"Alright," Hailey whispered.

With that, Olivia turned and walked out.

Near the door, Rebecca immediately moved into a corner. She stayed there, watching as Olivia disappeared down the hallway.

Once the coast was clear, she returned to the doorway and peeked into the room again.

Hailey sat with her head lowered. She had become nothing more than a shadow of the beloved heiress she once was.

A wave of satisfaction surged through Rebecca. The truth was, she had always harbored jealousy toward Hailey. The fact that Hailey outshone her in every aspect was unbearable.

The shadows of envy had long twisted and engulfed Rebecca's mind. She craved nothing more than to tear Hailey down and make her life a living hell.

More than stealing Jonah, she was determined to claim the title of Mrs. Pilsner. Finally, her moment had arrived.

After all, Olivia had just returned to prepare Hailey's soup. Should Rebecca tamper with it, Hailey would be dead within hours.

Furthermore, Olivia would serve as the perfect scapegoat. No one would ever suspect Rebecca.

With that in mind, Rebecca pulled out her phone and made a call. "Hello, I'm looking for something."

On the other end, a man responded, "What is it?"

"I need a lethal poison," Rebecca said sharply. "It must be something that can be easily mixed into a dish. If you can get it, I'll pay any price."

The man chuckled. "Welcome to the black market. As long as you've got the money,

I can get you anything."

"I need it immediately," she pressed.

"Sure. You can come by and pick it up."

"Perfect."

With that, Rebecca cast one last glance at Hailey in the hospital room. A smirk played on her lips as she slipped away.

Without further delay, she hailed a cab and made her way to the black market. In the shadows, her contact waited.

The man handed over a small packet of powder. "Here's what you requested."

"This is the poison, right? I need it to be as deadly as possible."

The man smirked. "For someone pretty, you've certainly got a

heart, Don't worry. Anyone wheed

ingests this won't make it out alive."

This poison was exactly what Rebecca wanted. It matched her expectations perfectly. "Good. I'll transfer the funds immediately."

The man's grin widened. "It's been a pleasure doing business with you."

Once the payment was sent, Rebecca hailed a cab and made her way to Olivia's.

To Rebecca, Olivia had always been nothing more than a pawn, and now, she was about to serve her greatest purpose.

Half an hour later, Rebecca arrived at Olivia's apartment.

Upon pressing the doorbell, the door swung open. "Who is it—Rebecca? What are you doing here?" Olivia asked.

Rebecca smiled. "Olivia, didn't you go to see Hailey? I was a little worried, so I decided to drop by and check on you."

"Come on in," Olivia said.

Without hesitation, Rebecca stepped inside.

Olivia closed the door behind her. "My family's not home. It's just me here right now."

Rebecca felt like fate was on her side. With Olivia alone, making her move would be much easier.

"So, how's Hailey? Why aren't you at the hospital?" Rebecca asked, feigning

concern.

Olivia moved into the kitchen and stirred a pot of chicken soup on the stove.

"I already went to see Hailey at the hospital," she explained. "She's not doing very well, but I did my best to comfort her. Since she hadn't eaten

anything, I decided to come back

and prepare her some sou

Seizing the opportunity, Rebecca stepped closer. "Olivia, what kind of soup are you making?"

"Just some chicken noodle soup," Olivia replied.

Rebecca took a deep breath. "Wow, it smells amazing! With Hailey being pregnant, she definitely can't skip

meals. She needs all the nutrition she can get." Content FindNovel.net
