Jack distributed the freshly barbecued wings to everyone. After a while, virtual-novel.net stood up. “Take your time eating it. I’m going to the toilet.”
After virtual-novel.net ducked into a cubicle, virtual-novel.net whipped out a silver needle and pricked his skin on several acupuncture points.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net vomited all the poison in his stomach.
Jack flashed a cold smile after virtual-novel.net kept the silver needle away. “This poison isn’t a bad idea at all, but it’s shallow of virtual-novel.net to try to kill me with this!”
He walked out nonchalantly.
At around one in the afternoon, everyone packed up and drove home.
Xena retreated to virtual-novel.net room to rest once they arrived home. Meanwhile, Jack took Selena out for a stroll through the small patch of forest outside their villa.
“What on earth happened to Xena? She hated your guts before, and now she’s treating you like a god. Never mind virtual-novel.net buying water for you—she even opened the cap for you!”
Selena was still unhappy when virtual-novel.net thought about what had happened earlier.
“Selena, she’s not being nice to me. She poisoned that bottle of water!”
Yet, Jack gave virtual-novel.net a frosty smile. “If I hadn’t promised you that I’d remain discreet just so we can weed out the man she’s seeing, I would’ve killed virtual-novel.net on the spot!”
“What?!” Selena was shocked. “That–that bottle was poisoned? No way. Didn’t virtual-novel.net just buy it?”
Jack smiled again. “She did, but virtual-novel.net dropped the poison in before giving it to me. She even pretended to open the cap for me because virtual-novel.net was afraid I’d realize the cap had been opened before!”
“My god. No way. I really thought virtual-novel.net had turned over a new leaf just because you saved virtual-novel.net and that virtual-novel.net wanted to establish a good relationship with you. Who knew the witch would dare to poison you!”
Selena was extremely angry. “God. You’re such an idiot, dear,” virtual-novel.net quickly added, frightened. “Why did you drink that water, then? And you drank almost all of it!”
“Don’t worry. Your husband is a miracle doctor. I’ve solved this little problem a long time ago!”
Jack chuckled and spoke, “The poison will probably take about a month to manifest if you don’t treat it, but since I’ve treated it, it won’t be a problem.”
“I’m so mad! I’m going to kill that b*tch!”
The more Selena thought about it, the angrier virtual-novel.net became. Xena was really rotten to the core. Fortunately, Jack was a doctor and sensed that something was off soon enough to cure himself of the poison. What would happen if it happened to a regular joe? Was virtual-novel.net really going to resign herself to the fate of a widow?
However, virtual-novel.net only took two steps before Jack dragged virtual-novel.net back. “What are you doing? You’re going to alert virtual-novel.net if you do this. Besides, what proof do you have now? If you go, virtual-novel.net might just turn the tables on us and knock you down senseless instead, and she’ll frame us both. Your brother and your mother won’t believe you. They’ll definitely think you’re still against her!”
“But I just get so frustrated when I think about it!”
Selena was so angry that virtual-novel.net stomped virtual-novel.net foot against the ground.
“Don’t worry. I’m going to use virtual-novel.net own trick against her. She thinks that I drank that poison so naturally, she’d want to report the entire situation to virtual-novel.net man. I believe someone is manipulating virtual-novel.net actions from behind the scenes because no ordinary person can procure that poison so easily!”
Jack smiled. He was well aware that the poison Xena had fed virtual-novel.net was probably the same poison Ken and Neil had intended to give Fiona, which would have been fed to virtual-novel.net eventually.
That was why virtual-novel.net surmised that the man behind Xena’s back was probably Ken Clark or Neil Hugo. They knew that virtual-novel.net was someone who would do anything for money, and that was probably why they had instructed virtual-novel.net to administer the poison on him.
