Chapter 986 Her Stained Innocence

Author: Bright Eyes
Strychnine…

Melanie frowned.

Many plants in the tropics contained strychnine that was colorless and odorless. Although it was soluble in water, it tasted extremely bitter…

She suspiciously opened the folder Jefford showed her. She quickly skimmed through it while Jeffrey explained it to her. "Leo is smart. He knows strychnine tastes bitter and is pungent. Even if he refined a little bit of it, it would be enough for Joseph and his loyal subordinates to find out. That's why Leo used the extract of strychnine petals."

"Strychnine petals are not bitter. On the contrary, they have a curry scent. Although the toxicity is weak, the right dosage can still weaken an eighty-year-old's organs and cause them to fail rapidly," Melanie finished his sentence.

"That's right!" Jeffrey nodded.

"Leo is very cautious. He knows that if Joseph dies violently, his loyal subordinates will surely investigate thoroughly, and the process of his poisoning won't be necessarily successful even if he's discre

    After taking a nap, Melanie felt slightly refreshed. She also roughly figured out her plan at the York family.She took a shower, got changed, and prepared to meet Yelena as if nothing had happened.On her way out the door, Jeffrey heard a noise and immediately opened the door to stop her. "Where are you going?""To see Yelena," she replied.Jeffrey frowned and tried to stop her. He forced her into his room. "Are you ready to carry out the plan?"Ever since they arrived, Leo had been holding back. He wanted to test the waters to determine if Melanie had reunited with his family.If she went to see Yelena, Leo would be sure to show up.That much Jeffrey was certain."Yeah."Melanie nodded.Jeffrey felt helpless. "When did you plan this? Why didn't you discuss it with me?""I've already run it through my mind several times. There aren't any loopholes," Melanie said confidently.The more confident she seemed, the more hurt Jeffrey felt.She did not treat him as… someone close

    Just as they predicted, Melanie had chatted with Yelena for less than ten minutes before Leo knocked on the door."Melanie, I heard you returned. I knew you'd come to see my aunt first." Leo pretended to be friendly.Melanie blinked. "So? Why did you want to see me?""It's nothing. We haven't seen each other for a while. I just wanted to see you. I heard you were in a car accident. Have your wounds healed completely?" Leo was not used to Melanie's offensive stance."Nearly. My legs are still a little stiff," Melanie replied."That's great…""Why does it sound like there's something you want to tell me? It's okay. You can say it. We're family." Melanie intentionally dropped the hint.Leo was at a loss…"How did the accident happen? Was it intentional?" He changed the topic in a panic."I hope it was an accident. I think it's unlikely to fail if I was the target." Melanie laughed in a self-deprecating way. She then changed the topic and continued her discussion with Yelena on pe

    Jeffrey paused for a moment before closing the door.He looked seriously at her. "You're alone here. I'm worried.""But the latter parts of my plan require fooling Leo by pretending I'm in a real alliance with Linda. If you're by my side all the time, how will I explain it? Don't worry. I'll raise the request with Joseph soon. You can pick the person you trust the most to stay here and keep you informed," Melanie insisted.It seemed she had already made up her mind.Jeffrey knew he could not change her mind and merely nodded.Melanie opened the door. "Don't wait any longer. You should leave now.""..."Jeffrey shook his head helplessly and returned to his room.It was then that a maid came upstairs to inform Melanie about Joseph waking up. He heard about Melanie's return and wanted to see her.Melanie spoke to Jeffrey before she left. "Pick the person you want to stay behind. When I'm back from seeing Joseph, you'd better be gone."All she said was telling him to leave…It w

    “He probably had some spies here. That's how they found out. However, the information wasn't conclusive. We only derived that conclusion after I spoke with you. If there wasn't anything amiss with Leo, you wouldn't have sent someone to deliver the message to me," Melanie explained."Hmm…" Joseph narrowed his eyes.Joseph wanted the York family's support. It was hardly surprising that he sent spies to work in the York family.In fact, Joseph had a feeling that Linda and Nathan had done the same.The York family was a huge enterprise. Even if the management was strict, nothing could stop them from infiltrating it."Are you surprised? My grandson wants me dead." Joseph sighed.Melanie cooperated by expressing sadness. However, she thought of something else in her mind. 'Your grandson probably inherited your excellent genes…'However, Joseph did not seem sad after discovering Leo had poisoned him. He was thinking about how to get rid of this ungrateful kid…The York family really d

    Melanie headed upstairs to check if Jefford had left. However, she was about to make a turn at the stairwell when a maid ran up to her. "Miss Melanie, Mr. Davidson is here.""..."Melanie stopped walking and frowned.She was about to consider excusing herself from seeing Wade when the young man suddenly barged into the living room. He looked up and saw her on the stairwell on the second floor. He took off his hat and smiled widely at her…It was too late to lie. Melanie stood still and waited for him to catch up to her."Why did you come here directly?" She asked with a blank expression.Wade handed her a large gift box. "You left without saying goodbye. I didn't have a chance to see you off. Now that you've returned, can't I come and see you?""What is this?" Melanie did not accept the box from him."These are supplements I asked someone to buy. These are good for a pregnant woman," Wade said sincerely.Melanie's eyes glistened, and she pushed it away. "I don't need it.""Wh

    For the next couple of days, Melanie secluded herself in the fragrance blending room.She was doing the final testing for 'Hypnotic', her newest perfume.Naturally, she did not forget about a more important task.During meals and when she went on breaks, Melanie would sneakily get up and pick up a call from time to time. After a few times, Leo's facial expression clearly changed when he saw her reading a message or picking up a call.One evening during the weekend, Melanie was returning to her room from the fragrance blending room. She was about to take a shower and rest when she received a message Jeffrey had personally left behind."Miss Jones, Leo sent someone to secretly plant something in your room. I checked twice. The York family also checked once. In the end, one listening device was retained under the sink. It was a very advanced listening device. We only found it after three checks. We decided to leave it behind. It should probably not arouse Leo's suspicion."“Well don

    Three days before the York family's celebration, Joseph finally asked Harlow to come back.Melanie took the opportunity to appear in front of Harlow. Naturally, he could not stand it. "You're an outsider. Why are you always staying in my house? Is that even appropriate?""Joseph thinks it's fine. Besides, the most important part of the celebration is to introduce my new fragrance. I'm probably much more useful here than you are."Melanie intentionally provoked Harlow. "Harlow, I admire your courage. Even now, you still want to fight me.""What are you trying to say?" Harlow walked closer and clenched his jaws."Haha."Melanie sneered intentionally. "You and Leo are both young masters in the York family. Leo gets to stay by Joseph's side and be involved in the preparations, while you're sent abroad for nearly half a year. You've only returned when it's almost time for the celebration. This apple seems to have fallen very far from the tree.""Melanie, don't celebrate too soon! Are

    "Sir, Melanie and Linda really have something going on secretly. We've got evidence now. Are you sure you won't discuss this with Nathan?" Leo's subordinate cautioned.Leo’s expression became even more grim upon earring Nathan's name.He was upset Linda had lied to him, but he hated Nathan even more for lying to him."Nathan initiated the alliance with Linda. They formed an alliance first. Do you think he wouldn't know what Linda was up to?" Leo uttered.Since they all betrayed him, he did not care if he used to have a thing for Nathan.He could turn the tides on his own!-Melanie intentionally waited for Linda to go to the restroom before following her inside.Before she did so, Jefford sent her three messages and also called her once. He cautioned her so that she would not be hurt by Linda."This is the York family's turf. Linda wouldn't dare hurt me. Besides, for the sake of my plan, I'm sure we'll be friendly on our way out of the restroom." Melanie hung up after saying t

    Pleasantly surprised, Melanie turned around to see the man she had been looking for. She never stopped saying his name in her head. He stood right behind her.At that moment, she stopped thinking completely.Without even hesitating, she ran toward him and dove into his arms."Ughh."Jeffrey groaned in pain. He did not dare to press against her stomach. Instead, he arched his back to hold her."Where the hell have you been? Do you have any idea how I…" She cried so much that she could not speak."Alright, alright. Good girl. Don't cry. I've come back."Jeffrey kept rubbing the back of her head. "Eagle was too neurotic. I've nearly gone mad from dealing with him. I finally got him to regain some of his sanity today… That's how I had the chance to find you…""How did you know where to find me?" Melanie asked."Today is the day of Nathan's trial. I know you'd definitely be in the courtroom," Jeffrey said confidently.Melanie finally calmed down a little. After letting go of him,

    "We're not together…"Kenneth's facial expression changed as soon as he saw Melanie.Melanie noticed there was a hint of guilt in his eyes. This was an unsettling feeling for her. "Then where is he? What happened to you guys?"Noticing that she was shaking, Annie and Carson, who had accompanied her to court, rushed forward to assist her."Eagle had a prior arrangement with Nathan. Once Nathan and Leo's plan at the York family's residence was thwarted, Nathan would press a button. Eagle would then receive a code to detonate a bomb. He'd blow us all up," Kenneth explained."Jeffrey was the one who noticed Eagle wasn't in the right state of mind. That's why he informed me to leave with Mr. Oliver. He… Stayed behind to persuade Eagle…" He added."What happened then?" Melanie's voice was shaking."All I knew after that was that the hotel blew up. I waited for him to contact me but he never did. Mr. Oliver and I have been on the run from Nathan's shadowy pursuits. I only managed to sn

    Three days later, the trial was officially in session.Leo's attorney was practically defenseless because the York family's allegations of him poisoning Joseph had been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Leo was directly sentenced to life in prison.Nathan's attorney, on the other hand, was clever. They tried everything they could to deflect Nathan's allegations.After the presiding judge evaluated the case, he looked up. "Does the plaintiff have any more evidence that the defendant, Nathan, intentionally killed someone?"Hank sat silently at the plaintiff's table.They could only provide evidence of the time when Nathan had tried to murder Hank. However, they had no evidence of Nathan being involved in the explosion on the island this time.Hank looked at Melanie in the audience. She was also frowningThe presiding judge's implication was well understood. Without more evidence, Nathan would not receive a life sentence…"The plaintiff simply does not have sufficient evidence to

    Carson sighed. It was time to explain everything to Hank…Although Carson had spent a lot of time in Hank's hospital as Professor Marshall, and he would also tend to their men's wounds, as well as discuss a variety of topics with Hank, they had never acknowledged their relationship…Besides, Carson knew Hank hated him.Hank hated him for being heartless to his grandmother back then. That was why Hank changed his last name to Castillo instead of Yule…"Let's take Melanie back to rest. I'll explain the rest to you myself," Carson said. Hank had already figured out half of it."Grandpa, I'm not going back. I'll wait for the news here," Melanie said firmly.There was no sign of Jeffrey's corpse yet. She would wait until the rescue team confirmed that they could not find any corpse.She wanted a clear answer."Okay. I'll get the trailer ready for you. You can lie down inside. You can't afford to hurt your body anymore than you already have. I checked your pulse earlier. It's not loo

    Buzz!Melanie's vision turned black. She began falling backward."Melanie! Melanie!"Carson propped her up and called the doctor over.However, Melanie opened her eyes after a few seconds and tried to stand up. "I'm fine… Grandpa, take me there… I want to go to the scene of the explosion…""You're in no state…""I'm fine. I can hold up," Melanie promised."If you don't let me go and see it with my own eyes, I'll be even more paranoid," she added.Carson knew his granddaughter too well. He sighed and frowned before requesting for a ride. He met up with Hank. The two of them accompanied Melanie to look for Jeffrey.Jeffrey, Kenneth, Mr. Oliver, and Eagle waited at the drop-off point near the York family's residence. Nathan had instructed them to not do anything rash.Mr. Oliver and Eagle were still useful to Nathan.Once Nathan acquired Joseph's signature, he would meet up with them.However, the small hotel they were waiting at was already in ruins. There was smoke everywher

    'Chief… Frankie?'Leo turned around in surprise. Nathan did the same. They saw Chief Frankie and several Interpol agents walking out from behind a screen in Joseph's room.Melanie was a part of that group!"Aren't you… dead?" Leo pointed at Melanie in shock."Thanks to you, I'll live a long life." Melanie sneered.Chief Frankie waved his hand. The police behind him charged forward to put handcuffs on Leo and Nathan. Leo narrowed his eyes and quickly pressed a button on the remote in his hand."We'll all die together!" He shouted.However, no matter how hard he pressed, nothing happened in the room."What's going on here… Eagle?" Leo's voice was trembling.His hands were cuffed, and the remote control was confiscated by the police."Leo, you are suspected of poisoning Master York and attempting to murder Melanie and others on the island. We are arresting you for premeditated murder!" Chief Frankie uttered calmly."No… No…" Leo struggled but to no avail. He had no idea what wa

    At the same time, Melanie and Carson were on a plane with Professor Turner. They soon arrived at Medonia.Carson contacted Hank ahead of time and asked him to pick them up with his men.After the exhausting journey, Melanie's face was pale. She seemed to be in very poor condition. "I've already contacted the maternity hospital for you. You can go there and wait for your delivery. Leave the rest to me.""No…"Melanie shook her head. "I have to go back."Jeffrey was still in Nathan's hands. She would not be able to wait peacefully if she went to the hospital.Carson knew his granddaughter well enough. "Let her go. Professor Turner and I will be with here. We'll be ready for anything."Carson was still disguised as Maximilian. Hank did not know he was Carson. Hank nodded in agreement.“Mr. Castillo, there's something I need to trouble you with.” Melanie said."I heard from Professor Marshall that you're on good terms with the chief of Medonia's Interpol. Can I trouble him to be a

    "Wait a minute! Isn't Jefford actually Jeffrey?" Leo asked while running after Nathan.Nathan ignored him and continued to walk forward.Leo did not give up and followed Nathan closely. "Who exactly is Jeffrey to you?""Are you being unreasonable right now? Why are you still so unsure at this point?" Nathan glanced at Leo contemptuously."I'm dealing with serious business. Don't get in my way with your petty romantic affairs!"After saying that, he glared at Leo and exited the cabin.Leo felt chills in his heart, but he could not make Nathan stay…-Jeffrey was tied up on the deck all this time. His body was freezing, and his lips were turning purple from the cold."Hey, President Morgan, fancy seeing you like this!" Nathan laughed grimly when he saw the miserable state Jeffrey was in."Thanks to you, I've been more miserable than this on many occasions. This is nothing." Jeffrey made it sound like a walk in the park."Hehe." Nathan sneered."I know. You've had strong willp

    Lynette seemed stunned. She could not help but stand up with the help of the railing on the speedboat. Her eyes turned red as looked at the island burning in the distance. There was a look of disbelief on her face…If they had not evacuated five minutes ago…By now…She would not have even been able to breathe and think…The explosion sent shockwaves across the ocean's surface. The ride became even more bumpy. With sea water splashing against them, they had all become wet."Are you alright?" Carson protected Melanie. He was worried she would not be able to take it.Her stomach did feel awful, but she braced herself and tried not to tense up. Her emotions would affect her baby.When Lynette heard the voices behind her, she turned around to look at Melanie. Her gaze had become much softer than before. "You're not going to give birth on the boat, are you? I'm a woman, but I don't know how to be a midwife!""I won't give birth now. There are still things left to do," Melanie said.
