Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 863 Thinking of Setting a Trap for Her to Fall Into

“Mr. Raiden, as you predicted, they indeed tried to harm Mr. Fletcher after entering the ward.”

Having said that, he forcefully threw the two doctors onto the ground.

Both doctors knew they were in deep trouble, so their faces were as pale as death.

Raiden gradually withdrew the gentleness from his expression and began looking at the two with cold eyes. He slowly said, “Are you going to confess on your own, or should I force you to?”

The two doctors were completely taken in by the temptation of money, causing them to momentarily lose their sense of judgment. As for their loyalty to Lindsay, it was barely worth mentioning.

Seeing their predicament becoming increasingly dire, they all thought about coming clean in hopes of leniency.

“Mr. Raiden, we were foolish to do this! We were blinded by money and nearly made a grave mistake. Please spare my life. I'll confess everything.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We'll tell you everything. Everything! It was Mrs. Gibson. She bribed us. She gave us a kind of sedative fragrance and ordered us to work together to apply it on Mr. Fletcher.”

After speaking, the two simultaneously bowed deeply, their heads hitting the floor noisily.

The black-clad bodyguard handed the porcelain bottle to Raiden, nodding his head as he said, “This thing is lethal, Mr. Raiden, so I'd suggest you refrain from inspecting it.”

Raiden reached out to take the bottle, his gaze dark and inscrutable.

After a moment of silence, he murmured, “Even though she knew the Fletcher family was already suspicious of her, she still ordered someone to poison the old man. Isn't she courting death? How could the mother and the daughter do something so foolish? This is simply strange.”

Upon hearing this, the two doctors felt as if he was questioning the validity of their statements, which frightened them, causing them to tremble all over.

“Mr. Raiden, we dare not deceive you. This truly is from Mrs. Gibson!”

“Yes, absolutely! She exploited the chaos to discreetly pass me the sedative fragrance, even insinuating that I should administer it to Mr. Fletcher. I swear on my life, Mrs. Gibson was the one who provided me with the medicine. If I'm lying, I wish for a terrible fate to befall me.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Raiden remained silent.

After a long while, a strange glint flashed in his hawk-like eyes.

It seemed that there was someone pulling the strings behind Mrs. Gibson. He could play along with their scheme to see if he could draw them out.

With that thought in mind, he picked up his phone and sent a text message to Bailey: Mrs. Gibson bribed the doctor to harm my father, using... a kind of sedative fragrance. I suspect she has the Rogers family backing her up. Can you secretly bring Catherine to the Fletcher residence? Let's together expose this mole.

Three seconds later, Bailey replied with a text message: Wait for me.

Inside the elegant room on the second floor of the café across from the Imperial Hotel, a young woman was sitting by the window, leisurely savoring her coffee.

A moment later, the female bodyguard standing beside her reminded her, “Ms. Eunice, it's about time, we should be heading to the Fletcher residence.”

“The Fletcher residence?” Eunice raised an eyebrow, asking in confusion, “Why should we go to the Fletcher residence?”

The female bodyguard snapped her head upward and met Eunice's half-smiling gaze. Just as quickly, the bodyguard lowered her head again.

“Haven't you already made an agreement with Mrs. Gibson? She will use the Rogers family's sedative fragrance to poison Mr. Fletcher, and then you will step forward to accuse Ms. Catherine of the deed. This way, we can eliminate Ms. Catherine through the Fletcher family's hands. Isn't this what you've always dreamed of?”

With a cold smile, Eunice couldn't help but mock, “Going to the Fletcher residence to prove my innocence is undoubtedly like walking into a trap. I just saw Catherine leave the hotel. She must have gone to the Fletcher residence. What a fool. They must have set a trap and are waiting for me to jump in.”

Frightened, the female bodyguard quickly kneeled on the ground, her voice trembling as she said, “Please forgive me, Ms. Eunice. I was short-sighted and nearly brought harm to you.”

Eunice sneered, “If I wasn't vigilant, I would have been done in by that despicable Catherine years ago. The foolish Gibson mother-and-daughter duo wish to bring about their own destruction, so let them be. But they're even expecting me to step forward as a witness. How ridiculous. If the plan fails and those two fools reveal that I'm the one who gave them the incense, wouldn't going to the Fletcher family be like walking into a death trap?”

The female bodyguard slapped herself fiercely a few times. “I was a fool. I deserve to be punished.”

As Eunice looked at the Imperial Hotel across the street, a chilling smirk played on her lips.

Are you planning to set a trap for me to jump into? No way am I going to fall for that.

At the Fletcher residence's study, Catherine took the porcelain bottle from Raiden's hand, unscrewed the cap, and brought it to her nose for a sniff.

“This sedative fragrance is indeed my own concoction. If Mr. Fletcher were to inhale it, it would claim his life instantly.”

Bailey quickly interjected, “So someone's trying to frame you? Who have you offended? How did you end up with such a bitter enemy?”

Catherine squinted at the porcelain bottle in her hand, a bloodthirsty chill flickering in her eyes.

“It's my cousin. She's the only one who can get this sedative fragrance and has a grudge against me.”

Cousin?

Bailey blinked, suddenly realizing what was happening.

“The relative of yours who used the parasitic fragrance on you?”

“Indeed. Her name is Eunice Rogers. She's quite close to Mrs. Gibson and her daughter. If this item was given to the doctors by Mrs. Gibson, then it must have come from Eunice's hands.”

Bailey couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh. “I haven't even gone to settle the score with her yet, but look at her. She's choosing to come to me first.”

“Raiden, let's play along with their plan. We'll have those two doctors contact Eunice and inform her about Mr. Fletcher's death. Let's see if she will show up.”

Raiden gave a quiet hum in response before standing up to leave the study.

Sensing that Catherine's mood was down, Bailey instinctively reached out and held her hand.

“Your plan to avenge Luna. Count me in too.”

Catherine tugged at the corners of her stiff lips to reveal a faint smile.

“Thank you, but Eunice is always cautious. She might not accept the invitation, so don't get your hopes

up too high.”

Bailey scoffed. “So what? There's plenty of time ahead. I'll always find an opportunity to kill her.”

In the guest room at the Xuereb residence at Hallsbay, Scarlett was sitting on the couch, answering a phone call.

After the other party finished briefly describing the situation of the Fletcher family, Scarlett suddenly sprang up from the couch.

“What are you talking about? My dad is dead? How is this possible? How could this be?”

“Miss, it's absolutely certain. Mr. Fletcher, he's dead. The infirmary has already revealed the truth about his death.”

Scarlett's legs gave way, and she slumped back into the couch.

Sloan was dead.

What did that mean?

That meant that the Fletcher family was about to relinquish their power.

It meant that she could no longer live as Lady Scarlett.

It also meant that she could no longer protect Justin's maternal family, the Campbell family, anymore.

Moreover, it was highly likely that she would be kicked out of the Xuereb family by Olivia.

With a resounding bang, the door was kicked open, and Olivia stormed into the room furiously.

When Scarlett realized who it was, her hand trembled, and the phone slipped past her fingers, crashing onto the floor.

“M-Mrs. Xuereb, how... how did you get in?”

Olivia glared at her with bloodshot eyes as if she were about to breathe fire.

“I heard that your father has passed away. Is the Fletcher family ready to transfer their power yet?”

“Mrs. Xuereb, t-that's not the case. My dad is still okay...”

“Be honest. Don't play me for a fool.”
