Chapter 887

We Did Not Fall For It

Matthew looked at Sasha. “Mr. Lach, do you really think she fell for that curse?”

Wilson was surprised, then he looked at Sanchez.

Sanchez sneered, “You’re a stubborn one, aren’t you?” He took a bell out and shook it hard. An ear-
piercing ring came from it, and Wilson stared at Sasha when that happened.

That bell’s sound would awaken the cursed insects in the victim’s body. Once that happened, the
insects would rampage and torture its victims. However, Sasha showed no agony and looked like she
was truly asleep.

“What’s going on?” Wilson gasped.

Sanchez was surprised as well. He shook his bell again, but to no avail.

Matthew stood up. “Alright, that’s enough. We didn’t fall for the curse.”

Wilson stared at him in disbelief. “I-Impossible. D-Did that b*tch lie to us?”

Matthew shook his head. “No. I switched her salad out.”



Wilson couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “You switched it out? Why? Y-You knew the salad was
cursed?”

Matthew smiled. “Wilson, you know I’m a skilled doctor, so it won’t be easy cursing me. The only way to
do that is through a curse not even I can detect. Among all the curses the voodoo clan has, the only one
that’s undetectable is the Seven Tails. That curse’s condition is hard to fulfill, since it only works at room



temperature. And the salad was the only dish at room temperature. Besides, Minerva has never cooked
before, but she suddenly made us a plate of salad. You bet I know she’s up to something. The moment
she told me to have a bite, I went to the kitchen and switched it to another salad. The cursed salad is
already in the bin.”

Wilson looked upset, and he glared at Matthew. “You’re one tough cookie, Matthew. Seems like I
underestimated you.”

Leroy looked frustrated as well. “How did you know we were out to get you, Matthew?”

“Good question. Leroy, do you really think I don’t know what you guys are trying to do? When I left last
night, I manipulated you into kidnapping Minerva, and you did. However, she came back safe and sound
the next day. Do you really think I wouldn’t know something’s off?”

Leroy continued, “B-But how did you know we were going to curse you?”

Matthew chuckled. “Easy. Since you guys managed to poison the lake, I knew you guys had someone
from the voodoo clan on your side. Since Billy’s on my side, you can’t snatch my stuff away from me, so
the best way is to control and threaten me using a curse. That’s the only reason you guys released
Minerva. Why else?”

Leroy froze up, staring at Matthew in disbelief. “So you’ve been suspecting us ever since we tried to take
the project back? But that’s impossible. The insects didn’t belong to anyone. You couldn’t have known
about it,” he said in a shaky voice.

“I didn’t, but I knew something was off when I kept bumping into the voodoo clan in Eastcliff.” Then he
looked at Sanchez. “I heard all seventy-two clan leaders are searching for someone here. You’re here for
the same reason, aren’t you?”

Sanchez looked at him coldly. “You know a lot, don’t you? A bit too much for your own good, actually.”
