Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4111

Had it been in the past, Colori Phoenix would never have believed him. Yet after seeing Mona let herself go in front of Darryl that night in the stone chambers, Colori Phoenix retracted a great deal of her trust in Darryl.

"I swear I'm telling the truth." Oliver nodded solemnly.

"That b*stard, Darryl Darby," Colori Phoenix gritted out, an icy expression on her features. "I can't believe he would do something like that."

Since Colori Phoenix Phoenix did not have a shred of doubt, Oliver fought to keep the anger in this expression while his chest swelled with satisfaction.

He was too good. He had managed to push the blame onto Darryl with a mere few sentences, and Colori Phoenix had believed all of it.

"I—"

Leia was about to jump out of her skin in anger and panic to explain what had really happened to Colori Phoenix. Yet she was held down by the Essence of Delusion in her body, an unbearable heat spreading through her. Images began to appear in her head as well. Under those circumstances, she could hardly get a word out.

"Leia!"

Colori Phoenix hurried over, stuffing a deep red pill into Leia's mouth. "Don't speak. This is the Red Sparrow Pill. It'll help expel the poison from your body."

Crap!

Oliver's expression morphed into one of horror. His lie would be exposed the second Leia woke up. That would not do, would it?

Yet he dared not do anything.

Leia's mind lost focus as a curious strength spread through her body after she took the Red Sparrow Pill. Her vision darkened, and she immediately lost consciousness.

Oliver asked in a panicked tone. "What happened to her?"

"No need to worry!"

Colori Phoenix's expressions remained unperturbed. "It's one of the effects of the pill. The deeper she has been poisoned, the longer she'll be unconscious."

So that was the case.

Oliver heaved a sigh of relief. He was thankful that Leia would not wake up immediately. He still had time to fix things.

However, how would she do that?

"Oliver!"
