qThose thoughts prevented Charlotte from taking another step away. She was extremely resistant to betraying Zachary and being together with another man.
“I know that you can't let go of the past, but it's fine. There's no need to rush...” Chris strode over, sat Charlotte on the sofa, and poured a glass of wine for her. “Have some wine and calm yourself down.”
Charlotte took the glass but did not drink anything. Instead, she raised her head and asked, “Have you asked Jesse why there are toxins in your body?”
“Stop pretending.” Chris chuckled in disdain. “That's just a plan devised by you and those two old men. I've undergone a blood check at two hospitals, but the results revealed nothing extraordinary.”
“Now that even the Nacht family is under Jesse's control, do you think that it's difficult to control a few hospitals?” rebuked Charlotte mockingly. “Chris, you did not inherit your mother's intelligence after all. With such a simple mind, it's no wonder that you're treated as a pawn.”
When Chris heard that, he frowned. A tinge of unease flashed across his eyes.
This poisoning incident was quite suspicious. When he was undergoing a test at Divine Corporation, Charlotte did not have any chance to interact with Johann and Spencer alone. It was impossible for them to meddle with the test report and the blood sample.
If they wanted to do something, they could have just tampered with the DNA.
That would secure Charlotte's position.
Hence, after the incident, Chris asked Jesse about the poisoning. However, Jesse insisted righteously that he did not poison Chris. In fact, he claimed that it was part of a plan devised by Charlotte and the two old men.
To confirm the results, Chris went for a check-up that day with Jesse accompanying him. In the end, the report revealed that he was not poisoned at all. Still worried, he secretly went to do another test. Even then, there seemed to be no problem with him.
That was what made him feel relieved.
