When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 1009: An Evil Thought Emerges
Thinking about that scene, Rhiannon Xavier felt particularly excited, unable to suppress the malicious smile in her eyes.
She believed that as long as this matter was handled well, it would go unnoticed. ππΏπππ ππππ¨πππ.ππ π
After all, the girl recently drank so much herbal medicine, who can guarantee it wasnβt the medicine?
Old Mr. Downey is old, even if heβs still sharp, he must have moments of confusion, right?
In any case, this matter would have nothing to do with her, Rhiannon Xavier!
She maintained a good faΓ§ade, how could she possibly harm Shane? Her father and mother still love her! Itβs a bond cultivated over twenty years.
With these thoughts, Rhiannon Xavier cheerfully made her way to the pharmacyβs door.
Indeed, it was much quieter here, with no one inside and the door wide open.
She stepped inside, noticing the faint scent of herbal medicine in the air; the medicine was being brewed.
Looking at the faintly steaming medicine pot on the stove, Rhiannonβs heart filled with delight; she had come at just the right time!
Without wasting any time, she walked over, opened her bag, and took out a packet of white powder.
Using a cloth to lift the lid of the medicine pot, she poured the powder directly inside.
There was not a trace of hesitation in her actions, revealing her ruthless nature.
After pouring the powder in, she quickly stirred it a few times with a spoon, making it disappear without a trace.
Then she replaced the lid, put the powder packet back in her bag, zipped it shut, and turned to leave!
Intending for this to go unnoticed, she reached the doorway only to encounter Old Mr. Downey.
Rhiannon collided with his gaze, her steps faltering, a trace of guilt on her face, uncertain of when he had arrived.
Had everything she just did been seen by him?
Standing on each side of the doorway, the two gazed at each other intently.
Old Mr. Downeyβs expression was more serious than usual, his murky eyes fixed unwaveringly on her!
Staring so intensely that the girl felt a bit uneasy, "..." but five seconds later, Rhiannon smiled, "Good evening, sir." She still greeted him.
"What are you doing here?" The old manβs voice was deep, as he stepped inside, his gaze cold upon her.
With the old manβs approach, the smiling Rhiannon felt an unusual aura and involuntarily stepped back two paces.
"I... I just came to look around, didnβt do anything, Iβm leaving now." Saying this, she drew her gaze back, attempting to leave.
As she passed the old man, he unexpectedly grabbed her wrist! The grip made her heart skip a beat, making her pause.
Rhiannon was surprised not by his action but by the strength of the old man, surprisingly robust!
She turned her gaze toward the old man, the smile gone from her face, her eyes fierce, "Let go of me!"
The old man ignored her, holding her tightly.
It was clear that her previous actions had been seen by the old doctor.
"You want to harm Faye?" Old Mr. Downey turned his gaze, holding her firmly, staring coldly at her, "What did you just pour into that medicine?"
He had indeed seen it!
Rhiannon swallowed, gritted her teeth, and decided to do whatever it takes, struggling to break free, "Let go!"
Unexpectedly, the old man resisted, gripping her tighter, "Answer me! Miss Xavier!"
Protective of his disciple, disregarding her identityβ
"Why would you want to harm her?! Sheβs the eldest daughter of The Xavier Family! Sheβs Mr. Xavier and Mrs. Xavierβs long-lost biological daughter!"
The old man was indignant, on behalf of his friends, "They worked hard to raise you, and this is how you repay them?!"
These words made Rhiannon uneasy, "Let go! Let go!" If this matter were to be discovered by father and mother today... the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thus, an evil thought suddenly burgeoned from the womanβs heart!
