She had clearly seen a small bottle that looked like medicinal wineâ¦
Mrs. Farrell was carrying a bottle of medicinal wine for what reason? Was she ill?⦠Impossible, Mrs. Farrell was still in her breastfeeding period, even if she were sick, she wouldnât use alcohol-based medication, considering the impact it would have on the child.
Yolanda Summers could not fathom the reason.
However, this wasnât something to fuss over; she thought about it and then let it go without taking it to heart.
But Jade Carlson was observing Yolanda Summersâs expression from not far away. Seeing her continue to chat and laugh with other guests, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking to herself: Yolanda must have not seen it.
Jadeâs spirits settled, and she sat down beside Mrs. Farrell with an unruffled demeanor.
Mrs. Farrell asked her, âLittle Baby is alright, isnât he?â
âLittle Baby has had his milk and is sleeping soundly,â Jade replied with a smile, âI just went to check on him, and I even saw him smile, he must be having sweet dreams.â
Mrs. Farrell showed a satisfied smile.
A lady nearby, unfamiliar with Jade Carlson, asked, âMadam, is this your sister?â
Mrs. Farrell laughed, âI do wish she were my sister. This is my assistant, Jade Carlson, who is particularly diligent and careful in her work. If she werenât by my side, Iâd be all over the place.â
She spoke very highly of Jadeâs capabilities.
The other lady smiled and said, âMs. Carlson is so capable and beautiful. Next month, our Womenâs Rights Protection Federation is having a charity dinner, and weâre in need of a master of ceremonies. I wonder if Ms. Carlson would be interested.â
âYou flatter me,â Jade replied with a pursed lip smile, glancing at Mrs. Farrell.
Being Mrs. Farrellâs assistant, it was ultimately up to Mrs. Farrell to make the decision about her attendance.
âA charity dinner is a good cause. Such a rare opportunity should certainly not be missed,â said Mrs. Farrell like a kind elder, gently patting Jadeâs hand, âGo ahead.â
Jadeâs smile deepened, and her heart burned with excitement.
Once this succeeds, Camilla Farrell will surely value me even more!
Jadeâs heart was racing, she felt as if fame and fortune were beckoning to her. Her plan this time was flawless. Not only could she become Mrs. Farrellâs confidant, but she could also suppress the Summers family, and take revenge on Purple Summers! Revenge on Nathaniel Summers!
Now, the moment seemed ripe.
Jade reined in her excitement, and with a slight lift of her head, she swept a glance at the table where Purple Summers and her classmates were seatedâ
Purple Summers and her classmates were all there.
Atra Blanc was there too.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As for Alexander Summers, she had inquired about him. That useless fourth young master of the Summers family was often not at home.
So at the moment, the western-style house was empty.
Jade elegantly stood up and said to Mrs. Farrell, âIâll take some food to Sister Zia, whoâs been looking after the baby. She probably hasnât had a chance to eat.â
Before Mrs. Farrell could respond, the lady beside her said, âMrs. Farrell, your assistant is very attentive.â
Mrs. Farrell agreed with a smile.
At this time, a servant nearby mentioned, âThe kitchen has prepared a separate lunch for Mrs. Farrellâs nanny, and itâs about to be delivered.â
Jadeâs expression changed slightly, and then she quickly adapted, âIâll go instead. This way, I can also check on Little Baby. If he cries or fusses, I can help Sister Zia out.â
âGood idea, go ahead,â Mrs. Farrell had no suspicions.
Jade then proceeded to the kitchen and took the meal upstairs.
On the way, at a deserted spot in the corridor, Jade surreptitiously added laxatives to the soup and vegetables, then carried on to Little Babyâs resting room as if nothing was amiss.
Sister Zia was in the room, soothing Little Baby. After Mrs. Farrell had her child, she hired six or seven nannies but was most satisfied with Sister Zia, therefore keeping her close at hand.
Jade put down the food and came over to see the child, âIs Little Baby awake?â
âNot yet, still asleep, just a bit of grunting,â Sister Zia settled the baby comfortably and gently placed him in the bed.
âSister Zia, you should eat while I watch Little Baby. The food will get cold soon,â Jade suggested.
Sister Zia agreed, then added, âMs. Carlson, youâre really kind.â
Jade merely smiled faintly.
