When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1701 Poisoned Milk

"You're back," said Queenie.

"Mhm." Cassandra nodded absentmindedly.

Finished

She headed toward the kitchen. "Mom, let me make you some warm milk. Drinking a glass at night is good for your health."

After hearing that, Queenie calmly looked at her and said, "All right."

Cassandra went into the kitchen, ruthlessly pouring the drug into the milk.

She refused to believe that Queenie could continue to be so lucky and keep on living unscathed.noveldrama

As long as Queenie died that night, she would ensure that Cecilia would be ousted from the position of general manager by tomorrow morning!

As those thoughts filled Cassandra's mind, her hand trembled, and she nearly spilled the contents outside. Fortunately, she reacted quickly.

After pouring the milk, Cassandra approached Queenie and said, "Here you go, Mom."

Queenie reached out to take it.

Under Cassandra's watchful gaze, she paused for a moment before saying, "I'm not ready to sleep yet. I'll drink later."

"You should drink it now," Cassandra advised, fearing unforeseen circumstances. "If you don't, the milk will get cold soon."

"If it gets cold, I'll have someone heat up another cup," said Queenie, setting the milk aside. "Sit down and chat with me."

Cassandra, however, was not in the least bit patient. "Mom, you saw the news today, didn't you? I've been slandered and I'm just not in the mood right now."

Queenie was amused. What do you mean by slander? If you hadn't been so self-centered in your actions and behavior, you wouldn't have stirred up all this news, dragging the company down with you.

"Then you should rest," said Queenie.

Cassandra was reluctant. Squatting in front of Queenie, she pleaded, "Mom, I'll wait for you to finish your milk. Once you've drunk it, I'll leave."

Queenie observed her relentless demeanor, and in the end, she finally nodded. "All right."

She picked up the milk once again.

However, before taking a sip, she couldn't help but ask, "Cassandra, are you sure you want me to drink this?"

Cassandra thought her quite peculiar. "Mom, just drink it. You'll sleep better after you do."

Without any further hesitation, Queenie finished her milk.

She hastily left, forgetting to clean up the evidence she had left behind.

Finished

As soon as she departed. Queenie immediately called Caliste. She handed over the cup of milk. "Get this

tested."

"All right," replied Caliste.

Just as Caliste was about to leave, Queenie stopped her again. "Take me to the hospital. If there's anything harmful in the milk, it would be easier to get my stomach pumped."

It was then that Caliste understood Queenie had drunk the milk.

Before she could question it, she immediately took Queenie to the hospital.

At that moment, Cassandra was in her room, oblivious to the fact that her actions had already aroused Queenie's suspicions.

Cassandra was anxiously waiting, anticipating the housekeeper's arrival to inform her about Queenie's mishap.

As time ticked away, minutes turning into hours, there was no sign of activity from outside. Cassandra's patience wore thin. Rising to her feet, she made her way to Queenie's room.

All the lights in the room had been turned off.

Cassandra was somewhat puzzled. She called over a housekeeper. "Did my mother go to bed?" Did she die in her sleep? Is that why no housekeepers realized it?

When Queenie left, she had already given instructions to the housekeeper about what to do.

Thus, the housekeeper nodded. "Yes, Mdm. Queenie had gone to bed quite early."

After hearing that, Cassandra didn't go to knock on the door. Instead, she turned around and returned to the living room.

Suddenly, she remembered that she had forgotten to wash the milk cup. She couldn't help but ask, "Where's the milk cup here?"

"I've already washed it," the housekeeper responded.
