Chapter 1563

Renee’s tone was light but firm. She never employed people she couldn’t trust, and didn’t dare to let Tess stay no matter what difficulty she was facing.

“Ms. Everheart, I… I’ve wronged you, but I beg you-please don’t send me away. I don’t care if you don’t pay me, but if you fire me, my… my mother is doomed!” Tess dropped to her knees in front of Renee, sobbing loudly. That woman told her that she would never see her mother again if the plan failed, so she had to keep working there.

“So, someone kidnapped your mother to threaten you and make you harm me… Is that what you’re saying?” Renee asked Tess sharply.

“I… I…”

“I stand by what I said —I might be able to help you if you tell me the truth now.”

Tess thought about it briefly, looked around to confirm that the woman was not around, then confessed, “Yes, someone threatened me a few days ago. It was a woman, but I don’t know her name. I couldn’t even see her face because she wore a mask, but she seemed mysterious and wicked. She… asked me to add a pack of drug powder to your drink every day for ten days. You took the fifth pack today. If I fail, she’ll kill my mother… I’m so sorry, Ms. Everheart. I’m really sorry!”

“I see.” Renee slowly clenched her fists. She wondered who was behind such a wicked plan. Was it Seraphina? No, Seraphina would never do something like this. Renee tried to think about it, but she didn’t know any other women who had such a deep grudge against her.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“I’m sorry, Ms. Everheart… Go ahead and call the cops to arrest me. What I did was wrong, and I should be locked up in jail!” Tess was desperate. She felt guilty for what she had done to Renee, but at the same time, she was terrified of that woman. If she was locked up in jail, she might be freed from that dilemma.

“You don’t have to worry, Tess. I understand your situation, and I don’t blame you for what you did…

but you have betrayed me. However, I’m going to offer you a chance to remedy your mistake. Do you want it?” Renee asked Tess seriously.

“Yes, I do!” Tess hurriedly agreed. She didn’t expect Renee’s forgiveness, and she hoped to make things right.

“Just obey her and do everything as usual, but during this time, you have to figure out her identity. In the meantime, keep this a secret from everyone. Only you and I will know about this,” Renee ordered Tess. If Stefan or Leia learned about that incident, they would go crazy, and that might just alert the enemy. Renee had no choice but to carry out her plan in secret.

“Is… that okay?” Tess thought Renee would ask her to do something difficult, but she just wanted her to find out the perpetrator’s identity.

“Yes, that’s it. Everything else remains the same,” Renee said decisively.
