Chapter 168 Enraged

“Stop right there!” A stern voice sounded from behind all of a sudden.

Linda shuddered all over as if she had fallen into an icy pool, not daring to turn around.

Francis thought something was off with Linda’s facial expression.

He turned around and looked at Julia, who exuded an imposing aura, with slight discomfort surging

within him.

Considering her status as his elder, he patiently uttered, “Mrs. Hadley, my mom isn’t feeling well, so I wish to bring her home now. Let’s talk again later if there’s anything else.”

Julia stood up from her seat. She felt Linda’s reaction was a little abnormal since just now.

Usually, if something like that had happened at home, Linda would’ve been eager to step up and put on a dutiful pretense.

However, since Christina started speaking earlier, Linda’s countenance began turning pale.

Julia walked up to Christina. “You mentioned the dessert you served Old Mrs. Hadley was given to you by Linda?”

Christina nodded. Suddenly, her eyes widened as if she had realized something.

She glanced at Linda, whose visage was ashen. Instantly, clarity washed over her. “The dessert that was supposed to be Dad’s was given to Grandma. That’s why…”

At that point, Christina caught herself because she didn’t dare to finish her sentence. That dessert wasn’t adulterated with poison. Instead, it was some kind of aphrodisiac.

A furious look flashed across his face. He staggered backward in a fury and slumped into the chair before finally steadying himself.
