Chapter 1303: Chapter 1303: Putting Sleeping Pills in Alexander Foster’s Breakfast_1

Manie York had a late night and woke up late. Upon waking, she saw her mother sitting by her bed, gently touching her face, asking if she was hungry.

She randomly asked for something to eat, then sat up, looking at her leg in a cast with a sigh.

"When can I get out of bed?"

"Don’t worry, the doctor said your physical condition is better than average, you’ll recover quickly. I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to attend the state banquet, but it seems like there won’t be a problem."

Manie York was surprised: "Isn’t the state banquet in just three days? I can get out of bed that soon?"

The state banquet is an important occasion for socialites from all the prestigious families to compete for attention. Every year on this day, doesn’t each woman dress up in her most luxurious and beautiful attire? How could she make an appearance looking like this?

Her mother said: "Going out today to take a walk will be beneficial for your recovery."

"Go out?"

"Yes, later your mom will take you to the countryside for a walk."

Manie York had been feeling very gloomy, thinking it would be good to go out and have some fun.

An hour later, the mother and daughter were driving towards the northern suburbs.

Manie York was staring at the scenery outside the window, her gaze was absent, and she slowly fell asleep again.

When the car arrived at the gate of the Lockes, only the driver and Mrs. York were awake.

The usually closed main gate was now open, and Jerry River was standing at the doorway. He quickly walked over when he saw them.

"Madam."

Mrs. York got out of the car, looked at the ancient castle-like building in front of her, secluded and gloomy, and with concern, she said: "Will this plan work?"

"This is also tacitly approved by Master Foster. As long as they think it’s a done deal, things will be easier in the future." Jerry River persuaded.

Mrs York glanced at her sleeping daughter in the car, worry knitted her brows tightly.

"Manie despises such behavior. If she finds out about our arrangement..."

"Oh, Madam, it’s better for Manie to be unhappy now than to be unhappy for the rest of her life. Furthermore, you already know who the Fosters’ preferred candidate for their granddaughter-in-law is. This is such a good opportunity, how can we miss it?"

"This..."

"Madam, don’t worry about the girl’s matters, I have already distracted her. She will be hunting in the mountains until the afternoon. There’s plenty of time, and..."

He leaned in closer, whispering: "And in Alexander Foster’s breakfast, I added sleep medicine. He’s deep in slumber. Just place these two on the bed. Once Miss Manie wakes up, she will take care of things accordingly."

After much persuasion, Mrs. York finally nodded.

The two pushed Manie York inside, preparing to push her into Alexander Foster’s room.

Just then, they saw someone walking towards them.

"Oh, is that Alexander Foster? Why is he still awake?" Mrs. York was surprised.

Jerry River couldn’t explain why at the moment and was dumbfounded: "Did he not eat breakfast?"

"Let’s leave and leave Manie here first."

"Will this work?"

"Let’s give the two of them a chance to be alone. The girl won’t be back anyway!"

Seeing Alexander Foster about to walk over, there was no time for them to hesitate, they quickly released Manie York and fled.

They ran out of the main gate.

Jerry River: "Madam, Alexander Foster doesn’t know I am still here. He thinks I went with her to the mountains, so he can’t see me."

Mrs. York didn’t have the mind to listen to him; she kept peering into the yard fretfully. However, the plants were too tall inside the courtyard and obscured her view.

"I can’t see anything! What should we do? Manie is handicapped right now; I am afraid that something will go wrong."
