Chapter 1194
"No, that can't be it!" Hannah shook her head, frowning in disapproval. "If she wasn't poisoned, why
didn’t she fight back when I slapped her? With that temper of hers, she wouldn't be able to endure it!
She must have been pretending to be fine earlier! I swear she's poisoned!"
"But just now, did you see..." Ralph's gaze was drawn to the broken bedframe.
The truth was right in front of them. If Heather were poisoned, she would not have the strength to break
the bedframe. "I can guarantee you that she’s just pretending to be poisoned. In the deal I had with her,
I was supposed to be the one to steal the secret handbook, but she did it herself in the end. Think
about it. She's so cautious, so how could she not realize that you were going to poison her? I'm sure
that she was just pretending because she has some other ulterior motives!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What kind of ulterior motives could she have?" Hannah immediately responded with a question.
"Well..." Ralph did not know what to say.
If he had known, things would not have turned out the way they did. He could not tell what Heather was
thinking, which was the same for Alexander. He could not guess their next moves, so he suffered
crashing defeats.
He thought that he was the one playing chess and laying all his pieces out, but little did he know that he
was actually a chess piece in someone else's game.
"No, she must be lying about not being poisoned. Raff, I didn’t lose to her. I didn't lose..."
The two disagreed, and Ralph understood that he had no way to persuade Hannah now. Hence, he
could only let out a long sigh as he stared at the dark window.
In the end, they still lost terribly.
Hannah was right about Heather being poisoned, and it was pretty serious. After leaving the basement,
Heather stopped walking after taking a few steps, staying in her spot and holding on to the wall with
one hand.
When Chump had locked the door and followed behind her, he was puzzled to find her standing there.
"Ms. Riggs?"
He noticed her lowering her head and spitting blood as soon as he called her name. The blood was
darker than its usual color, indicating that she was poisoned.
"Ms. Riggs!"
"Shut up!" Heather reprimanded, her voice low and weak. "What are you panicking about?"
“You...*
When Chump saw her crushing the bedframe earlier, he thought that she was okay. He did not expect
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat it was just another trick of hers.
After all, Heather was brilliant, and no one could guess her thoughts. Perhaps she had her reasons for
doing so, but she did not look like she was in great condition judging from the situation.
"I'm poisoned!" she whispered lowly. "Don't let anyone else know about this. No one knows that she
replaced me, right?"
"She's been using your identity recently out there, but as her behavior is much different from yours, that
may arouse some suspicions. However, no one knows about it yet," Chump answered.
When he rushed back to the Riggs family’s residence to seek help while he was injured, he found out
about the things that Hannah had been up to recently, but he did not have the time to deal with her.
All he thought about at the time was saving Heather, and he found the chance to do so upon learning
that she would return to the Riggs family's residence today.
"Good!” Heather nodded and continued, "Help me back to my room.
