Triumph Of The Belittled Son-in-law CHAPTER 164
It wasn’t the same look from the inside though because the external part was very well punished and painted with beautiful colors. At least, that was how she remembered it to be during the years she visited her friend, Arianna regularly.“Who is in there?” A voice from inside asked - the voice sounded like that of a child.“It’s me, Sarah. Are you Arianna’s child? I need to see Arianna - tell your mum that it’s me if you are her child,” Sarah responded.There was a brief silence that got Sarah wondering if she had gotten the wrong address. Perhaps the house had been sold out to another person, she thought.But the door suddenly flung open. It was her friend Arianna. Her face lit up like fireworks and her smile was as wide as the summer beam as she rushed to embrace Sarah.“Wow, I can’t believe who it is!” Arianna spoke excitedly, her words coming out in a rush of excitement.“You better believe Ariana,” Sarah spoke, her voice beaming with energy.Arianna was the only person who could

“What? You need a gun?” Arianna responded with a question as if she was mimicking what Sarah had earlier said.“Yes, Arianna. I need a gun.”Arianna’s hands grasped with a frantic struggle of confusion. “Well, Sarah. First of all, that’s not a difficult thing. Everyone owns a gun nowadays. You can even get one at stores that have been licensed for such a since it would be licensed as you are receiving it. I don’t see why—”Sarah cut her short again. “Yes, I know but I am asking you. You know that it takes 24 to 48 hours for the licensing and registration process to be completed.” “Sometimes it’s even more than that. But I could always have you give me yours. That’s why I am here actually and as you already predicted, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for something important. I am really running against time right now and I can’t afford to waste any more minutes.”Arianna’s laugh was a disbelieving chuckle and her eyes were contorted with a bemused glint. “Wait, so this is really seriou

“Arianna, this is why I told you earlier that I will give you the full details later. I can’t start explaining everything to you because I will have to go into detail which takes time. What I can do is to tell you when I am done.”“And why don’t you hire assassins? I could help with that and it would be so much easier hiring real thugs to do that as long as you can pay them,” Arianna suggested.For a brief moment, Sarah thought about the idea of having assassins do what she needed to do at Doctor Lopez’s office but she changed her mind because even if she was able to render Doctor Lopez silenced, she still had to recognize the antidote. It was best that she did it herself then because she at least had a graphic description of how it was supposed to look like.“Don’t worry about hiring assassins. I would go about the task myself,” Sarah responded after having a lot of deliberation in her head.Arianna’s resolve crumbled with a weakening surrender. “Hmm, I just hope that this is not the

Anyway, as much as she knew that it was going to be easier doing that in his house, she always knew that the antidote which was her main goal wasn’t going to be in his house. He gave a hint to that effect on the day that Lady Winston was injected with the virus.Sarah’s gaze was a clouded doubt and her changing features were a troubled canvas that revealed her inner conflict. The more she tried to keep her composure, the more she struggled woefully at it.“Are you visiting Doctor Lopez on behalf of Paul?” The secretary asked. “We haven’t received any directive from Mr. Leonard that you were going to be coming.”Sarah’s fingers twitched with a nervous energy with her posture unsettled. She had to say that she was from Paul, she thought. If she said she came on her own accord, she would be inviting a flurry of other questions that she might not be able to answer. Even though any answer she gave was always going to carry some risk, it was better to take the safer option.“I was directed

“It’s been a project I had been working on for many years. That’s why if you examine Lady Winston's state, it’s very strange - one moment she is is still and unresponsive while another moment she is convulsing with so much torment.”Doctor Lopez was having fun hyping himself up. His gestures were a lively dance and physical manifestation of the playful enthusiasm that coursed through him. “I think I am a little too good with my mixtures. You know, there is something I am working on. It’s just a little secret,” he said, his lips twisting as if he didn’t want to walls to hear him.“There is a combination of organic and ionic compounds that if mixed in a particular way and you inject it into yourself, you might not need food at least for a week, haha.”Doctor Lopez’s laughter was a triumphant cackle and a bellowing roar in celebration of his achievements. “I am working on that mixture and that would be yet another wonderful research of mine. I can’t leak some of these things to the outs

“But we can’t just fall into their hands just like that,” Doctor Lopez argued, his breath hitched with a gasping struggle as he fought the choking grip of his panic.“We are already in their hands at it stands, Doctor,” Sarah spoke.“I will stay here. I won’t come outside. After all, I like it very much in my new office,” Doctor Lopez suggested, his voice tinged with an intensity of his panic.“If I could get to you here from my office in just a few minutes, think about how much it would be easier for them to get to you?” Sarah reacted, her posture a rigid dominance as she sought to pressure Doctor Lopez into submission.Doctor Lopez’s face was a puzzle of bewilderment and uncertainty as he darted around nervously.“As far as I am concerned, I am not ready to let them get me again. I am ready to surrender everything to them as long as they would leave me alone. I advise that you do the same too or else, they are coming to kill us. I have a baby who I kept at the daycare who still need

She quickly swallowed her embarrassment and pointed the gun the right way. After all, it didn’t seem like Doctor Lopez had noticed it - he was too scared to have noticed it and even if he did, he didn’t have the energy to jolt out of his shock.Sarah leaped away from her seat quickly and took a few steps backward but her gun was still pointed directly at Doctor Lopez and her eyes were narrow with a deadly squint of dread. She had to be as rigid as possible to get Doctor Lopez scared enough to hand over the antidote.Sarah moved her body like the stealthy cunning of a snake as she tracked the doorknob and locked it before someone burst into the officer and alerted the security that there was an intruder.The thoughts of how she would escape such a big building if peradventure she shot Doctor Lopez and other employees heard it was creeping into her mind but she waded it off before it gained more hold on her. It wasn’t the time to start thinking about all of that. If there was a complica

She was too late when she landed on Doctor Lopez, their eyes stuck to each other in tension as it was as if both were waiting for each other to make the first move again.Sarah knew that even though Doctor Lopez was in his 50s and perhaps not as vibrant as when he was younger, there was a chance that she could still not square up to Doctor Lopez in physical combat.Sarah retraced her gaze to the bottle containing the antidote that Doctor Lopez flung to the ground. She realized that the bottle didn’t break after all, neither did the cover removed from its neck. There was no point engaging in a tussle with Doctor Lopez, she thought.Her posture was contorted with menace as she flailed her arms and darted toward the bottle to pick it up. That was her aim but if she could leave Doctor Lopez’s office without having to put a bullet in him as he had earlier tried to do, that would be even better.Doctor Lopez wasn’t going to have her get it so easily. He forbade in his mind that Sarah would
