Her voice quivered with a desperate urgency as she added, "You must leave the Sinclair family behind. Go to Kingston. Find Sebastian Whitmore..." "Mom!" Lillian suddenly jolted awake, her heart pounding wildly. Darkness surrounded her, thick and suffocating, while a foul stench of decay hung heavy in the stale air.

Slowly, her terrified eyes hardened into a cold, steely glare. She curled her thin, bony arms tightly around her knees, the motion causing a faint rattling noise. Heavy iron chains clanked as they bound her ankles and neck, cruel and unyielding. Her tattered clothes barely covered her emaciated frame, which was marred by dried blood and countless scars. She was nothing but skin stretched over bones; if not for the faint, shallow rise and fall of her chest, she could easily be mistaken for a lifeless corpse.

She had lost track of how many years had slipped by in this hellish, lightless basement. Day after day, her only companions were the bites of mosquitoes and rats, alongside endless suffering. Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed from the entrance. The basement door creaked open, allowing a sharp beam of light to slice through the gloom. Lillian instinctively squinted, a bitter, mocking smile curling on her cracked lips. *Here we go again.

Will it be the whip or poison this time?* Several men dressed in black stormed in, roughly yanking her from the corner and tossing her to the cold, hard floor like discarded trash. The sharp click of high heels echoed from the hallway, growing louder until a pair of diamond-studded heels stopped just inches from Lillian's bloodied hands. Without hesitation, she lifted a trembling foot and slammed it down hard. "Ugh!" A muffled grunt escaped. Vivian Prescott arched a delicate eyebrow, a sly, seductive smile playing on her lips as she gazed down at the broken figure sprawled before her.

Her voice dripped with cruel amusement. "Lillian, how does it feel to live a life worse than a dog's?" Slowly, the figure on the ground lifted its head, revealing a face so disfigured it sent chills down the spine. The skin was barely recognizable-marred by red, angry scars that writhed like maggots beneath the surface, grotesque and horrifying. Her cheeks were pocked and wrinkled, resembling some monstrous creature rather than a human being. Lillian fixed her gaze on the beautiful woman before her and let out a harsh, rasping laugh that sounded like shattered glass scraping against stone.

Her voice was painfully high-pitched, raw with hatred. Gritting her teeth, she spat out each word with venom. "Fine! I'll treasure your kindness for the rest of my miserable life. I'll never forget it." Her blazing red eyes locked onto Vivian's, burning with a hatred so fierce it seemed to scorch the very soul. Vivian remained unfazed, her lips curling into an almost sweet smile. "Welcome to reality. I'm just doing my duty, after all-I am your stepmother. By the way, your father has made it clear: if you hand over the jade key your mother left you, he'll set you free.

You'll return as the esteemed Miss Sinclair. So, take my advice-don't be stubborn. With the Sinclair Group thriving, wouldn't that be to your advantage?" Lillian's laugh turned cold and mocking, her eyes icy and unyielding. "Do you really think you deserve what belonged to my mother?" *It's this same woman who hides behind a mask of kindness and grace, yet she's the one who murdered my mother!* she thought bitterly. *She destroyed me-turned me from the proud daughter of the Sinclair family into this pitiful, broken shadow of a person.

Neither truly alive nor truly dead.* "Let's see how long the Sinclair Group can shine without my mother's medicine," she sneered bitterly. "Hahaha..." Her harsh, broken laughter echoed through the damp, stale basement, making her scarred face appear even more grotesque. Yet amidst the madness, a single tear slid silently down her cheek, carrying with it a depth of pain too profound for words. "Lillian, don't be ungrateful," Vivian snapped, her expression hardening, eyes flashing with venom. "You should understand that if the Sinclair Group falls, it won't be good for you either!

Hand over the jade key, and I'll let you go free. Refuse, and you'll never leave this place!" Vivian's patience was wearing thin. She needed that jade key-before anyone else could find it-and only then could she seize full control of the Sinclair empire. The jade key's existence had come to Vivian by accident. While rummaging through Catherine Dawson's personal belongings, she discovered a notebook filled with Catherine's own handwriting. In it was written: *The jade key can unlock the King of Apothecary's secret formula.

With it, one can dominate the world of medicine.* Though Vivian hadn't fully grasped the meaning behind those words, she understood one thing perfectly: Catherine's unmatched medical genius was somehow tied to the jade key. Yet despite searching every corner of Catherine's belongings and retracing her steps before her death, the jade key remained nowhere to be found. She was convinced Catherine must have entrusted it to her daughter, Lillian. But no matter how much she tortured her, no matter what methods she employed, the key remained elusive.

The mere thought of it gnawed at Vivian, filling her with frustration and rage. "Mom, how did it go? Did she say anything?" a voice whispered anxiously from the shadows.
