The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1531

"Take another look. No matter how I examine this plant, it seems completely harmless. The others didn't eat its purple fruit, so how could they have been poisoned?"

Exactly. Why was the air thick with the toxins from the Dreamweed fruit?

That was the exact question Claire wanted to ask.

"Zeke certainly has incredible luck, managing to cure himself of the Dreamweed poison."

Claire gave Zeke a long, probing look.

Zeke scratched his head, feigning a sheepish innocence. "I didn't expect to get so lucky either. In my panic, I just remembered the detoxification method you mentioned earlier, Claire."

"I didn't know exactly how to eat the roots to cure it, so I just dug them up and ate them raw."

Zeke casually chalked his survival up to a happy accident.

"Let me take your pulse and check your condition," she offered.

"Eating the root raw like that wouldn't completely neutralize the Dreamweed toxin."

"Alright, please take a look." Zeke extended his arm.

Claire checked his pulse and found that the primary toxin had indeed been cleared from his system.

As for any residual poison, it wouldn't cause significant harm to his body.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team was trying to figure out how to dive to the bottom of the deep pool to search for the missing men.

Without proper diving gear, they were hesitant to plunge into the unknown depths blindly.

Silas Carl selected two of his strongest swimmers to make the dive.

However, when a full fifteen minutes passed without them surfacing, a heavy unease settled over Silas.

Jace James hesitated for a moment before looking at Claire. "Clan Successor, should I go down and take a look?"

"I'm a very strong swimmer."

Naturally, his rigorous training had included underwater survival.

Bodyguards like Jace and Rory James were the modern equivalent of elite shadow guards sworn to protect the Clan Successor.

They were highly skilled in almost every conceivable scenario.

Seeing that Silas's men hadn't returned, Claire was genuinely worried about Jace's safety.
