Chapter 561

She sank down without much struggle. The scene was so terrible that the women present around were deeply scared. None of
them dared to utter a single word. Many of them thought that Chelsea deserved it, because she has cheated on Maxwell. But
what perplexed them most was the reason why he had called out everyone and forced them to watch the horrific scene. Some of
them even looked at Ivy questioningly. Covering the mouth with her handkerchief, Ivy too looked quite disturbed. This was
because even though he had called out all his women in the mansion, she was spared.
"Maxwell, the crime Chelsea committed was unforgivable, so she deserved more than this. But what about the servants in her
house? Do you want to expel them all?" she asked calmly, pinching her own palm.
Maxwell stood up, passed by his wife, and left without looking back. He didn't say anything, but the anger on his face was
evident. Not knowing what to do, all others looked towards Ivy.
Maxwell had always respected his wife and had never embarrassed her in front of others. It seemed that at that time, he was

"Yes, My Lady."

"Make sure that no one comes to know about me vomiting blood," Ivy added coldly. She guessed that she must have too much

At the same time, after reaching back in his study, Maxwell took out a list from a drawer and crossed out the name of Chelsea.
The list included all the suspects from his mansion, who might have poisoned him. He had been getting rid of these people one
by one, and had successfully eliminated all the servants and guards from the list. Now, all the remaining servants and guards in
his mansion were his men, but leftovers were the suspects among his women, and they were his next target.
