Chapter 745: Chapter 745: Discovering the Conspiracy 6

"Oh, rest assured. How could I bear to let him die? He’s going to be the father of my child—my husband. Do you really think I’d just let him die?"

Vivian Yates grew more animated as she spoke. "Annabelle Linton, it must be awful, watching your husband sleep with another woman. What do you think? Maybe we’ll even have a baby after tonight?"

"Hahahaha! Annabelle Linton, I’m serious. I hate you so, so much. Ever since we were kids, you’ve been better than me at everything. You’re beautiful, you come from a good family, and everyone adores you. So many people like you! Sure, you didn’t have a mother’s love, and maybe you missed out on that kind of family affection, but you had everything else. Especially your friends—they’re not the kind of people someone ordinary could ever hope to meet."

Although Vivian Yates’s family was wealthy now, they hadn’t been well-off at all when she was a child. In fact, the Yates Family only achieved its current standing by relying on the connection between Lauren and Roxanne Jennings.

As Vivian Yates spoke, her eyes filled with hatred. "But what about me? I have nothing! I’m doomed to live in your shadow forever. And now, the one thing I thought I had that you didn’t—my parents—they’re gone too!

"To be honest, I’ve loved Leona since we were little, too. I love him every bit as much as you do. I know you two are engaged, and I know you love him, but he doesn’t love you, does he?

"So why couldn’t you just give him to me? So many people like you, so many men chasing you—you could just pick any one of them. It’s painful to be with someone who doesn’t love you. In a way, by setting you up over and over, I was actually helping you, wasn’t I?

"But you? You just had to fight me for him! If it weren’t for you, would I have ended up like this? I’m still so young, but my life is already in ruins. And you’re the one who caused it all. How can I not hate you?!"

"You must be devastated right now. Hahaha! The thought of your misery makes me so happy I could just about fly! Don’t you worry, I’ll never let Leona die, no matter what. The suppressant I have can keep him going for a long, long time. The two of you will never have a future together. He must hate your guts by now. Haha! So just go on and die in peace! Go on, die!"

Annabelle Linton listened to it all, her eyes glinting with a frigid light. "Vivian Yates," she said sarcastically, "you’re truly pathetic."

A dangerous glint flashed in Vivian Yates’s eyes when she heard that. "You call me pathetic?" she shrieked, losing her composure. "Annabelle Linton, what right do you have to call me pathetic? If it weren’t for you, I would never have..."

BOOM—

Vivian Yates was still ranting and cursing, but Leona Grant could no longer hear a thing.

In truth, Leona Grant had long suspected Vivian Yates was making trouble behind the scenes. Everything that happened tonight was a setup he had orchestrated with Xylas Shepherd.

But he had never imagined this.

’So it was Vivian Yates who poisoned me, forcing Annabelle Linton to leave me.’

’So it wasn’t that Annabelle Linton didn’t love me... on the contrary, it was because she loved me too much. That’s why she was willing to leave, willing to be threatened, and refused to tell me the truth.’

’I knew it. I just knew Annabelle Linton had feelings for me—that she loved me.’

’No wonder my health took such a sudden turn for the worse. I was poisoned!’
