A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 71

"Alright, I'm coming right away." Lisa Xia nodded her head hastily as if the man on the phone was the only one who could save her from her misery.

The man sounded so soft and gentle, and Lisa Xia imagined she might be treated well when she came to him...

She sneaked back to her room after hung up the phone and then grabbed some clothing randomly from her closet, together with some cash, bank cards and her ID. Lisa Xia then kept low and tiptoed along the windows to the unguarded backdoor.

Lisa Xia knew the house well for she had lived there for twenty odd years. She was familiar with each and every path and backdoor and so she could leave the villa without been noticed.

So no one saw exactly how she got out of the villa.

While on the other side, the test report of the salty water was out half an hour later.

That bowl of water contained 0.1 gram of nitrite.

Nitrite was nothing like salt, it was lethal.

Johnson Xia could only sighed while shaking his head when he heard the result. It seemed he was still not able to hate May Shen for what she had done to him. And instead of fury, his mind was filled up with guilt.

Johnson Xia couldn't even describe how bitter and desperate it was when he found out that the one who had shared the bed with him for decades was trying to kill him.

"Anna, if someone were fed with nitrite, how long will it take for it to be lethal?" asked Linda after thinking for a while.

May Shen had married Johnson Xia for almost 15 years, and no one knew when she started to poison him. It was unlikely that she had been doing this for 15 years.

"Between two weeks and a month, I think. But the thing is, those who accidentally ate nitrite may be misdiagnosed as having food poison by inexperienced doctors. And it could be really dangerous if they simply take the medicine to clean up their stomach and intestines." Anna Xu thought for a moment before answering Linda.

One month ago? It was exactly between the time Linda wet back to the Xia clan and the time she married into the Mu clan.

So that's when it started...

May Shen did not only sent someone to kill Linda on that bridge and then tried to cover it up as a simple traffic accident, and she also wanted to murder her own husband.

"Then will my father be alright?"

"He is fine. Luckily we found it in early stage since any delay could put his life in real danger. But don't worry, My Lady. I'll take good care of Lord Xia. And to be honest, he is... according to my diagnosis, Lord Xia is quite weak and could really use some tonics."

Anna Xu didn't say it straightly for she was still an unmarried woman.

Johnson Xia seemed at least over fifty.

Though Anna Xu didn't say the word, Johnson Xia couldn't help blushing embarrassedly.

The drama on the Xia's villa seemed to have exhausted everyone. Linda, especially, felt both her body and mind were worn out.

The truth came out unexpectedly along with equal disappointment.

Linda had always longed for her revenge, and it seemed she had had it by now.

May Shen had been taken to the bureau. According to the evidence collected by Charles Mu, attempted murder and commercial fraud would be enough to put her behind bars for at least eight years.

Anna Xu then listed dozens of medicines for Johnson Xia, whose body seemed to be drained by May Shen's years of endless needs, and he could really use some good rest to restore his energy.
