After the return of the real daughter, she has doubled

"If you don't tell me, your family will suffer as well." Norton Herbert said coldly.

The maid shuddered when she heard this: "Master, Master, if I tell you who is behind this, can you leave me and my family alone and make sure we are safe?"

"I don't seem to be discussing this with you." Norton Herbert looked gloomy, but he did give her a glimmer of hope: "But you are not the mastermind after all. If you can confess, your family will definitely be fine. As for you, I can't guarantee it."

What he meant was clear: if the maid revealed the mastermind, he would not do anything to her family, and might even stop or help the real mastermind when he took revenge on her family.

Her family knew nothing and did nothing, but she did take action against Mary Congreve. Although she was not the mastermind and was only drugged under threat, she was also an accomplice.

So Norton Herbert would never let her go. It was impossible for him to poison her and get away with it and take his family away with him.

Even if the mastermind behind this doesn't attack the maid after knowing that she has been exposed, I will not let her off easily.

Of course, the real mastermind behind the scenes, Norton Herbert, will never be let go. Even if the other party is a force that he cannot shake now, it is still considered an enemy. He will not let him go when he has the ability in the future.

This is very common in Continent M. This place is dangerous and no one would pay attention even if someone suddenly disappeared, let alone an inconspicuous maid.

Some petty-minded people don't care about not letting the whole family suffer. If they want to take revenge, they will directly take revenge on the whole family.

Even if the other party is a little-known force, as long as you are stronger than them and can make them disappear directly, no one can control you.

In the end, all it got in return was a sigh from outsiders. A powerful force suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But Norton Herbert was not such a person. Not to mention that the maid's family was innocent, even the maid herself was not the mastermind. She was just being used or threatened.

But it was indeed the maid who poisoned the woman. Since she had done it, she had to pay the price. It was not a matter of whether she was forced to do it or it was voluntary. Norton Herbert had no obligation to care about it. He had already done his best by promising not to touch her family and not to let any of her people get into trouble.

Norton Herbert is not such a generous person.

The maid was conflicted after hearing this, but she finally made up her mind and said, "Yes, Miss Lucy asked me to poison you."

"Lucy Herbert?" Norton Herbert frowned in confusion, because he didn't know why Lucy Herbert poisoned his wife.

Although Lucy Herbert has no blood relationship with him and he does not have a deep relationship with her, her position in the manor is unquestionable.

He was not very old when he first adopted Lucy Herbert, and he had a good relationship with her. It can be said that he raised Lucy Herbert.

However, when he grew up, his family encountered a major change. He devoted himself more to developing the family business and his personality changed a lot. After that, he had less contact with Lucy Herbert and the relationship between them became distant.

But Lucy Herbert is Norton Herbert, the recognized sister of the owner of the manor, after all. Even though they are not related by blood, she is also domineering and overbearing in the manor.

Even outside.

But the existence of Mary Congreve obviously would not affect Lucy Herbert's status in the manor, so Lucy Herbert had no reason to poison his wife.

After all, he knew his wife well. She had a gentle personality and was not competitive. She would never do anything against Lucy Herbert and treated her like a sister.

how can that be possible?

"Yes, Master, it was Miss Lucy who asked me to poison her. She also gave me this poison. I don't know what it is. There should be other remaining poisons in her room." The maid was afraid that he would not believe her and hurriedly said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to search."

Norton Herbert winked at his men behind him, indicating that he should send someone to bring Lucy Herbert over, and at the same time ask someone to search her room to see if there was really any remaining poison in her room.

The men took the order and left.

"You said that Lucy Herbert asked you to poison my wife. Do you have any evidence? Why did she poison my wife?" Norton Herbert wanted to know as much as possible before Lucy Herbert was taken away.

"I, I don't know." The maid was still shaking. "She suddenly called me over when I was delivering food to Miss Lucy some time ago."

"She asked me to poison my wife. If I didn't agree, she would make my family and I disappear in Continent M and not tell anyone else about it. If I agreed, she would give me 20 million and find an excuse to fire me after a while, so that my family and I could leave smoothly."

But before Lucy Herbert could fire her, she was put under house arrest by Norton Herbert. She couldn't take care of what was happening outside, so the maid could only wait for Lucy Herbert's house arrest to be lifted. Unexpectedly, the poisoning was investigated before Lucy Herbert came out.

"Master, I really didn't want to harm Madam for the sake of the 20 million!" The maid did not give up the opportunity to plead for herself and her family. What if Norton Herbert was moved and decided to let her go? "It was Miss Lucy who threatened me. I had no choice but to do this."

Norton Herbert realized that he could not get anything out of the maid, so he stopped asking questions.

After all, based on his understanding of Lucy Herbert, she would never tell others the reason for what she did.

Norton Herbert didn't speak, and neither did anyone else. The maid didn't dare to continue talking, and for a moment there was silence in the hall.

The silence lasted until Lucy Herbert was brought over by Norton Herbert's men.

Lucy Herbert didn't feel any fear when she came over. Her subordinates didn't tell her anything. She only knew that she was here to see Norton Herbert, her brother. She had no reason to be afraid.

She even felt a little smug, thinking that her brother must regret having beaten her because of Jiang Zhi, and brought her out to apologize to her. After all, they had a friendship for so many years since childhood. Now that Norton Herbert's parents were dead, who could compare to her relationship with Norton Herbert?

As for his wife Mary Congreve, she was just an outsider. How could she possibly compare with his sister?
