Chapter 619: Chapter 620: Poisonous Lotus Flower (3)

At the time, the butler Xiuyi deliberately lowered the Venetian blinds, probably tampering with something, and Qian Xueying was also in the ward, indicating that she was in the know.

Such an inference meant that Qian Xueying was meddling with Duke Locke.

No wonder Duke Locke’s illness came on so suddenly, it truly was Qian Xueying’s doing. Now it seems that the so-called affair of Duke Locke leaving all his property under her management was likely her own arrangement.

"Harmless?"

Gan Yuan sneered.

It seemed that the death of the former butler of the Duke Residence might also be Qian Xueying’s masterpiece.

By rendering Duke Locke into such a foolish state, and then plotting to kill a loyal butler, she could elevate her own confidantes to power and gather the entirety of the Locke Family’s assets in her hands.

Quite the harmless one, quite the modest and gentle lady!

If it weren’t for Xiaotang inadvertently capturing Qian Xueying on camera, she might never have guessed that beneath the guise of this girl’s seemingly gentle demeanor lay such a scheming and cunning nature.

This one truly is a poisonous lotus under the guise of a flower!

So, was she really involved in the assassination attempt on Xiaotang?

Her targeting Duke Locke and the butler was obviously for the Locke Family’s wealth, that much was clear.

But why would Qian Xueying clash with her?

Was it because she was jealous of Moses’s affections, or was there another reason...

Gan Yuan was still pondering when hurried footsteps sounded outside the room, followed by a knock on her door.

"Come in!" She turned to face the door and saw Jessica walk in with a smile, "We’ll be able to retrieve your son shortly!"

Jessica’s tone was not without a hint of pride.

Gan Yuan stood up from the sofa, "What do you mean?"

"I just got the news that there is a charitable event tomorrow afternoon, and the Duke will be attending with the child." Jessica placed the map she was holding onto the table, pointed to a coastal location on it, "The event will be held here, just a fifteen-minute drive from the beach. I’ve arranged for a boat to be ready to pick us up. All we need to do is get the kid out, and we can leave by sea before he catches up to us!"

A charitable event?

The mastermind behind their previous assassination attempt hadn’t been found, so how could they bring a child to such a public welfare event at a time like this? What if...

Gan Yuan lifted her hand to her temple, frowning in concern.

What on earth was Huangfu Jue thinking?

"Don’t worry." Jessica, unaware of her concerns and assuming she was just worried about the plan failing, smiled reassuringly, "Everything has been arranged properly. I guarantee nothing will go wrong."

The key was, she didn’t actually want to retrieve her son.

"But..."

Gan Yuan was about to find an excuse to stop her when Jessica stood up straight and pulled out an ID card from her pocket.

"I’ll blend into the event tomorrow and lead your precious son out without anyone noticing, and I won’t let him get hurt!"

"If Huangfu Jue is attending the event, security will definitely be tightened. This won’t be so simple."

"I know you’re worried about the child." Jessica shook her ID card lightly with her finger, "Don’t worry, I have really considered everything, there won’t be any issues! When the time comes, just wait on the boat for your son!"

Jessica was brimming with confidence, but Gan Yuan was secretly troubled.

Gan Tang was safest by Huangfu Jue’s side. Her return to A Country this time was merely a pretext. Although she missed her son, she didn’t truly intend to take him away.
