Just as she had achieved the very thing she desired, a strange feeling flashed through Yuliana's mind.
Hold on. Something didn't feel right!
Ruth's belly seemed to be somewhat hard.
Just as Yuliana was about to take a closer look, she was stabbed in the chest.
Her pupils dilated.
And the next thing she saw was Qiana.
Her mouth was agape, and she fell backward before she could utter a word.
Right then, Qiana was about to stab Yuliana again.
It was also her first time stabbing someone. Hence her nervousness.
Though she had practiced on a dummy countless times, it was nothing compared to the real deal.
Just as she was about to strike, 'Ruth' jumped out of bed.
And it scared Qiana out of her wits.
Just then, the door opened, and she had to stuff the dagger into her clothes in panic.
It was Tremaine.
And the person they thought was Ruth wasn't Ruth either.
She was a man who was about her size, wearing a wig and her clothes. But the most shocking part was the fake belly strapped to his abdomen.
Yuliana and Qiana had been so bloodthirsty when they came in that they immediately assumed the person on the bed was Ruth herself, never bothering to verify.
Seeing that it was a fake, Qiana was dumbfounded, and followed by her shock was fear spreading to all her body.
How could this be?!
How could the person on the bed not be Ruth?!
Could it be...
Could it be that someone had long found out about their plan?
It was as if someone had rained on her parade, and she was too numb to react.
Tremaine ignored her.
He quickly had someone send Yuliana and Zorion to the hospital.
As for what had happened, Zorion was unaware.
His face was strangely red, and his gaze was full of the most primitive desire of all humans.
The drug had taken effect.
After the couple was sent away, 'fake Ruth' said to Tremaine, "Mr. Tremaine, you were right. Madam Yuliana's mental state is so unstable that she wants to take Ruth's life. And she..."
Just as he was going to continue his report, he saw Tremaine shooting him a look.
He paused.
He had been by Tremaine's side for years, so even with one glance, he naturally knew what Tremaine was thinking.
Immediately, he took a different approach. "Before I could see what happened to her after she stabbed the silicone belly, she collapsed, and there was a dagger to her chest."
Qiana was still in a state of horror when she heard the man's report, and a thought struck her.
Hold on!
That man didn't see it!
He actually didn't see it!
The heavens were on her side!
She suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and pretended to look miserable. "Mr. Tremaine, it was my fault. I didn't manage to stop Yuliana. I accompanied her when I heard her coming to see Ruth because I was scared something would happen. Who knew..." She choked with sobs, "Who would've thought she'd do such a thing!"
"She prepared two daggers and stabbed one into this man's belly and the other on her chest. Oh, poor Yuliana, how foolish!"
Her pitiful act was quite convincing.
