Annabel nodded weakly. "Yes, it has nothing to do with Ms. Charmine. She treats me very well, so why would she harm me?"
Senior Bailey made it apparent that he did not believe that Charmine did it. He looked at Annabel and asked, "Think properly: What else did you eat last night?"
Annabel pursed her pale lips and said, "I...I had a craving, so
I had some ice cream."
"No way!" snapped Fanny angrily. "Ms. Annabel, how can you be so kind? Ms. Charmine is obviously going against you, yet you spoke up for her? I served you all night. After dinner, you only drank the sea-cucumber soup given to you by Ms.
Charmine. You didn't have ice cream!" ’
Fanny then swore, "If I lied, I'll be struck by lightning!"
With that oath, Annabel pursed her lips helplessly as if she had to agree.
Everyone then fixed their eyes on Charmine.
Senior Bailey's eyes went from feeling determined to slightly suspicious.
Charmine met their suspecting gazes and said coldly, "What reasons are there for me to hurt Annabel? If I wished to hurt her, I wouldn't have let her have the baby in the first place!"
Susan glared at her and articulated her words, "Chris needed a cure, and you had no choice. Now, you no longer need it, and the baby’s father is still Anthony. You're not pregnant, so you're jealous and hate
her! You agreed for Annabel to stay here because you were in a hurry to get married to Anthony!"
"Shut up!" Anthony's face turned cold as he glared at Susan darkly. He said arrogantly, "It was I who begged her to marry me from the start. She was never in a hurry to marry me! If you insult her again, you better be ready to pay the price!"
Susan's face stiffened as her own son rebuked her. She glared at Charmine coldly and hated her even more.
If only her daughter-in-law was Annabel, her relationship with Anthony would not be as bad.
It was all this woman’s fault!
"Alright, alright, don’t fight,” Grandma Bailey interjected." Have Nial come home to examine whether the seacucumber is fine and we'll have an answer, won't we?"
"Good," said Charmine. "I'm clean, you may check all you like!"
"Alright, ask Nial to come home.” Grandma Bailey looked at Charmine with the same determination. "Charmine, I'm not suspecting you. I only want to prove that it wasn't your fault."
"I know." Charmine looked at Grandma Bailey. "Thank you, Grandma.”
Susan looked at her coldly, ready to watch the grand joke reveal unfolding. She took out her phone and called Nial,
who came home shortly after.
He also sided with Charmine, saying, "Why would Charmine do such things? The sea cucumbers must be fine!"
Senior Bailey said, "Since you're back, check it and give Annabel justice. If the problem isn't with the sea-cucumber, we can prove that Charmine is innocent."
Anthony looked at him and said, "Examine them.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Fanny brought down the big box of luxury sea cucumbers and handed it to Nial.
The moment he saw the sea cucumbers, he frowned.
His usually relaxed face became serious. He looked at Charmine quietly before taking a few gadgets out of his medical box. He cut open the sea-cucumber for the examination, i
However...
A few minutes later, when he saw the data on the machines, his frown deepened.
Senior Bailey asked seriously, "Did you find anything?"
Nial said helplessly, "Although there's no harmful substance in the sea cucumbers, there's AQ added in them. The concentration is too high, so pregnant women can't consume them."
In other words, Annabel’s stomach ache was caused by the sea cucumbers given by Charmine.
Susan looked at Charmine mockingly. "You never really know someone. She looks so understanding on the surface, yet she is so evil behind our backs!"
Senior Bailey looked at Charmine disappointingly.
The group of maids, meanwhile, continued to gossip below their breaths.
