Chapter 1354 "Wait, don't leave!" Faye called out urgently with reddened eyes.
"I don't know who she is, I swear. I've only ever heard her voice: cold, elegant, but very pompous. I remember her hands and her nails, painted with high-grade nail polish. She seems very pampered, much like a princess would be." i Charmine frowned.
An elegant temperament with a high-above manner of speech, and seemed like a princess?
Instinctively, a name crossed Charmine's mind-Waverly.
Waverly always spoke with an elegant tone, especially to people without status. She even acted haughtily, placing herself on a greater pedestal.
Most importantly, she always used others as her means.
Charmine looked at Faye and asked, "Sheâs the person who asked you to plant the listening devices as well as the flowers inside my room?" "Yes!"
Charmine suddenly laughed before she swept an aloof gaze her way." Should I say you're stupid or too ignorant?" "What do you mean? I didn't tell you to laugh at me!" Faye's face turned pale. "I'm taking you down with me if you can't cure me, Charmine...!"
Indeed, that mysterious woman intended and caused her harm, but she would not have been poisoned had Charmine not kick the pot of flowers!
Charmine should be the one dying, not her!
Charmine then hissed, "Do you know what the woman is? She's Waverly D'Cruz, Anthony's publicly known fiancee. She wants to put me away to marry Anthony. Do you think she's helping you?"
Charmine scoffed. "She's merely using you!"
Faye's face turned pale.
Waverly D'Cruz?
The woman she saw from the news two days ago at the Cultural Olympics?
She thought of the luxury car from the other day and was suspicious. Taking Nial's phone, she then searched for news about her and clicked on one clip.
Everything came crashing onto her the moment she heard her voice.
This was the voice of the woman who spoke to her over the phone.
Charmine saw her reaction and added, "She wants us to kill one another and then pocket the gains! Do you think you can marry Anthony if you killed me? How are you going to compete with Kansas' princess? Youâre being used as a chess piece, you fool!" 1 Charmine scoffed and turned to walk out.
Nial also glared at Faye before leaving. âYou better pray for yourself. Even if you survived, your brother and Anthony won't let you go easily!"
Nial thus went out with Charmine.
Faye was petrified at the bed, never expecting herself to be used as a chess piece.
She thought the woman was dumb enough to help her unconditionally. She even paid her!
She realized, at last, that she was the joke, the one played like a fiddle!
She was done for without an antidote...
Faye clenched her fists furiously.
Waverly D'Cruz, was it? She had to remember this person! i Charmine and Nial walked out of the ICU.
"What to do now?" asked Nial. "Even if we know the source of the poison, it's too severe, and we canât make an antidote right away. Even when we make one, Faye might not make it. Waverly won't give out the antidote so easily, either..." "Donât worry.
Leave it to me."
Charmine's red lips curled up coldly.
With that, the sky grew brighter as the sun rose to the heavens.
At M&G Hotel.
Waverly leaned on the sofa and glared at the message Britney had sent her.
[Fayeâs poisoned. Charmine and Nial are looking for help.] Her red lips curled up coldly.
