Chapter 1194
"No, that can't be it!" Hannah shook her head, frowning in disapproval. "If she wasn't poisoned, why didn’t she fight back when |
slapped her? With that temper of hers, she wouldn't be able to endure it! She must have been pretending to be fine earlier! | swear
she's poisoned!"
"But just now, did you see...” Ralph's gaze was drawn to the broken bed frame.
The truth was right in front of them. If Heather were poisoned, she would not have the strength to break the bed frame. "I can
guarantee you that she’s just pretending to be poisoned. In the deal | had with her, | was supposed to be the one to steal the
secret handbook, but she did it herself in the end. Think about it. She's so cautious, so how could she not realize that you were
going to poison her? I'm sure that she was just pretending because she has sother ulterior motives!"
"What kind of ulterior motives could she have?” Hannah immediately responded with a question.

"Well..." Ralph did not know what to say.
If he had known, things would not have turned out the way they did. He could not tell what Heather was thinking, which was the
sfor Alexander. He could not guess their next moves, so he suffered crashing defeats.
He thought that he was the one playing chess and laying all his pieces out, but little did he know that he was actually a chess piece
in someone else's game.
"No, she must be lying about not being poisoned. Raff, | didn’t lose to her. | didn't lose..."
The two disagreed, and Ralph understood that he had no way to persuade Hannah now. Hence, he could only let out a long sigh as
he stared at the dark window.
In the end, they still lost terribly.
Hannah was right about Heather being poisoned, and it was pretty serious. After leaving the basement, Heather stopped walking
after taking a few steps, staying in her spot and holding on to the wall with one hand.
When Chump had locked the door and followed behind her, he was puzzled to find her standing there. "Ms. Riggs?"
He noticed her lowering her head and spitting blood as soon as he called her name. The blood was darker than its usual color,
indicating that she was poisoned.
"Ms. Riggs!"
"Shut up!" Heather reprimanded, her voice low and weak. "What are you panicking about?"
“You...”

When Chump saw her crushing the bedfrearlier, he thought that she was okay. He did not expect that it was just another trick
of hers.
After all, Heather was brilliant, and no one could guess her thoughts. Perhaps she had her reasons for doing so, but she did not
look like she was in great condition judging from the situation.
“I'm poisoned!" she whispered lowly. “Don't let anyone else know about this. No one knows that she replaced me, right?”
"She's been using your identity recently out there, but as her behavior is much different from yours, that may arouse some
suspicions. However, no one knows about it yet,” Chump answered.
When he rushed back to the Riggs family’s residence to seek help while he was injured, he found out about the things that Hannah
had been up to recently, but he did not have the tto deal with her.
All he thought about at the twas saving Heather, and he found the chance to do so upon learning that she would return to the
Riggs family's residence today.
“Good!” Heather nodded and continued, "Helpback to my room.
