BXBX NOVEL Chapter 91 - 94: She was almost "silenced by murder"!
“Grace, you have a point. That woman is not just plain in appearance. Her family background and character are equally shameful… Such a woman is not good enough for your brother Ethan. Don’t worry, Ethan’s mother is aware of this matter as well, and we have discussed it. Follow my instructions, and I guarantee you’ll secure your place as Mrs. Lucas.”
“But… who is it!”
Lily Gray secretly cursed; she had just overheard Emma Shaw reveal that her mother-in-law knew about the drugging and had even consented to it.
Blinded by her anger, Lily tightly gripped the door handle and inadvertently shoved the slightly ajar door open.
In the lounge, both Emma Shaw and Angelina Shaw were stunned by the unexpected arrival of Lily Gray at the door.
“I…” Lily tried to say something, but her eyes fell on the object in Emma’s hand, making her falter.
She saw Emma holding a tiny syringe filled with a clear liquid.
She suddenly remembered the words Emma had said earlier…
Somehow filled with fear at the sight of Emma’s malevolent gaze, Lily instinctively turned around and bolted towards the stairwell entrance.
A sense of dread washed over her as she perceived a murderous intention in Emma’s eyes.
“Lily Gray, don’t run… Come back, I’ll explain it to you,” Emma Shaw reacted swiftly, concealed the small syringe in her sleeve, and sprinted into the hallway.
Today she had deliberately chosen to wear a velvet long-sleeved dress, and the tiny syringe was hidden in the sleeve. Originally, she had planned to inject the contents of the syringe into the red wine Ethan was going to drink, but now, she had to change her plan.
If she was exposed, even if Emily might not believe Lily’s words, Ethan would certainly be wary of her and Grace.
If this was the case, she might as well go all out.
As long as she could inject this drug into Lily Gray’s body and then strip off her clothes, tossing her in any lounge…
When the time comes, for Emily and Ethan to see with their own eyes, the young Madam Lucas under another man, there would be no one left to believe her explanations.
The high heels Lily had chosen today in the dress shop were quite high, and the new shoes were still quite stiff.
Her mind clouded in terror, she found each step extraordinarily difficult to make.
She had barely made it a short distance when Emma Shaw caught up with her. Seeing the syringe clenched between Emma’s fingers, Lily was frightened to the point of pallor.
As the needle was nearly plunged into her arm, Lily desperately twisted to the left, barely escaping Emma’s attack.
Emma Shaw hadn’t anticipated that Lily would be able to evade even in this state. She quickly glanced around the hallway, seeing nobody, and gave up her plan to inject Lily.
Instead, Emma quickly retracted the syringe, opened her hands, grabbed Lily by her dress and threw her fiercely against the railing of the hallway.
While pushing her against the handrails, she harshly threatened, “I advise you not to reveal what you witnessed today… you know, the ones who die fastest in prominent families are often those who can’t keep secrets.”
Emma Shaw had married into the Taylors from a common family. Because she had many sisters, she was often involved in squabbles and power struggles, resulting in her being physically robust.
She may not have excelled in scheming due to her short-sighted nature all her life, but when it comes down to physical exertion, she was much more adept than Lily Gray who had grown up as a pampered young lady.
Lily was shoved outwards by her, and her stomach directly hit one of the wooden sculpted posts of the railing.
In the next moment, an indescriptible sharp pain zapped from her lower abdomen. She had never felt this pain before, it was as if something was rapidly draining from inside of her..
