The Wife Is A Superstar 6

Chapter 1037 - A Test Of Acting Skills

"Long story short, our mother made me and my sister go through poison resistance training as soon as our young bodies became able to barely handle it," Jiyong explained. "The most integral part of the training wasn't the forceful modification of our bodies to build up poison resistance but it was actually the concoction of antidotes."

Both his tone and expression showed no emotions whatsoever as if what he and his sister endured back then in the name of training was nothing more than a trivial matter.

It was Lisa who felt upset instead, not only for his wife but also for his brother-in-law. After reading the Vetrov report so many times that he almost memorized the entire thing, he had begun to realize that Nikolai Vetrov didn't become evil because he was born that way. His cruelty and seeming lack of conscience were a product of his upbringing.

Lisa tried to imagine himself in his brother-in-law's shoes as the heir apparent to the number one international criminal organization in the world. Perhaps if he were born in the same kind of brutal and literal survival of the fittest environment, he would have also become no different than what Nikolai Vetrov became—a cruel man who had no qualms killing others in cold blood.

Only a special kind of pure person like his wife would be able to withstand such a harsh and deadly upbringing. No wonder even a man known for being evil and heartless like Nikolai Vetrov was so loving and gentle towards his little sister. Maria Vetrova was indeed the type of rare person whose inner purity couldn't be tainted no matter how others tried to change her by force. She would only change if she decided to do so.

While Lisa's heart ached for what the brother and sister went through in their past lives, Jiyong took a small hard leather case from his coat's inner pocket. He opened it and took out what looked like two-inch mini pen. Then he grabbed Lisa's hand and used the mini pen to prick a finger.

Lisa frowned but didn't say anything, allowing his brother-in-law to finish whatever he was doing to him. He watched as Jiyong pressed the small bead of blood on his finger to a thin strip of translucent paper.

The paper changed colours in an instant. First, it turned into a reddish black colour with some specks of dark brown. Then it quickly changed into an unpleasant shade of muddy violet.

"Heh~ An aphrodisiac and a sedative, huh. Well, at least there's no lethal poison so it looks like that nympho doesn't want you dead. Good. I don't want my sister to become a widow this early." Jiyong handed Lisa an adhesive bandage while he returned the used tools to the small container, not daring to discard them in the men's room.

Lisa snorted before washing his hands, drying them, and then bandaging his finger. His brother-in-law didn't sanitize either of their hands before drawing blood from him. He didn't complain though because this wasn't the time to act fussy.

"I intend to live a long life and spend a happy, blissful marriage with my wife until we grow old. I'm not going to let her become a widow while she's still so young."

Jiyong grunted. "Based on the test results, the nympho gave you quite a high dosage of aphrodisiac so the shot I gave you won't completely neutralize it. You'll still feel it so you need to do your best to keep your head clear in order for our counterplan to work. As for the sedative, don't worry about it. She gave you a very common one so the shot is extremely effective against it."

"En. Thanks. I can handle this much."

Lisa was relieved and irritated at the same time—relieved that the sedative wasn't a problem anymore and irritated because he still felt hot all over.

If it wasn't for his goal to not only thwart Diana's sinister plot against him tonight but also to gather incriminating evidence to push her to the point of no return, he would have already ran to find his wife and make love with her as soon as possible in order to alleviate his drug-induced need for pleasure.
