Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband-Chapter 224: Pack Your Things And Leave!

Staring at the results in her hand, Hannah let out a sigh, she flung her head back, relaxing into her seat, her conversation with Tara playing in her head.

"This is good, the drug I gave you is working perfectly. Keep lacing it in her food, and keep carrying out these tests. I may not be able to confront her face to face, but I can definitely outlive that bitch." Her bitter words resounded in her mind.

"Of course."

She turned to leave but Tara called her back, giving her a stern warning, "Don’t mess this up and let Thane catch you, he’s very observant and will easily kick you out no questions asked."

Hannah groaned, "Do you think I was born yesterday? If Thane found out, he’d make me suffer severely. I’m already in enough trouble as is, I know I’m threading on thin ice."

Tara scoffed, "I just thought to remind you of who you’re going up against. After all, you wouldn’t want Thane or your precious Brooke to find out your dirty little secret..."

Hannah rolled her eyes as the conversation replayed in her mind, especially Tara’s threat.

"That wench. She really wasn’t pulling any stops on latching on to master Grayson." Hannah shook her head, still irked out by Tara’s idea of poisoning Brooke.

She had given Tara the poison before Thane had her kicked off his team, it was a hard to detect drug that would take roughly about two years to finish Brooke off.

"It’s a good thing she’s not smart enough to see through these fake results." She raised her head, bringing her eyes to the forged papers in her hands. freewebnσvel.cøm

She smiled when she tried to picture the disappointed look on Tara’s face if she ever found out that she hadn’t touched the pills even once.

To Tara, Brooke had gone through more than enough problems, she knew her situation was dire, and dreaded what would happen if Thane knew. But then again, she didn’t have the heart to inflict any more harm.

"I just have to find some dirt on that woman within these two years-" her words were sharply cut short by a sudden banging on her door.

Swiftly, Tara opened her drawer and tried to shove the results inside, but the door was pushed open and in came Gilbert, some maids and Brooke desperately in tow.

"Gilbert wait-"

Brooke’s distraught voice was cut off by Gilbert’s announcement, "You two, grab her!"

On command, they grabbed Hannah by the shoulders, restricting her. The papers in her hands fell to the floor, and another maid hastily crouched down and picked it up.

Hannah’s heart raced wildly, as the maid brought the results to Gilbert.

"Mrs Grayson! I can explain!" she cried out, struggling against their grip.

Gilbert sported a deep frown, "Tsk." He hissed after reading through it’s contents, he turned to Brooke and tendered the results to her.

"See! This is what I meant! This woman is Matthew’s spy, and these results prove it! She’s been tampering with your health!" Gilbert announced.

Hannah shook her head, "What the hell?! I never did that! Those results are forged, I can explain everything-" she was saying, but Gilbert cut her off once more.

"The rest of you, search this room! She must’ve hidden something here!"

"Yes sir!" they chorused, then began to ransack her room, turning it upside down and breaking things in the process.

In-between huffs, Hannah pleaded with Brooke, who looked too stunned to say a word. "I promise you that this is all a misunderstanding! Please, just come with me and I’ll explain-" she was saying, but was cut off when a maid pulled out a bottle from a shoe box!

"Sir, I found this bottle of pills!" she announced, drawing everyone’s attention.

Hannah turned to Brooke, and she could see the pure stun written on her face as the maid brought the bottle closer for inspection.

Gilbert took the bottle and raised it to his line of sight, "If we have the contents of this bottle tested, what do you think we’d find?" his taunting voice sent shivers down her spine.

He turned to Brooke, "Mrs Grayson, judging by her expression, you can see that I wasn’t wrong in saying that this woman is a spy."

"I am not a spy!" she raised her voice. She used the back of her elbow to hit a maid’s face, hurting her nose. Once her grip loosened, she broke out of their hold and ran over to Brooke.

Holding her shoulders she looked into Brooke’s eyes. "Mrs Grayson I really am not a spy. Yes, I was only acting as one, but I was always on your side-"

"On her side? That’s funny, considering you led her aunt to ruin with the share buying scheme you orchestrated!" Gilbert interjected.

Hannah bit her lip, "Mrs Grayson I can explain-" she tried to speak but this time Brooke was the one to cut her off.

Her eyes watered, Brooke asked, "Were you really the one behind the scam? Did you really cause all those people to go into debt?"

Hannah stayed silent, her eyes loud enough.

Brooke closed her eyes, tears falling freely onto the sides of her cheeks.

"Mrs Grayson-"

Peeling her hands off, Brooke asked another question, "Did you know all this time, that my aunt was a victim?"

Hannah inhaled deeply, "Brooke..." she tried to touch her, but Brooke slapped her hand away, and sent her a harsh glare.

"I asked you a question, Hannah. All this time, while we were together, did you know that my aunt was one of the victims?" she asked in a pleading voice.

It was clear as day that Brooke had wanted Hannah to say that it was all a lie, she had reached Brooke’s breaking point, and the woman wouldn’t be able to handle anymore.

Which was why it broke Hannah when she nodded, tear choked, and forced herself to breathe out a, "Yes, I knew." to Brooke, who could see her world crumbling in front of her.

"But Brooke I swear that it was a long time ago! I didn’t know what I was doing-"

Gilbert stood in front of Brooke, shielding her gaze, his tone harsh he scolded, "If you know any better, you’ll pack your things and leave this place! Now!"
