The Frail Wife's Ultimate Revenge

“Darling! It's time to take your medicine. The doctor has prescribed a new one, and you'll be better soon,” he said gently, showing no hint of deceit. He still seemed like the devoted husband deeply in love with me. Knowing the medicine was poisoned, I still had to pick up the bowl. --- I, a privileged daughter from a wealthy family and a top university graduate, was devastated by the disappearance of my first love and fell into the romantic trap set by a handsome hairstylist. I always believed I had wealth, love, and family. To take care of our children, I handed my company over to my husband and became a full-time housewife. Shortly after giving birth to our third child, I fell ill. My husband hired a maid for me, and I spent most of my days in a near-constant state of sleep. Until one day, I discovered that the maid was poisoning me, and my husband not only had an affair but also an illegitimate child. At that point, I realized I was in even deeper trouble. The company's assets were being transferred, fixed assets were mortgaged, and even our joint account was nearly drained. If I divorced him now, I would be left with nothing... For the sake of my children and my parents, I began to fight back despite my frail health. I aimed not only to reclaim everything that was mine but also to make that devil of a man and his mistress pay for their deeds. I was starting my revenge plan...

Anna and Arya Are Expelled from the House

Bringing up Danfeng again! It seems Danfeng is his all-purpose shield, but for me, it has only brought disaster.

 

"I am conflicted too. Changing to a new person, who knows how it will turn out, especially in terms of taking care of Kyle. She really put her heart into it, which is why I hesitated to act against her. But I warned her, thinking she would heed my warning, but..."

 

"Don't trouble yourself with it anymore."

 

I cut off his performance with a sneer, decisively saying, "Let her go! I don't want to live under the watchful eyes of a ghost! Nor do I want someone who dared to harm me to stay in my home."

 

Then I looked at him mockingly. "I've come to realize that your warnings are utterly useless. Even a nanny ignores them. I can't imagine how you establish your authority in the company!"

 

"The key is..."

 

"There is no key. Or rather, just admit you can't bear to let her go!"

 

I stared intently into Sean's eyes, directly hitting his weak spot. "She treats me with such blatant disregard, and you can tolerate it. Sean, I doubt there's any truth left in your words."

 

Sean was a bit annoyed by my words, his expression changing repeatedly. He met my gaze, which did not falter.

 

After a long pause, he composed his expression and nodded in concession. "Alright, let her go."

 

In front of Sean, I took out my phone and called Arya, telling her to come back immediately.

 

If one must go, then neither can stay. These two sisters are both troublemakers. I need to clear my house of all filth, including Sean.

 

Arya returned quickly but was obviously caught off guard by the notice to leave. She looked at the severely injured Anna and seemed to understand something, softly saying to me, "Madam, please allow me to take my sister to the clinic first to check her injuries, and then come back to collect our things, okay?"

 

I knew full well that this girl was trying to buy time.

 

So, I looked at Sean, wanting to see how he would handle it.

 

Also, I wasn't completely at ease yet. After all, I hadn't found the potion in Anna's possession. Letting her leave now would be a risk. I needed time to buffer.

 

As expected, Sean didn't disappoint me. He said firmly, "Don't try any tricks. There's no room for negotiation!"

 

His words were tough, but his look towards Arya clearly conveyed a message.

 

"Okay! I understand. We just need some time to find a temporary place to stay. We'll leave as soon as possible. My sister must have done something unforgivable to deserve this. Madam, I'm sorry."

 

Arya looked at me, speaking with apparent sincerity.

 

I sat on the sofa, unmoved, not giving an inch.

 

Arya helped Anna up and started to walk out. It seemed Anna was indeed badly hurt.

 

After they left, Sean told me he urgently needed to return to the company to handle some matters and hurriedly left as well.

 

I knew very well he wasn't going back to the company; he was going to deal with the aftermath.

 

Of course, I couldn't sit idle either. Seeing them leave, I immediately got up and searched the kitchen again, but found nothing, which frustrated me.

 

Just then, the maid I had called arrived. I didn't stand on ceremony, directly instructing her to start working, thoroughly cleaning out everything in the kitchen. Any liquid items were to be discarded and replaced.

 

Then I went to Anna's room. I had already searched this room twice, but found nothing. I was puzzled about where Anna could have hidden the stuff. This time, I carefully searched again, checking even the water tank in the bathroom, under the bed, in shoes...every possible hiding spot.

 

Still nothing! I went out to get a box. I couldn't believe I couldn't find it in such a limited space.

 

I threw all the inspected clothes, shoes, and bags into the box. I had the maid help me push the two large boxes out, making the room feel significantly emptier.

 

Sitting on the now empty bed, catching my breath, I glanced around the room again. My eyes fell on the dressing table, and for some reason, the bottles of cosmetics caught my attention.

 

Bottles, liquids! I suddenly got up and rushed over, tossing all the cream products into a bag. Finally, my gaze fixed on a bottle of perfume that looked identical to mine.

 

I eagerly reached for it, staring at the liquid inside, and immediately noticed something suspicious. Though the perfume inside was clear, shaking it produced bubbles with an imperceptible viscosity.

 

Something was definitely off.

 

I quickly opened the bottle and waved my hand over it. There was no fragrance.

 

'This kind of preparation is colorless and odorless, but very harmful to the human body!' I shivered involuntarily. It seemed this was what I had been looking for, and I felt a rush of joy.

 

She was indeed cunning, hiding it in a perfume bottle and placing it among the cosmetics in plain sight. No wonder I couldn't find it.

 

I clutched the bottle, pondering for a long time. Then I quickly returned to my room, poured out my own expensive perfume, rinsed the bottle, and poured the liquid from her bottle into mine. I refilled her bottle with an equal amount of water and placed it back among her cosmetics to prevent her from noticing. Even if she realized the swap later, she would have already been expelled from my house.

 

After arranging everything, I collapsed onto my bed, breathing heavily, and called Inara to take away the liquids for testing.

 

At this moment, I finally felt at ease.

 

Before I could fully catch my breath, Mrs. Yang came up and knocked on the door, informing me that Arya had returned.

 

She walked in obediently, just as timid as when she first arrived, standing in front of me, fidgeting with her fingers, a face full of humility.

 

I looked at her calmly, sensing that she had come to negotiate.

 

Sure enough, after some hesitation, seeing that I remained indifferent and silent, she had to take the initiative.

 

"Madam!"

 

She called out softly. I raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.

 

"My...my sister is indeed seriously injured," she said.

 

"You should take that up with Mr. Sean. He's the one who hit her. If you want compensation, you need to discuss it with him!"

 

My gaze was sharp, and I didn't hesitate to shift the responsibility to Sean.

 

She quickly waved her hands, "No, no...that's not what I meant, Madam. I know you are very kind-hearted. You have always been very good to my sister. It was her greed and discontent. But... Madam, don't you think this responsibility isn't solely on my sister?"
