Chapter 489
Roxanne walked in and pretended to ask casually, “What about Bruce? Didn’t he go out with children?”
“Oh, Mr. Everett is in the study. He didn’t go with Mrs. Everett!”
When Roxanne heard this, she raised her eyebrows, and a sly look flashed across her eyes. “I see!”
“Ms. Haynes, drink coffee.”
“Thank you. Don’t bother. I’ll just wait for Joanna here.”
“Oh, alright then. Ms. Haynes, if you need something, just let me know.”
“Okay.”
Ms. Chain didn’t say anything else. After serving coffee, she left the living room.
Roxanne walked around the living room and secretly made up her mind.
Being familiar with the surroundings, Roxanne knew exactly where the cameras were placed. With Joanna not being at home, it was indeed a rare moment for her to take advantage of the situation.
Ten minutes later, Ms. Chain walked out of the pantry carrying a tray, heading towards the second floor.
When Roxanne saw this, she immediately had an idea in her heart. She hurriedly went up to her. “Ms. Chain, what is this?”
“Oh, this is Mr. Everett’s calming coffee. He mentioned having a headache earlier, so I brewed a coffee for him!”
“Then hurry up and send it to him. Don’t let him wait too long.”
“Okay,” Ms. Chain replied and left with the tray.
Unexpectedly, when she passed by Roxanne, Roxanne deliberately stretched out her left leg and pretended to nudge Ms. Chain accidentally.
Ms. Chain staggered, and a full cup of calming coffee spilled on Roxanne.
Roxanne deliberately exclaimed and pretended to be scalded. “Ah!”
Seeing this. Ms. Chain panicked and hurriedly put down the tray to apologize. “I’m sorry, Ms. Haynes. I didn’t do it on purpose!”
“It’s alright. I’ll go change my clothes first!” Roxanne kept fanning the place that was scalded.
Ms. Chain frowned. “Tll go get a set of Mrs. Everett’s clothes for you!”
“Okay. Sorry to trouble you!”
“Then wait a moment. I’ll go get the clothes.”
After Ms. Chain finished speaking, she hurriedly ran to get her clothes.
Roxanne glanced around and saw that there was no one around.
Immediately, Roxanne opened her bag and took out a small blue bottle. She then opened the bottle and poured the powder
into the coffee.
Five minutes later, Ms. Chain came over with pajamas that Joanna rarely wore. “Ms. Haynes, you should change your clothes first.”
“Ms. Chain, I’m really sorry. Half of the coffee has been spilled!”
“Oh, it’s fine. I’ll just go pour another cup!”
“Alright! Thank you.”
Half of the coffee spilled out, but luckily there was a bit extra brewed earlier.
Bruce sat by the computer in the study, reading the information attentively.
There was a knock on the door.
*Come in.”
Ms. Chain pushed the door open and walked in. She respectfully brought coffee to Bruce’s desk. “Sir, your coffee.”
Bruce did not even raise his head as he replied indifferently, “Okay, just leave it here!”
Ms. Chain did not dare to say anything else. After putting down coffee, she hurriedly left the study.
As Bruce flipped through the documents, he became increasingly frustrated. The contents of the files were giving him a headache.

He simply closed the document and took a sip from his coffee.
“Hmm. The taste of today’s coffee seems a bit different, Bruce pondered. Then he thought it might be because of the coffee beans.
Therefore, he did not think too much and drank a few more mouthfuls.
A moment later, Bruce felt dizzy, and his breathing quickened.
“What’s going on? Is there something wrong with this coffee?” Bruce shook his head. Everything in front of him became a double image. The blood in his body flowed in reverse and burned as if it was boiling.
“Water, water…” Bruce staggered out of the room. He was about to explode and only wanted to drink a glass of ice water.
As soon as Bruce walked out of the study, Roxanne welcomed him.
“Bruce…”
Bruce’s eyes were blurry, and he couldn’t see who it was at all.
