Chapter 118 Andrew raised his eyebrows slightly and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. "We have to pay attention to the movements of the Prosper Group during this period of time and let it scram back to where it came from."
"Itâs very likely that the Prosper Group was the one who poisoned us. They wanted to poison us to death to support new families," Jaden said indifferently as if he wasnât the one who was poisoned.
"This poison is called Scar Orchid. Itâs a powdered substance that is colorless and tasteless. The main characteristic of this poison isnât physical pain, but rather, it primarily causes hallucinations. In severe cases, the affected individual may experience numerous hallucinatory scenes in their mind, which could lead to suicide at any time. After death, even forensic experts cannot detect this poison because it metabolizes and leaves the body.
"Scar Orchid canât be found on the market at all, and itâs even hard to find on the black market," Danielle said slowly.
She suspected that this poison came from the laboratory of the Wulf Clan. âBut how did the Wulf Clan and the Shadow Domain get together? Or has the Wulf Clan been nurtured by the Shadow Domain from the beginning?â
When the few of them heard Danielle say that, they felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, the poison was cured.
"Then it really might be the Prosper Groupâs doing." Joshuaâs rage was burning. âSince they dared to poison me, I would definitely kill them when I had the chance.
Danielle asked, "Did you find out anything from the person who poisoned you?" These big families had all been poisoned. Fortunately, David was overseas at that time. Otherwise, he might have been poisoned too.
Now that the poisoners had been exposed, the news would definitely spread. The people behind this would surely become restless, and they might even take action again.
"Each of our three families found that the poisoners were maids who had been with us for several years. Only the Barnes family hasnât identified anyone yet. These maids were professionally trained, very skilled, and tight-lipped. They didnât say anything before we dealt with them," Cameron said, clearly angered. "To think that they were hiding right under my nose, and I detected nothing.
"Iâll go back and find out who poisoned me. I donât believe that I wonât be able to get anything out of him." Joshua was furious.
"When you catch the person, you have to pay more attention. Thereâs poison in their mouths," Jaden reminded Joshua because he was experienced.
Hearing Jaden mention that the poison was hidden in the mouth caught Danielleâs attention. Such a tactic was not commonly used by ordinary organizations; hiding poison in the mouth was intended to prevent captives from revealing secrets under severe interrogation.
"Mr. Barnes, if you capture someone and canât get anything out of them during questioning, feel free to contact me," Danielle offered.
Cameron thought, âThatâs right. Didnât Xavier say that Danielle could hypnotize? If that was the case, it would save him a lot of trouble.
He smiled and said, "Sure, Iâll contact you when I catch him. Miss Darling, letâs add each other on WhatsApp."
Danielle had just taken out her phone and was about to add him on WhatsApp when her phone was snatched away. "Contact me," David said unhappily.
"No way, David. Youâre so possessive. You canât even let Miss Darling add me on WhatsApp. Alright, whatever you say," said Cameron. âHow did this man in love become so petty? I wonât be like this in the future.â
Danielle put away her phone helplessly and smiled. "Alright, you can tell David when you catch the person." After all, she had to give her boyfriend the sense of security he deserved.
The few of them chatted for a while, and the meal was almost done. Danielle had to go back and prepare the things she needed to bring for school tomorrow. She had not done anything yet!
When she turned around, she saw Xavier still drinking. His eyes were narrowed and his face was red from drinking. He looked like he was drunk. She could not help but hold her forehead. âIs it really that delicious?â
Danielle asked, "Xavier, are you drunk? Stop drinking. Weâre going home."
When Xavier heard Danielleâs voice, he couldnât see where she was. He shook his head and felt even dizzier. Then he finally saw her. "Danielle, this wine is quite delicious. Itâs sweet. I didnât drink much at all. I can hold my liquor very well. If you donât believe me, Iâll walk you in a straight line."
Joshua was speechless. âHow could he drink with such a low alcohol tolerance? He canât even recognize Danielle. Joshua blinked and smiled maliciously. "Iâm not Danielle. Danielle is behind you."
Xavierâs reaction was a little slow. He turned around and started to smile foolishly at the person in front of him. After saying that, he even held Joshuaâs hand and giggled. "Danielle..." He even burped. After burping, he covered his mouth in embarrassment.
"Danielle, are you full? Iâm full. Letâs go home!"
"Mr. Darling, what a lightweight drinker you are! Just a little alcohol and youâre already tipsy! Miss Darling, is your brother always this entertaining?"
Andrew said.
Xavier was known in the entertainment industry, usually appearing cool and aloof on screen. Andrew and the others hadnât had much interaction with Xavier before. Today, they certainly didnât expect Xavier to be like this...
Danielle was helpless as she looked at Xavier holding Jadenâs hand and calling him her name. "I didnât know that Xavierâs alcohol tolerance was so bad..." She thought, âIf I had known that he would be in the same state as me after drinking, I would have stopped him at the beginning.
"I can see that his alcohol tolerance is really mediocre!" said Danielle.
Xavier pulled for a long time, but the one he pulled still didnât move. "Danielle, letâs go!"
"You havenât had enough, huh? Even so, you have to come home with me. You two arenât married yet; itâs not good for you to live together. Itâll affect your reputation!" Xavier, feeling dizzy and the world spinning around him, tried to lead Danielle away, but she wouldnât budge. Realizing she wanted to stay, he began earnestly pleading with her to reconsider.
So this was what it meant to be drunk. Danielle really did not want Xavier to embarrass himself. She was afraid that he would feel so ashamed as soon as he sobered up, so she reminded him, "Xavier..."
"Danielle, did David seduce you so that you canât bear to leave? He wants to lead you astray. Hurry up and go back with me. I donât want to have a little nephew before you graduate." When Xavier heard that Danielle wanted to defend David, he held her tightly, afraid that he wouldnât be able to hold her back and not go home with him.
Danielle blushed at his Xavierâs words. âHe only drank a few glasses. How could he be so drunk? Not only did he recognize the wrong person, but he also said some bold words...â
David looked at Xavier speechlessly. âHow could he even say that I led Danielle astray? He must be stupid from filming in the entertainment industry.â
The remaining three thought, âThe drunk Xavier is quite interesting. I have to force him to drink more in the future...
"Xavier, do you want to see where I am?" said Danielle. She thought, âI shouldnât have brought Xavier here today. After he sobers up, heâll definitely feel embarrassed.â
Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David)
ï¤Chapter 117 Xavier was so dizzy that he could not even stand steadily. His eyes were half-closed. "Danielle, donât move first. I see several of your shadows."
Danielle was speechless.
