Afterward, she fixed her gaze on Christopher and coldly remarked, “Christopher, your anger stems from the belief that Hannah has betrayed you. But have you ever considered that you essentially pushed Wendy into Keh Wilson’s arms for a mere five million dors?”


    At her words, everyone in the room hung their heads in silence.


    Wendy felt a wave of shame wash over her, yet she couldn’t bring herself to argue against the Lady’s statement.


    Christopher’s face turned an even deeper shade of red.


    Indeed, the Lady was correct.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He was furious and felt humiliated by Hannah’s actions, yet, in his capacity as a father, he had once sent his own daughter into the embrace of an older man, someone who was even a year senior to him.


    Noticing the ufortable silence, Lady Wilson continued, “We all have our ws and we are all guilty of something. Therefore, it’s pointless to cast me on one another. Instead, we shoulde together and focus on reviving the Wilson Group. Do you all understand?”


    Everyone quickly responded, “Understood!”


    Lady Wilson then added, “Furthermore, this incident should not be mentioned again in the future. If it is, I will personally expel you from the Wilson family to set an example for others.”


    Christopher and the others wore grave expressions, fully aware that Lady Wilson was not joking. They understood that publicizing such scandals was out of the question.<fnd015> This text is hosted at f?ndnovel</fnd015>


    Thus, the issue regarding Hannah was effectively settled.


    Christopher felt a significant reduction in his anger, as the Lady’s words seemed to have pacified the situation.


    The family of five resumed their positions on their hospital beds. Sensing that themotion had subsided, the doctor approached to administer an infusion to counteract the effects of the narcissus in their systems.


    At that moment, Christopher experienced a sudden and intense itch in his groin area. He discreetly shifted beneath his quilt to scratch, but surprisingly, the itch intensified.


    However, he dismissed it as a symptom of food poisoning and thought little of it.

    Meanwhile, at the vi in Thompson First, Charlie’s family had just finished their meal.


    Two middle-aged men in suits knocked on the door and addressed Charlie with respect, “Good day, sir. We are representatives from the Thompson First Property Management Company. Earlier, there was a food poisoning incident involving a family of five at Vi A04, and they were taken to the hospital. We are here to remind all residents to be vignt about food hygiene and safety. Please pay close attention to this matter.”


    Before Charlie could respond, his mother-inw, ine, approached them cautiously and inquired, “The family from Vi A04 was taken away in an ambnce? What happened?”


    One of the suited men replied respectfully, “Hello, madam. The family at Vi A04 suffered from food poisoning and has been taken to the hospital. May I ask if your family consumes any wild game, vegetables, or mushrooms?”


    ine smiled and said, “Oh, we don’t eat that kind of food, unlike that unfortunate family in Vi A04. They’re so desperate that they’ve even snuck into others’ homes to steal food!”


    The property management representative could only offer an awkward smile as he remarked, “We just wanted to ensure you are aware of this issue. It’s great to hear that you are vignt about prevention!”


    Once the two men departed, ine chuckled, “Ah, it’s true what they say, the wicked eventually face consequences! I always believed the Wilson family was cursed to live here in Thompson First! It seems misfortune has finally caught up with them! Hahaha! What a fitting oue!”


    ire asked curiously, “Mom, what happened?”


    ine responded with a grin, “Your grandma and her family suffered from food poisoning and were taken away in an ambnce. Hahaha! They truly deserve this!”


    “Food poisoning?” ire eximed in surprise, “How could they get food poisoning? Didn’t they take our vegetables? We’re all fine.”


    Jacob chimed in, “Did they eat some spoiled meat?”


    Charlie casually remarked, “I suspect they must have consumed the daffodils I nted.”
