Meanwhile, at the Vance residence, someone had called Vincent Vance right after the milk tea was handed over, confirming it was placed on Winona's desk.
Vincent waited until evening for the news of Winona being poisoned.
The milk tea was laced with a lethal toxin. Five sips were all it would take to make resuscitation impossible.
That bitch Winona had dodged the driver incident, but there was no way she could dodge this!
With a cold face, Vincent called The Lockwood Family again, urging them to act quickly. He absolutely refused to let his son suffer in jail for a single day.
He had expended a tremendous amount of effort trying to bail Wesley out.
Wesley was his son. Even if the boy tore a hole in the sky, Vincent would patch it up.
If time hadn't been so tight, he would never have let that bitch Winona off with such an easy death.
Vincent pulled up some photos on his phone, stared at them, and let out a sigh.
Finally, a call came through, stating that someone from the TV station had been rushed to the ER—but it wasn't Winona.
Vincent's face twisted into an ugly scowl. He stood up abruptly. "You can't even handle a simple task like this?!"
The person on the other end was too terrified to speak and swallowed hard.
Vincent took a deep breath. Just then, another call came in. It was from a recent business partner.
And a very difficult one to deal with at that. The partner currently held all the leverage and had been delaying their contract negotiations.
Vincent's company was just one step away from going public. Once they did, The Vance Family's status in Empire City would take a massive leap forward.
This partner, Mr. Tyson, had a notorious weakness for women. Vincent had sent several young women his way before, but Tyson was used to beauties. He took the women but continued to stall the contract. This financing deal involved hundreds of millions of dollars, so Vincent had no choice but to be patient.
Suddenly, he remembered Winona's face.
Since two attempts on her life had failed, why not maximize the value of that face?
