Margot shrugged and said casually, "That's right. Why would I frame you? We aren't friends or enemies. We aren't in conflict or at odds. You have nothing I want, so what can I get from setting you up?""Are you sure I have nothing you want? Don't forget that I'm close with a senior in the Medicine Association. You've always wanted to be introduced to him so that you can get into the association."Margot couldn't help but laugh at her words. "What kind of a joke is that? My grandmother is the vice-president of the Medicine Association, so why do I need to go through your senior to get in? Shouldn't I go to my grandma? Besides, my brother is a member there as well, so why would I seek help from an outsider?""That's a lie," Blake shouted. "I know that you and your father have been researching illegal medicine, so your brother and your grandmother will never let someone like you into the association. But the person you like is a member of the association, so you've always wanted to get
Faye's words were reasonable, so no one dared to refute them. Sandra agreed that she needed to get to the bottom of this matter since it took place in the Reed family's household. If the person involved was taken away, the Reed family would be left in a passive position. The Keane family clearly wanted to take Blake away with them as well, but considering the current state Felton was in, Roy had his hands full and had no energy to spare on Blake. All he wanted was to care for Felton so that he would recover before he could turn his attention to other matters. Edward pursed his lips, and despite the dark expression on his face, he faked a smile. "Ms. Brown, do you think that we would harm our own kin?"Faye smiled. "Of course not, Mr. Chase. When I said her life may be threatened, I am just worried that you might fail to protect her from the enemy."She chuckled. "The Reed family is an ancient lineage of doctors who know most about Lovers' Poison. Since Ms. Chase used a forbid
Margot instantly burst into laughter at Faye's words. "Haha! How interesting you are, Ms. Brown." Margot raised her chin and looked mockingly at Faye. Faye stood her ground and nodded without a word. Margot smirked. "Are you saying that you don't even need to touch her to know if she is pregnant?" Faye nodded. "That's right."Margot laughed for a long while, before stopping to stare contemptuously at Faye. "Who do you think you are? Who doesn't need to at least check on a patient to make a diagnosis? You can tell that she's pregnant without examining her? Hahahaha! If word gets out, people might think you are a miracle doctor, but anyone with common sense will know that you are scamming them."Sensing the strange atmosphere around her, she turned to Sandra. "Grandma, do you believe her?"There might be people out there who would believe Faye's words, especially since Blake was visibly experiencing the symptoms she listed. However, the Reed family came from a lineage
Faye stopped and watched as the smugness on Margot's face faded. It was replaced with panic and shock. Her smile widened at the sight and she slowly approached Margot, lowering her voice."Ms. Reed, you've been rushing things lately. That won't do. Considering your body's condition, you should know what would happen if you don't control yourself."With that, she turned and ignored the terrified look on Margot's face. "Mrs. Shaw, what do you mean?" Stunned by Faye's words, Sandra couldn't quite grasp the situation. Faye smiled. "Perhaps you should ask your granddaughter that, Mrs. Reed.""Nonsense!" Margot shouted hysterically. "What do you mean by toxins accumulating? I'm perfectly healthy and fine. That can't possibly happen."When Sandra began staring at her coldly, Margot panicked and said, "Grandma, don't listen to her. The Reed family is full of doctors, and you should know my body better than anyone. This woman is just trying to fool everyone."All Sandra knew wa
Wife?Damien was shocked by how Cedric addressed Faye. He froze. He was stunned to learn that this woman, who hardly looked old enough to be a college graduate, was Cedric's legendary wife.He thought it was rather interesting."You are as humorous as always, Mr. Cedric. I was merely chasing down a thief and happened upon this lady. I mistook her for the thief who was also dressed in black."Damien had extremely beautiful and feminine features. When he smiled, his eyes were so alluring that they could draw souls away.Faye turned and refused to look at him. Cedric scoffed. "Oh? A thief? Why would a thief be here in the Reed family's household?""You might not believe me, Mr. Cedric, but I did see someone trying to sneak into the Reed family's garden for herbs. I pursued that person. The thief came this way because their path was blocked by the electric fences."He then turned to look at Cedric's black shirt and smirked devilishly. "Have you seen the thief, Mr. Cedric?"
By the time Faye and Cedric stepped out of Taylor's study, the party had already ended. Most guests were unaware of Blake's actions. Still, the fact that Sandra was called away in the middle of the banquet still raised suspicions. Some guests happened to walk past the private room and seemed to have seen something. Rumors started to spread. Some said that Margot did something horrible, while some others speculated that Margot was involved with Felton. It was claimed that two were discovered by Blake. Some even said that Lovers' Poison had once again emerged in the market. Faye only caught wind of these from Avery the next day. Gossip had always been something to be feared. The matter wasn't something to be discussed publicly. With others bending the truth, the Reed family would find themselves in a difficult situation regardless if they chose to clarify. "Babe, what happened yesterday with the Reed family? I know you were there, so tell me," Avery asked on the phone. Fa
Jason wasn't looking this way. Yet, Avery was already panicking. At this moment, Cecilia ran over and leaned on her. She then waved at Jason. Avery was terrified. Her eyes widened, and she froze in place. When Jason turned to look over, she could feel her blood running cold. She kept thinking to herself for him to not approach them.However, what she feared most was bound to happen. Not only was Jason heading in their direction, he seemed to be heading straight for Cecilia. Instantly, Avery wished she could hide herself. "Handsome Uncle, it really is you …" Cecilia's eyes lit up. She excitedly climbed over the fences. Her face, the spitting image of Jason's, was filled with joy. Jason's heart melted at the sight. The somber expression on his face eased into gentleness. He crouched before Cecilia and picked her up, a smile playing on his lips. "It's been a while, little one.""It's been some time, Handsome Uncle. Haha …" She giggled and took out a piece of candy fr
"Babe! Why didn't you tell me that Cece ran into Jason before? Oh my god, you are going to get me killed!"When Faye received a phone call from Avery, she was on the way to Reed Manor. The events that transpired with the Reed family were hardly her business. Still, Sandra wanted to ask Faye about Lovers' Poison and summoned her. "Hm? What's wrong? Did you run into him?" Faye drove with one hand and held her phone with another, a smile playing on her lips. "So you did know about it!" Avery shouted. "You horrible woman! Why didn't you tell me? I'm going out of my mind now! If I didn't confront Cecilia, I wouldn't even know that you've been hiding so much from me.""Is that important? Jason wouldn't discover that he is Cecilia's father. If he runs into you, you won't admit it either, so why are you panicking?" Faye asked."Had I known about it, I would have known how to handle it. The problem here is that I didn't know anything. We just ran into him at the mall today and when
