Chapter 1216: Chapter 1210: Does Miss Reiser Drink Echinacea Water?
"Kill her? But sheâs your sister! Does Miss Reiser really want me to kill her to vent my anger?" Xaviera Evans raised a mocking smile, her sharp eyes falling on Fiona Reiser.
"Of course I donât want that, but since sheâs done something wrong, she has to bear all the responsibility. Weâre willing to hand Mia over to Mrs. Mamet for punishment, as long as you donât hold a grudge against the Reiser family, after all, the rest of the family is innocent."
Fiona Reiser said these words, but she could see in Xaviera Evansâ eyes that she didnât really want to kill Mia Reiser. Sure enough, moments later, Xaviera Evans raised an eyebrow and said, "Miss Reiser, murder is a crime. I donât want to break the law."
Fiona Reiser let out a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with grief as she looked at Mia Reiser, and spoke gently, "Mia, if youâve done something wrong, you must be punished. Itâs okay if your face is ruined, your sister will take care of you in the future."
"Heh..." Xaviera Evans chuckled, her expression subtle, "Miss Reiser, Iâm curious, how did you come to the conclusion that Mia Reiser poisoned me?"
Fiona Reiserâs face changed drastically. She was certain because the drug in Mia Reiserâs bag was placed by her. But why did Xaviera Evans ask this?
Worried about exposing herself, she feigned concern: "Mrs. Mamet, Iâm not sure either, but I know Mia, sheâs been willful and reckless since childhood, drugging people when things go wrong. Youâd better see a doctor as soon as possible, so that the toxin doesnât enter your body... "
"Miss Mia Reiser did indeed put something in the water I drank,"Xaviera Evans said indifferently: "But it wasnât poison, it was just a bitter cup of echinacea water to clear away heat and dampness and stop bleeding. Miss Reiser, would you like a drink?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.
Mia Reiser nodded furiously, broke free from the bodyguardâs grip, and shouted, "Yes! It was just echinacea water!"
The excitement in Fiona Reiserâs eyes vanished instantly, her face suddenly stiffening, and she stepped back in disbelief.
Xaviera Evans leaned back in her rocking chair, a lazy glance upward, a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth, "How could Miss Reiser think that Mia Reiser was trying to poison me?"
"Sister! I never poisoned anyone, why did you blame me?" Mia Reiserâs face was full of grievance.
Fiona Reiserâs eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness. She composed herself for a few seconds before laughing, "So it was just echinacea water! Then itâs fine! I thought Mia had been willful and reckless again. Thanks to the fact that it was just a cup of echinacea water, Mrs. Mamet, Iâm really sorry for scaring you!"
"Mia, youâre really naughty. Why would you give Mrs. Mamet echinacea water? You scared me to death. I thought you gave her... "
"Miss Reiser, thereâs something I donât quite understand." Xaviera Evans interrupted her: "Mia Reiser and I did have some quarrels, but youâve been in the living room the whole time and shouldnât have heard what we were saying. Why are you so sure she wanted to harm me?"
Fiona Reiser was instantly nervous.
"Even if Mia Reiser wanted to hurt me, there are many ways to choose from. Why did it have to be a face-ruining drug? Miss Reiser, why are you sure she has such a drug? And this is Caleb Mametâs territory, even if Mia Reiser is foolish, she wouldnât dare to poison me in front of Caleb Mamet. If anything goes wrong with me today, sheâll never walk out of this door."
Caleb Mamet hooked his lips up, undisguised murderous intent on his body.
Fiona Reiserâs heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained calm. She answered gently, "I was just guessing because Mia had developed such a poison before and also said she hated your face, so I was afraid sheâd use this poison on you. It turns out I was overthinking it. Mia, you wonât blame your sister, will you?"
"Mrs. Mamet, I did it for your sake too, as I was worried that Mia would hurt you inadvertently. If you get hurt, Caleb will be heartbroken, so I lashed out at her, hope you wonât mind. Iâll send someone to bring an apology gift, please forgive Mia."
Fiona Reiserâs words seemed very reasonable; she appeared to care about Caleb as a friend and didnât want him to be heartbroken. She scolded Mia Reiser for her own good.
And she was even willing to offer an apology gift, which showed her good manners and the demeanor of a well-bred lady.
"Mrs. Mamet, Caleb and I are just friends, donât misunderstand. I care about Caleb, and I also care about the reputation of the Reiser family, so I lost my composure. I made a fool of myself in front of you."
Fiona Reiserâs words left no room for criticism, but Xaviera Evans felt that such a person was truly dangerous.
"You donât need to care." Caleb Mamet spoke coldly.
Fiona Reiser turned to look at him. The once dark, cold, and beautiful young man had become a successful and powerful figure in the business world. The person who should be standing beside Caleb Mamet was her.â
