husband gets back, you’ll see what real consequences look like!” Kyla’s words rang out powerfully.
The daughter she had raised with such care and love was not someone for the Powell family to bully!
Under the Powell family’s stunned stares, Kyla protected Taylor and strode out proudly.
As she passed Paul, Taylor gave him a cold snort: Who’s the winner now?
Paul’s face turned dark, his gaze shifting from Taylor to Yunice.
Earlier, Yunice had been doing her best to blend into the background. Now, as she followed behind the Kendall family, ready to leave too, Paul suddenly reached out to block her.
“You’re not allowed to leave,” Paul said.
Yunice lifted her gaze and met his eyes.
Paul said coldly, “Who gave you permission to meddle in the Powell family’s affairs?”
The Kendall family could leave – but Yunice couldn’t!
Taylor and Kyla hadn’t gone far yet. Taylor turned around, her steps halting, and stared warningly at Paul.
Kyla also turned back and looked at Yunice. She said, “Young lady, come with us.”
But it was no use. Paul, seeing that things were already torn apart anyway, ignored Kyla’s words.
He refused to let Yunice go. “Mind your own Kendall family business. Powell family matters are none of your concern!”
Kyla’s face darkened. But Paul wasn’t wrong – they were on his territory now, and she and Taylor were just two women. If they tried to force Yunice away, they would be at a disadvantage.
But neither of them left. They stood there guarding Yunice.
