Yora, however, sneered. "You don't worry about that. While you're head of the family, you're no more than a figurehead-every family matter will instead fall under my control." "What?!" Jon almost tripped-so he was only supposed to be a puppet? What did Yora want? To take over the family? "That's a big deal, Madam Yimmel. It's not too late-we can go back and discuss this with Grandfather..."" Resistant to the idea, Jon decided to name-drop Mark, but Yora did not even flinch.

Shaking her head in disdain, she scoffed. "You said it, didn't you? The old man's dying and can't decide on anything. As the most senior member of the family, I'm the only one who can make the call." "No, no, no..." Jon protested. "Grandfather is just sick. It's not so serious that he must leave a will already... and Dad's already sent for the best doctors. He'll regain consciousness soon enough." Seeing that Jon was still not playing along, Yora turned toward Fleur, who flinched but said coolly, "Your grandfather's not going to wake up anytsoon, Jon." Her confidence left Jon at once suspicious. "What? Why?" Fleur sighed but explained, "Because your grandfather's been poisoned with the Lifecutter. It's a poison unique to Hundred Bane Sect-it would look like the patient has suffered a heart attack, but in reality it paralyzes a person's limbs and sensespletely. Your grandfather ispletely bedridden from now on." "W-What?! Madam Lang, did you... But why? Why would you do that?!" Jon was left trembling even as he stared at Fleur in disbelief-despite being as dense as he was, he could understand what was happening.

Even as he glanced between the two elderly women standing before him, he felt a chill running down his neck all the way to his feet.

These women were his grandfather's wives, and his grandfather had always treated them fairly.

So why would they do that?! Most importantly, an attempt on one husband's life meant death in Lane family rules! What did they have against Mark that they would poison him?! "Fine, then I will be frank." Folding her arms before her chest, Yora sneered as she began. "Your grandfather is old, Jon... and et people always lose their sight.

et -taking back the Northstream Lanes which, I must add, was done without my permission-he appointed Helen Lane as head of the family behind my back! en.kikistories "On top of that, he is well aware of the feud between myself and Henry Lane! Helen's dear grandfather the one who mockedright in front of the whole family, and I can't et it even after all these years! en.kikistories UMS "I wouldn't mind it that much if Helen proved tactful, but she has only ever treatedwith insolence, and that is absolutely unacceptable! Hell, I tried to reason with your grandfather after everything he did, but he. remained stubborn as if possessed and stuck to his guns. Even your father only gavea half-hearted response when I approached him! en.kikistories "So, since none of you are going to do a thing, I will do it myself and bring the Lane family back on the right track soon enough!" The vindictive tone in which Yora spoke made her appear as if she was the heroine rescuing her family from disaster.

However, even Jon could tell that in reality, it was all because Yora hated Henry Lane and his heirs to the bone.
