The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 437 Who Would Have Poisoned Her

William's words made Laura stop in her tracks. "Someone from inside the Holden family... Who could it be?"

"Don't bother guessing." With the phone in hand, William continued, "Honey, some things get scarier the more you think about them.

"We'll do whatever we can to help. However, if we can't, let's just leave it. Let's focus on finding the herbs."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte's face grew grim.

She and Laura were best friends, but Laura got married much later than her. Laura only married Wesley after Charlotte had given birth to Mason.

Then, after Laura was pregnant with Marcus, Charlotte was also pregnant with Natalie.

They even agreed that if they both had boys, they would be treated as brothers. If both were girls, they'd stay best friends.

If they were of the opposite gender, they'd be engaged.

However, when Charlotte and William were on a trip, she went into labor when they were in Amberton. That was where Natalie was born.

Unfortunately, Natalie was swapped at birth.

As for Laura, she gave birth to Marcus at Holden Residence, surrounded by a professional medical team, postpartum care, nutritionists, and masseuses.

Marcus didn't get swapped at birth, but Laura was poisoned with something uncommon.

Regarding Umbrahex, they thought it was mere fiction. Unexpectedly, someone close to them was actually poisoned by it.

The Holden family's circle wasn't that complicated, but during Laura's delivery, too many people were involved, making things messy.

William said that the fact that they could do it without anyone noticing while keeping suspicion off for so many years meant that it was likely an inside job.

That narrowed things down significantly. However, the thought of it was terrifying.

Charlotte and William would never meddle in the Holdens' internal matters.

They only provided the herbs because the one saving Laura was their biological daughter, Natalie. They'd do anything to help her. Also, Laura and Charlotte were best friends, to begin with.
