Chapter 282 A Vicious Ploy
Joanna secretly concocted this powder. No one knew about this.
When someone consumed this, nothing out of the ordinary would happen to that person.
However, this power was notorious for lingering in one’s system even after some time had passed.
Soon, the powder would start to affect someone’s body. That person would feel weak over time.
In the end, that person’s life would even be in danger.
In one word, this was a chronic poison. She could poison anyone she wanted without having it traced
back to
her.
This ploy had been in the back of her mind for some time. If Jean would not budge, Joanna decided
that she had to use such means to fulfill her goals.
Even though this was quite a vicious move, she had to fulfill her goals no matter the cost.
She initially thought that there would not be any need for her to use such a potent thing, but….
Jean had married Neera, out of all people!
When Joanna thought about how intimate they were just now, she could not suppress her jealousy
from driving her crazy, no matter how much she tried!
If she somehow became Wrenn’s savior, then Jean had no choice but to take her seriously!
She could even use this as leverage to force Jean to divorce Neera. Joanna would have the chance to
marry him after that!
Joanna was the only one who knew the ingredients of this poison, so naturally, she was the only one
who could create an antidote.
No matter how good Neera was, Joanna refused to believe that Neera would be able to create an
antidote. herself!
Joanna knew that she had to do this. She had to be with Jean, no matter what.
She clutched the little bottle with force, but her face no longer appeared so wretched. A smile was even
ying on her lips now, as if she were in total control of the situation.
Soon, she returned to Wrenn’s room.
Mr. Jenkins said, “Ms. Bridges, you should go and rest. I will be looking out for her here.”
Joanna pretended to be worried about Wrenn. “Madam has not fully recovered yet, and I am quite
worried. I want to stay by her side for some time, and I will only leave after making sure that she
doesn’t have this nagging headache anymore.”
Mr. Jenkins did not suspect her one bit at all. He said, “That’s so kind of you. I’ll leave this to you, then.”
After Mr. Jenkins left, Joanna slipped into the room and stood in front of Wrenn.
Wrenn was already soundly asleep.
“Madam, Madam…”
Joanna called out to her to make sure that she would not wake up. Then she added the powder to her
ss of
water.

The powder quickly dissolved in the water and disappeared from view. This poison was odorless and
tasteless, so no one would be able to notice the difference.
No one except Joanna would know that there was a special ingredient in this ss of water.
Two hourster, Wrenn stirred from her sleep.
Joanna quickly came up to her and showed some concern. “Madam, do you feel better now?”
Wrenn was stunned a little to see Joanna, but she quickly disyed a friendly smile.
“Have you been watching over me?”
Joanna nodded shyly, “Yes. I was worried that you would still feel difort after waking up. That’s
why I should just stay here for now.”
Wrenn smiled broadly. “You’re really a good child. I feel more reassured with you around.”
Joanna handed her that ss of water. She said naturally, “Since you don’t think of me as an outsider, I
should take care of you even more. Come, have some water.”
Wrenn took that ss and took a sip without suspicion.
Joanna watched Wrenn take in the liquid, and deep down, she was ecstatic that her n had worked!
After returning to thepany, Neera held a meeting with the higher–ups.
Levi reported what had happened yesterday. “Our products were unexpectedly popr yesterday, and
the sales number is still going up today. It is still a hot item. This is a victory for us and your first victory
after returning from overseas! Everyone in the headquarters is showering praise on you! Neera, if it
weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be able to reach this new height!”
