Chapter 2210
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.
What a waste of her acting talent.
She thought she could prove her innocence since no one saw anything.
Plus, she rigged the dagger that was to Yuliana's chest.
It only had Yuliana's fingerprints but none of hers.
Tremaine studied Qiana as hundreds and thousands of thoughts flashed across his mind.
In the end, he only said, "You must be frightened; get some rest."
Ecstatic, she stopped shaking, heaving a sigh of relief.
He bought it!
He didn't even question her!
As tears pooled in her eyes, she said,
"I'm alright, Mr. Tremaine. My only
worry now is Yuliana; will she be
et
okay? I wasn't able to stop her, even right by her side. If something happens to her, I won't be able to
escape the blame. How could I be so
careless?!"
A trace of impatience flashed across Tremaine's eyes, which quickly disappeared.
He said, "It has nothing to do with you. Go and get some rest."Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"Okay." She added before she left, "Please don't blame Yuliana. She didn't mean to do it."
With that, Qiana left.
Tremaine's sharp gaze fell on 'fake Ruth', asking, "What actually happened?"
The man immediately reported the truth.
In addition to acting as Ruth, he was to observe Yuliana and Qiana's every move as Tremaine specifically instructed.
Although he buried his face in Zorion's arms, he could see everything that was going on.
A murderous look flashed in Tremaine's eyes.
He sneered, "What a cruel woman."
The man looked at Tremaine in confusion and asked, "What's our next move, Mr. Tremaine?"
Dangers surged beneath Tremaine's gaze, his tone cold. "Play dumb. The show has just begun."
Later, Tremaine went to the hospital.
Zorion was drugged.
A kind of philter that would render him delirious.
It had no antidote. The only thing that could ease its effects was a gastric lavage or waiting it out.
Considering the pain of gastric lavage, Tremaine asked the doctor to keep Zorion in the ward and let his body digest the drug.
Meanwhile, Yuliana was still in the emergency room.
The dagger hit too close to her heart.
Fortunately, she had great luck. Any deviation to the left of her chest would've cost her her life.
She survived, but just barely.
She was in a coma, and the doctors were still trying their best to save her.
The doctors told Tremaine Yuliana would survive for sure.
It was just that she would need to be hospitalized for an extended period after the surgery. Her wounds were quite severe, and she needed time to
recover. ns
Receiving the doctor's assurance, Tremaine said nothing more.
He had never expected Qiana to stab Yuliana, or he would have made preparations ahead of time.
He might not like Yuliana, but she was still his sister-in-law; he couldn't just sit back and put her in danger.
But what happened had happened, and there was nothing he could do to change it.
At least, she was saved.
And perhaps this incident would
velget
serve as a lesson to her since she had always been so arrogant, especially when she had tried to hurt Ruth this time.
Yesseca and Preslie were getting ready to close their store at ten that night.
