“No! You’ve misunderstood!”

Chloe quickly explained herself.

Mary smiled wryly as she looked at Chloe. “If it were not for that, why would Xander hand in the antidote? It’s okay. I don’t blame you for it. If this is the only way to rescue Rosie, we have no choice. It’s just that I feel sorry for her.”

Her best friend was poisoned and suffered the pain, yet when she regained consciousness, she had to bear losing the man she loved.

Chloe looked at Mary’s sad face and anxiously wanted to explain. However, she did not know if she should tell Mary the truth. She could only look at Byron, wanting his permission to speak.

Byron, on the other hand, explained on her behalf.

“This is only a trick we used to deceive Xander. Everything is fake. This lady here is Chloe Lincoln, my childhood friend. She has been abroad, managing her family’s business. She only returned to the country recently. I asked her help to put on a show.”

Chloe nodded.

Mary was a little taken aback upon hearing this.
