Chapter 617 Chapter 618 Jessica's voice trembled with anger. "Watch it!" Wendy eyed Jessica suspiciously, her gaze sharp. "Also, I haven't even made the antidote yet, so how did you wake up on your own?" Jessica's eyes flickered, betraying a moment of guilt. Wendy turned her gaze toward Horace. "If I had poisoned you, I would've made sure you stayed unconscious, but you woke up on your own. Mr. Larson, something's definitely off about this poisoning.
You should really look into it more carefully." Horace studied Jessica intently, his eyes deep and unreadable. Jessica's heart skipped a beat under his stare. She couldn't shake the feeling that Horace had seen right through her. Quickly, she feigned dizziness. "Dad, I feel dizzy." "You should rest," Horace said softly. He tucked the blankets around her, then turned to lead everyone out of the room. Once they were in the corridor, Horace stopped and faced Wendy.
"What do you think about the situation with Jessica's poisoning?" Wendy glanced at him, her tone measured. "I suspect she poisoned herself." Horace's lips tightened into a thin line. "I believe she tried to poison herself in an attempt to frame me," Wendy continued, "but things didn't go as planned, and now she's awake before she should have been." Horace remained silent, his face as still as stone. Wendy's clear, piercing eyes met his. "Honestly, she doesn't resemble you at all, Mr. Larson.

She's too dumb, and I don't see any of your intelligence in her. And as for Mrs. Larson-what kind of person is she? Is she lacking in intelligence? Does Jessica take after her?" Mentioning Brittany Brewer caused a subtle but noticeable shift in Horace's demeanor. His handsome features tightened, a coldness creeping into his gaze. "No, she's not dumb. Quite the opposite-she's very clever." Wendy raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued.
Jessica hadn't inherited her smarts from her parents, after all. "I trust you on this. I'll question Jessica properly," Horace finally said, his voice resolute. Wendy nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Larson." With that, she turned and left. Back in the room, Jessica was sitting on the bed, a cold expression on her face. Lilian sat beside her, holding her hand gently. "Are you okay?" Jessica scoffed, shaking off Lilian's hand. "Don't touch me!" Lilian stiffened, her heart sinking.
"What's going on?" Jessica glared at her. "Look at what you've done! We agreed I'd poison myself, and you'd use that to frame Wendy. We were supposed to have my dad get rid of her, but you failed and even made me wake up early! All our efforts are ruined!" It had all been part of Jessica and Lilian's plan. Jessica had poisoned herself to frame Wendy. 1/2 Chapter 618 They couldn't just let Wendy, pregnant with Stanley's child, leave the country.
She was a major threat, and the child in her belly was an even bigger ticking time bomb. They had risked everything to set her up. Listen to me. I've done everything I can, but Mr. Larson doesn't believe me. He only trusts Wendy. Both he and Mr. Hawk are taking her side!" Lilian's voice was full of frustration. Jessica's face darkened. It was one thing that her fiancé sided with Wendy, but even her father, who was supposed to be on her side, was supporting that wench. How could this be?
What kind of hold did Wendy have over them? "Why did you give me the antidote and make me wake up carly?" Jessica demanded. Lilian's expression darkened. "Because something has happened with Harry!"
