Now Norton Herbert pays attention to Mary Congreve only because he is fascinated by her. As long as she dies, his position in the manor will be more stable.

After all, as long as Mary Congreve was gone, she would be the mistress of this manor and the most noble woman in the manor.

As for Norton Herbert's previous statement that he would put her in solitary confinement for a month, it was just a pretense. How could he really let her be locked up for a month?

Because of this, Lucy Herbert was in a good mood when she was brought by her subordinates. She was even very happy in her heart, waiting for Norton Herbert to give in and apologize to her. Anyway, she didn't think she was wrong.

Lucy Herbert was always arrogant towards others and didn't notice others. Besides, she was now waiting proudly for Norton Herbert to apologize to her first. Moreover, the maid next to her was so guilty that she didn't dare to look up when Lucy Herbert came over, and she tried to minimize her presence.

Lucy Herbert, who seemed to look down on people, didn't notice her existence for a moment. After all, if she saw her here, would she still be in this mood?

"Brother, what do you want me to do?" Lucy Herbert asked.

"How dare you ask me what I want to do with you?" Norton Herbert asked grimly.

Lucy Herbert noticed that Norton Herbert's tone was not right and felt a little strange, but when she saw Jiang Zhi and Alfred Tobias sitting next to her, she had a bad feeling.

She didn't know Alfred Tobias and had never seen him before, because she didn't go to see him when he came to treat Mary Congreve, so naturally she had never seen Alfred Tobias.

But she knew Jiang Zhi, and she had a conflict with Jiang Zhi before. Could it be that her brother called her here this time to apologize to this woman?

But didn't she apologize last time? What else does this woman want?

Although Lucy Herbert had a bad feeling, she didn't think it was Mary Congreve's illness. She just thought that Jiang Zhi was still nagging her about what happened last time.

"Didn't I apologize to you last time? What else do you want?" Lucy Herbert said angrily, "Brother, I already apologized to her last time, and you also punished me to be locked up for a month. I have done everything I should do, what else do you want from me?"

Norton Herbert's expression became even colder when he saw that she had no idea of ​​her real mistake.

Alfred Tobias was a little curious when he heard this, and asked Jiang Zhi: "Jiang, have you had anything with this lady before?"

Jiang Zhi was caught in the crossfire for no apparent reason and looked innocent: "Ms. Lucy, although your apology is insincere, I only accepted it reluctantly for Mr. Norton's sake. Don't blame me for everything. This has nothing to do with me."

Nothing to do with Jiang Zhi? Lucy Herbert was a little confused. How could this be possible? If it had nothing to do with Jiang Zhi, why would Jiang Zhi be here?

"Lucy Herbert, don't you know what you have done?" Norton Herbert's voice was still cold at this time: "Why don't you take a look at the person behind you to see if you recognize him.

Someone behind me? Lucy Herbert was stunned. When she first came here, she didn't notice that there were other people behind her.

Lucy Herbert looked back in confusion and saw the maid who lowered her head and tried to reduce her presence as much as possible. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, Lucy Herbert had a guilty conscience, and she recognized who the maid was even so.

Lucy Herbert's expression was shocked for a moment, but even though she felt guilty, she tried her best to maintain her expression. Then she turned around and said, "Brother, isn't she our maid? What relationship does she have with me?"

Although she did not expose herself directly, Norton Herbert was a person who could gain a foothold in Continent M after all. How could he not notice the changes in Lucy Herbert's expression?

So now he has actually confirmed the authenticity of this matter, but he has not found any definite evidence yet.

"It's okay?" Norton Herbert said with a strong aura: "It's really okay?"

"Of course it's true." Lucy Herbert's face was a little stiff: "How could I have any relationship with her? She is just a servant in the family."

"Oh?" Norton Herbert looked thoughtful, as if he still had room for Lucy Herbert to struggle: "Then why did she say that you ordered her to poison my wife?"

"No...!" Lucy Herbert looked panicked: "Brother, how could it be me? She is my sister-in-law, how could I harm her?"

"Why are you wrongly accusing me?" Lucy Herbert then pointed at the maid angrily and said, "I have no grudge against you, why are you wrongly accusing me like this!"

"Miss Lucy, I didn't wrong you. Everything I said was true." The maid was now at odds with Lucy Herbert, and she didn't care about her threats at all! "You gave me the poison and asked me to put it in Madam's food. You also threatened to do something to my family if I didn't agree."

"——Pa!" Lucy Herbert was furious and rushed forward and slapped the maid hard.

"Brother, it really wasn't me. I didn't threaten her!" Lucy Herbert said quickly, "It must be because I slapped her in the face because she didn't do something well before, so she hated me and wanted to slander me!"

"Enough! Stop talking!" Herbert, whose head was aching from her noise, scolded.

Lucy Herbert stopped talking immediately and dared not say any more.

"I have sent someone to your room to look for poison. Let's wait for the result." Norton Herbert said, "If there is no poison, I will also investigate this matter through other channels."

Lucy Herbert turned pale when she heard this. The poison was indeed still in her room.

Although the person who gave her the poison had told her that they couldn't cure it, she was still a little worried at first. But then she heard that Norton Herbert couldn't even cure it after asking the president of the M Continent Medical Association to come. She felt much more relieved.

But the arrival of the president of the M Continent Medical Association also slowed down the spread of Mary Congreve's poison, which prolonged her life.

During the confinement, she heard that the president of the M Continent Medical Association had come again, and brought a doctor who was said to be very powerful. Lucy Herbert became anxious. If Mary Congreve was really cured, wouldn't her efforts be in vain? So she chose to poison again.

However, she was still in solitary confinement and could not go out, so she could only choose someone who was easy to control to help her poison when the maid delivered food. But she did not expect that this time she was exposed.
