Chapter 350
âYam? Richard checked the menu beforehand, so itâs impossibleâ¦â
Madam Shaw was quite certain
After all, Lily was allergic to yam, so the Shaw family would certainly be cautious about it.
Frank poured a cup of tea for Madam Shaw. âDonât worry, I confirmed with the private restaurant responsible for the dinner. There was indeed yam powder in the desserts.â
âThen Charlotteâ¦â Madam Shaw actually remembered my yam allergy. âYou had rashes all over because you ate yam?â
âYes, I didnât pay attention when I ate.â I nodded.
Frank reminded, âGrandma, itâs not just Charlotte whoâs allergic to yam.â
âYou meanâ¦â Madam Shawâs expression became serious. âLily didnât show any allergic symptoms⦠but is it possible she didnât eat those two desserts?â
âShe ate them.â Frankâs answer was very certain.
Madam Shaw was puzzled. âHow did you know?â
Frank hesitated slightly, looking unusually guilty. âWell, hacked into the Shaw familyâs surveillance system and watched the whole banquet.â
Madam Shaw was momentarily taken aback but didnât press the issue. Her face darkened. âSo you meanâ¦
âRegardless of whether Charlotte is Lily or notâ¦â Frank didnât force me into things but said coldly, âIt seems that the current Lily was deliberately presented to us.â
âGrandmaâ¦â As soon as Frank finished speaking, Lily walked in from the yard. Her face was pale and devoid of any color, like a doll.
Beside her, stood Mrs. Shaw.
Seeing us, Mrs. Shawâs first reaction was not surprise but to directly confront me. âCharlotte, how could you have the guts to come to our house after ignoring Lilyâs urgent situation yesterday?â
She then moved to expel me from the house.
âStop!â Madam Shaw shouted angrily. âShe came to my courtyard and Iâm still alive, so who are you to make decisions for me?â
âMom, you saw how she behaved yesterday. She had no sympathy at all. Itâs better to have less contact with such a person.â
âYou had no sympathy when they were going to draw Bethanyâs blood, and Lily is your daughter.â Madam Shawâs tone was neither heavy nor light.
Mrs. Shawâs face remained calm. She suppressed her anger and began to argue. âBoth daughters are equally preciousâ¦â

âEnough, what do you want?â Madam Shaw didnât want to hear more and asked straightforwardly.
Mrs. Shaw pushed Lily forward, rolling up her sleeves. âMom, I want to ask if there were dishes with yam at the banquet last night. Lily suddenly had an allergic reaction.â
âLily had an allergic reaction too?â Madam Shaw paused.
Mrs. Shaw, seemingly oblivious, asked with confusion, âBesides Lily, who else is allergic to yam?â
âMrs. Shaw, didnât you see that Charlotte had such a severe allergic reaction last night?â Frank responded calmly.
Mrs. Shaw cleared her throat. âShe has no relation to me, so I didnât pay much attention to her.â
âLily, come here.â Madam Shaw turned to Lily. âWasnât everything fine last night? Why are you having an allergic reaction now?â
âI just had the doctor check on her.â
Mrs. Shaw was calm and orderly. âThe doctor said that the time taken for an allergic reaction to happen can be different when it comes to different individuals.
âReally? Lily had an allergic reaction within minutes of swallowing yam when she was little,â Frank said all
of a sudden. His eyes filled with deep inquiry.
