His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel 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!”

“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.
