Chapter 618
Edward turned to Lara in puzzlement with apletely lost look on his face. Even though he could
hear everything that he was saying, he was unable to understand a single word of it.
Shaking her head out of instinct, she forced herself to calm down, but her face, which was losing its
color with every passing second, had already betrayed her emotions.
She shakily felt that maybe Eugene knew much more than she thought!
"Aren''t youing back to take a seat and listen?" Eugene asked.
Now that he was baffled by Eugene''s actions, Edward returned to their seats while holding Lara''s hand.
Since they couldn''t leave anyway, standing there would just make things more awkward for them.
Also, he would like to know just exactly what Eugene was up to.
Seeing that Edward had taken his seat, Eugene then shifted his gaze to the higher management of the
company and began, "Actually, it''s true that I was hospitalized this time because of poisoning.
Someone ced an hourss on my desk, iming that it can help with calming the nerves, but the
scent emitting from it contains cyanide. However, because of the scent, we couldn''t tell anything
unusual about it. As everyone knows at the time, North was with me every day at the office. Not only
that, a candy found in his pocket one day also contained thatponent, but with a much higher dose.
Luckily, he didn''t take the candy, but he was still poisoned and suddenly passed out a few days ago.
After a checkup by Dr. Maxwell, we found out that he''s poisoned, and I have symptoms of poisoning as
well after a test. That''s why we were hurriedly hospitalized. In spite of that, North''s condition is worse
than mine, and the doctor said that he might have lost his life if we were just a littleter with the
treatment."
As he spoke, he turned to Lara with a murderous look in his eyes. "I would like to ask, just how much
do you hate me that not only would you want to kill me, you would even involve an innocent child?"
A dumbstruck Edward nced at Lara out of reflex before he pointed at Eugene and angrily shouted,
"What nonsense are you spouting, Eugene? Why do you say this is Lara''s doing? Why would she harm
you?"
Casting a nce at Edward, Eugene answered, "You''re always speaking up and rifying for her.
Sometimes I really wonder whether you''re really that dumb or it''s just a pretense. Otherwise, how can
you not know whether the person sharing a bed with you is a mortal or a devil?"
A stunned Edward gawked at him with doubt in his eyes as he wondered, What does he mean by that?
At this point, Lara feigned anger as well. "What other usations are you going to throw at me,
Eugene? When did I ever ce an hourss on your desk? Everyone knows that I haven''t been to the
company for a very long time!"
Eugene sneered. "Do you think I''ll stop you two from leaving without any proof? It''s true that you didn''t
do that, but you ordered Anna Maxwell to ce it."

When she heard that, Lara''s expression changed. Oh no, he really knows everything, she realized. But
how?
After Anna''s stic surgery, even she couldn''t recognize Anna, so how did he recognize the woman? If
he knows that Samantha is, in fact, Anna, does he also know that I''m a shareholder of Kanes
Corporation? Then, did he already find out about me and Gerald?
At the thought of this, a chill ran down her spine all the way to her toes and she could distinctively feel
her hairs on her back standing on its end.
However, she couldn''t just be a sitting duck, so she turned to him and asked angrily, "I don''t know
anyone named Anna Maxwell, so what did I order her to ce?"
Eugene gave a cold smile before he uttered, "You haven''t even learned, do you?"
Meanwhile, Edward looked from one person to the other with the feeling that he had been left out of the
conversation. Why couldn''t he understand a single thing they were speaking about? Who was Anna
Maxwell?
"Bring her in!" Eugene ordered.
After he said that, the conference door opened to reveal Anna being brought in by a bodyguard. On the
surface, she appeared to be alright.
