Chapter 240
Soon, Harvey and the stunning Serena entered the study, one after the other. Both kept their heads down, afraid to meet Kane’s eyes, which were filled with murderous intent.
“Honey, w–what’s going on?” Serena stammered, her voice trembling as she spoke first.
Kane’s cold gaze swept over her curvy figure, then landed on Harvey. Then, he ordered flatly, Get on your knees!”
Harvey forced a smile, trying to hide his nervousness. “Dad, what’s going on? Why does it feel like you’ve changed after seeing Dr. Aicker? Has your condition worsened?”
Kane roared, “You bastard, I told you to kneel! Didn’t you hear me?”
Harvey’s smile faltered, and reluctantly fell on his knees, his heart pounding rapidly.
Kane coughed violently, barely managing to control himself. His shaking finger pointed at
both of them.
“You have one chance to confess,” he said coldly. “Who poisoned me? Was it one of you, or did you both have a hand in it?”
At this, Serena almost collapsed to the floor, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Harvey’s face darkened. He had not expected the poisoning to be discovered so soon. However he forced himself to look shocked and asked, “Dad, what are you talking about? Poisoned? How could that be?”
Kane’s icy stare pierced through him. “Well, you two tell me. So much for the love and respect you claim to have for me!”
Harvey feigned ignorance, saying, “Dad, are you sure? Even if you’re sick, it has nothing to do
with me or Serena.”
Kane’s eyes narrowed dangerously. Ignoring Harvey, he turned his gaze to Serena. “You bitch, I’ve entrusted my daily life to you. Now answer me did you poison me?”
Serena immediately shook her head frantically. “Honey, it’s not me. I don’t know anything about it. Please, don’t ask me.”
Kane’s heart sank, and the last bit of color drained from his face. He knew his woman all too well. The more she denied it, the more she panicked, which only confirmed his suspicions.
Everything pointed to her.
His eyes went bloodshot with rage as he growled, “Serena, I can’t believe this. I’m going to kill you.”
Serena screamed and collapsed to the floor, crying in desperation. “Honey, I didn’t mean to. Please don’t kill me. I beg you, don’t kill me! I did it because someone forced me! I’ll confess

to everything. Just please, spare my life!”
She continued to sob and beg, crying and pleading for mercy.
Harvey, who had been kneeling beside them, felt a sharp tension in his forehead as veins pulsed visibly. A cold, ruthless look began to form in his eyes.
Kane’s body swayed once again, the anger and despair reaching a boiling point. He barked, Tell me who ordered you to poison me. If you lie to me, I’ll bury you alive right here!”
Kane’s voice grew hoarse with rage as he barely held himself together.
Serena’s beautiful face twisted with fear, and she glanced nervously toward Harvey. Slowly, she turned her gaze back to Kane and, gritting her teeth, pointed at Harvey.
Then, she yelled, “It was him! It was Harvey! He forced me to poison you. He wanted you
dead!
Kane’s smile turned bitter. Although he had suspected it for a while, hearing the truth was still a crushing blow. He could not believe that he had raised such a cold–blooded monster.
Harvey stood up without hesitation, laughing maniacally. “That’s right, Dad. The one who wanted you dead wasn’t anyone else; it was me, your very own son.”
