Chapter 1846


    Cindy increasingly regretted her actions, staying silent for a while before saying shakily, “Jojo,e


    back home with me. I’ll definitely—”


    “You’ll definitely what?!” Jodie’s grievance erupted like a flood. “I’ve grown ustomed to living like


    this. Do you want me to return to that slum with you? Let me tell you once more. My dad is the CEO of


    the Newhouse Group, my mom is a renowned author, and I am the future CEO of Newhouse Group! I


    have no connection with you or that slum! None!”


    “Jojo!”


    Jodie jerked her hand away and ran off without looking back.


    Cindy’s vision blurred due to tears streaming down her face, and her heart was gripped with pain.


    “It’s all because of Delh…” she muttered to herself, grinding her teeth. “It’s all because of her! She’s


    the reason our family has be what it is today!


    “Jojo, don’t worry. I’ll help you remove all obstacles, including this malicious woman!”


    Cindy wiped her tears, the difort from her diabetes starting to creep up. She endured the pain, but


    her gaze became more resolute than ever.


    Years ago, when Delh had made a deal with her, she had kept evidence…


    It was Delh who had instructed her husband to kill Anya, resulting in her husband’s death.


    It was Delh who had promised to raise her daughter, allowing her to live like a princess.

    It was Delh who had handed Maisie over to her, saying, “As long as she doesn’t die, raise her


    however you want…”


    Cindyughed through her tears, a peal ofughter tinged with self-mockery and a resolve to face the


    inevitable together.


    Had shemitted too many sins against Maisie, leading to her daughter bearing the brunt of it?


    Regardless, she wouldn’t allow anyone to bully her daughter!

    Chris and Lena arrived at the Quimby residence carrying a trunk full of dog food.


    Tigger recognized Lena and barked joyously, rushing out from the yard and wagging its tail while


    jumping up on her. Lena rubbed its fluffy neck,ughing heartBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

    Chris gestured, and Lena immediately took Maisie away.


    Daniel understood, ncing at him and asking softly, “What did you find out?”


    “The piece of rib you asked me to testst time did contain chemical substances,” Chris said in a low


    voice. “I consulted with a former military doctor. This kind of poison is prettymon in some


    underground markets. The main ingredient is lead, and the cost isn’t high, so it has decent sales!”


    “If a person consumes it once, what happens?”


    “Let alone once, even multiple times wouldn’t cause any issues. When this kind of poison is hidden in


    food, it isn’t easily detectable. Moreover, the dosage is small, and the human body’s metabolism


    eliminates part of the poison. There won’t be immediate issues.


    “But a dog’s body is smaller, especially Tigger at just over two months old, so this dosage is significant


    for it. As such, it resulted in immediate reactions.”


    “So, when it umtes to a certain amount, a person will have these reactions too?”


    “Yes, lead poisoning is severe. People can be mentally disabled and even face fatal


    consequences!”


    Daniel confirmed his suspicions. “Cindy truly has ulterior motives. Even if Maisie isn’t her biological


    daughter, she has been calling her mom for over 20 years. Yet, she really can bring herself to do


    something like this!”


    “Uncle Daniel…” Chris looked at him. “Should we… take action preemptively?”


    Daniel pondered for a moment. “No need. Let’s just observe for now. Maisie is safe with me here, and


    perhaps the Newhouses hold even bigger secrets!”
