Chapter 596: Bradley Wants to Help Ethan?

Bradley just sat there, not saying a damn thing.

He felt like the whole world had lost its mind.

Claire stormed back to the Douglas family, looking like she was ready to kill someone. She tried calling Daniel to come back and talk, but the dude ghosted her all night.

"Ma'am, here's some hot milk," the housekeeper said, walking in with a cup and handing it to Claire.

Claire's face went from bad to worse. She took a sip, and something felt off. She frowned.

The housekeeper turned white as a sheet and backed away quickly.

Claire got it instantly, called in some folks to grab the housekeeper, and dialed 911. "Ma'am, you should hit the hospital and get your stomach pumped."

Claire hadn't swallowed much poison, but the whole stomach-pumping, injection, and IV drip ordeal dragged on all night.

Eventually, the cops found the milk was just loaded with sedatives. Claire hadn't drunk much, and she would've been fine after a good nap.

Claire lost it and started smashing stuff in the hospital room.

"Ma'am, about the housekeeper," Howard's assistant, Mark, walked in, looking around nervously.

"Forget it. Just get her out on bail." Claire didn't want the housekeeper blabbing to the cops.

No need to ask. Claire knew who was behind it. It had to be Howard.

Howard couldn't wait to see her dead.

He didn't want to make a scene, so he had someone slip her sleeping pills, hoping she'd never wake up.

"I want to kill Howard! I want to kill him!" Claire's voice was raw, clutching the bed sheet tightly.

Mark stepped up to calm her down, speaking softly, "Howard's a sneaky bastard, using a woman to take the fall. He's the worst."
