Many people knew of the existence of the Spring Snow Herb, but why would a petty criminal be aware of it?

Neil’s gaze instinctively turned to Katelyn. Katelyn was friends with Hades. Could she have disclosed this information? This revelation could potentially affect his grandmother’s health adversely.

Carol was also startled by these words. Noticing Katelyn wasn’t in the room, Carol quickly pulled out her phone to text Katelyn, “Katelyn, are you at the wedding? What’s going on?”

Few were aware, but Carol knew that Hades was actually Katelyn. Her primary concern wasn’t the unfolding chaos but the possibility that Katelyn might be involved, given the Wheeler family’s history of mistreatment toward her.

Katelyn responded promptly, “Not sure, but don’t worry. I may interfere if necessary.”

Katelyn’s assured response brought a sense of relief to Carol. She reclined in her chair, eager to see how Lise would handle the day’s events.

She hoped the situation would open her grandson’s eyes to the fact that Lise was not the right choice for him. She was all too familiar with the saying that a problematic daughter-in-law could bring enduring strife to a family, and this was no joke.

A sense of relief momentarily washed over Lise. So, the fuss was about the Spring Snow Herb, but this was unrelated to her actions. She felt she didn’t need to be overly concerned.

Zoey observed Lise’s reactions with a subtle smirk on her lips. Did Lise really think she could relax just because she hadn’t been implicated yet?

Naive!

Suddenly, Calvin kicked the person he had in custody and said, “This guy broke into Hades’ clinic and stole the Spring Snow Herb. I caught him red-handed.”

Calvin casually took out a cigarette, lit it, inhaled deeply, and exhaled a ring of smoke before addressing Neil again.

“So I held onto him. Guess what?”

The suspense had everyone on the edge of their seats, captivated by what Calvin might disclose next.

Even though turning the thief over to Neil could be profitable, Calvin’s demeanor hinted at a deeper complexity.

With the crowd and media watching, Neil’s expression became increasingly severe and impatient. He said coldly, “Hand over the Spring Snow Herb, take your reward, and leave!”

Clearly, Neil was not interested in prolonging the interaction with a criminal.

Lise then said to Zoey, “Miss Powell, thank you for retrieving this individual and the Spring Snow Herb, but please, let’s not escalate this further. Today is my wedding.” She struggled to maintain her composure. With all eyes on her, she knew she couldn’t afford any display of anger.

However, Calvin pointed directly at Lise and accused, “She’s the one who sent this man to steal the Spring Snow Herb!”

“What!” The shock was immediate. Everyone stared, unable to believe their ears.

But it was impossible that they had all heard it wrong, not with so many people around.
