Charming Lady Hard To Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 977

Winnie didn't have the leisure to consider that much anymore.

Mr. Hunt had told her that Nora and Xander's safety took first priority. She took a step forward, but when she was about to say something, she saw that Nora, after taking the bowl of stew from Trueman, only took a quick whiff and immediately asked, "What did you add to the stew?"

Winnie paused.

Next to her, Harry glanced at her warily and frowned.

Winnie was so frightened that she hastily lowered her head and pretended to smooth out her clothes, putting on a stiff and reserved appearance.

At the dining table, Trueman smiled and asked, "What could I possibly add?"

Nora lowered her eyes. "Don't forget that I'm Anti."

Anti wasn't just a surgeon. She was also an outstanding researcher in the field of biomedicine. She was trained in alternative medicine and was capable of making a lot of different types of poison. Therefore, how would she possibly not be able to smell the extra "ingredients" in the chicken stew?

Trueman leaned back on the chair and smiled. "You are so clever, my little servant. Yes, something has indeed been added to the stew."

Nora didn't say anything else.

However, Trueman said, "So, finish it and put me at ease. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that you'll suddenly appear at my bedside tonight and kill me."

The corners of Nora's lips spasmed. She looked down at the chicken stew and then turned to look at Winnie. "Were you the one who added it to the stew?"

Winnie shook her head. "N-no, it's not me... Ma'am... I..."

She looked at Harry, seemingly asking for help.

Her acting was pretty good.

Nora couldn't tell what Trueman was up to this time, but she picked up a spoon, filled it with a little stew, and then took a small sip. As a fearful Winnie watched on, she said, "It is the muscle relaxant indeed."
