Stella shrugged. "I don't know, maybe you bought a fake batch!"
She hadn't passed out at all; she naturally hadn't taken a sip of that drink. It was all an act put on for Frederick and Miranda.
Those two would never treat her with such genuine warmth.
Unwarranted charm usually hid sinister intentions.
To think they dared flaunt such a cheap trick in front of her—they truly had a death wish.
Originally, she planned to knock that creepy old man out once Frederick and Miranda left the room.
But to her surprise, while faking unconsciousness, she overheard Frederick's vicious plan to deal with her.
Since they were so ruthless, they couldn't blame her for playing dirty.
If they loved playing games so much, she'd give them a thrilling one.
She left, thoughtfully closing the bedroom door behind her.
She had zero desire to stick around for the impending spectacle.
It wouldn't be good for the baby.
The battle in the room erupted instantly, the situation intense.
Even with the doors and windows shut, Miranda's miserable screams echoed down to the first floor.
The Hawthorne family staff were so terrified they kept their distance, not daring to eavesdrop. This wasn't a show they could listen to for free.
At the same time, they secretly marveled at their employer. Mr. Hawthorne was certainly vigorous for his age to be putting on such a performance!
When the three of them woke up, Frederick nearly lost his mind.
