His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 715

Lily smiled, “It was just a cover-up.”

“A cover-up?” Alexander asked in confusion.

“It was pretty easy. We’ve been discussing what we could add to the raw materials when making our scented candles and what would possibly cause them to be unstable. However, that day, I was just saying this to confuse Henry. I didn’t actually make something stable enough to be used as perfumes or candles,” Lily remarked.

After hearing her explanation, Alexander could finally understand, “In other words, it did not matter whether or not the perfumes or scented candles contained that substance.”

Lily nodded, “I didn’t put it in the perfume at all. I merely added some medicine that could cause drowsiness in their tea. I calculated the time needed for the medicine to work and sprayed some perfume that could help with sleep onto my wrist.

“Furthermore, Henry was already panicking, and I only needed to give him a slight nudge in the right direction. Then he would think I did something to the perfume that caused his legs to go weak. Honestly, if I didn’t do anything, he would still feel sleepy when the time came.”

One of the reasons Lily could succeed was because of Henry. He felt guilty and knew nothing about perfume formulas and their raw materials. He chose this method because he needed to frame Lily or Justin to become the head of the family. That was why Henry thought Lily had added something harmful to her perfume to cause them to hallucinate.

“Wow, so that was the whole story.” Alexander nodded as he finally understood the whole story. “How could you even fool me?”

He was so confused by the occurrence that happened that day. Even after he knew it was not true, he was still confused about how Henry had come in contact with the medicine and showed symptoms of being poisoned in front of everyone.

However, after listening to Lily’s explanation, it was pretty simple. Still, humans were easily deceived by what they thought they could see.

“How could I possibly fool you? It’s just because you weren’t there personally, or you would’ve seen through my act right away,” Lily remarked as she placed her arms around Alexander’s neck.

Indeed, she was speaking the truth as Alexander had always been intelligent and observing. Even if he did not understand what had happened immediately, he would still be able to see through it if one gave him some time.
