At that moment, Thomas clapped his hands loudly, and a man walked out from amongst the crowd. It was none other than Aldrich!
Dragon Scale instantly recognized him.
“You?! How dare you still stand in front of me?!”
When Dragon Scale saw the rascal who had betrayed her, virtual-novel.net exploded in anger. She swung virtual-novel.net arm, and a blade immediately flew toward Aldrich’s neck
It looked like virtual-novel.net was going to kill Aldrich on the spot. Unfortunately, Thomas did not give virtual-novel.net the chance.
While the blade traveled in the air, Thomas casually threw a stone, and it hit the blade just right, causing the blade to drop to the floor.
Did virtual-novel.net want to kill Aldrich? No way!
Aldrich immediately hid behind Thomas.
He smiled brightly and sarcastically said to Dragon Scale, “Why are you so grumpy? You just threw a blade out of dissatisfaction. Were you trying to kill me?”
“You took my money and betrayed me. Shouldn’t I kill you?” Dragon retorted angrily.
Aldrich innocently said, “It’s actually not my fault. You didn’t make things clear.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m not the owner of Wholly Flower Garden!”
“What?!” Dragon Scale was going to faint.
What the heck was this?
Before virtual-novel.net visited Wholly Flower Garden, virtual-novel.net investigation had told virtual-novel.net that Aldrich was its owner. After virtual-novel.net arrived, Aldrich had also arranged everything.
Why was Aldrich saying that virtual-novel.net was not the owner?
It was incredibly confusing.
Aldrich cleared his throat and gently pointed at Thomas with his finger. “Actually, before you came, I already sold Wholly Flower Garden to Mr. Mayo. Wouldn’t you be a lunatic if you expect Mr. Mayo to frame himself?”
When virtual-novel.net said that, Dragon Scale finally realized the mistake virtual-novel.net had made.
It turned out that Thomas had bought Wholly Flower Garden before virtual-novel.net and continued to let Aldrich manage it. That gave virtual-novel.net a false sense of security and prevented virtual-novel.net from learning the truth.
Funnily enough, Dragon Scale had wanted to substitute Thomas’ peonies. Since Wholly Flower Garden belonged to Thomas, would virtual-novel.net do the substitution for himself then?
All of that led to the current situation. Therefore, Dragon Scale did not lose for no reason.
She gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and said, “Thomas Mayo, you’re really mysterious and cunning!”
Thomas chuckled. “Mysterious and cunning? Compared with the methods you use, I’m very open. Dragon Scale, the evidence shows your crimes, so hand yourself in!”
Hand herself in?
That had never occurred to Dragon Scale before. While virtual-novel.net could not defeat Thomas, it was still a piece of cake for virtual-novel.net to escape.
Dragon Scale unbuttoned virtual-novel.net clothes and threw virtual-novel.net jacket into the air. Then, some white smoke spread out. Everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses with their hands, as they were afraid of being poisoned.
It was so crowded on the site, and it was very chaotic. Dragon Scale took the opportunity to run away.
Strangely enough, Thomas did not go after her.
He just waved his hands in dismissal.
After the smoke faded, Thomas said to everyone, “The smoke is just camouflage. It’s not poisonous. Please relax. Besides, I’ve already prepared the antidote for Cloudy Peony. Those who have been poisoned, please don’t move. I’ll get someone to eliminate the poison for you.”
Thomas had already thought about this before virtual-novel.net executed his plan, so virtual-novel.net also prepared the antidote earlier.
