NovelEnglish"I can't stand you, and we just don't get along, but I never intended to harm you or your family. I've already pleaded with Mr. Otto for you. If you just apologize to him in person, he'll let this go," Alexa said, noting Flora's silence with a touch of uncertainty. "Flora, seriously, you can't just ignore your family's well-being, can you?" She knew Flora cared deeply about her family and used this to provoke her.
Seeing Flora's feigned calm, Flora chuckled, "Alexa, do you think I'm that naive?" Alexa's eyes narrowed.
"He sent you, didn't he? He needs something from me." Alexa hadn't expected Flora to catch on so quickly.
Since Flora had figured it out, there was no point in pretending any longer. Alexa bluntly said, "Flora, I'm offering you a way out. Do you really think you can stand against Mr. Otto? Aren't you afraid of your family ending up in ruins?" "Just swallow your pride, apologize to Mr. Otto, and this will all blow over, won't it?" "Seems like what he wants fromisn't simple," Flora remarked, staring at her for a moment.
Even though Alexa wished Flora were dead, she now had to speak kindly to her, pressured by Hudson on her end.

Back at her spot, Flora picked up her smartphone and sent a message to Crimson.
-Check on Hudson's situation.
Ten minutes later, Crimson replied: The guy's in bad shape. Looks like his wound was poisoned and he's been running a high fever for two days now, about to lose it. Flora: Your doing? Crimson: Not me! But I'm thrilled, don't know who did it, but I want to make them my best friend! By the way, why the sudden interest in him? Flora: He's cbegging me.
After a bit, Crimson replied with several laughing emojis.
Crimson: Looks like he's really out of options. Knowing it's because c of you he ended up like that, yet still swallowing his pride to beg you! I can imagine the look on his face! en.swhovelsFlora smirked.
It was quite... tic.
A bit later, Crimson sent another message: So, are you going to treat him? Flora, touching her chin, thought for a moment, then typed: That depends on his sincerity.
She had a rough idea of what poison was used on him.
She also guessed who had poisoned Hudson.
Hudson's condition was actually easy to cure, just needed one application of the right medicine.
But for that one application, she'd make him pay dearly.

After Flora left, Alexa's phone was blowing up with notifications. Uhable to avoid it any lon longer, she answered.
"Mr. Otto, I've done my best, but Flora is too stubborn. She said you need to cin person and kneel to apologize to her before she'd even consider treating you," Alexa exaggerated her story, deliberately provoking Hudson.
She thought, a man of Hudson's standing surely couldn't tolerate such humiliation.
As expected, Hudson's breathing grew heavier on the other end, barely containing his fury. "What audacity!"
He almost spat out the words through clenched teeth, and after saying that, hung up. Watching her phone screen go dark, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Alexa's eyes. With Hudson so angry, he was surely going to take action against Flora! RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
