Henry was convinced and narrowed his eyes. "Go on. How do you plan to use poison?"
Scarlett flipped her mink coat, revealing her ample chest, and smiled. "I've slept with that little brat Joseph from the Yeagers twice already. This kid's really pathetic in the Yeagers. He's over 20 but clearly hasn't had much experience with women. He submitted to my charms in no time!"
She added, "Now, when I say east, he goes east. When I say west, he doesn't dare head any other way."
Henry frowned. "Your looks are… average. You really think Joseph fell for that?"
Scarlett's smile froze as her tone turned sharp. "Sure, my face isn't much, but I have a great body! My martial arts skills are impressive enough to command respect, and Joseph is just a naive kid. Sleeping with me gives his ego a huge boost!
"What good are pretty faces? What really satisfies men are women who wield power and strength, and I happen to be exactly that type. I have both power and influence!"
Henry nodded in agreement. He could not argue with the logic. "One last question. Can you guarantee Joseph will obey you?"
Scarlett snorted coldly, "Of course! That horny little bastard acts like he's been caged for centuries. Every chance he gets, he's crawling back for more. But I deliberately keep him hanging, letting him see and touch, but never fully satisfying him!
