The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1109

After lunch, Zeke made arrangements to send a truckload of daffodils to Charlie's house. 4

The daffodils he sent were all high-quality grades that were very lush and green, and none of them were flowering as per Charlie’s request. 1

Daffodils looked very similar to chives especially when they were not blooming. 3

People in the city could not distinguish plants very clearly. Also, most people who ate chives had only seen chives sold in the market that were tied in a bundle, but they had never seen chives growing in the ground, so they were unable to differentiate chives and daffodils in plain sight and would often get confused by the similarities. 1

Chive was a vegetable fancied by many people. It was an indispensable amazing ingredient when it came to stir-frying, soup, making pies, or dumplings. 5

However, daffodils were not edible.

Why? Because daffodils contained narcissus.

Narcissus was a toxic alkaloid. 1

When Elaine told Charlie that Lady Wilson liked to eat chives, he immediately thought of daffodils. 1

He knew that after the sneaky Lady Wilson succeeded in stealing vegetables for the first time, she would

definitely repeat her sinister act again and again.

Hence, he asked Zeke to arrange workers to plant all these daffodils on the villa's wall. 2

By doing so, Lady Wilson could simply reach out and grab a bunch of the daffodils from outside the fence-i t would be very easy to steal them. 1

If she stole these daffodils and consumed them as chives, she would learn a miserable and unfortunate lesson from it.

Although the poison was not lethal, admission to the hospital and several days of treatment was inevitable, s

Charlie's objective was to let them be admitted to the hospital after consuming those toxic daffodils. During the time they were in the hospital, he would hire some people to turn all the fences around the villa into walls and build a glasshouse for his vegetable garden. That way, no one could steal his vegetables again. 1
