chapter 1814
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 eatst 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 ce!"
Susan red at her and articted 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 red 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 red at Charmine coldly and hated her even
more.
If only her daughter-inw was Annabel, her rtionship with Anthony would not be as bad.
It was all this woman’s fault!
"Alright, alright, don’t fight,” Grandma Bailey interjected." Have Niale 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 toe 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.”
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 rxed 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 minutester, 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.
